The winter months are already upon us, so we’ve come up with a short list of our must-have items to help you get through this upcoming winter.

Just because you’ve crossed the 60 year old mark does not mean you can no longer be stylish. Our youth obsessed culture has many of us thinking that it is okay to wear tight crop tops and neon leggings but not all of us can follow these youthful trends. It is important to not focus on these trends and look for what works for you to create your personal style. Look to style icons of your age such as Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, and Jane Seymour. Here are a few essentials to get you started in order to look fabulous in your 60’s!

When it comes to your middle age, there are visible changes to your body and face that means you are no longer your younger self but that doesn’t mean you should give up on your style. It is not about dressing younger but making the clothes work for you. You want to be comfortable as well as elegant. A wrap dress would look great because it accentuates your shape rather than covers it. The Essential Three-Quarter Sleeve Undershirt is perfect under everything you wear to keep your clothes looking nice on the outside while feeling fresh on the inside all day long. You don’t always have to wear flats, in fact when possible wear comfortable heels to elongate your legs. Splurge on a leather jacket that will last you a lifetime and find one that is flattering to your body and that is not too boxy. Lastly, your makeup should be light and subtle while your purse can be youthful and add a pop of colour to your outfit.

When travelling to any destination, it is extremely tempting to bring all your beauty products along with you even though they are sometimes unnecessary. Our beauty products are our prized possessions but sometimes a girl’s got to compromise, especially when there are tons of restrictions on bottles and liquids when travelling. Don't worry because we have 5 beauty tips to prepare you for the next trip you go on.

1) Figure out your essentials. What are the items that you cannot live without? That could be your foundation, mascara, or lipstick. Go through your beauty products and sort them into items you need and don’t necessarily need on a trip.

2) Mini. Everything. It is super easy to find a tiny version of that shampoo or lotion that you like. Another option is getting mini bottles and squirting your own stuff into them.

3) Avoid spills or leakage. If you’re bringing shampoo or lotion, wrap them in towels or in plastic bags so they don’t spill all over your stuff. You don’t want to arrive at your destination only to find all your stuff covered in a sticky mess.

4) Stay looking (and feeling) fresh on long flights. Bring a face spray or wipe with you to freshen up during a long flight. Also bring moisturizer since it can get extremely dry in planes.

5) Try solid options. Solid shampoos and soaps such as the ones from Lush are a great alternative to liquids when packing. They also work just as well as their liquid siblings.
