Bold Prints in 2017

I was not planning on being gone this long. November took a lot of unexpected twists and turns, and taking a break to be present felt right. After the election, I took a position with Hampden Clothing as their Marketing Manager. It is a similar role to what I was in before and I knew in order to be successful I needed to give it all of my attention.

Spiced Banana Bread

There was a long period of my life where I would not get anywhere near a banana. In my mind, they were the most offensive food on the planet. As I got older and my palate expanded I slowly added bananas back into my diet. Sure they are great as a snack or sliced on cereal in the yogurt, but they really shine in baked goods.

Bow Blouse

A few weeks ago I talked about ruffle blouses, and now I am bringing you another feminine detail I love, the bow blouse. You can easily replace almost any button-down for a bow blouse. They play nicely with jeans for a more casual look or a skirt for work. I also love when they peek out of a dress or sweater. I prefer them in a crisp cotton so the bow stays sharp throughout the day. See below for 10 of my favorite cotton blow blouses. 

Tie Sleeves

I doubt there is a piece of Tibi clothing that I would not wear. I look forward to seeing their new collection online at fashion week twice a year and constantly stalk the site for new arrivals. When shopping at Tibi I know I can expect classic pieces with unique details like this tie-sleeve dress.

Fall Beauty Favorites

I am a creature of habit. I tend to wear the same beauty products over and over again. Very rarely do I stray from my favorites, but every once in a while it is fun to try something. This is wear I find myself. I parted ways with a few of my beauty favorites this month (Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner, Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, Essie Chinchilly Nailpolish, and First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser) in order to try something new.
