What I Wore: DC

I’m baaaack! I had a fantastic time on our little vacation to visit our friend, Chris, in Richmond, which was the most adorable little city ever. I loved its vibe, and even more so loved the fact that so many restaurants were celiac friendly. I was in shock! It was a pleasant surprise. Over the weekend, we did a very quick overnight trip to DC, hoping to see some beautiful cherry blossoms and were a bit disappointed. They had not bloomed yet! However, we had the most wonderful time exploring the city instead! Everything works out in the end, huh?

With that said, I braved the elements (it was freeeeezing) to take these outfit post pictures sans coat/scarf. That’s how dedicated I am. 😉

& I’m Off!

I’m leaving on a jet plane today to visit one of our bestest friends who moved to Richmond, VA nearly one year ago! We miss him a whole lot and can’t wait to spend time with him in his new city AND visit Washington D.C. just in time for the Cherry Blossom Festival! If you follow me on Instagram, look out for all the pretty pictures that will surely flood my stream.

Until then,

Squeeworthy: Clinique’s Moisture Surge CC Cream

I can’t get enough of Clinique’s new moisture surge CC cream. It’s an instant complexion perfector designed to enhance skin’s natural radiance while leaving it hydrated and protected with SPF 30. I’ve been using it for the past week and it is my new favorite beauty product. Why? Well, my job requires me to drive all around the city of Miami working with children. That means a full face of makeup is just not practical, but at the same time, I want to look presentable. The CC cream helps neutralize my blotchy redness and leaves it more radiant and dewy (without looking greasy).  Plus, it keeps my ridiculously fair skin not only protected, but also healthy due to its antioxidants, such as Vitamin E.

But a picture is worth a thousand words, right? I decided to be fearless and post a picture of myself with a completely bare face right after a shower to illustrate how great the improvement was when I used CC cream;

Amazing, right? If you are as impressed as I am, mark your calendars ladies! This new product launches next month in April.

Melificent disclosure: Company provided me with the product in return for review above. However, all opinions are my own.

Lauren Shane for Vaunte

Vaunte is a great site where you can shop celebrity, stylists and celebrity stylists’ closets for a fraction of the original price. They just recently started a particularly amazing sale featuring Lauren Shane, a celebrity stylist and style blogger. Lauren started out as a PR assistant turned stylist at Diane Von Furstenberg, followed by a stint at E! as Giuliana Rancic’s wardrobe stylist. Yep, those are some chops.

And this is some closet. Which items would I snatch up?
