Weekend Style | Faux Fur Coat

Ann Taylor Fur Vest_2

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I'm sharing an outfit I wore last week during NYFW.  I was inspired by all the faux fur outfits so I traded out my black leather moto jacket for a more statement piece with this coat and printed top. 

Last week, I wore a similar top with off-white wide leg trouser.  Ann Taylor released their spring line and it's full of versatile pieces like the ones I'm wearing today.

What to Wear to Work | Spring Ready!

Ann Taylor_Polka Dot_WorkWear_1

With spring right around the corner, I'm quickly transitioning from black winter pieces to more colorful and vibrant colors. This polka dot blouse from Ann Taylor is lightweight and can be worn to work and after hours. I love the necktie that buttons on the back of the shirt (to stay in place), it gives the blouse a little more personality. 

If you're looking to add new workwear pieces to your wardrobe, head over to Ann Taylor, they're having a sidewise sale with 40% off your entire purchase! I picked up another white button down shirt and this black and white sheath dress

Here are a few of my favorite pieces.

Beauty Review | TextureTame

Texture Tame_6

I've teamed up with DermStore, once again, to share my experience with an at-home frizz eliminating system called TextureTame. Anyone who knows me, probably knows that I'm always trying to get my hair straight and soft. Someone with naturally curly hair, I've done everything from straightening my hair with an ironed to getting a chemical relaxer put in my hair (and then it fell out, it was a tragic experience in college).  I've done it all! After years of heat and color damage, my hair has lost a lot of shine and silkiness. 

When the DermStore team reached out to me to try this brand-new product, I immediately said yes! I'm always interested in trying new products on my hair. After a few weeks of using the treatment I immediately noticed the difference in the amount of frizz and volume in my hair. Here's a look at my hair before the treatment.

Step 3: finish
This step can be used daily to wet or dry hair. This will help enhance smooth and shiny strands. It also helps against additional damage, especially for someone like myself who's always using heating tools. 

how to: apply teaspoon amount of FINISH to towel-dried hair. Comb through evenly. Blow dry and style as desired. Can also be applied to dry hair for added shine and silkiness.
