Today's outfit...dedicated to my daughter!!!

This morning my daughter had a really strong feeling about choosing her outfit, so I decided to let her. Wow, I must say she is really stylish already, imagine a 2 1/2 years old choosing this combination....I can't believe it. Oh and she apologizes for the water on her shirt....she just had just finished brushing her teeth!!!!

Beauty routine...

On the beauty products side I keep it really simple, I don't wear a lot of makeup and one of the main reason is that I don't have the time.

Facial cleanser: I alternate between the Clinique: liquid facial soap and the Erno Laszlo: sea mud soap that I order online.
Facial cream: I love Pat Wexler anti-aging cream, you can buy it at Bath & Body Work (they often have great deal on it)
Body cream: I am totally crazy about Philosophy: Amazing Grace, I love the smell, texture and the price.
Daily makeup: Really simple; Sephora foundation and loose powder. For the cheeks, I discover a few months ago Tarte Amazonian Clay (stay for 12 hours) and mascara will always be Dior show (nothing can beat it....)I don't really wear lipstick, I like my lips bare, so I just Fresh Sugar lip treatment and the lemon smell is great.

Et voila, I am ready for another glorious day!!!

Today's outfit....

Rocking my rain boots today. With a little black dress that I bought from Ann Taylor last year... Good call on the rain boots, I love them and I think they are really stylish, don't you think? My bracelet is from H&M, 2 years ago, I think it was under 15$, what a bargain.

Today's outfit...

Red shoes it is today...I love those shoes but they are not really comfortable! This little black dress is very versatile, I wear it at the office and during the weekend with flats. The best thing about this dress is that I paid only 35$ for it at H& M.
On another subject, I just ordered new black pumps from Calvin Klein...and guess what? Everything is 40% off, hurry while it last.

Rainy weekend!!! Most wanted accessory...

Since it's suppose to rain the whole weekend in NYC.....better make the most of it....what about some cute rain boots. For me Tretorn boots, less expensive than Hunter boots (about half the price) but still really cute....And for my daughter, I couldn't resist the Crocs boots in pink...just adorable!!!

Book of the week!!! Spiritual reading....

The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life

by Deepak Chopra

Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside. Because answers to the questions at the center of life are counterintuitive, they are often hidden from view, sequestered from our everyday gaze.The Book of Secrets is rich with insights, a priceless treasure that can transport us beyond change to transformation, and from there to a sacred place where we can savor...

Today's outfit...

I just realized that on my last today's outfit, I'm wearing the same blouse but in a different color....I love my animal print belt!!! Animal prints are fun to wear, but careful it's easy to make a fashion "faux pas"!!!

Today's outfit....

Today's outfit is my silk blouse that you all seen before, I must confess that I have this blouse also in black. I love the safari look of it and it's very versatile, I can wear it with jeans during the weekend or at the office. Did you notice that I'm wearing pants today....I'm more a skirts/dresses person, I guess the "girly girl" in me!!!

Book of the week....

Today's outfit...

It is the busiest time of the year at the office, I have barely the time to go to the bathroom...So, it will probably reflect on my posts for the weeks to come. I will try my best to write as much as possible, I have a lot of subjects in mind. Anyway, I hope you will like today's outfit!!!

Silly face....

My photo for today's outfit is quite silly, but after reflection I decided not to take another shot. What makes it even more silly (beside my expression) is the fact that I was dress for winter today, only because yesterday I was freezing cold...turns out today was not so cold. I was sweating like a pig in the train.... Anyway here's the outfit of the day....let's call it a sneak peek of the fall's outfits!!!

Busy, busy....

I had a really busy day in the office today, lots of changes!!! Usually I'm really organized but...today, I was a mess... Sorry for the delay for today's outfit, but I really wanted to post it, because you will see that dress on me several times, with different combinations...shoes, boots, thights, jacket, etc...

I'm back....

I took a few days off from work (actually only 2 days - Monday was labor day). I was most of the time at the playground with my daughter...not really fashionable....playing in the sandbox, water sprinklers!!! Today I'm back in the office...
