Beauty Buzz: Somebody Call 911

By |August 20th, 2013|Beauty Buzz|

We’re busy women.  We somehow balance careers, friendships, love lives, and sometimes even children.  How is it even possible that we manage to keep it together while still looking fresh as a girl from the Midwest two weeks into living in the city?  Well, it takes tact.  As any savvy woman can tell you, nothing is an accident  You got a last minute invite for after work cocktails, you squeezed in a Pilates class during lunch break, or perhaps you’d rather your “walk of shame” more resemble a “stride of pride,” which I wouldn’t know a thing about… Whatever your beauty emergency may be, you need to be prepared.  I was never a Girl Scout, but I do believe it is best to be ready for just about anything.

Remember when I said the Sephora sample section was the Bermuda Triangle of beauty?  Well, in this instance, it’s best to gather supplies and pack your purse full of a few crunch time essentials that will always having you looking polished, not foolish.

1. BDG Perfect Zip Pouch, 2. Philosophy Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleansing Cloths, 3. Bop Basics Solid Vintage Hair Ties, 4. Benefit They’re Real Mini Mascara, 5. Gucci Guilty Eau de Toilette Spray, 6. Ray-Ban Foldable Aviator Sunglasses, 7. Benefit Cosmetics Pocket Pal, 8. Colgate Wisp Peppermint Mini Toothbrushes

 

Happy shacking.

Why Did You Wear That: Bus Stop Blues

By |March 13th, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

denim shirtWe’ve all been there.  You know, enjoying the nightlife  a little too much and having to face the consequences when the sun rises.  In college we called them “shackers.”  There’s nothing worse than having to evacuate the scene of the crime in last night’s LBD, stilettos, and authentic bed head.  The walk of shame doesn’t have to be so shameful though.  Keeping a pair of sunglasses in your bag and using a little imagination can keep you from looking like Pretty Woman when the morning comes.  Borrowing a simple button down shirt and belt can create a super chic shirtdress in no time flat and no one will be the wiser.  (Own that big hair though, girl).
