Happy Pre-Friday Dolls! How was everyone’s Valentine’s Day? Jason spoiled me with my favorite gift of shoes (he got shoes too), home cooked meals, and a late-night trip to the movies to see 50 Shades Darker. I was so shocked and appreciative that he actually opted in to seeing a cheesy movie, but we had the absolute best time. Plus I’m all about that white-cherry icee life.
 
Since we started our relationship as long distance, date nights have always been really special to us. Even now, with working such busy schedules it’s nice to put aside time to do something special together. Most days, I’m in a casual dress with low-key makeup and hair going wild with a mind of it’s own. But for date night…I try to turn up the glam and put a little more time into my wardrobe and beauty regime. Enter my not-so-secret hair weapon, the Sapphire Curling Wand from Irresistible Me. I know I posted about this last week (see it here), but I wanted to share the photos of my hair curled to perfection.
 
I will admit, it takes a minute to get used to the wand technique – having been a traditional curling iron girl for so long. But since I’ve gotten the hang of it, the wand has become my hair’s new best friend. It comes with a heat-resistant glove to protect you from burns, which I love. My mom says I’m accident prone, so this is a big plus for me! My favorite thing about the wand is the variety of attachments that help you achieve different types of curls. Not to mention the sleek design, beautiful packaging, travel case, AND the auto-shut-off feature…I’m in love. So I used the wand for a recent date with Jason and had my tresses curled to perfection, which was the perfect accessory to my navy and black Zimmermann jumpsuit and new Iro leather jacket. The curls lasted for days and stayed frizz-free. The best part? My polished hair made me feel super confident and sexy for our special date. And in the end, isn’t confidence the key to any look?

Most of the time in my line of work, I’m not really “client ready.”  My uniform is pretty much ripped jeans, Manolos, and a leather jacket.  So recently, I decided to get a look that I felt was appropriate for big meetings, but still had some of my personality.
 
On a recent trip to Greenwich, CT, Rachel and I stopped into the Rag & Bone and they were having an amazing sale! I picked up these pants, and my new favorite blouse in a window-pane check pattern and luxe silk fabric.
 
It can sometimes pull when put under a heavy jacket (so I have to be careful), but I think it’s both cute and very client appropriate – especially when under a blazer.  The best part? I’ve worn both pieces in more casual ways…the top with my go-to ripped jeans and heels, and the pants with a tight black top and leather jacket.  I think it’s always a great idea to have versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched for many occasions.  These new Rag & Bone items are certainly that for me, plus the sale made them a no-brainer!

Lust List

New Year, New List

January 10, 2017

new-year-new-list
 
It’s a New Year, so time for a new lust list! To be totally honest, it took me a while to come up with a number of lust-worthy items this week. I guess I’m still in bliss after getting goodies over the holidays. But in true me fashion, I found some things I wouldn’t mind having… ok, I’m totally lusting. So here you have it ladies and gentlemen…the first lust list of 2017!
 
1. Chanel Brooch– Let’s start this year of with a bang, shall we? Coming in hot at #1 is this metallic and crystal Chanel brooch. I’m really intrigued by the idea of a brooch…especially in the Fall and Winter months.  I see myself pinning it on layers such as a field jacket, or even on an overcoat (like this one!) I especially love this one from Chanel because it has just the right amount of glitz.  Wear this to instantly accessorize any outfit with a ladylike touch.
 
2. Rag & Bone Arrow Print Sweater– I just think this wool sweater from Rag & Bone is so cool.  With a unique arrow print, it combines my favorite winter-wear colors.  Style this with black jeans and loafers, or metallic boots.
 
3. Gucci Leather Loafer Slides– Speaking of loafers…a comfy pair is always classic. And a pair of Gucci loafers with the horsebit detail, now that’s just chic. A modern take of Gucci’s iconic loafer, I love this slip-on pair in either black or rich brown.  I know that the fur-lined version became very trendy recently, but I think this classic pair will never go out of style.  Slip these on to elevate jeans and a t-shirt, or dress it up with a trendy midi dress.
 
4. Charlotte Tilbury Luminous Modern-Matte Lipstick– The hottest new lipstick on the market.  I love Charlotte Tilbury’s “Matte Revolution” lipsticks.  They come in the most gorgeous, buildable shades and the gold packaging is to die for.  I really want every color!
 
5. Glossier Super Pure Facial Serum– The winter months can be brutal on your skin, so I try to put in some extra TLC when I can.  Glossier (the cool girl’s beauty brand) can help you do just that with their super pack of serums.  Dry skin? Dull skin? Problem skin? The super pack has just the serum for you.  I want to give this a shot because I really like the message, branding, and overall ethos behind the brand.  I can’t wait to give this variety pack of serums a shot!
 
6. ASOS Fishnet Ankle Socks– Last but not least…how cool are the fishnet socks?  Don’t look to these to keep your toes warm, but instead add some cool dimension peaking out from booties, platform sneakers, and you guessed it…loafers!
