SWWC Style Challenge Week 8: Draw Attention to Your Face
People often comment of the glowing skin and good completion and I have to laugh just a bit because they think it is me but it is really just my Mary Kay. For years, I did not have great skin or a good completion but thankfully when I switched over to Mary Kay skin care and make-up products, it was the welcome break my skin needed. I begin to quickly feel and see a big difference. The skin care line I use everyday is the time wise miracle set. I totally love it. The time wise set really started evening out my skin and I had far less break outs. The glow that you see on my head shots comes from my time wise luminous-wear foundation. So weather you are posing for Facebook or Vogue, you want your skin to look its best so you have to treat it right.You use a good product consistently Once you have your skin looking the way you want to, you will want to show it off so add a scarf to your look and the scarf will naturally draw attention to your face and your wonderfully glowing skin.

SWWC STYLE CHALLENGE WEEK 7:The Great Kingston L.A.M.B Tote by Gwen Stefani
As you probably remember, I got The Great Kingston L.A.M.B Tote by Gwen Stefani from my husband for Valentine's day. I love this bag because it huge and so full character. When I saw it at a high-end consignment store, I feel in love immediately but restrained myself from bringing it home. It was hard but I told myself, where would you wear this bag? I couldn't see myself wearing it with allot of things. The lies we tell ourselves, LOL! I went home and then found myself looking at pictures of the bag every night, doing so called research like a purse stalker! I was a mess, I looked at anyone who styled it, all Gwen's pics with it (not to mention that she named the bag after her son which is just sooooo cute), but what finally got me was a picture (that I can't even find anymore) of it showcased in in someones else's dream closet. I was redoing my closet at the time so I took it as a sign ( I know I am dramatic). To be honest it was one of the only purchases that I can remember that I truly regretted not buying. When I was doing my bag stalking, my husband caught me drooling over the tote and since he couldn't remember a time that I was like this, he went out like a superhero and got it for me. Isn't he awesome? So now that I have the purse, what to do you think that I do with this wonderful tote after stalking it? Nothing, it just sits around and makes my closet look fantastic, LOL! So I was excited for this weeks SWWC style challenge because I will be rocking this bag from now on more regularly. Thats right, I am not ashamed to say "My Kingston" is amazing and deserves to be seen, so I no longer am waiting for a special occasion to take out my "special" tote. It is a #swwcbreakout moment and I am breaking my Kingston out all week, even with tennis shoes (high-heeled ones of course)! What items do you have in you closet that need a #swwcbreakout moment?

Find Out How to Be Pulled Together at Your Next Presentation
I was so excited to see the one of my favorite authors and friends Lisa-Jo Baker, the author of "Surprised by Motherhood" participated in last weeks SWWC Week 5 Style Challenge: Focus on Jewelry with a Statement Necklace. It was so amazing that she was able to participate because she is always on the go yet still finds the time to look fresh! #swwcjewelryjazz. When we met up yesterday to chat, she shared that one of the major fashion tips that she learned when giving presentations all over the country is that many of the speakers wore statement necklaces to pull their look together. So whether she is traveling for work, on a promotion tour for her book or fundraising for the orphanage that she is partnering to build in Africa, she stays stylish by using her favorite go to site Stitch Fix to select a few fabulous statement necklaces for her! Stitch Fix sends you great pieces like this statement necklace and bag to your house for you to try on and see if you want to purchase them. This is any busy moms shopping dream. It is like having a personal shopper. Who doesn't need that? I am thinking of getting a "Stitch Fix" myself to save time. Having a membership with JewelMint has worked out great as I mentioned in the post. Where do you shop when you get a moment to fit it in to your schedule? Share in the comments below!
