Remix: The Tuxedo Blazer

Well, technically it's more than one remix but whatever.  I've re-styled my +H&M tuxedo blazer for today's post.  I bought it years ago (it was on sale for like $20 or $30?), but I still love it to pieces.  They always sell cute blazers so hit 'em up often.  Don't forget to check their sale racks! I go STRAIGHT to the back every time - I don't even look at new arrivals because I rarely buy anything non-designer for full price.
Oh how I love wearing faux-leather.  This BCBG skirt is ridonkulously cute, but unfortunately I don't have a link for y'all because I bought it WAY back in the day.  Here are some other adorable options though (all under $50).
Here's a full body shot for you guys!  A simple but polished look.  How would you style this blazer?

Current Beauty Must-haves

Totes excited to share my current beauty picks with you guys today on SS.  Before shopping my faves, make sure you guys check out ShopAtHome.com - an online coupon and cash back site that partners with thousands of online retailers - to get the best bang for your buck. They offer awesome deals and rewards, and let's be honest, who doesn't like saving money?  
1.  Hourglass Lip Treatment Oil - hands down, the BEST lip treatment I've ever used.  Enriched with 14 essential oils, this product has both short- and long- term benefits.  It conditions lips, relieves dryness and chapping, and shields against environmental elements.  In addition, it strengthens the moisture barrier; boosting skin smoothness and elevating the appearance of lip texture, shape, and volume!  It goes on like liquid velvet. 
 2.  AmorePacific's Moisture Bound Sleeping Recovery Mask - The most AMAZING overnight treatment.  Apply it over lotion or cream, and let it work its magic.  Formulated with 5-Hydra Complex (a potent blend of Asian botanicals that delivers mad hydration), this amazing product is lightweight and luxe.  Yes, it's pricy, but I promise you that it's totes worth it!  
 3.  Kiehl's 'Midnight Recovery Concentrate" Elixir - Looking for a face oil?  This baby will seriously satisfy like no other.  My fave Kiehl's product for sure - a lightweight treatment that restores skin's healthy appearance overnight.  Simply use a few drops!  Yes, I know this item's pricy but the bottle lasts forever.
4.  Lancome's Comforting Rehydrating Toner - Gentle and hydrating, this product leaves your skin silky-soft.  Use it over your face and neck after cleansing morning and night!
5.  Mario Badescu's Protein Night Cream - My FAVE night cream for sure. Antioxidant vitamin A reduces the effects of aging, while a high concentration of emollients along with collagen help preserve skin's tone and elasticity.

The Linen Pencil Skirt

I apologize in advance for today's post - it's short (but hopefully sweet) because my photos kind of came out "meh".  I'll do a better job next time, I promise.  Anywho, let's get down to bidness! Imma start by telling you guys all about my new necklace courtesy of Mad Jewels.  My chelsea horn necklace is available HERE for $58.  It's 30" long, and the horn's 2'.  It's pricey, but the quality's on point!

Let me tell you a bit about the designer behind MJ.  Madison Patrylick started creating baubles at the young age of 8 - she inherited her love for jewelry from her mother.  She's self-taught (crazy impressive, right?) BTW.   Shop Mad Jewels' fab collection today - they offer affordable baubles made of high quality materials such as natural and semi-precious stones.  On top of it all, MJ donates a portion of proceeds to non-rofit organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Operation Kindness, and The Trevor Project.
A closer look at today's work-friendly OOTD! What do you guys think of my new blouse courtesy of ZNU? I think it's super cute - the lace embroidery is very pretty IMO!
