The Stylish Type Blog

Are you a fan of long, healthy hair? Are you facing severe hair loss? Are you tired of using the conventional methods for hair growth? If yes, then let me tell you that you are not the only one. Hair growth issues are very common these days. This is because everyone has a stressful life style and unhealthy dietary habits. Now a days, many treatment strategies such as maintenance of healthy diet, use of best laser hair growth devices, use of specially formulated hair products has made it quite easier to achieve perfectly long, healthy and beautiful hair.

Factors Effecting Hair Growth

Hairs usually slow down growing when any nutritive element is missing in the diet. Deficiency of vitamins is one of the major causes of slow hair growth. This deficiency usually goes unnoticed but even a slight change in the body’s vitamin levels can effect the growth of hair. Vitamins important for hair growth include vitamin A, B, C and D. Other important nutrients include niacin, biotin and zinc.

Stress is a very important factor that effect s hair growth. Increased emotional stress causes release of large amount of oil from the glands of the scalp. Loss of moisture makes the growth process slower. Stress also leads to less oxygen intake which may lead to death of scalp cells.

To say that my makeup drawer is messy would be an understatement. It looks like a hurricane went through there. I had a really hard time finding things and it was taking way too long locate anything. I finally reached my breaking point and chose to organize it. I got this clear container from Target and reused an empty old box for dividers. The lid is perfect for storing eye shadows and eye liners while the deeper half of the box works great for bulkier products like foundation, blush, and bronzers. The result speaks for itself, like night and day! 

With winter quickly approaching, I decided to go through my closet and pick out some of my essential pieces to wear this season. Being from San Francisco, we pretty much experience the cool temperatures year around so it is no surprise that most of my closet is made up of coats and light jackets (perfect for layering). I have been seeing a lot of jewel tones in magazines and was pleased to see that I already have a few items that fit the trend. One of my absolute favorites is my blue scarf. I wear it all the time for its versatility and for the colorful impact it gives to any outfit. Seeing my things laid out actually makes me a little bit excited for the fog.

Ok, so this is officially my first outfit post. Posing for the camera was a little awkward but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it over time. I must have taken over fifty pictures (most of which I immediately deleted). It is not as easy as it seems. I only hope that one day I can have images as amazing as those taken by some of my favorite bloggers (Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere, Jessica from What I Wore, and Kelly from the Glamourai). In fact the only easy part to this process was picking out the outfit. I’ve been looking for a striped skirt for a while and finally found this one at Forever 21. Bright colors make me happy so I decided to incorporate them into the rest of the outfit being that the skirt was black and white. I can’t wait to wear the skirt again in the spring with a denim jacket, fedora and cute strappy sandals.

I have really been wanting a burgundy bag like this ever since I saw this ad by Louis Vuitton a while back. The color is perfect for fall and goes with just about anything. It’s a nice alternative to a neutral black or beige. I’m really drawn to the classic lines and structured look of it. I love keeping it simple and classic and by doing so know that any one of these could last me for many fall seasons to come.

I love sequins. I love them even more when I find them on a cute clutch. An evening bag is an essential accessory during the holiday season and a clutch is my favorite way to go. They dress up any outfit and can make a statement on their own. With fun patterns, great colors, and pretty details these six are a few I’d love to get my hands on.

This past weekend was so much fun. I spent it in Palm Springs with my boyfriend and we enjoyed spending time away from the rush of daily life. We pretty much played everything by ear and it’s starting to become a favorite destination (you can see our last visit here). We definitely wanted to relax and enjoyed a day of pampering at The Spring day spa. I highly recommend spending an afternoon there if you are planning a trip to Palm Springs any time soon. A soak in the mineral hot springs and a massage worked wonders. I also knew I wanted to do a little shopping. We made a stop at a few shops and I picked up some amazing deals. Take a look at these stylish finds that made it home with me…

The pump is probably my favorite type of heel. It’s classic and always flattering and are available in amazing assortments. We all know I’m no stranger to colorful accessories and shoes I’d say are definitely my weakness. A good shoe can really make an outfit. For that reason, I’m immediately drawn to statement making beauties like these pairs. They can all stand on their own with a simple outfit like jeans and a t-shirt or can also help spice up a dressier ensemble. I’m really lusting for the ones with the red and pink hee

The name! The packaging! The colors! Oh MY….I’m smitten over this lipstick. Kate Spade and Poppy King have partnered up to create the cutest new beauty must-have. It screams fun and girly, not to mention that I want it in every shade. The only con is actually having to decide on one.  Want one too? You can purchase yours here.

I have been looking for the perfect Faux Fur Leopard coat for a while. After spotting this one by French Connection at a favorite local store called Ambiance, I knew I had found exactly what I wanted. It’s warm, cozy, and perfect for chilly San Francisco days. 

While most of the country is getting those summer temperatures, San Francisco has been windy and chilly. The forecast yesterday said it was going to be nice but all I could see out my window in the morning was fog. I never believe the weather man so I layered up in this outfit for the cooler morning. Needless to say it did get nicer in the afternoon but never warm enough to really remove my layers. I recently got this maxi skirt and I love that I can layer it on cooler days and dress it down with sandals and a tank for warmer days. 

So a while back I wanted these J.Brand pants but couldn’t budget spending $200 on a pair. You could only imagine how happy I was to find this similar style at a fraction of the cost. I immediately thought to wear it with my yellow cardigan for a little color action. 

I love my bow pumps. I wear them a lot and you might have seen them here reand here. They complimented the pants so perfectly and added a feminine touch to the overall look.

linens by Rachel Castle

One of my biggest pleasures is climbing into a bed with clean good quality sheets. It’s just one of those things that I personally love to indulge in and Rachel Castledesigns bed linens that don’t disappoint! I love the way she plays with pops of color on white in a whimsy manner. They make a bed pretty darn fun to look at, like art. And speaking of art, that painting is her work too. Amazing right! I would love to hang one of her pieces on my gallery wall that’s still a work in progress. 

Here are some of my favorite paintings and prints she has created…
