    FACE CLEANSING HACKS FOR YOUR INNER LAZY GAL

    Let’s face it, I can spend hours telling you about my 10-step South Korean skincare routine that takes me a total of 20 minutes per day plus all the other 30 cleansers and creams I slather all over my face, neck, décolletage, hands, body, and feet on any other given day to keep it youthful, clear-pored and (somewhat) acne-free. Some of the lengths I’ll go to and money I’ll spend is silly. But I love it, so it’s okay! But what most of you may really want to know is how to keep your skin clean with minimal effort and time spent. I don’t blame you! So let’s discuss because I’ve got several recommendations for you today. And confession – I’ve been so lazy myself lately that I am full-on using these options at least twice per week!

    SUMMER TO FALL MAKEUP ROUTINE

    I get a lot of questions about my makeup routine and the products I love, so I thought I’d empty my makeup bag into one post to show you what look I’ve been rocking at the end of summer that I’ll be taking well into fall. From the summer, I’m keeping a peachy blush and a bronzer. To add in something new for the fall season, I’m mixing in a plum lipstick and darker shadow and eyeliner. Read on for my product list and new additions to my routine, as well as order of application and advice!

    WHAT TO WEAR TO A NETWORKING EVENT

    Living in a new city means I am putting myself out there meeting new people a lot these days. When I recently got invited to a creative networking event, I found myself faced with the question of what the heck am I supposed to wear? Who knows who you might meet at these types of events – a new friend, a creative partner with a cool project you’d like to work on, your next boss? You never know, but I do believe it is so important to put your best foot forward when attending a stranger-filled meeting like a networking event. And the best way to do this? Dress well. In fact, dress better (but not too much better) than everyone else.

    HOW TO WEAR FALL’S FLATTERING SAILOR PANTS

    I’ve come to learn that you shouldn’t get rid of unique pieces of clothing because eventually, they’ll come back around in style and on trend. Take flared sailor pants, for example. They are EVERYWHERE this season. I scored a pair at a clothing swap last year and have been wearing them a lot – to many people’s dismay. “Oh. Are those back in style?,” someone asked me. “Wow, you have a lot of guts to wear something like that,” I’d hear. But check it out! These pants are finally on all the racks, and they look good on most women. Why? Because the front flap flattens a major problem area, and the flared leg helps to balance out our curves. So lucky for all of us, you can buy these pretty much anywhere right now – oh, and I am finally vindicated in my pursuit of the flared sailor pant!!

    OFF-THE-SHOULDER TOP FOR FALL

    Let’s face it, the Off-The-Shoulder trend is here to stay – at least for another season. I’ll admit I was pretty skeptical of it at first and didn’t buy any ‘OTS’ tops. But once it became mainstream and I was forced to look at every woman’s shoulders from here to kingdom come on a daily basis, it creeped into my subconscious aesthetic. And suddenly I had to have one. Then another. And another. And now, I love the look and don’t want it to stop!
