Come cold weather season, I find myself on the go even more so than all of the lazy summer months, and the last thing I want to worry about is my complexion.  And while I absolutely adore this cozy time of year, it truly wreaks havoc on my skin, and I find myself on the hunt for the best products to winterize my daily skincare routine. 

Over the years I’ve found that having a winter skincare routine can be as simple as swapping out my daily moisturizer, sure, but finding the right one is absolutely key. With changing weather between the milder climates of Georgia to the downright freezing and harsh climates of the North traveling always causes my skin to appear dry, irritated and uneven, and I need to be able to depend on a routine, specifically a daily moisturizer, to give my skin that coveted, radiant, no-stress-I-actually-got-8-hours-of-sleep glow. 

Per a friend’s suggestion I recently picked up a bottle of  AVEENO®’s Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer and I’d be lying if I didn’t say how impressed I’ve been by the effects.  Sure Jen Aniston (because we’re besties) swears by it, and it’s clinically proven to even skin tone AND texture, plus it has the daily SPF I have to depend on, but I really didn’t think AVEENO® was going to be the “one.”  However, after a few weeks I have to say my skin hasn’t shown signs of any its usual stress and more importantly my super sensitive skin hasn’t broken out in the slightest.  I’ve been so thrilled with the results I also decided to give Aveeno®’s Daily Moisturizer, and their Skin Relief Gentle Scents line a shot.  It’s proven to be the answer to people with finicky skin like me…only very subtle oatmeal and coconut scents, but a creamy consistency that gives my skin that clean, yet gentle feel that I’ve come to look for in a daily wash.  Moral of the story, AVEENO® has quickly become the star to of my daily skincare routine.  Truly, MKR

7 Cold Weather Street Style Looks to Steal

With a Great Coat, Killer Bag + Boots and Cool Hat, You'll Look Like You're Straight Back From Fashion Week
Filed Under > Noted By

What is it about the seasons that always has us looking to the next one, especially when we’re talking fashion? Somehow I’m already scheming up my plan to invest in few key pieces for winter (I’m especially on the hunt for THE perfect black cashmere turtleneck if you have any recs), and I’m still enjoying Fall here in the South!  But in my defense, I’ll be visiting family in the northeast over the holidays and will need a pretty major coat and some great boots. 

But if you’re like me, you’re scrolling Pinterest and coming across so many great winter street style looks that are just begging to be replicated once the temps drop.  Click through the slideshow above to find a few of my favorite winter street style looks, and links to get similar pieces. Cheers, Kat

P.S. If you’re in Atlanta, we’ll be at the gorgeous new Frye store at Ponce City Market tomorrow night from 7 to 9 p.m. and MKR will picking out winter must-haves and talking all things bags + boots! Oh, and we’ll be enjoying bites and sips from The Optimist! xo

Those Forever Pieces

An Outfit Made Up of Elevated Basics that Will Never Go Out of Style

Black leather jacket and black pants and black sunglasses...An #ootd of forever pieces in your wardrobe | Waiting on MarthaAll black outfit and Kate Spade handbagAll black outfit with black leather jacketAllSaints black leather jacket via Waiting on MarthaAll black outfit ideas via Waiting on Martha Black leather jacket and black pantsBlack outfit via Waiting on MarthaAll black outfit via Waiting on Martha

I’m a firm believer that one can never, ever go wrong with black.  An all black outfit is as effortlessly cool as it is consistently comfortable…you just know you’ll feel great in it all day. And with all black outfits on rotation calls for elevated basics that can serve as “Forever Pieces” in my closet.

I’ve talked about investing in “Forever Pieces” before, and today’s outfit is made up entirely of just that: a black leather jacket, tailored black pantsclassic black pumps, a favorite pair of sunnies and a great handbag. All are simply timeless.

I love dressing down the sharp black pants and patent pumps with the rugged, too-cool-for-school detailing on my ALLSAINTS black leather jacket (who’s having a MAJOR sale on leather right now!). And you’ve heard me say that when I like something, I like something, and have been known to stock up on a few pairs of the same thing just because I know I’ll reach for it for years to come… Well that case in point: black pants by Theory. They are just as comfortable as they are stylish, and they truly go with everything. 

I call these my “Forever Pieces” because their good lines and exceptional quality ensures that they don’t become those transient pieces that never see next season (or outside your closet!).  These pieces in fact simplify my wardrobe; I don’t complain about having nothing to wear when I know I can reach for these tried-and-true wardrobe staples. Tell me loves, what do you define as your “Forever Pieces”? Truly, MKR
