Swimsuit Trends

Summer has finally arrived in Portland.  People here joke that summer doesn't start until July 5.  It couldn't have been more accurate this year.  I'm liking the old fashion glamour swimsuits this summer--comfortable and classic silhouettes that are timeless pieces.

Beauty Product Review

 

I've discovered some great new beauty products that are worth mentioning. First off is the Clarisonic brush which is a very effective exfoliator that gets your skin ultra smooth.  It deep cleans your pores and gets rid of dead skin and as a result, your moisturizers sink in better and make-up products work better. 

  The Arcona Mandarin Brightening Peel was recommended to me by my Esthetician friend.  It is an all natural fruit acid peel that leaves your skin smoother and improves the overall appearance of your complexion.  Pairing the Clarisonic with the the Arcona Mandarin Brightening Peel is an excellent in-home facial that will leave a visible difference.  

Maybelline has been making very good products that are better than many of the department store make up for fraction of the price.  A lot of the make-up is selling out like crazy, and I had to go to several stores to find some of them.  The Dream Liquid Mousse has a flawless finish and available in many shades.  The Tattoo eye shadow is a creamy eye shadow that has supreme blendability that stays on all day.  

TGIF-5

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  I thought this safari inspired outfit 
would be a good way to start off the long weekend.

Margaux Goes To Work-9

Jade green combined with coral pink and yellow accents 
will be great colors to wear this spring.

Aberdeen Railway Commuter Carryall

The Aberdeen Railway fabric is a custom print that was a lot of fun to design.  The floral pattern was drawn with a drawing pad on the computer, and it was easy to customize the shapes to exactly what I wanted.  It was also a luxury to hand select the colors rather than settling with what's available in the market.  With the coating on this fabric, this bag has superb durability. Spill on it or get it wet, and all you have to do is wipe it clean.
