Naked On The Run Palette c/o Urban Decay | Infinity Scarf c/o Ann Taylor | ipad Case c/o Graphic Image | Metro Backpack & Chelsea Weekender c/o MZ Wallace (available at Emma’s Shoes in Mandeville & Metairie, LA (504) 407-0668)

Good Evening readers, Thanksgiving is just a few short days away so I put together some of my favorite new travel pieces by MZ Wallace for everyone heading out of town for the holidays.  The weightless Metro Backpack by MZ Wallace is obviously super convenient for traveling, but it’s also great for everyday use too instead of carrying around a tote.  There’s nothing wrong with using a tote, but sometimes it’s so nice to have your hands free while you’re out and about. You can check it out for yourself locally in Louisiana at Emma’s Shoes in Mandeville or Metairie or at your local Nordstrom.

Also, if you’re anything like me you’re going to love packing along the Naked On The Run travel kit by Urban Decay for finishing your makeup in the car (not while driving) or touching up while your out. It has everything you need for that ultimate Naked look: “six ALL-NEW shades of Eyeshadow (including an extra large dose of the perfect all-over shade, 5050). Bronzer. Blush. It even comes with a full-size Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss and a travel-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (both new shades), plus a travel-size Perversion Mascara.”  

If you ask anyone who knows me well enough, they’ll tell you I’m never ever ready on time so I always have to pack all of my makeup to finish in the car while someone else drives or once I get to where I’m going! I think that maybe my boyfriend and friends secretly had the Naked On The Run Palette created just for me so that they don’t have to wait on me while I pack all of my stuff to finish getting ready in the car! Just Kidding, but it really is perfect for all of us “always running behind” people.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I want to talk about how to wear cropped sweaters.  There are a few ways to wear them in the winter. You can wear a cropped sweater with a high waisted skirt or pants with a little hint of skin showing or you can wear a slightly longer cropped top that doesn’t show any skin at all like this one (here).  However, my favorite way to wear a cropped sweater lately is layered over a long button down shirt.  Remember when I wore a dark grey cropped sweater just like this with a white oversized shirt here–> The Debut of the Jenn Bucket Bag

To avoid looking bulky or boxy up top when layering, you need to try on a few different sizes and styles of cropped sweaters to see which style works best for you. Some of you may look great in a snug tight sweater while others rock a more loose fitting style. It really all depends on your shape and preference. Since I have a short torso I went with a size petite small for a more cropped fitted look. The regular small was too long on me and hit at an awkward spot on my stomach, which made me look boxy.  Try a few out and let me know what you think! I highly recommend trying the style shown in today’s post. As you can see below, I liked it so much that I bought it in two colors!

Keep your eye out next week to see how to wear a cropped sweater with high waisted skirts!
