The Couture Chronicles

Cheers to March! Lets get right to it; these are the things I’ve been loving this month:

1. Brown Suede Bucket Bag

I recently picked up this bag from H&M, and I’m absolutely obsessed. I had been on the hunt for a chic yet functional bucket bag, and this one is the perfect addition to my collection. It’s spacious enough to take with me back and forth to school, but also perfect for a day out running errands.

2. EltaMD Tinted Sunscreen

This tinted sunscreen is the perfect base for your makeup. With SPF 46 protection, it not only shields your skin but also evens out your complexion with a light tinted coverage. Sunscreen every day is a must—no questions asked—and this product makes it effortless, so you don’t even have to think about it!

3. Tall Gloss Red Hunter Rain Boots

March has had its fair share of rainy days here in NYC and there is nothing I love more than a statement shoe. In middle school Hunter Boots were all the rage and I think it’s safe to say, they are back and better than ever. Built to last, these boots are perfect for all sorts of terrain and weather. Not to mention, colorful rain boots are a playful but stylish way to elevate your spring wardrobe.

4. Stainless Steel Face Roller

Almost every morning, after my skincare routine, I use my collection of gua shas and face rollers to de-puff my face from the night before. While it might not be for everyone, I truly believe it makes a noticeable difference. We often retain extra fluid in our faces, and by gently stimulating movement towards our lymph nodes, it can help reduce fluid retention and swelling. I even keep mine in the freezer for an added cooling effect.

5. Homemade “Protein” Dessert Clusters

These protein desert clusters are the perfect mid day pick me up or late night snack. They are super easy to make and you can use almost anything you have in your pantry (measurements are to your own best judgement). Typically, I use:

• Rolled Oats
• Peanut Butter
• Honey
• Nuts (Chopped Almonds, Walnuts… or whatever you prefer)
• Chocolate Chips
• Cinnamon

You could also add in pieces of dried fruit, coconut flakes, seeds or anything else that sounds good. I love making these and keeping them on hand throughout the week.
