back to work outfit of the day

(Today is August 6th 2013 so if you EVER see this in the future please comment below with the date)

So anyways I digress...  I was on vacation for 2 weeks and boy those 2 weeks went by fast!  If you look at my other posts below you'll see the few places I stopped by during my time off.

It's summer but it has been a bit chilly lately, so I paired my favorite Zara cat blouse with a cream cardigan and loose fitting shorts.  The shorts look like a skirt so they would be a skort right?  IDK

I found my most comfortable nude wedges from Seychelles and some fun accessories and BOOM i was ready to go back to work... kinda sorta... oof. 

ASOS -i <3 cats! i have two of my own.   I collect everything and anything with cats. Does that officially make me a "cat lady" ? This particular blouse was from Zara.  Its no longer available, however I found a pretty cat blouse on asos.  Click on the blue link.

SEYCHELLES -i find seychelle shoes VERY comfortable.  I have wide feet and all kinds of issues and every pair of sandals or boots I own by them have been a pleasure on my feet heehee.

ALEXANDANI -some of my favorite brecelets are by Alex and Ani. They are affordable AND some of them are sold for charity.
KATE SPADE -by far my favorite designer is Kate Spade. I love everything she comes out with especially her accessories. ie the ring & rose gold watch.

PANDORA -i find i wear my leather pandora bracelets on a daily basis.  They are comfortable and go with everything.

 
 

COACH -I love coach bags they have been on point lately.  Since today i am wearing nudes and creams with a bit of red, i thought this blue would be a great contrast and pop of color.

Laura Mercier Baked Blush Bronze Compact

Baked Blush Bronze Compact; 'Ritual - warm bronze with light pink shimmer' (description from sephora website) 

This is actually a very nice blush.  At first I wasn't too sure this would work as a blush but surprisingly it does!

It can also be used by the temples of your face and to contour.  Don't be afraid of the pink in the baked  blush it is very subtle, not visible at all once applied to the face.

I am a medium skin tone and it gave my checks a nice warm healthy glow.  However I found i had to layer this several times to get the pigment to show on me.  If you are darker skinned you will definitely have to layer. 

I think this would work best OVER a pretty pink or peachy cream blush.

Retails for 36- US dollars

NOTE: If you have sensitive skin this product states it is 'dermatologically and allergy tested to minimize the risk of allergy and irritation.
