I always have at minimum 3-4 different drinks with me as I work so I love fun glassware to enjoy my beloved beverages. I ordered these from Amazon and they come with straws too! 2.

Striped sweater | Black jeans | Ballet flats | Braided bag | Sunglasses As a die hard heels lover, I'm surprised at my current intense love for ballet flats. But here we are. Maybe it is after all those years of wearing super high heels that I feel my feet have earned a rest. LOL Either way, I am thrilled that ballet flats are trending heavily at the moment. There are so many chic options available and a style to fit everyone's taste and budget. I personally like them worn with jeans or trousers when I don't to wear heels.
Summer is almost here and while it may be easier to get dressed in the warmer months because you don't have to put on as many layers of clothing, dressing for the office is not an easy feat. It's a million degrees outside but -5 inside and you can get whiplash just going back and forth between the two every single day. That being said, I did work in an office for many years at the start of my blogging career and before so I am familiar with dressing for a business casual environment. Obviously every industry and office is
Tee | Jeans | Belt | Sneakers | Bag | Sunglasses Friday Finds 5.10 1. I ordered a loose leaf tee that is supposed to help hormone balance (stay tuned), but I had nothing to use to steep the loose tea. So I found this adorable and slightly ridiculous loose leaf tea steeper and I absolutely love it. LOL 2. I love all things Varley and just ordered this half zip sleeveless pullover for the summer. I am not normally a light blue gal but I'm really feeling it this time. 3. Crochet pieces are trending right now and this
Sunscreen used to be my least favorite skincare product to put on my face each day. The formulas were often greasy, uncomfortable and did not wear well under makeup. I would wear it because I'm super fair and know the importance of wearing sunscreen every single day but I did NOT like it. Fast forward to today and sunscreen formulas have improved 100%. More often than not they feel like a regular moisturizer or serum and not like a traditional sunscreen. I have quite a few that I rotate between and love wearing because they are comfortable, make my skin
Tank | Linen pants | Sandals (similar) | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses The heat and humidity has officially arrived and summer is now here. Summer is an easy season to dress for when it comes to casual looks, but office dressing can always be tricky. Back in my corporate days, I would walk to work in NYC and completely melt from the warm weather before I reached the office and then immediately freeze when I walked inside. It's like dressing for two totally different seasons when it comes to office looks in the summer. Creating chic office style looks when
All the Books I Read Recently 1. The Seven Year Slip Both my mom and I read this book and our reaction was a simple "meh". It was interesting enough to finish but the premise was sort of confusing and at times hard to follow. Clementine is a book publicist living in NYC and everything is going well in her life except when it comes to love. Clementine's aunt has recently passed away and left her NYC apartment to Clementine. This seems fortuitous until she arrives at the apartment and finds a random man staying there. His name is Iwan
I've been trying out more cool toned makeup recently and was curious about the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals because it's mostly shades that skew more cool than warm. Makeup by Mario is a brand founded by celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic and offers a wide range of products that have a makeup artist quality to them but are still suitable for everyday. I have tried a handful of products from Makeup by Mario and so far have enjoyed everything I’ve tried. However, this palette was a bit of a disappointment for me and I'll explain
I am a strict sunscreen wearer 365 days a year but it's absolutely vital for me in spring and summer. Even though I wear sunscreen every single day and have for most of my adult life, it doesn't mean I have always enjoyed it. In fact, sunscreen formulations for many years were awful. Especially for the face. They were greasy, heavy, would disrupt my makeup and overall felt icky on my skin. Fast forward to today where there are literally thousands of sunscreen options and so many of them feel nothing like a sunscreen. They feel, act and perform like
Tank | Pants | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses Friday Finds 5.3 1. I love the Spanx Air Essentials line and have quite a few pieces from it. This new skirt/skort option for summer is soooo good! 2. Most of the handbags I carry are from Melie Bianco and the quality is amazing. Her new arrivals are beautiful and are all at great price points. 3. The lady jacket/cardigan trend is one of my favorites at the moment and I just ordered this red/white striped cardigan and can't wait to wear it all summer. 4. A bit of a splurge
