For all my professional ladies out there, finding things to wear for the office or classroom can be a challenge, right? You want to look cute and current, but you don’t want to come across as “too young” or too sexy. A few years ago I produced a video about designer Ming Wang and her collection of gorgeous knits, and I fell in love with how perfect they are for work! These are timeless statement pieces that look flattering on women of all body types.
Get this- the entire collection is wrinkle-free, machine washable, fade-resistant, and travel friendly! I chose this lemon yellow blouse and black vest because I can wear them with so many different things at work, and they are light-weight for summer. (Check out Ming Wang’s blog for cute ways to put their pieces together.)
The day we shot this look, I experienced the bliss that is Lafco in Highland Park Village. If you live in Dallas, you’ve probably passed by or stopped in Lafco because the scent from their doorway is heavenly! I am obsessed with home fragrance (I always have a candle burning,) but this was my first time checking out the Lafco boutique. LAFCO New York devotes more than half of its 600 square feet to the fragrances, bath and body products, and herbal teas of the ancient Florentine apothecary; Santa Maria Novella, founded by Dominican friars in 1612. The products are as beautiful as they are luxurious: the ingredients are pure and natural, the scents are light and fresh, and the containers are artisan-created. Now, Lafco has Body Soap, Body Cream, Repearative Hand Cream, and Bar Soap collections, and they smell just as delicious as the candles and diffusers. Made of pure botanical extracts and free of synthetics, they aren’t greasy.
After asking a million questions of Manager Ashley Merritt, I went home with Moonglow Apricot. It has hints of apricot without being overpowering…the perfect summer scent for warm nights out on the town. Check out all the yummy options here, or head to Lafco in Highland Park Village in Dallas.
