Sneakers are a must-have no matter what time of year it is. I think they are at such a solid peak right now in fashion. And seeing Paige DeSorbo’s white sneakers from her IG stories displays just that. They can be worn for a comfort look like this or amped up a bit with jeans and a blazer (my personal fav). Either way I think after seeing this post there should be a new balance in your bank account and closet.

Madison LeCroy’s Brown Overalls

Southern Charm 2023 Instagram Fashion

As a Midwestern girl that grew up in a house with a dad and three brothers, Carhartt was always in our closets (don’t wanna say I’m a trend setter but I’ve been wearing their beanies since before it was cool). It wasn’t super fashionable back then, but always practical. Cut to today where Carhartt is a top brand and pretty fashionable. If you don’t believe me you can see Madison LeCroy rocking a pair of their brown overalls and looking fab. So basically overall you really need to get a pair!

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Shoppers Call This Vitamin C Serum a ‘Real Life Filter’—& It’s on Sale For Under $22

There’s an entire universe of skincare on Amazon, and it’s so vast that it would take light years to go through every product. Even if you filter results to show only the things you’re looking for, it would still take a lot of patience. If you’re on the hunt to find the best vitamin C serum for your skin, let us guide you in the right direction.

TruSkin’s Vitamin C Serum needs to be at the top of your list—it has over 88,000 five-star reviews and is on sale for just $22 at Amazon.

This shopper-loved vitamin C serum improves wrinkles, dullness and uneven skin tone. And thanks to the serum’s formula, shoppers actually see results. Aside from being packed with antioxidants, this vitamin C serum incorporates jojoba oil to soothe the skin and adds an extra dose of moisture to the skin. 

So how does it work? Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that holds a laundry list of benefits like brightening the skin, fading away dark spots and even reducing signs of aging. Thanks to its universal benefits, it’s held a consistent place on skincare’s most popular ingredient list. It’s even known as being an extremely effective SkinCeuticals dupe. Vitamin C works well with most skin types and can easily be added to your skincare routine alongside your other beloved products.

Even though vitamin C effectively transforms the skin, it often causes irritation if you are not familiar with using it. If you’re new to using the antioxidant, expect some discomfort until your skin adjusts to it. Also, if you’re using retinol products, make sure to layer in a moisturizer to seal in much-needed hydration that will soothe your skin. 

The serum has racked up over 88,000 five-star reviews from shoppers that can’t stop praising its benefits for their skin. It makes skin look so smooth and youthful, that one shopper called it a “real life filter,” and added, “I’ve used this at night for 30 days. I didn’t do a before and after, but I can honestly say that when my kid took a picture of me the other day, it looked like he added a filter. Literally, my skin looks ridiculously better. I’m 40. I grew up a beach baby and live in Las Vegas now, and I’m in the sun daily. I swear on 37 Bibles that this stuff has easily taken off ten years from my face.”

Another reviewer called the brightening serum a “miracle in a bottle.” They wrote that they wanted to fight signs of aging and decided to give the serum a try. “My skin tone has evened out, much brighter, and friends and family has commented that my skin is glowing and that I look younger! Well, that was the whole point wasn’t it?”

After using the serum that doubles as an anti-aging product, shoppers reported that dull skin and fine lines disappeared.

A final user in their 50s was searching to reverse their years of sun damage and creepy skin. “​​I never thought I would see much results let alone so quickly. I woke up with such glowing skin this morning. And my face feels so soft,” they explained.

TikTok’s Fave Skin-Clearing Face Spray Just got the Cutest Update for Lunar New Year


If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

This Sunday is Lunar New Year, the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. It’s celebrated by several Asian nations, such as South Korea, Vietnam and Singapore. Celebrations are also happening across the U.S., including here in Los Angeles where the AAPI-founded beauty brand Tower 28 was born. To celebrate, it’s taking its TikTok-viral SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray and giving it a New Year spin. And that’s just the beginning.

Tower 28 partnered with Mayfair Group for its Lunar New Year collection, the maker of those “EMPATHY” sweatshirts influencers are always wearing. Together, they created two limited-edition bundles featuring a sticker pack designed by Korean-Canadian illustrator KimiKimo and the brand’s most viral TikTok products. Of course, there’s a sweatshirt, too — a new “EMPATHY” one! KimiKimo designed the limited-edition, red sweatshirt as part of the collection. And it’s cute.

Both companies promise to make a donation to the non-profit organization Teach AAPI. Shop the entire collection below and find out why TikTokers say SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray saved their skin.

New Year, New Career: 2023 is the Perfect Time to Make a Change

career change after 60

Do you love January? The stress of presents, parties, and the perfect holiday season is over, and for some of us we can reflect on the past year as well as brainstorm goals for the new year ahead. January can be filled with optimism, possibility, and excitement.

I like to imagine the best self I will create over the next 12 months. For many, motivation is at its highest in January, and I can’t help feeling like 2023 will be the best year yet.

So, in that spirit, make 2023 the year that you stop settling for a job that stifles your creativity, makes you dread waking up in the morning, long for weekends and vacations, or wastes your intelligence. Time for a change! The start of a new year is the perfect time to update your resume and cover letter, start networking, sign up for classes, and apply for a new position or career.

Is It Time for Something New?

You may have been considering a career change for a while, so let’s explore the idea for a moment. Studies show that women who are passionate about their career path are not only more productive, but happier in all facets of life and have greater life satisfaction.

Working in a career where you are happy also leads to positive peer relationships and more collaboration. Now, there are two specific ways that pursuing a new career could lead to greater happiness.

One question to ask yourself is why you want to leave your current job in the first place. Does it cause anxiety or dread? Does your current job lack strong peer relationships and/or collaboration? Do you feel like your potential or contribution at your current job is going unnoticed or that you’re undervalued?

Take some time to think through these questions and reflect on the answers. Be honest with yourself. If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it is time to consider a career change.

Another approach is to recognize that intellectual and emotional health (as well as happiness and life satisfaction) grow when we are faced with new challenges that we are excited to solve. If you are considering a change, that is almost always your gut telling you that you need to step into something new, whether that is a promotion or a career pivot.

The benefit of stepping into the unknown, although scary, is that it engages you mentally and develops your problem-solving skills. Any new pursuit is scary, but don’t let that keep you stuck.

Last year, my client Rachel decided to take the leap, transition out of a stressful, unfulfilling career, and start her own business. Talk about scary; she was moving from a very stable, traditional job where she had been the majority of her life, to one where she was constantly learning during the process of working, troubleshooting, and wearing all the hats.

I had a chance to catch up with her last week, and she shared that she is happier, her marriage is better, she’s lost weight, and she has the energy to volunteer for causes she is passionate about! If you asked her, she would say that the anxiety of stepping out into the unknown was worth it in the end.

Now Is the Perfect Time for a Change

January is the optimal time for a fresh start in your career. The holiday season is over, and people are back into the work routine. Perhaps now you have the time to focus on updating your cover letter and resume, ask for references, look over job posts, and even explore new jobs that have popped up in your company due to restructuring.

January is one of the best times to apply for a new position or transition into a new career. Hiring managers and recruiters have the green light to post open positions and those interview spots are filling up quickly!

It’s Time to Get in the Driver’s Seat

If you are looking for a new role to challenge you or want to transition into a completely new career, here are some tips to make you stand out from the crowd.

Start Networking – It’s Easier Than You Think

In today’s digital age, networking can be as easy as reaching out to your friends and family to ask them about leads. I have several clients who secured a new position because a friend or family member referred them to a job! Putting yourself out there is the first step in up-leveling your life.

How up to date is your LinkedIn profile? LinkedIn is one of the top ways to showcase yourself, your skills, experience, testimonials/references, and network.

Make sure you have a great, attention-grabbing headline, use bullet points to showcase your skills, add a professional photo on your profile, and include references from past employers or mentors that highlight your best features. I created a resource, “Get Noticed on LinkedIn,” that you can grab for free and start the process!

Give Your Resume a Facelift

Your resume can make or break whether you get past the application tracking software! Recruiters spend less than 30 seconds (some studies say the number is closer to 10 seconds) looking over each resume, searching for keywords, skills, or applicable training. You need to make sure your resume stands out.

My client, Margarette, has a primary resume document with a master list of all her skills, roles, training, and education all formatted correctly. When applying for a position, she chooses which of her skills, etc. fit into the job description she is applying for and customizes her resume for that job using what she already has on her master document.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What is your passion, and are you ready to transition to a new career this year? Are you ready to make a change that seems overwhelming?
