The Korean 10 Step Skincare Method

Hey all! Those of you who are into K-Pop or watch K-Dramas, myself included, are definitely familiar with the Korean Skincare Method. For those of you who haven't heard of it, let me enlighten you. The Korean Skincare Method is a ten step (give or take a few steps depending on what your skin needs) process that almost guarantees glowing, healthy, clear skin. Finally, a skincare method that can rid me of my dry, flaky, skin!! When I heard about this method, I immediately took to the internet to do my research. Does it really give you healthy, dewy skin? Is it okay for my sensitive skin? Will it get rid of my flaky skin? After thorough research my conclusions were yes, yes, and yes. Despite the unbelievably long routine (10 steps and counting!!), this method is well worth the effort. Korean women take pride in their skincare routine, so they take their time, relax and enjoy their 'me-time'. As a strong believer in 'me-time' I am absolutely thrilled with this method. I'm also tired of my dull, dry skin.  Here is the suggested 10 step process. However, keep in mind that you may need either fewer or more steps depending on what your skin needs. So far I have only 5 steps, because I'm new. So keep an open mind. I recently did a makeup haul so I'll do reviews of the products I bought.

How to Wear: Crop Tops

I used to think that crop tops were a trend reserved for teenagers, but I was wrong. Though they aren't appropriate in a business settings, they are the perfect accessory for hanging out with friends or travel comfort. I tend to favor timeless pieces over trendy ones so, naturally, after realizing the fashion potential of a crop top I got curious as to its history. Turns out crop tops date back to the 1970's with athletic attire for men featured crop tops. Then crop tops became popularized from the hit move Dirty Dancing. That, I realized, should be the inspiration for how I wear crop tops (with modern adjustments of course). So without further ado, how to wear crop tops.

Classic Street Style Closet Staples

Its' no secret that old trends are making a come back. To my mother's surprise, trends that she saw in high school and college have re-entered the fashion scene. For those with classic style, this is a very good thing. It makes it easier to dress how we always do! The only difference is that now lots of people want to do the same. Here are a chart of pieces you should include in your closet!

Chic Summer Looks

Personally, I find that summer doesn't agree with my closet. My favorite season has always been fall, and my clothing reflects that. I still have sweaters hanging up in my closet as opposed to in a box with my other winter clothes! So it's safe to say that summer just doesn't come naturally to me. However, I have learned to cope by choosing some of these simple outfit ideas that make me look clean and put together (even though I'm totally not). Hopefully these looks inspire you the way they did for me!

How To Wear: Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend jeans are one of my favorite pieces in my closet. They're one of those pieces that can be worn with just about anything (within reason). The bad thing is that most people, after they've snagged a pair, will just want to throw a t-shirt on and walk out the door. While, you can totally do that and still look very put together, you should explore the other ways you can style these classic and fun jeans.
