A Closer Look at the Dr.’s Message
UncategorizedSo as a person who is a believer and activist for gender justice, recently I found a post and discussion my boyfriend started on Facebook to be very interesting (both for the marketing and gender justice aspect). The new Dr. Pepper Ten has come out with a very bold marketing campaign for their advertisement with the tagline: It’s not for women. Typically, I would find any statement that singles out a certain gender in this type of a statement (whether male, female, transgendered or gender neutral) questionable or degrading, but I actually find Dr. Pepper’s ad campaign clever, and...
Inspired Style: Tweed Jacket – Whitney Port
OutfitsSo I am really excited to start a new section on my blog that will also be featured under “Outfits” called the Inspiration Board. I gather inspiration from many sources, whether it’s from a magazine spread, advertisement, celebrities, celebrity events, looks on the street or other bloggers, I will make sure to explain what it is I love about the style and how I make it my own through specific outfit details! You can also see more of my fashion inspiration on Pinterest… follow me at Rachel’s Lookbook! Tweed Jacket, Vintage; Bow-tie Blouse, Macy’s; Pleather Leggings, Express; Bracelet,...
Boot Collection
AccessoriesThe subject of boots although exciting, can be overwhelming! I actually just had this conversation with my little sister. She said shortly before Christmas that if nothing else she’s always happy with a great pair of boots (and I couldn’t agree more!) And in further discussion, we realized how hard the decision can actually be because there are so many amazing boots out there. Over the knee, just under the knee, mid-calf, booties, gray, dark gray, black, brown, tan, light brown, colored, suede, leather, studded, buckles, laces, bows, pointy toes, rounded, heeled, flat… the options are endless! The other thing that’s...
Feeling Whole
OutfitsWhat does it mean to feel whole? I couldn’t even begin to describe what it is like to feel whole even if I wanted to, but feeling whole in terms of fashion is simple for me: this outfit captures my sense of style perfectly and is a unique look that I can wear to the office. When I have accomplished looking professional and have completely incorporated my personal style into the outfit, I FEEL WHOLE (and this usually lends itself to confidence and a productive day at work). Also, the title is a play on words for the petal...
Shoes and… more shoes!
ShoppingSo I definitely made a New Year’s resolution to do less online shopping (it is WAY too easy and so much to choose from), but I justified these two new pairs of shoes as an early birthday present to myself! I got these a week and a half ago from Justfab.com, had to check it out after all the commercials and I absolutely love it! They had a lot of shoes/bags, etc. that were selected for me based off my selections on certain shoe/outfit styles. I would definitely recommend at least checking it out, plus I got the first...
Speaking Up
Career“If a man isn’t willing to take some risk for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he’s no good.” -Ezra Pound Back in the spring, I was looking up quotations daily to send to my little sister as a part of being her sponsor for confirmation (my boyfriend was also a huge help for this!) It really was a refreshing way to start each day at work. I now have the luxury (yes in my mind it’s a luxury) to have access to daily quotes posted on our Intranet site.
Oxford Appeal
OutfitsWith this look, I was going for comfy, yet still professional enough to wear to work. It’s a great work outfit because the cardigan is long and keeps me warm, and the skirt is so light-weight it makes sitting at a desk all day more enjoyable. The simple details in this outfit from the big belt to the chain-link watch really bring it together. I also chose to spice up the ensemble with this pair of oxford, open-toed heels with a zipper on the back! They are one of my all time favorite pairs of heels. I loved them so...
In the Nude
FashionNude blouses are a great piece for your wardrobe, and another great year-round piece. (I cannot emphasize versatility enough when it comes to keeping up with trends and being economical). I found a nude-colored blouse at Goodwill back home in Iowa that has been used in so many ways with the rest of my wardrobe. I always find that it’s worth digging through places like Goodwill or vintage stores to find key pieces to add to your wardrobe. I have always had luck finding fun, vintage blouses at Goodwill and finding this one was no exception! At work I...
![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers. If you want to learn more, check out the link in my bio - http://spr.ly/luna-114 - and be sure to watch my most recent YouTube video where I share MORE about my experience over the past few weeks with the @olay #Retinol24 line. #Olay #beautyblogger](https://rachelslookbook.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
