Southern Shopping Comforts
ShoppingShopping is by far one of my favorite things to do when I travel! Exploring new shops and finding some unique places to go makes it all worthwhile. I love being able to find new pieces from small boutiques or stores and add them to my collection. Although I didn’t have as much of a chance to explore around Chapel Hill or even make it to Durham or Raleigh while I was there to find some shops, I did make it to a few stores and found some great buys! If you are ever in the Raleigh or Chapel...
Pumped Up Kicks
Fashion•OutfitsI don’t always get the opportunity to wear whatever I want because there are certain limitations in my office environment. Even on casual Fridays, I probably couldn’t get away with wearing these gold high tops, but I’m absolutely in love with them! In fact, I have been looking for a pair just like this for over two years, ordered them a year ago and finally wore them for the first time end of October. Now that they are broken in, they are so comfortable, and I wore this outfit while running errands with my sister in the Raleigh,...
Travel is the Best: The Year of the Carolinas
Travel•U.S.Traveling to me is not only a pleasure, but almost a necessity… learning more about yourself by experiencing new climates, cultures and people has always made me feel so invigorated. That’s why when I don’t have my next trip planned out, I try to figure out where I am going next (and how I can afford to or have the time off to do so). Whether its 10 hours away or a half hour away, there’s nothing better than discovering a new place, and making it your own… just like a new fashion trend! So here is my first...
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...
![[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)
