I have been shopping at Banana Republic for as long as I can remember. This is one store that seems to always have what I need whether it be an amazing staple piece or the latest trend of the season.

Quarantine is over thank goodness but my hair is a constant reminder of how long it’s been since I’ve had my roots touched up! If you are a blonde with a dark root or any woman with grey, you know what I’m talking about…! This was hands down the longest I have ever gone without getting my hair done. I kind of just embraced my natural hair color and ran with it but had a LOT of help from my trusty Temporary Root Powder from Clairol.
It’s time to refresh you bras, undies and jammies! All of these items are on sale this weekend at Soma!!! The Embraceable, Enbliss, Nursing, Sensuous, Bralettes, Vanishing 360 and Vanishing Back bras are ALL on sale.
Are you tired of your sweats? Ready to put away your summer shorts but not ready to put back on your pre-quarantine jeans yet? Ha, I am with you! Welcome the new and improved super chic slouchy jean! Baggy and slouchy in the middle but still tailored in the right places holding you in where you need to be held. Pair that jean with a sleek slide and a sleeveless sweater and you are ready to go. Fall here we come!
Since I have been away from the city for so long, I think the country girl in me is coming out! I rediscovered cowboy boots and forgot how comfortable they are LOL! If I start wearing a cowboy hat, they you might need to start worrying haha!

It’s Makeup Monday! I am always looking for something new and fun to spruce up the old faithfuls in my makeup bag. My friends at Cover Girl sent over some new goodies for Fall and I was so excited to try them! They sent me so many fab products but the Liquid Lid paint is my absolute favorite; colorful little tubes of water proof, crease proof, fade proof liquid eye shadow.
Since we are all wearing masks, it’s all about the eye makeup! Out with the bold lip (or any lip for that matter) and in with the bold eye.
Here are 4 of my favorite eye palettes, one for each mood: the subtle eye. the smokey eye, the sultry eye, and of course, the bold eye!
Warming up the cold should this week with my favorite one shoulder looks. Are you zooming all day with business on top and whatever on the bottom? These off the shoulder tops are the easiest way to jazz up any casual outfit and look both put together and sophisticated. It’s a fab look that doesn’t require much effort! No steaming or ironing required, just easy to wear! Here are some of my favorite tops and casual dresses:
