Introducing you to my new style series today, “The V Armoire” – a collection of vegan handbags I started collecting since late 2018. I added “The V Armoire” to my fashion categories on this blog and I’m so excited to be sharing all of my vegan bags I collect with you here every/ (or every other) Wednesday. #VeganWednesday A little bit of a story behind the name picking here. I picked “The V Armoire” to go along with my social account name, “The Vibes Closet”. Instead of “Vibes” I only use V which stands for Vegan.
And instead of “Closet”, I use “Armoire”. It sounds very classy to me which I really love. Before we get into what bag I have to share with you today, I have to let you know first that I’m still using non-vegan products. But this is a good start and I’m proud of it. What I like most about vegan bags are the affordable price point. I can buy 10-20 bags for a price of one luxury leather handbag. Seriously I got about 10+ vegan handbags from all the holiday sales last year.
“BTEENIE” CROSSBODY
In today’s post I would like to introduce you to this charming bag, Steve Madden “BTEENIE” crossbody in white. This bag is made with 100% Polyurethane and 100% Polyester lining. Comes in 7 colors; white, black, natural snake, red, taupe, black-white, and pink multi. The price of this bag is $58. A few colors are on sale right now and they are a little bit above $30. I’m linking all of them for you below.
I really love the size of this bag, it is not too big or not too small. The bag dimensions are approximately about 8″H x 8″W x 2.5″D. As you can see from my photos, the luggage tag accent is adding a really fun detail to it. This bag comes with an adjustable strap, (strap drop: 25 inches). I love a zipper closure as well. It has 2 interior pockets: 1 slip and 1 zipper pocket.
Overall, this bag is very cute and functional.
HOW I STYLE THIS BAG
I picked this bag to go with my plum fit and flare dress. Because the bag is white, I’m playing with white accessories like beret, sunglasses and ankle boots to match with the color of the bag. I really love the contrasting color of the dress and my accessories but I want to make this look a lot more of a statement so I added some cool patterns like leopard. With the texture of leopard print tights it makes the look a lot more fun and interesting. You can definitely pull this look together for a Valentine’s day date or a special date night. A round bag shape would pretty much be an appropriate match with any style of cloths.

I’m getting into another brand new clean beauty product last week and they are from a brand called Skylar. Since I got 6 bottles of clean, cruelty-free and vegan perfumes to try, I am so super in love with them.
Skylar is creating a new world of fragrancies by using clean, conscious ingredients to craft beautiful, innovative and hypoallergenic scents for yourself and your home. They promise that you will never find suspicious ingredients like Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Allergens, Animal-derived Ingredients and Synthetic Dyes in their 6-Free Scents.
So in today’s post, I will be talking a little bit about each of the scents I have.
Let’s talk about my first impressions after I smelt each of the perfumes, all I had in my mind was CLEAN! All of these scents are so light, soft and clean. I can just feel that they won’t harm your body.
With the scents being very light, you can layer them together to create your own perfect scent or to match it with your mood of the day. This is one of the fun things I like about these perfumes.
I have to let you know first that I’m still using my normal perfumes but after discovering this brand, I’m going to try to cut back on all of my usual and give Skylar‘s perfume an everyday go-to.
If you are interested in learning more about them or want to get some samples to try yourself, you can stop by their website at skylar.com and can get a 10% discount by using my code “GOOODVIBES10” at check out.
Now I want to give you a quick review on each scent.
What I feel about this scent: For some seasons this scent reminds me of my grandma. It’s bringing the memory of love, affection and warmth to the heart.
What I feel about this scent: This scent is very classy, cool and feminine. If you love to go on a high tea parties, this scent will be a perfect one to put on.
Ingredients:organic sugar cane alcohol, distilled water, tuberose, rose, baie rose, patchouli, cistus flower, parfum (Skylar Body’s own fragrance blend with natural and essential oils).
What I feel about this scent: Very charming scent! It’s perfect for an outdoor party event.
Ingredients: organic sugar cane alcohol, distilled water, galbanum, benzoin tree, cedarwood, parfum (Skylar’s own fragrance blend with natural and essential oils).
I hope this post is giving you some motivation to get to try Skylar‘s perfumes and take your clean and cruelty-free journey to the next level.

Adding 3 new New Cruelty Free & Vegan Skincare products from Go To Skincare to my clean beauty collection so I wanted to share my first impression and what I like about them with you.
Since I started using cruelty free vegan skincare products I am very pleased with how my skin has changed in terms of no breakouts and more even skin tone without applying any harsh chemical ingredients on my skin.
I’ve received these 3 products from Go-To Skincare, complimentary to share my thoughts on Instagram, cleanser, face oil and lip balm. Instead of sharing only on Instagram, I decided to post them here as well to give you a more in-depth opinion on each of the products.
Before we get right into it, if you haven’t already enter to win a $800 Sephora Gift Card, feel free to enter at the end of this post!
Now, let’s talk about Go To Skincare. First off I really love their overall brand look and feel. It’s so fun, fresh and clean. All of their packagings are so cute as well and that was the first reason that attracted me to wanting to try their products.
I’m going to talk about the cleanser first, then face oil and lastly lip balm. If you’re ready, let’s get right into it.
This Properly Clean cleanser is a gentle mousse cleanser. It’s gentle enough for sensitive or blemish-prone skin, nourishing enough for dry skin, and balanced enough for oily skin. It is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without gluten, PEGs, GMOs, mineral oils, petrolatum, and synthetic colors. Good for all skin types.
What I like about this cleanser is that it won’t dry out my skin. I love the lightweight and soft texture of the mousse. The scent is so fresh. I first thought it would have a fruity scent because of it’s package. But the scent reminded me of green juice with a hint of herbs. It’s a good fresh smell. This cleanser rinses of very easily and after using this cleanser, right away my skin feels so soft and hydrated.
Talking about face oils (again!), this Face Hero face oil has to be the 10th one that I tried in the past month. This oil features 10 potent, purposefully selected plant and nut oils, Face Hero boasts a bucket load of essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. It claims to help hydrate, revive, brighten and insure your face against fine lines, dark spots, dryness and aging inflammation.
My first impression of this oil are that it’s very rich and condense. I was hesitant to try at first because I thought that it would stay on my face and won’t absorb into my skin like other face oils I’ve tried. But I was wrong. Even though it’s a very rich and condense oil, it still absorbs well.
What I like about this face oil is that it leaves my skin hydrated all day and night. As I mentioned earlier that it’s super rich and a little slow to absorbing but it dose its job to moisten deep into your skin. To help speed up the absorption process, I recommend using the face roller like this one to help after applying the oil. One last thing I love is that this oil also adds a healthy glow to my skin.
The Lips! A Super Balm lip balm is a lot different than other lip balms on the market. It’s formulated with ultra medical grade lanolin, nourishing apricot kernel, avocado, almond, evening primrose, vitamin E and jojoba oils, as well as beeswax and soothing calendula and shea butter. All the good stuff!
When I first tried it, I felt like I’m putting Vaseline on but with light fruity scents which I really like.
What I like about this lip balm is that it really keeps my lips super hydrated and I don’t need to keep applying the lip balm on several times a day. Well, I sometimes use it twice if I’m eating or talking too much! 🙂 I love using it at night, it lasts all night and leaves my lips soft and hydrated when I wake up. Another thing I like about this lip balm is that I can use it as a gloss over my tint lipstick. It gives a very pretty shine.
