Great Find : Marc Jacobs The Face


I came across this brush while doing my usual stroll on Youtube. This is the Marc Jacobs 
"The Face II" brush. I've heard all of his brushes are to die for, but this little baby isn't cheap.  This brush retails for $48.00. 
It is definitely an investment piece that I would highly suggest for those who wear liquid foundation.




The Face II is a sculpting brush, it is long in the back and tapers off in the front. This design allows for the foundation to glide across the skin, leaving an air brush finish. Just go ahead and take the plunge...you can thank me later.

Waterfront Views


I went to a late lunch at a restaurant called "Nick's" I felt like being near the water since the weather was nice, and Nick's gave me that with the outdoor seating.  I went for an easy breezy look for this outing.

Suited: How to dress professional while on a budget 101



As I transition from a college student to working professional, I have found that dressing for corporate America while attempting to stay stylish can be somewhat...tricky. Working in an "conservative" environment does nothing but complicate the matter. Therefore I came up with this rule: 
                  | If it can't be worn both at work and out on the town, it can't be bought... |
Now don't take this to the extreme, I simply mean, at this stage of your life most of your clothes need to play a dual role in your closet. So this outfit is what I wore to work and is a mix-match of things.

Watch | Michael Kors 
Suit jacket | Nine West
Basic Black Tank
B&W Pattern Pant | H&M
Suede Pump | Steve Madden 

Nothing that I have on is super expensive, yet it creates a cohesive look that will work for any work place. You have to find the shapes and styles that compliment you shape and your wallet. While the suit jacket is formal, the tank and pants can be worn over and over again at many different occasions. Figuring out if item ABC can play a dual role in your closet is the hard part. 
Once you get it on, well...
 all you can do is be stylish in a room full of ordinary.

60 Degrees




This past weekend we saw a glimpse of a nice weather. It sealed the deal for me and I'm officially ready for spring to come and be in full effect. This in-between weather that allows for long sleeves and cute booties, which I wore to a brunch date with a girlfriend.
