What’s Under Your Clothes?

We talk a lot about different styles and trends and how to wear them.  But what you wear under your clothes makes a huge difference in how the clothes look.  I started to think about some of my must haves that every woman needs to have in her intimates drawer.  Kind of a weird (and slightly awkward) topic, but it’s necessary and we will get thru it together.

Let’s talk about bras.  I love a beautiful, lace bra that makes me feel sexy.  But let’s get real, I rarely wear them.  With most outfits you can see the lace and it makes my boobs look all bumpy.  A smooth, push up bra is what I am wearing almost every day.  As a woman in my 30’s who has had 2 kids (and nursed them both) I need push up and padding to keep my ladies looking plump and perky.

I always have this kind of bra in black and nude.  Get it in nude, not white.  You can see a white bra under a white shirt but you can’t see nude.  I some times have a fun color.  Maybe a pink or light purple, just in case a bra strap shows during the summer it looks much cuter than boring nude.

Blush Jacket

blush faux leather jacket

Blank NYC Faux Leather Jacket | Topshop Top | Frame Denim | Vince Camuto Shoes | Celine Bag, similar Here | Kendra Scott Earrings | Givenchy Sunglasses | NARS ‘Turkish Delight’ Lipgloss

A Chicago spring can be extremely moody; warm and sunny one day, cold and rainy the next.  It can be tricky to stay warm and still look springy.  A blush colored jacket & white denim is the perfect answer!  Yes, it’s another faux leather jacket from BlankNYC.  I’m telling you they make the best faux leather and I’m obsessed.  This is the same style as the black one I wore in this post with a pencil skirt.

I’m pretty much in love with this metallic top!  It makes this outfit pop and look so much more awesome than wearing just a basic tee.  Lace up sandals are everywhere, and I’m loving the color and comfort of these (and the price!).  Take off the jacket and it’s a perfect outfit for a warmer climate.

How gorgeous are these white flower trees!!!  The entire street in town is lined on both sides with white blooming flower trees!  It’s so beautiful!  We walked up and down the street just enjoy the beauty!

The Best Product for Acne Scarring, Texture, Hyperpigmentation, Fine Lines & Wrinkles

cane & austin retexure pads

Whatever your skin history is, most of us have issues on our face that we aren’t happy with… acne scarring, sun spots, hyperpigmentation, texture, fine lines and wrinkles.  We all have something we want fixed.

Maybe you suffered with acne that has now cleared up but has left scarring.  Or you didn’t use sunscreen and now you have sun spots or hyperpigmentation.  Or that zit that has left a brown spot on your face for several weeks or months.  Or maybe you have texture that just won’t go away no matter how much you exfoliate.  And of course, we all want to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles!

I discovered Cane & Austin products about 2 years ago and never looked back.  I still think they have the best at home results from any product I have seen.

Why these work:  It’s all about the glycolic acid!!  Glycolic acid improves skin texture and appearance.  It stimulates collagen production and elastin fibers, reducing acne scarring, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Handkerchief Hem Dress

Devlin Dress | Denim Jacket (sold out), similar Here | Joie Shoes, also love these | Chloe Bag | Necklace | Earrings | Givenchy Sunglasses

I love dresses that are easy to throw on and are effortless to wear.  As soon as the warm weather hits I can’t stop buying dresses.  They are an entire outfit in 1 piece, how much easier does it get?!  Our summers are so relaxed and casual, I usually don’t want to put a ton of thought into my outfits.

When we were taking these pictures there was a rain storm coming.  It was very windy (you should see some of the out take pictures, lol!), which made the dress move around and look so pretty.

We gave my website a face lift yesterday!!  I’m so excited about the way it turned out!  We are still making a few tweaks here and there.  Take a look at it and let me know what you think :)

Have a great Sunday!!
