I just chopped my hair off & I love it. It’s still long but for me, it’s VERY
short. I was craving a change & had
been pondering the LOB long before it became super trendy. I like it polished and chic similar to Olivia
Palermo (below) but I also love it, messy & tousled with a deep side part (also below). I’m loving a smudgy messy smoky eye with a bit of gloss lately. My trick is a swipe of Vaseline on the brow bones and to tame the eyebrow.

Oh just a Coupla things
Nothing beats a shiny,
instantly dry, 2 week long wearing gel manicure – unless you’re me & you’re
incessantly washing your hands or washing a baby than those 2 weeks are more
like 9 days. Ugh. I like to let my nails breathe every so often anyway
and take a gel break and I’ll tell you what… nothing beats the pretty, classic,
minimalism & natural finish of manicured nails painted with a coat or two
of Essie’s ballet slippers, Mademoiselle, or Sugar Daddy. Easy Breezy & you’re not stuck in a nail
spa for a solid hour. Boom. It’s my new
thing. I go once a week – it lasts 5
days, if I only do one coat of color.
A few weeks ago I went to
an Armani event at Nordstrom, I bought & love one of their new-to-me
foundations and equally loved my entire makeup application. I’m so bad and self-conscious about selfies
that I could only bring myself to give you a sneak peek – not full face. Next week I’ll post the items we used to
create my lovely look.
Happy Valentine’s Day,
lovers! The ring in the photo was my
Valentine’s Day gift last year from my hubby.
Not holding my breath for a repeat… LOL
Love him just the same. XO

My Two Favs by Tom
Tom Ford Illuminating Powder & Tobacco Vanille Eau De Parfum
I’ve been using Ford’s
pressed finishing powder forever – I recently switched to the illuminating
version and I’m obsessed. This is
actually the one product that I can’t live without. It instantly finishes your look leaving you
polished and perfect but, it is also ideal for refreshing your look, like
after hours of sitting behind your desk when you just want to freshen or revive
your skin. It makes everything sort of
perfect. The illuminating version gives
you this faint lit-from-within glow that’s ethereal and gorgeous. It’s totally weightless and glides onto the
skin like fluid silk erasing and blurring imperfections in its path.
This perfume is just
killer. It stays on my skin better than any other fragrance I’ve tried to date.
This is a spicy fragrance but vanilla and musk warm it up. Truly delicious and almost so fabulous it’s indescribable. They both make me so happy.

Primer Power
Finally! I’m so grateful
to my friends at Woo for introducing me to this wonderful new primer packed
with killer anti-aging benefits. The
texture is pillowy soft and it literally melts into your skin. It has a light tint and I loved wearing it
this weekend with just a touch of concealer and a sheer pressed powder on
top. It’s amazing under your foundation
as well. I actually went to the park and
straight into dinner out without having to wash my face & reapply – serious
staying power!! I’m thrilled with how
lovely it looks today under my harsh office lighting too.
The tint neutralizes
uneven skin tone, peptides improve firmness, while white tea polyphenols protect against collagen loss and
damage. On top of all this – SPF 30
keeps your skin safe from harmful effects of the sun.
