Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation

How many times a day are you touching up your makeup? Are you working too hard and looking like you are dragging by happy hour? YES you are!  When you are a busy working girl, it can be difficult to get a chance to take a glance in the mirror.  You gotta get stuff done, and can not be spending all day in the looking glass.  Don't worry, HOURGLASS IMMACULATE Liquid Powder Foundation is here to save the day.  Hourglass Immaculate Foundation

This Immaculate foundation will made you look just that: immaculate! It has a revolutionary liquid to powder formulation, specifically designed for young, oily, and active skin types.  As a result, the wearer can enjoy a flawless yet fresh and natural complexion all day long.

I have worn this foundation for the past two weeks and I am very impressed! It truly makes me look matte, but not mask-like. I do not get oily while wearing this makeup.  Since I have been wearing, I have been receiving so many compliments on my skin! It has been years since that has happened! I look like I just have nice, young skin...no greasy or "heavy" appearance, which so frequently occurs with liquid and powdered foundations.

I find that I don't need to touch up my make up half as often as I usually do, and I also don't feel the need for blotting papers!

There is also and accompanying mineral primer: VEIL MINERAL PRIMER Veil Mineral Primer
which contains physical block sunscreen: Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide! This is great for breakout-prone skin: Just say no to chemical sunscreens!

Another plus: the foundation and primer are gluten free and vegan!

Hermes for the Office!!

Hey Ladies!!!

When you need to perk up your boring office suit, what better way to do it than with an Hermes Scarf?? Nothing will work better to change your office appearance from Drab to FAB!!

When you think of Hermes, you think of European glamour, Grace Kelly, and timeless sophistication.  Each Hermes scarf is a true work of art.  Hermes Scarf Silk Twill
They are well worth the investment for the artistic value alone! Get one girls! This is the one classic piece that will take you anywhere and always impress.  I love, love, love my scarf and Hermes cuffs.  The thing that always gets people talking is the vibrant colors, interesting subject matter, and masterful prints.  Each scarf has its own story to tell.  For example, my scarf pictured below reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Roma gypsy culture of Europe.  There are story-tellers, musicians, a gypsy caravan, and even the patron saint of the gypsies, St. Sarah of Kali Saint Sarah of Kali.  So many interesting lessons can be learned from the Hermes Scarf :)

How to be Professional and Chic at the Holiday Party

The office Holiday Party is this week...what are you going to wear?! How are you going to act??

Tip #1: Don't get drunk
Tip #2: If you are a really bad singer, don't do the karaoke
Tip #3: Don't dress in an overly provocative manner
Tip #4: Do dress in a festive outfit
Tip #5: Do wear red lipstick
Tip #6: Do be sociable and friendly towards everyone

There is nothing wrong with looking great at the holiday party.  In fact, it is recommended that you look fantastic, polished, and put-together.  Try not to wear anything too revealing or outrageous, but do not be afraid to get into the holiday spirit with sequins, velvet, and chiffon if the venue warrants.  This is a chance for your co-workers and superiors to see you in a new light.  You want to make a professional impression, but be free to express a little more of your personal individuality and style.  Sparkle and shine.  Have a great time.  Always keep it class and you should be fine!  Happy Holidays!!

Isabel Marant Pour H & M! The Aftermath

Everyone in the fashion world anxiously awaited the launch of Isabel Marant Pour H & M Isabel Marant Pour H & M
When the collection debuted on November 14, all madness ensued.  Fashionistas from London waited in line overnight to get the first dibs on these exciting pieces.  I was not waiting in line! Taking a huge risk, I casually strolled into the H & M at the Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego at about 10:30am.  The Isabel Marant supply had dwindled to a small 400 sq. ft section of the store.  I looked around.  The women were focused, their shopping bags were full, and they were scanning each other for must-haves!! After I had picked up the signature paillette pants, a young woman came up to me: "Are those the size 4?? I really should have bought them while I had the chance...I really wanted those pants." I paused a moment and thought to myself: "She seems really into these...and when will I actually wear them?" Paillette pants don't exactly fit the Lady Lawyer's Lifestyle...not going to be wearing those to the office! So, I decided to give up this coveted item to the young fashionista.  She was super excited....I see it as earning fashion good karma.
Everybody there was really nice.  Women were trading clothes, the H & M employees were helping customers with the sizes...it was so fun! I am glad I got there just in time.  By noon, the inventory was almost gone.  Luckily, I could fit into some of the teen girls and boys clothes...so I got the Isabel Marant funky look without the higher prices.  This designer is amazing. Isabel Marant: Site Officiel   I think that many of her H & M pieces can be integrated into one's lawyering wardrobe.  Here are some pics of my purchases:
