Early Spring Cleaning
It's that time of year again! Cleaning out my closet of items I gently loved or didn't wear at all. I'm selling my items both on EBAY and on POSHMARK (Look me up @mindy_28). If you have any more question on an item or just want to buy through me directly, e-mail me at - kindofluxe@gmail.com. Lots of great items for every style and occasion...from shoes to handbags, check them out! *NOTE: If you buy through Poshmark, shipping is flat rate and inexpensive. Both ebay and my personal website items will be weighed and shipping will most likely be more expensive. If you'd like to buy through me and do shipping through Poshmark, we can arrange that. :) Happy Shopping, darlings!

Winter Hair Care
It's that time of year...where moisturizing everything from my head to my toes two to three times a day is literally on my 'to-do' list. Everything is so dry and my skin gets so sad. Even though I drink more than my body weight in water, it just never seems to be enough, especially for my hair. So, out goes my light airy summer products and in come the big guns...
I am a huge fan of Phyto products after my friend introduced me to Phyto 9 Nourishing day cream. I literally felt like I had a hair transplant because my ends were almost instantly transformed. To be honest, my hair hasn't been the same since I decided to drastically change it by going grey (remember that?). Sigh, I'm still trying to bring it back to, well...as healthy as I can get it since I still use heat styling about every other day.
1. I start by washing my hair with Phytojoba Intense hydrating brilliance Shampoo. Smells amazing and really deeply cleans your scalp which I need since I usually use a day or two of dry shampoo and never want residue.
2. After Shampooing, every week I try to do an intense hydrating hair conditioning mask. Phyto Extreme Exceptional Mask. After using this product, I've seen a significant difference in my ends especially. Nothing I hate more than having to cut more off my ends cause they are too dry and this mask has helped dramatically. Leave in for about 20 minutes on towel dried hair OR if you can, leave it in over night and wash out in the morning. *NOTE: If you have thin hair, I would not put this product into your roots/scalp..it will make your hair greasy! I usually put it from mid-hair length, down to the ends.
3. While hair is still a bit damp after washing out the exceptional mask, add the Phyto 9 Nourishing Cream to your ends. Great thing about this product is you can add it to dry hair as well and your hair literally soaks it all in without any sticky residue. I use this before putting in a little Moroccan oil + added styling products. Use the Nourishing Cream as a base before other products for hydration. Unfortunately, no protection with this creme but you can just layer a heat protection product on top of it.
Phyto is available at Sephora and I've even found some products at my local CVS! If you buy through Sephora though you can get your awesome reward points, yay perks!

Winter Chill
Turning my winter blues into shades of black, beige, and caramel. During a time where you mostly have to waddle everywhere from the countless amount of layers, looking good is sometimes my last concern. After seeing this amazing outfit on Fashion Editor Giovanna Battaglia, I'm rethinking my winter blues and making a very conscious decision of looking cuter than this negative degree weather.
THE LOOK:
Shearling Moto Jacket (Similar here)
Tall Brown Boots (Variation here)
This look would also be very cute with a tight black turtle neck underneath or a bright white collar peaking out of that amazing camel sweater. Lots of good details in this look but most important is the amazing Acne Shearling Moto Jacket. I die for this jacket. Currently lusting over it in black but this brown one is just as amazing.
