Necklace as an Inspiration

This beautiful necklace from Ettika was my inspiration to style the elegant and feminine look I wore today. This unique-style necklace made me think of the midi skirt I bought from ASOS a while ago, but had no idea what to wear it with. So, for whatever reason, I felt like these two items would go together perfectly. I hope I was right! -)

SoCozy’s NEW Sensitive Hair Care Products for Kids

Look what we found at Target a few weeks ago!!! Let me tell you why I was so excited about these products. -)

SoCozy Hair Products

My daughter’s hair has always been on the dry side. As she was growing up, and her hair was getting longer, we learned that it needed some extra conditioning. And so we are always on the lookout for the hair products that are specifically made for dry hair and sensitive scalp. That’s why I was so excited to see SoCozy brand, the salon-quality hair care products developed for kids, at Target. Their new HUSH collection by SoCozy is designed to treat dry hair for children with sensitive skin. It includes HUSH Sensitive Scalp Serum, Sensitive Foam, Sensitive 2in1, and Sensitive Detangler.

Here is what my daughter’s hair looks like very morning after she brushes it. Obviously, it needs some conditioning. So, let’d start testing the HUSH collection, and see if it does what it promises.

First, we used the Sensitive Scalp Serum. It’s a non-greasy, leave-in formula that helps calm an irritated scalp, while reducing dry flakes.

The best way to use it is to part her hair in small sections, apply directly to scalp and massage gently.

IMG_7785-4fM

Then I sprayed it with the detangler. I am very impressed how well conditioned, smooth and soft her hair was. It was very easy to brush through.

IMG_7770-4fM

I could definitely see the benefits of using it every morning. It will get the tangles out with no problem. See the result below.

Next, we washed her hair with the shampoo+conditioner.

The brush on the tube was a nice feature for applying shampoo on her hair.

The product foamed very nicely as we worked it through her hair.

However, when my daughter rinsed it out, it didn’t just feel dry…it looked dry. As you see on the photo, her hair still needed some conditioning.

IMG_7811fM

To be fair, I have to mention again that my daughter’s scalp and her hair always needed extra conditioning. For whatever reason, the product made little difference for her hair.

IMG_7821fM

To fix the problem, we immediately sprayed the detangler on it, and again it worked its magic. Her hair became soft and easy to brush.

IMG_7840fM

To make her hair looking fuller and to add more volume, I used Sensitive Styling Foam.

IMG_7769-4fM          IMG_7833fM

I let it dry naturally, and really loved the end result. Judge for yourself!

IMG_7860fM

To summarize my review, I will definitely be buying SoCozy detangler, foam, and scalp serum in the future. All these products work very well with dry hair. Each one of them contributed to my daughter’s hair looking softer, shinier, and healthier. I strongly recommend all three of these products.

However, I can’t say the same about the shampoo+conditioner, as it didn’t work for my daughter’s hair. It may work well with your kid’s hair, but that’s just my experience. And, keep in mind, her hair is really dry.

Dressy Casual StreetStyle

If you follow my posts, you know by now that I like playing with different styles…mixing and matching dressy and comfortable, expensive and cheap…it’s my fun and creative way to dress up that somehow when all put together makes it looks stylish and complete. It’s like a game!

Today I am layering a black dressy top and a military jacket with a tan pencil skirt. Heels, clutch, and curls add a feminine touch.

I stay home most of the time, as I home-school my kids, and am very happy to do so! -) However, somehow my closet includes many office-style outfits. Pencil skirts are one of my favorite garments, and it’s one of the main pieces that creates a perfect office-style look.1 (2).fMjpgIMG_6859f

Black and White Never Gets Old!

Black and white color combination is one of my favorite in an outfit. To keep it from being boring or too busy, I like to add a touch of silver or gold accessories.

My Ideal Valentine’s Day Outfit!

So, we got a gift idea for Valentine’s Day in my previous post, and today is time to get an idea of what to wear that day to look and feel absolutely fabulous. I put together my ideal outfit to go to a fancy restaurant for dinner with my husband.

Tan color is my favorite at the moment, as it’s simple and eye-catching at the same time. A burgundy color clutch and shoes were added to the look to spice it up and bring it to life. -)

Smokey eyes, heavy mascara, and maybe even fake eyelashes (don’t do it usually, but that day is special) is a must-have for my makeup, especially if it’s evening.

The outfit looks great, but to make it perfect, I’d like to add a simple and absolutely beautiful gold necklace. There is a great store AUrate New York with an amazing selection of contemporary yet timeless real gold jewelry made right in New York City. I absolutely love the style of every piece they offer, and I’d love to add one to my ideal look. Below are the two that I really like. Any one of their gold necklaces would go perfectly with my Valentine’s Day outfit.

Wear it, own it!

Valentine’s Day Gift Idea!

As you know, I mainly post my favorite styles and outfit combinations to express the “creative side of me.” However, I wanted to change pace a little bit and focus on my husband this time around! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I was trying to think of some different gifts that would be perfect for him. His wardrobe needs a little help and that’s when I came across Tommy John

They’ve really gone all out in terms of putting the guy first and that’s just what I’m looking to do this Valentine’s Day. I love how they’ve put a lot of care into the fit and fabrics they use. I was reading some of the reviews and it sounds like guys feel the same. I definitely think my husband will appreciate the thought, and I’m positive he’ll enjoy the added comfort too. No more bunching or riding up that’s for sure!

I’m currently considering their underwear and undershirts. I really think hell enjoy them!

What gift ideas are all of you thinking of for this Valentine’s Day?

The Prettiest Dress to Wear for Holidays

So, this was my first time renting a dress for a party, and definitely not the last one! -)

It was my husband’s idea! Based on our previous experience, I buy a beautiful evening dress for a party, and wear in once or twice, well, three times the most…and then it just takes space in my closet. On one hand, I don’t want to get rid of it because it’s still new, on the other hand, I don’t want to wear it, as everyone saw me in it. I am funny like that! -)

I got this beautiful dress at Rent the Runway. Their customer service, fast shipping, and the dress itself, all of it was just wonderful! That beautiful evening, I wore an amazing Karma Drama gown for $1,595 dress to the party, and paid only $85 for 4 days! What a bargain!

As the holidays come, I definitely would recommend this place to you.

If you follow me on Instagram (@olyacreative), I bet you were one of the first ones who got to see me in that dress that same evening. -)
