[ad_1] The last city of my fashion month calendar is Paris! Over the weeks I’ve seen some amazing street style looks that I can’t wait to try myself.

It’s one that I’ve been excited to talk about because if you’re a maximalist like me, this city will be your main source of inspiration.  I will say that the street style here was STUNNING! Utility Stays StrongFirst up – utility.

Take a look at some of the very best acid…

[ad_1] Do parabens release formaldehyde? I get this question a lot and here’s why: You know the whole “parabens are the devil” thing? It’s total nonsense. I’ve debunked it all here. But, there’s one thing I’ve forgotten to touch on. Formaldehyde. Parabens, those little preservatives that keep your cosmetics safe from germs and bacteria, are often accused of releasing this nasty stuff. Is that true or is it just another thing parabens wrongly take the blame for? Here’s what science says about whether parabens release formaldehyde: What Are Parabens?

Consider this your official guide/inspiration on how to shop the maximalist fashion trend this year!Bright ColorsA sky-blue hue has a certain vitality and freshness to it.
