How to Guide: Professional Attire
Professional clothing is a difficult task to tackle for women. For a man, it’s pretty simple–you wear a suit. But for a woman, it is not that easy. It is difficult to find items that look both attractive and stylish, while being affordable and appropriate. I have seen some pretty bad things in my days working in an office. Whether it be saggy slacks, running shoes, or a frumpy suit, I’ve seen it all. I’ve even seen the occasional Guess boustier on “casual” Friday.
Here are some tips that will help you to create a closet to fit the working woman:
First, find slacks that fit you. Slacks should be straight, not tapered. Please avoid pleats at all costs. Your slacks should fit you at the waist, and should not go above your waist line (unless you’re goi [...] Continue reading →
The Perfect Structured Tote
My current favorite “It Bag” is the Celine Luggage Mini traveler bag.
Celine Luggage Mini traveler bag
It’s been spotted on a bunch of fashion-forward types like Mary Kate Olsen. I love that it looks chic and minimal and ready to get to work. It also looks like the one bag that could keep all of my makeup, an iPad, a phone, and maybe even a spare pair of underwear in it, while still maintaining its shape. I also love that it is devoid of typical luxury attachments (logos, heavy hardware) and instead is about the structure of the bag and its shape.
One could splurge on the Luggage Mini for its four digit price tag, but since I love to hunt for the right price, I am looking at other accessories with a minimal spirit, large size, and structural wings.
I found these alternatives:

Pucker Up! Lip Stick Tips and Myths
Over the past few years, one thing in the cosmetics world has become strikingly obvious – lipstick is back. Not only is it back, but classic bold shades like fire engine red, exotic coral and hot pink are flying off the shelves faster than stores can stock them. From high end makeup counters to super affordable drug store brands, there are plenty of options for every style and budget. However, there also seems to be quite a bit of ill-informed advising on the subject of lip wear, so we decided to do a little research and set the record straight.
Myth: Redheads shouldn’t wear red.
This couldn’t be further from the truth – just look at “Mad Men” leading vixen Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks). Plenty of ginger-haired beauties are sporting red lipstick from the small sc [...] Continue reading →
Drug Store Review- Nutra Nail
I’m a drug store junkie. I go in to grab a Tide pen and I come out with a plethora of things that I don’t need. Most stay unopened and unused but in that moment I “needed” it. So we’re adding- “Drug Store Reviews”. Simple, easy reviews of all the things we “need” at the Drugstore.
Item: Nutra Nail Gel Pefect UV-Free Gel-Color
What it does: Uses a fast 2 step process to give you a “gel” polish. With claims to give you a polished look that lasts longer than traditional polish.

2. Open/unscrew all your bottles, but leave the brushes in them.

Positive Connection
What separates us from computers and adding machines and encyclopedias is that we are uniquely equipped with brains that not only take in data, receive stimuli, perceive input, but also are hardwired in our very circuitry to make meaning of those incoming bits of information. We add value, weight and importance, we compare and contrast with previous experience, we DECIDE what it all means.
It is probably our biggest burden and most wondrous bounty. It is not the event or situation that occurs that moves us to emotion or action; it is what we think it means to us.
Your child is at a developmental stage where they are still “raw” in their perceptions. Limited in experience, they often look to you to give meaning to daily occurrences. They aren’t even close to understanding that the sha [...] Continue reading →
Lotus Premium Denim
I am by no means a stranger to denim. From the different dyes, styles, and unique elements that make up each jean, no two pairs are alike. With a petite frame, I often have to alter my jeans to my height, leaving me spending hundreds on alterations I wish I did not have to. Especially with originally very long denim, the jeans never look quite the way they were intended to. I wanted just one brand I could rely on for jeans that were fashioned and tailored specifically for my body. This is how I came to discover my new favorite denim brand–Lotus Premium Denim. By offering denim that measures both inseams, your waist and your height, you are guaranteed to have a perfect fit every time. These jeans are comfortable, slimming, and flatter your body, without any alterations needed. We were [...] Continue reading →
Hunger Games Crushes the Competition
Imagine a future with no hope for upward growth, a future with completely segregated cities, dominated by a capital that maintains all of the privilege and wealth. Now you’re picturing Panem, the fictitious country created by Suzanne Collins that houses the infamous Hunger Games.
The prosperous and wealth-hoarding capital holds the Hunger Games annually as a gruesome reminder of the revolt that took place long ago by the outlying districts. They were trying to fight for equality and resources. After a devastating war, the capital showcases their victory and uses the Hunger Games as a reminder that all uprisings will only be met with destruction and death for the poorer, less fortunate districts that inhabit Panem.
The Hunger Games are a grueling affair, with each of the 12 districts of P [...] Continue reading →
