Good Afternoon readers, I’m sorry for the late blog post today, but I’m still recovering from New York Fashion Week. I swear we never stopped for a break in that city nor did we get any sleep! It was crazy but so much fun! I can’t wait to show you photos from the trip. I’m sure you saw a bunch of pictures already if you follow me on Instagram, but just wait until you see the rest.

As for this outfit, I’ve already styled this Iconic white shirt from White House Black Market two other ways. In case you missed the posts, you can view them here–> 5 Key Pieces For An Easy Transition To Fall & The Iconic White Shirt. Like I mentioned in those previous posts, denim and a white top is all you need to get through this transitional phase from summer to fall. However, I realize that sometimes you can get stuck on how to change up your denim and white tee look or how to take it from day to night. That’s why I decided to style this outfit three different ways for you.  Just remember to incorporate your fall shoes, handbags and accessories into your look like this Blue Croc Danielle Nicole backpack.  It’s also always good to throw something fresh in there like these white studded pumps by French Connections which are available in gorgeous new colors for fall. I’ve got my eyes on the navy and grey ones! Once the weather gets a little cooler you can start including different jackets and sweaters into your transitional looks. Until then, it’s also really cute to tie a plaid button down shirt around waist with jeans a simple tee. You can also draping a denim jacket or neutral-colored moto jacket over your shoulders for more of a statement

The Exciting News Behind The Navy Clutch: In case you’re wondering why there are a few pictures of a beautiful navy clutch with Laura Mercier makeup that’s because I am working on an exciting collaboration with the Saks in New Orleans. I can’t spill too many details just yet. All can say is… plan to stop by the Saks at Canal Place in New Orleans on September 27 for a fun shopping event with Haute Off The Rack. You can even recieve one of these textured clutches with a few Laura Mercier makeup samples inside with purchase.  More exciting details to come!

Skincare Preparation Before Applying Makeup

As I stated in the title of the this post, I am all about the face! Taking care of my skin is one of my number one priorities, which is exactly why I chose to try Rodan + Fields when I started to feel like my facial complexion was looking dull. I used to always get compliments on my skin, but as of late those compliments have been pretty hard to come by so I knew I had to do something.

  Usually, I’m skeptical of skincare products that people say “changed their lives,” but I had been hearing so many good things about Rodan + Fields from multiple people that I thought why not give it a try. Fortunately, Rodan + Fields consultant, Christina Donze reached out to see if I was interested in reviewing the product on my blog.  Since I had been wanting to try something new to get my skin back to its old self, I saw this as the perfect opportunity.

Let me start off by saying that this is not a sponsored post for Rodan + Fields, I just wanted to share my personal experience with you in case you’re interested in improving your skin care routine.  With that being said, I honestly saw results within the first two weeks of using the Reverse skin care regimen and it wasn’t long before other people started to notice as well.

I remember the first time someone noticed my skin was after a long day of Red Dress Run in New Orleans. In case you aren’t familiar with Red Dress Run, it’s a celebration outside in the French Quarter during August, which is the hottest time of the year in New Orleans. Anyway, reason I’m telling you that is because at the end of the day after I practically sweat my face off, one of my boyfriend’s friends told me I had a really good skin. When a guy notices that your skin looks good, it means your skin looks GOOD!!! After that night, people began to notice more and more and my face even felt smoother and appeared brighter.  I can’t wait to see the results after three months considering what I’ve seen after only using Rodan + Fields for a month. Make sure to check back in two months for my final review.

Contact christinamdonze@gmail.com for any additional information or if you’re interested in consultation so you can try these amazing products yourself.

P.S. I just want to mention two more products that I use to keep my skin looking fresh. I use my Clarisonic Mia2 Sonic Skin Cleansing Ace Clarifying Collection every other day and I always apply DermAware’s Anti-oxidant Moisturizer (oil-free hydration) after my Reverse skin care routine. I also suggested Philosophy’s Supernatural Tinted Primer with SPF 15 before running out the door without any makeup.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend! I just returned from a much needed weekend getaway at the beach.  I feel so much more refreshed and ready to get back to work! Speaking of getting back to work, what do you think of my new and improved work space? My friend and I made this desk together with two sets of cubicles and a hallow door that we painted light aqua. Then we prettied everything up with some colorful desk accessories. I remember when I was little I would always have a bunch of random Lisa Frank notebooks, folders and highlighters out on my desk and my teachers would always make me put them away. They told me it was distracting me from my school work. I beg to differ though. I think pretty things in your work space can be inspiring!  I was kind of one of those problem students though. I should probably be embarrassed to tell you this, but my desk was always positioned right next to the teacher’s desk or up in the front of the classroom so she could always keep her on me.  Apparently, my excessive talking and highlighting was a distraction to the other students! lol

P.S. In case you’re wondering what the other half of my office/closet looks like…. Just kidding! It was only messy like this because I pulled everything out for a photo shoot. It’s usually much more organized than this!
