This relates to all things interior design and beyond.
Fashion fave...
Why are comfortable, cute shoes so hard to find? Loafers are having another moment (did they ever stop?) and Aynsley found the Zoe Chunky Loafer from Portland Leather this month. She absolutely loves them because they are stylish and comfortable. The chunky sole provides the perfect amount of support and cushioning for all-day wear. Plus, the classic design makes them versatile and easy to pair with any outfit. They’re a little snug at first but the leather breaks in very quickly. If you’re between sizes, you might want to go up half a size.Â
A local spot...
Rebecca is known for being the queen of a vintage find. She mixes new and vintage into her designs to create unique and inspired spaces. If you also love quirky vintage and midcentury design, you should stop into Stardust Vintage. You can spend an hour or two wandering through the booths looking at all the fabulous kitsch. The prices are fair and Rebecca always finds good accessories and art! Rebecca’s ability to mix new and vintage pieces creates unique and inspired spaces. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by Stardust Vintage and see what treasures you can find for yourself.
Makeup must...
We absolutely all shopped the Sephora sale. Two of us may or may not be Rouge members. The sale is a great time to get ahold of new products that you’ve had your eye on and stock up on tried and true staples. Claire loves the Makeup by Mario Surreal Skin Liquid Foundation. In an alternative life, she was absolutely a beauty influencer. She loves trying new makeup and this is one of her favorites. It took 3 attempts to get the color right but it gives the most beautiful dewy glow and has great coverage. Topped with the Kosas Cloud Powder, it makes her skin look perfect.Â
That’s a wrap! We love anything that will make our day to day easier or prettier. Whether it’s beauty, fashion, or local spots, we like to keep a solid list of recommendations at the ready. So, what have you been loving this month? We’re always excited to try something new!
