Obsessed With Platform Boots

Platform boots, or Bowie boots, are essential to any 70s-inspired wardrobe. While these boots have been worn by tons of rockstars over the years, I first associated them with the glam rock icon, David Bowie.

The great thing about these boots is that you can find a boot to fit anyone’s style. You can find them in basically any color or patter and with literally any kind of embellishments. Are you more punk rock? You can find them with spikes. Goth? There are plenty of options with black leather buckles. Do you really embrace the “glam” in “glam rock”? There are tons of glam patterns out there for you.

Personally, I prefer to choose platform boots in suede or animal prints. Picking boots that are a little more neutral gives you more outfit options. I’m really in love with these secondhand Saint Laurent Candy boots in brown suede that I bought from The Real Real.

Obsessed With Cruelty Free Skincare

I used to have super bad skin as a teenager. It got to the point where I was going to a dermatologist once a month and getting painful deep peels that caused blisters all over my face. And they didn’t even help with my acne at all.

I currently have the best skin of my life. Honestly, skipping the harsh acne treatments and switching to a gentle plant-based cruelty free skincare routine has made a huge difference.

After removing my makeup, I use the Superfood Cleanser by Youth To The People and a facial brush to cleanse, exfoliate, and unclog my pores. Then I use the Jasmine Green Tea Toner by Herbivore Botanicals, which tones and balances my skin without drying me out and causing my oily skin to overproduce oils. Then, I use the Bakuchiol Serum by Herbivore Botanicals, which is basically a vegan retinol alternative. Lastly, I use the Superfood Air Whipped Moisture Cream by Youth To The People. I love it as a moisturizer because it’s light and doesn’t clog my pores or leave me greasy.

My favorite part of my cruelty free skincare routine is my jade facial roller. After using all my serums and moisturizers, I give myself a super relaxing facial massage. The massage helps push all of my products deep into the skin while also de-puffing, toning, and encouraging lymphatic drainage. After my facial massage, I apply my GradeBrow and GradeLash serums by Grande Cosmetics to try and help my brows and lashes recover from my high school years. Finally, I put on some Agave+ lip balm by Bite Beauty to keep my lips nice and moisturized.

Obsessed With Graphic Tees

Graphic tees are a go-to for pretty much any outfit. Whether you’re into vintage band tees, designer logo tees, or tees with a quirky design, there’s a graphic tee for everyone out there.

I’m personally a fan of band tees and graphics that are inspired by band tees. I love all of Hallow Collective’s designs. If you’ve been following me on Instagram for a while, you’ve definitely seen me rocking a lot of their tees. Not only to they have good band-inspired designs, they also have actual vintage band tees. You’ll definitely see where their design inspiration comes from after check those out.
