HOW TO CREATE A CAPSULE WARDROBE
As part of the series on A Merry Mishap Blog, Jennifer and I wanted to Create a Capsule Wardrobe. If you ever wondered about those key basic items every wardrobe needs or if you've wanted to try creating a capsule wardrobe for yourself, this is the perfect place to start.
1. Trenchcoat: This versatile piece looks just as good worn buttoned up and alone as it does casually over a pair of jeans or a dress.
2. Blazer: From jeans and a t-shirt to an evening suit or silky slip, the black blazer is one of the key pieces in high rotation in my wardrobe.
3. Cashmere Sweater: One essential I always have in my closet. The Everlane cashmere sweater is lightweight, soft and the perfect fit.
4. Dress: The versatile black slip dress can be layered over a thin sweater or under a leather jacket. The slip works from day to night.
5. Tank/Tee: A classic effortless piece for layering or wearing alone.
6. Everyday Denim: A good pair of jeans that fit your body. I love my vintage Levis but for the perfect fit I get them tailored to fit just right.
7. Black trousers: A good tailored pant is my go-to and nothing beats a beautifully cut pair of cropped pants.
8. Bag: The perfect everyday bag should fit all your essentials and can be worn more than one way. As a shoulder or a top handle bag.
9. Jewelry: Love this distinctive yet timeless piece by Kat Kim that adds something unique to your everyday look.
10. OOPS, I can't count!
11. Pumps: This style works dressed up or down, adding a feminine touch to any outfit.
12. Sneakers: The perfect nonchalant piece that works across just about any occasion.
13. Flats: These Martiniano flats are my everyday shoe, comfortable and easy to pair with any look.

THE BEAUTY GIFT GUIDE
BEST SLEEPING MASKS
Overnight masks are designed to work while we sleep. Basically, it’s one of the easiest ways to get radiant, dewy skin by the time you wake up. After a few months of rotating through several sleeping masks, these were my favorites.
KAHINA GIVING BEAUTY Moisture Mask
Intense moisturizing and plumping mask that reduces redness.
HERBIVORE Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment
Antioxidant rich mask that gently resurfaces while providing deep hydration.
DR JART Water Fuse Hydro Sleep Mask
Moisture locking hydrating mask that helps remove impurities from pores.
GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Sleeping Mask
A skin-smoothing, sleeping mask with hydrating hyaluronic acid. This one gives you baby soft skin.

Here are a few ways you can help with the slow fashion movement:
- Buy less, choose well. Know where your garments are made. Shops like New Classics make it easy.
- Never throw away clothes but donate/recycle or sell your pieces.
- Shop secondhand and vintage. Vestiaire Collective is my favorite.
