all systems go

The color is slowly fading from all our wardrobes, but varying textures are taking its place.

The easiest way for me to break up the monotony of an all-black winter wardrobe is to throw on faux fur outerwear. I'm all about this faux fur vest from Foxiedox; it's a nod to the Creature within without making me look like the Yeti. Plus, they're a vegan, animal-friendly brand. No Yetis were harmed in the making of this product.

I'm going to shamelessly plug my lipstick Creature (that I'm wearing above) in here. I'm still so ecstatic over this shade! It keeps flying off the e-shelves and I've yet to see a complexion it doesn't look bomb on. At only $5 a pop, the Creature lipstick and liner are a fantastic and affordable stocking stuffer for Christmas. And Colourpop, the makers of my shade, are a cruelty-free, paraben-free brand. Animal- and people-friendly vibes all around. Check out my Creature lipstick and lipliner!
