There is something about wearing natural materials that makes your look feel a little more luxe. Whether you’re bundled up in fur or sporting some warm wool, having a naturally inspired garment can instantly amp up the luxury factor of your outfit. Especially when it comes to wintertime, there is perhaps no better season for calling upon the cozy confines of a natural fabric to keep you from freezing.

There are all kinds of natural fabrics (and faux alternatives) for the winter season that not only serve a functional purpose but also add a dash of fashion to the mix. Because why bother wearing something if it doesn’t look good? We gathered some of the best natural garments to sprinkle into your winter wardrobe if you are ready to luxe it up and stay toasty.

  1. Fur Vest

Vests are a great way to preserve your body heat without the hassle of a big, bulky jacket. For a stylish upgrade on a traditional vest, a fur vest is definitely the way to go. There are plenty of ways to rock a fur vest, so we like to go through one slideshow from Style Bistro for some fresh styling ideas. One of our favorite things about fur vests is that they act as neutrals and are very versatile.

  1. Wool Coat

A wool coat is a winter staple, but here in LA, it might not seem as necessary as it is in, say, Canada. However, don’t let the weather deter you from adding this super luxe item to your closet! We found a men’s half-sleeved wool overcoat at this LA-based brand’s page on Lyst that cuts back on the warmth a bit and brings the heat in terms of style. It’s the perfect in-between piece.

  1. Leather Moto Jacket

Does anything look cooler than a sleek, black leather jacket? We’re going to vote ‘no.’ There’s just something so inherently cool about leather moto jackets that makes this article an absolute must for anyone wanting to up their fashion game.

  1. Shearling

The final natural material we’re spotlighting is the hippie-chic shearling coat (or vest). Shearling has made a recent fashion comeback from its heyday back in the ’60s and ’70s, and designers are offering all kinds of modern twists on the classic favorite. Plenty of variations on the trend are highlighted by a Huffington Post article, where you’re sure to find a look that fits your personal style.

Remember, if you’re not a fan of wearing the real thing, there are plenty of faux options that provide the same amount of style. Whether or not the faux options will be as warm as the real materials is a toss-up, so be sure to test out your alternatives to make sure they meet your winter needs. All you need is a garment that looks like the natural material to create a vision of luxury—whether or not that material is the real deal is entirely up to you.

NEXT-HEALTH LAUNCHES “PMS-LESS PACKAGE” TO HELP COMBAT THOSE PESKY SYMPTOMS

November 9, 2016

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

WHAT: Next Health just opened on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and it’s set to become the leading destination for health, wellness and beauty in the hood!

What is it? Well, they offer a range of customized services featuring state-of-the-art, holistic medical treatments and beauty services curated by seasoned medical professionals. With a modern, minimalist and chic design, Next Health’s experience veers away from the traditional ‘cold’ feeling of a medical office and instead is cultivating a new environment for the future of health and wellness services.

As part of their launch, Next Health is offering a new PMS-Less package. The $299 package (Retail Value $400) includes a combination of cryotherapy, IV therapy, and supplements. Leading causes of PMS include:

  • Chemical changes in the brain
  • Low levels of vitamins
  • Mineral deficiency
  • Hormone and chemical imbalances

“PMS is caused by a hormonal change resulting in pain, low energy, water retention, headaches and occasionally mood disturbances,” says the PMSLess package creator, the renowned Dr. Darshan Shah, “The good news is that most of these symptoms can be alleviated with good nutrition and hormone optimization! Next Health offers a package designed to target the specific concerns of women during the most difficult time of their cycle.”

The Next Health PMS-Less Package includes treatments that have been specifically designed to combat the symptoms that come along with PMS. Two sessions of cryotherapy will create chemical and hormonal balance within the body and aid in maintaining one’s mood. Instant “Good Vibes” will be felt thanks to Norepinephrine and guest will have an improved ability to handle stress.

I was so excited to try the PMS-Less IV Therapy session – which utilizes specifically selected vitamins that encourage “feel good” neurotransmitters, reduce bloating, swelling, headaches and appetite fluctuations. The IV cocktail, which is administered while I was in a big comfy chair, for around 25 minutes, also features minerals that are not only considered “natures tranquilizers” and work as pain relievers but also help produce energy and enhance mood.  The amino acids included in this well rounded blend help to balance hormones and work well to level out blood sugar which reduces food cravings.

I was given one bottle of Next Health PMS-Less supplement to support a regular menstrual cycle as well as metabolism of progesterone, a hormone that is important to ovarian function and to reproductive health. The supplement helps relieve PMS-related water retention, cramping, breast tenderness and mood swings. One box of Happy Bars, a no- guilt, mood boosting chocolate snack, will also come with the PMSLess package.

“Up to this point, women have been offered several bandaid options for these complaints. All they really want is a way to alleviate the issue so they can feel like themselves again,” says Next Health’s Vice President of Operations, Wendi Michelle, “I am very excited about the PMS-Less package we are offering at Next Health. Finally, an option that is designed to correct internal imbalances and provide relief naturally and effectively.”
