Hey guys! I feel like we haven’t caught up in a while. Tbh life and work have been really busy and I’ve also been trying to relax more. I also spent last weekend in Palm Springs and feel like I am still catching up from being away for a couple days. Trying not to stress about it!! So, I thought I’d share a couple things that have been total game changers in my life.

Lately I’ve been loving:
This dry shampoo.
I only wash my hair 1-2x a week and this product gets me by without looking like a total disaster. Before you say that’s gross, washing your hair too often can fade colored hair (the maintenance is real). I also read spraying your hair with dry shampoo BEFORE a workout helps absorb sweat and keeps your hair looking fresh – will report back on that next!
Mushroom coffee.
If you don’t know, now you know. Don’t let the name scare you, it’s simply instant coffee with mushroom powder. AND it happens to be vegan, paleo, sugar free, and non-GMO. This stuff is AMAZING and gives you so much energy. It also tastes surprisingly good, considering how it’s technically instant coffee. You just mix the powder with hot water and you’re good to go. My boyfriend discovered this and now I am taking all the credit (sorry babe!). Oh, and get 10% off using my code THELUXILOOK. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!!
This dress.
I am not easily swayed by sales or fast fashion (see my take on shopping fast fashion or sample sales) but every once in a while you come across a find that is simply too good to pass up. I couldn’t believe this dress was only $29(!!) – yes, really – and knew I had to have it. For the price it really can’t be beat. As someone who religiously scours the new product section on Forever 21’s site, this is one of my favorite pieces I’ve seen in a while!
Even though it is way too hot to be thinking about fall fashion, my lazy girl solution is to bring back booties and wear them with anything and everything. I’ve lost count of how many pairs of black booties I have (can you ever really have enough?) but I love this pair from Marc Fisher and the extra height it gives me. I am also convinced a hat is the perfect finishing touch to ANY outfit – bonus points because it protects your hair and skin from the sun. There you have it – the easiest pre-fall transitional outfit ; ).
And because Labor Day seems to unofficially mark the end of summer, I’m trying to plan a quick weekend getaway for that weekend along the west coast – any suggestions??

Thanks Romina! xx
I love the dress! The unique twist is my favorite detail. And dry shampoo is seriously a total life saver! I love it 🙂 I’ve never heard of mushroom coffee before but I’ll definitely check it out! Does it taste like mushrooms though? I’m not sure how that would work since I’m not a fan 🙁
Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you pretty!! Def try out the mushroom coffee and lmk what you think – it doesn’t taste like mushrooms at all! It tastes like decent coffee (hopefully you’re not TOO much of a coffee connoisseur… haha) xx
Wow, I love all these things (well, the mushroom coffee does scare me a little bit TBH). =) I need to check out that dry shampoo because I haven’t found one that I love quite yet. Cannot believe this dress is so affordable and so stinking cute! I love your finds! You seriously are the romper queen babe! xoxo, Christine

Mushroom coffee sounds so weird but I’ve been drinking it for years every time I go back to Thailand. Honestly, I only drank it because it said it aided in weightloss but it does taste nice for instant sachets haha Love your dress. Perfect for the last weeks of summer!

I had no idea mushroom coffee aided in weight loss! Totally looking into that now. Tbh I never used to drink coffee but lately it’s been giving me a much needed boost to get through busy days. Thanks so much for the tip and for reading babe xx
Ohh this dress is so gorgeous! Love it styled with the black boots! I haven’t heard of mushroom coffee before, it sounds.. interesting! hehe

Thanks for the sweet comment, Emily! I swear mushroom coffee is just regular coffee that has some mushroom powder in it (it tastes totally normal). Lmk if you ever try it – have a great weekend xx
Super cute! =)
