I have confessed this before, but I have an addiction to buying floral print. I don’t know if it was growing up in a house with several floral couches that did it or the fact that my grandmother loved to garden, but either way…I love me some floral print on just about anything.
This floral blazer stood out to me for several reasons; it can be dressed up for work, it can be thrown over a cute black dress, it has gathered sleeves (which I love), and it is much more tailored than your usual blazer. This print also came in white instead of black, which probably looked a lot more season appropriate, but I loved this black version.
I’ve been on the hunt for a pretty black clutch for a while now, and after discovering Lipault luggage and handbags a few weeks ago, I found this beauty. The shiny vinyl made this one stand out; I can use this for a dressed up outfit like the one I’m wearing here, or I can wear it with my cocktail/evening dresses. It’s roomy enough to hold my cosmetic bag, iPhone, keys, a small mirror, and any small incidentals. It also comes with a strap in case I am traveling or want a more casual look as a crossbody or shoulder bag. This clutch is one of the more generously sized that I could find, because I hate having to pick and choose what to bring in a formal purse. Lipault obviously knows women like to be able to fit all the essentials in a clutch, so they designed this one for people like me who want to bring everything plus the kitchen sink!
And let’s talk makeup removal. Have you ever been in the middle of a loooong day and needed to remove your makeup to reapply? This solves that problem. I struggle with finding things that can scrub off (gently) all the heavy on-camera makeup I wear in just a few swipes, and I’ve finally gotten my hands on something that works. I’ve had great success with Garnier hair products, so it made sense to give their SkinActive line a try. The Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes and Micellar Cleansing Water are now my travel and crazy busy day companions. They can remove my toughest long-wear makeup without having to rinse! I love these products because the do exactly what they say they do. And at a price that doesn’t break the bank, too. 🙂
Things have been crazy this week, so I hope to be back with double the posts for next week. Have a great Thursday!
