Under Construction

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of recreating my blog. Please stay tuned for my new page!

Thanks,
Rachel

Enchanted to meet you

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you... And so is this ensemble I put together! Nothing says ROMANCE like the classics - red lipstick, pearls, neutral nails, sky rocketing heels, a luxurious scent and a movable dress. He will be weak at the knees and singing the hallelujah chorus when he sees you in this one; mission accomplished. And then you can whip out that black lace teddy from Agent Provocateur.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Be mine?

Whether you're celebrating Valentine's Day or Singles Awareness Day this February 14th, you can at least dress the part of a heart breaker. You  might think this look is a little bit casual for "the most romantic day of the year" but personally, I think the day is a little overrated so I prefer to keep things more casual. [No black ties and ballgowns for me!] Of course, depending on where you decide to take your sweetie, dress appropriately. I think both men and women should dress NICE on Valentine's Day - not too done up or festive - but clean, put together and 'pretty'.

Oh, and don't forget the flowers!

Elements

Spring fashion at my fingertips can keep me occupied for hours! Aritzia really needs to implement online ordering - although, on second thought, that could be dangerous for my bank account.

Paula Dorf lipstick in 'Rose Quartz' is such a beautiful neutral lip color. I like to pair it with a smoky eye and extra long lashes.

Two new colors I added to my collection - Glitter in the air [left] has just the right amount of subtle sparkle and Daytripper [right] is that perfect popsicle pink.

Bolthouse Farms Smoothies are made with real fruit giving me much needed vitamins to help jumpstart my day. Fruit smoothie > coffee!

Fashion for charity

These L.A. BANDS received my stamp of approval back in December and since then the lovely creator, Sophia Krevoy, has come out with a plethora of new designs and sizes. Not only does Sophia have an eye for style but she also has a heart of gold; she has created a band for charity! The pink and purple tie die band [shown bottom, right] costs $2.00 with 100% of the proceeds going to The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, California. Please give your support; I can guarantee your luscious locks will be thanking you later.

For orders and pricing, please contact the company directly via email at labands2011@gmail.com.

Drop that hem

There is something about the month of February that makes me want to pull out some of my skirts and dresses from storage; it may have something to do with all the pink and red, glittery hearts you see plastered all over windows and displays. Whatever it is, it's got me feeling a little bit more girly and feminine these days. Lately, I have been fawning over the maxi skirt. These long, flowy hemlines that go on 'for like ever' create a smooth and romantic silhouette emitting an almost angelic-like feel to your outfit.

Lululemon manifesto

I love the Lululemon manifesto. I think it is so inspiring and motivational. When I'm feeling run down or lazy or uninspired I give this a quick read and instantly, I feel more positive and energetic. This manifesto really touches on every aspect of life. Maybe one day I will create my own.
