Use A Mask To Uncover Your Beauty

Sounds counterintuitive, right? Well if you try the Sulwahsoo Snowise EX brightening mask, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The last few weeks, my face/skin has looked unremarkable and while much can be attributed to the change of seasons (skin tends to act out when it doesn’t know whether it’s cold or warm outside….), I also needed a boost.

Ready For The Weekend: 70s Style

When I hear/see/think lame and/or pleats, I am instantly transported back to the 70s and my body immediately starts moving because it was the Solid Gold era. I’m preparing to head to Chicago for one of my besties’ birthday and need a look that says fun-loving, flirtatious, mature-but-not-old, style savvy, and dance-floor-here-I-come…..wah lah!

Three Warm-Weather Essentials

Does anyone else sit around and think of various looks for functions or events….that haven’t actually happened or that you haven’t been invited to? Secret revealed – I do! I just thought of four different looks for a casually chic warm weather day including girls day trip to a vineyard and brunch in Vegas (don’t ask…). I found three pieces popping up numerous times and found all three warm-weather essentials that we should all own: a denim tank, not-white shoes and girly dress!

Aquazurra vs Ivanka Trump

A 100% bite that you can take advantage of…! Want a pair of $785 designer sandals for $145? Snag the Ivanka Trump Hettie for under $150 – or you can just stick with the real deal by Aquazurra for $785! Do I even need to tell you that Aquazurra is furious?!

Ready for the Weekend: On the Fringe

I have a quiet penchant for things that sparkle and/or create “movement” and these fringe sandals lie squarely in that tendency! The weather has been lovely all week and April promises lots of reasons to rock sunscreen….perfect time to start rocking sandals! Maybe you can’t tell but they’re navy blue too! Perfection with any white, cream or tan outfit you’ve got planned…. And right now, they’re under $40 – WINNING! And, yes, I’m ready for the weekend!

Ready for the Weekend: Flats & Handbag

It’s the weeeeekend baby! And the perfect time to think about how to amp up your everyday style or, better yet, how to add some flavor into your standard denim look because you know it’s what you’re going to wear. Enter stage left: at first, I wasn’t loving M. Gemi’s Ora flat but the more I looked and played around, the more I started to love it. My favorite feature besides the gorgeous red color!!! is that they’re created using the sacchetto method (the leather is sewn into
