Black and White

Hi,

I am trying to get into a new routine, being more active and more productive. Not having an office to go to everyday was fun for a while, but I must admit it has been really tough to stay productive, get out of bed early, and not watch TV.

Getting dressed as if I am going to work seems to be helping. Here is what I wore this past Friday.

The top was last seen here and the detachable lace collar was a super easy project I made with the leftovers of some lace.

You can find tops with a similar feel here, or here,or a really colorful one here.

Enjoy!

WIWW - Meeting outfit

Hi,

Yesterday I had a meeting that did not go very well. :-(

It is really frustrating sometimes when things don't seem to be going your way. But I guess it helps to look cute along the way.

I am linking with The Pleated Poppy again today. Go check out some amazing blogs!

Beauty Tuesday - Everyday Tutorial

Hi,

Today I am making an attempt at a make-up tutorial. Please, let me know what you think.

I am starting with my everyday make-up, simple and clean, with just a touch of sparkle.

I prep my skin with: Prosacea , followed by moisturizer , eye cream , primer with sunscreen.

Next I apply foundation and concealer (I use MAC and sometimes Bare Minerals).

Then comes the fun part:

 


Mascara not shown here....

Yes, we have to make a really silly face to apply blush on.

The crazy hair is due to the velcro rollers I have on.

Time Saver Tip: I blow dry my hair after applying the primer, and put on the rollers to give the hair some much needed volume. Then, I put on the make up. This way, the primer has some time to set while you blow dry and the rollers have time to set while the make up is going on. 

Love,

Sam
