We're back at it with the ruffle sleeve! This week I decided to share how this trend can be pulled off in the work place. A crisp cotton or linen in a solid color is a good way to go. Also darting and structure will give it a more professional look while still adding in the flair (literally) at the sleeve! Check out what I paired it with here...      Shop my look here: -Light pink ruffle top -White, wide-leg trouser -Nude heals -White fringe bag - ON SALE! -Statement necklace -Earrings -Sunnies Don't be afraid to add a little fun and pop of color to your everyday work attire! Thanks for reading! Cheers y'all!! XX-Molly

February is basically the best excuse EVER to wear all of your pink (& red too)!        Happy shopping!!! Thanks for reading! XX - Molly  I have had several requests for a post on how to tie and wear a blanket scarf, so here you have it! They are great accessories and are really warm, but they can be very tricky to maneuver. Below I have listed four different tutorials on how you can wear these: Option 1 - The Blanket Cape Open the scarf completely, drape it around your shoulders and arms leaving the front open. Adjust as necessary to make it even on both sides.
 Option 2 - The Classic This is probably the most popular way to tie a blanket scarf. Fold the square diagonally so that two corners match up forming a triangle. Gather the ends and put the center of the scarf in the middle of your body; then criss cross the ends behind your neck and pull them around to the front. Tuck each end of the scarf under to create the drapey look.
Options 3 - The Drape Keep the scarf folded in the triangle shape; pull it around your shoulders draping one side across your body over the opposite shoulder. This creates an asymetrical look while still keeping your arms and shoulders warm.
 Option 4 - The Infinity This way makes the scarf look and function like an infinity scarf. Take the scarf folded on an angle and scrunch it up. Place the center around the back of your neck. Wrap each side around and tuck into the back. Tuck in any additional corners hanging out and adjust as necessary to create the circular form.

Ellen Tracy Coat Rachel Zoe Zipper Pump Kate Spade Bag - Similar & ON SALE! Burberry Classic Scarf Cheers y'all! Thanks for reading! XX-Molly  It's no secret that I love a good beauty product! What I like even more is a good priced beauty product that does the trick just as well as those swanky ones that take all of my money. So, today I am sharing my favorite bargain beauty buys! #1 - Hawaiian Tropic's Silk Hydration This is typically used for sun burn or after sun exposure, but it's also excellent to use after shaving your legs! The aloe is cool and calming while the lotion hydrates--it's the best of both worlds in one bottle! Try it, I swear by it. You'll love it!!  #2 - Batiste Dry Shampoo Dry shampoo is a staple around my house! It provides the perfect amount of texture and product to my hair for curling. I have tried my fair share of brands, and I have found this one to be the best! They have tons of options as far as scent goes, and they also offer different colors to coordinate with your hair color. (I use the blonde when my roots get really bad; it provides a light dusting of color to help hide the damage.)  #3 - The Conair Infinity X-Pro 1.5" Curling Iron I am often asked about what kind of hair styling tools I use. While I splurged on my DryBar Buttercup hair dryer, I decided to be a little more frugal with the curling iron to start out with while I tested out the style. The style stuck and so did the curling iron (not literally though)! I do love it!! It does the trick just as well as any professional tool. It gets very hot very quickly, but doesn't dry out my hair in the process.  #4 - Loreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara This product is simply F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! It gives just the right amount of volume and length, and I love that it's waterproof. It comes off very easily with a little face soap and warm water. #5 - Pixi Make-Up Fixing Mist This rose-water- based make-up fixing mist really works! Living in a humid place, I thought it was a little silly to add more moisture; but after I tried it, I was sold! It really does help my make-up stay put all day! And, it's also the perfect refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day.  #6 - Sally Henson, Dries Instantly Top Coat I swear this top coat really does dry instantly... I promise!! This is the BEST top coat I have found. Besides drying at record speed, it's shiny and durable. If you're like me and always try to do a last minute manicure before going somewhere, or if you just don't have time to wait around (like all of us) this is the perfect find!  Comment and let me know what your favorite bargain beauty buys are, too. I would love to try them out! Thanks for reading, y'all!! Cheers - Molly |
