Our Fashion Mood Board For December
So, we’re trying something new. We are always inspired by so many things that go into our articles and there never seems to be enough time in the world, (or words) to share it all with you. We thought we would try to sum up in an article what is inspiring us this month. We’re calling it our “December Mood Board.” A mood board is kind of like a vision board but in this case it’s pertaining to trends, beauty and even celebrities that are inspiring to us or that we are personally shopping for ourselves this month.
One trend that we’ve been really into is oversized outerwear. It’s a really popular trend that everyone seems to be getting into and we were reluctant at first, but now we have to admit, we’re here for it. We love this trend because one, it’s comfy as hell. There’s nothing we desire more in the wintertime than to be warm and comfortable. Second, we love this trend because it makes layering and dressing for winter so much more fun and fashionable. Plus, what’s better than showing up in an oversized coat and then taking it off to reveal a fabulous holiday outfit? We love this Women’s Catherina Puffer Jacket from UGG as a cool interpretation of the oversized puffer jacket. We are also really feeling this Levi’s Upside Downable Trucker Jacket with oversized pockets, white thread detailing and super slouchy silhouette.
Another trend is the super popular hot-pink color that’s been everywhere from Tik Tok to the red carpet. Made popular by Valentino, this color has really caught on this season and has even inspired the Pantone “Color of the Year.” This Shocking Pink color is in your face, bright as heck and super bold. And that’s what we want during the winter: boldness. Something to bring us out of seasonal depression and into the happy holiday spirit.
We love these Badgley Mischka Women’s Cher Pump with crystal detailing, and this is easily our go-to shoe for any holiday gathering. We are also obsessed with these Gucci GG Sunglasses not just for that fabulous pink but for the dramatic, oversized circular shape that really goes against traditional winter eyewear standards. Finally, this Dooney and Bourke Pebble Grain Satchel follows Valentino’s lead with pairing red and hot pink together in an unlikely color collab we didn’t know we needed.
Someone we’ve been really inspired by when it comes to beauty is Hailey Beiber. It seems like she’s everywhere as of late whether it’s a fashion campaign, photographed with her husband Justin Beiber in killer street styles or with her high-profile supermodel friends. So, why is Ms. Beiber on our mood board? We are in love with her skin. Just putting it plainly, we love her approach to beauty but more specifically how she embraces clean looking beauty and her natural features. It had us thinking how we too, can become what she calls, a “glazed donut.”
To achieve this glowing and dewy look we’re really into the brand Glow Recipe but more specifically this Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Face Toner. It’s a super light exfoliating toner with cactus water, cucumber and tea tree essential oils that keep your skin hydrated which is the key to having that glowing complexion. For our lips we’re keeping this Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask in our purses, in our cars and basically all over our house for luscious lips. This mask uses Japanese peach to restore cracked, dry winter lips to their former glory. Our final secret to achieving the “glazed donut,” look is this Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream. It has two types of hyaluronic acids that help to soften and firm your skin and leaves our face feeling cool as a cucumber and as glazed as a Krispy Kreme.
So, that’s a few things that we’ve got in circulation on our December mood boards this month. We think these items and trends are going to carry us over into the new year, but we’re going to share with you what we’ve added to our boards next month as well. Plus, we think there’s potential inspiration for holiday gifts on our December Mood Board as well. What do you think? Feeling inspired?
