Red Stripe Sequins
OutfitsSo this is my first Bloggers Do It Better post and I am so excited about it! The assignment was sequins and I thought it would be easy… I am always drawn to sparkly and shiny pieces but I didn’t think I actually owned that many. Going through my closet I found sequin tank tops, shirts, skirts, dresses, shoes, clutches and pieces embellished with sequins. I didn’t know what to do! Then I found my red sequin top that I bought from Peacocks in the UK when I studied abroad at one semester when I was in college...
Office Beauty Necessities
BeautyThere are so many beauty product choices out there and it’s hard enough to choose what to have on hand at home, without overwhelming your bathroom and storage space with cosmetics, (my bathroom is as full as it can be!) so when it comes to the office, knowing not only WHAT products to have on hand at all time, but WHICH products is vital. Here are some of the products I keep on hand while I’m at the office:
In the Trenches
OutfitsI think one of the most powerful and put together looks of all time for outerwear is the trench coat. This is why last year when I realized I was severely lacking professional outerwear, I knew I needed to find a trench coat …and on a starting salary I needed an affordable one. I literally felt like I was robbing Target when I walked out with this trendy, almost silk-like one for $19.99. I thought if it only lasted me one season, it would be worth it. Of course like many clothing items I buy (economical or more expensive),...
Happy New Year!
OutfitsHere we are… in 2012! Happy New Year… just wanted to share my dress and a picture of my friends and me from last night 🙂 I was wearing a green strapless dress that I ordered from Lulus and was so excited to wear green! I also wanted a dress that still had some sparkle, so this was perfect! And it ended up working out great because my friends and I somehow planned a black, white and green theme last night 😉 The dress is still available online at Lulus in fuchsia. Have a wonderful first day of the...
A New Day…A New Year…A New Goal
UncategorizedI must say that it is SO true… every year flies by faster as you get older and I never wanted to believe it. But 2011 came and went in the blink of an eye. 2011 was a life changing year for me: new city, new apartment, new friends, new job and a new after-work activity: my blog! Part of me is still thinking “Rachel, why didn’t you just wait until 2012 to officially start your blog?” A new start to a new year would have been a really motivating way to get going. But it is something I’ve...
Class Act
OutfitsI have been dying to get a faux fur collared-cardigan or faux fur vest for my winter wardrobe, but I’m glad I held off because I found something so much better! One weekend I discovered these fur scarves (of course because I love to touch things when I shop, this is also why I get kicked out of museums) shopping at the Albertville outlets just north of Minneapolis and was so excited because of how versatile they are. I bought one in gray/black and tan/brown to ensure it covered all the items in my closet! By lining the collar...
One Sweater Four Ways
OutfitsAlthough it might not be as cold as I’m used to for this time in the Midwest, I still have been running to my sweaters as an easy item to throw on, wear casually or dress up. As you may remember, I posted on light-weight sweaters here, but here are four additional looks I put together for different ways to wear one. The “At the Office” look was inspired by V at Stylishlyme who put together such a chic look with a cable knit and pleated skirt that I so badly wish I was wearing to the office each and every...
