Stella’s Favorite Things – February

by Kate Even on February 28, 2025

February, the month of love and cozy comforts, has arrived! While the winter chill may still be lingering, I’m finding joy in the little things – delicious recipes, snuggling up with my family, and of course, discovering new favorites to share with you all. This month is all about celebrating connection, whether it’s with loved ones or simply with the things that bring us joy. So, let’s dive into my February favorites, a collection of pieces and moments that are making this winter season feel extra special.

MY SKINCARE AND MAKEUP PICKS

One of my favorite skincare products for this time of year is the Sisley Paris Buff and Wash Facial Gel. It’s the perfect exfoliant for winter and leaves your skin soft and radiant. The Sarah Creal Moisture Source Brightening and Hydrating Essence with Hyaluronic Acid is an incredible moisturizer that’s become an essential part of my daily routine for a boost of hydration. When I want a sun-kissed look, I reach for the Dior Forever 24H Skin Contour Stick Sculpting and Bronzing Face Stick in natural finish.

When my hair needs a little lift, the Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer is my go-to for transforming my fine hair into thick locks.

I’ve been absolutely loving the Sisley Paris Phyto-Eye Twist, Phyto-Lip Twist, and Phyto-Lip Balm this month. These little gems are perfect for adding a touch of effortless glamour to any look. The Eye Twist glides on like a dream, delivering rich, long-lasting color, while the Lip Twist and Balm provides a sheer, hydrating tint that’s perfect for everyday wear. And to really elevate my eye makeup, the Sisley Paris Eyeshadow Smudge Brush has become my new best friend.

DRESSING UP

Dressing up this time of year doesn’t have to be boring! Whether you’re dressing for a Valentine’s date, mid-winter getaway, or simply a cozy night in with friends, there are so many ways to add a touch of style. This Camilla Archival Gathered Jersey Dress is a stunning piece that will definitely make a statement. I love the embellishments and pop of color for this time of year. The Ronny Kobo Tay Stretch-Jersey Maxi Dress is a gorgeous piece for Valentine’s Day.

I love the look of an elegant top paired with denim, and the Ronny Kobo Saima Long-Sleeve Top is the perfect example of that effortlessly chic combination. The Miller Leather Dickey Jacket and Veronica Beard Beatrice Cotton Cardigan are fantastic for adding texture and structure, making denim feel more put-together.

These tops pair wonderfully with the Rag & Bone Miramar Cotton Terry Jeans and the Logan Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans, creating effortlessly chic and comfortable looks. I’m eyeing the Matelassé Nappa Leather Shoulder Bag for a touch of understated luxury to complete these looks.
