Ann Taylor Pashmina Scarf – International Women’s Day

In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, Ann Taylor will be offering a new Pashmina Scarf, hand-spun by women in a remote community in the Indian Himalayas who have mastered the artful process of collecting pashmina wool, hand-spinning yarn, and individually dying each piece.
The women who created the scarf are beneficiaries of Ann Taylor’s 100K women commitment, a project that provides the opportunity for women in this village to develop job skills and live full lives every day, providing for themselves and for their families.
Through the Responsibly ANN commitment, Ann Taylor is dedicated to empowering 100,000 women in their global supply chain community by providing health and financial education, giving women all over the world the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The Pashmina Scarf ($128) is made from 100% Pashmina and will be available in Off-White, Pale Grey and Rose Mist. It can be purchased at AnnTaylor.com beginning March 1 and will also be available at select retail locations.

Peplum High-Low Blazer – What To Wear

I’m still in love with the peplum silhouette.  I adore the cut and style of this particular top because it’s fitted at the waist and flairs near the hips.  It’s the perfect look (especially for moms) due to the fact that wearing a peplum silhouette will hide the mid-section.

Peplum tops also photograph well from all angles and give instant curves to the upper torso.  They compliment all body types; one can dress them up or down depending on the occasion.

The Peplum Blazer in the photo (below) was amazing due to the color, one-button closure and high-low hem.  I decided to wear platform pumps for a heightened appearance.  Overall, I was pleased with the quality of this blazer.  I can’t wait to pair with a blouse and jeans for a totally different look!

Michelle Obama – Nariciso Rodriguez Midi Dress

First Lady, Michelle Obama looked stunning (last night) during the 2016 State Of The Union Address.  She was seen wearing a marigold toned, midi dress from designer Narciso Rodriguez.

Michelle Obama is an example of having the total look.  Her makeup was neutral with a soft highlight and contour; hair was placed in a side-part with voluminous waves.

Due to the popularity of her dress, unfortunately it sold out in a matter of minutes!

1907 by Fromm Copper Core Thermal Round Brushes – Product Review

Everyone knows that core strengthening is good for the body. But it’s also great for beauty tools, and that’s why the contemporary beauty tool experts at 1907 by Fromm have given their round brushes a metal makeover. Beauty Brands is proud to introduce 1907 by Fromm Copper Core Thermal Round Brushes.

Featuring a unique copper core barrel, these brushes take style to new heights with unparalleled advantages over brushes with traditional aluminum ceramic coating. The copper coated barrel isn’t just pretty to look at. It also ensures even heat distribution to dry hair 30% faster, while reducing hand and wrist fatigue and minimizing hair damage. Copper is also naturally antimicrobial, destroying 88% of bacteria, preventing dandruff, itching and flaking. And the brushes also provide superior shine.

Product Review –

The 1907 Copper Core Thermal Round Brushes are truly beautiful in sight.  They’re a great addition to your beauty entourage and the bristles feel very sturdy.  Personally, I like the handle grip which is important in terms of blow drying the hair for a total look.  The brushes also come in 4 different sizes depending on the hair length; adding volume and shine to your tresses.

My hair is in a natural (chemical free) state and I like to blow dry for a length check and trim.  The 1907 Copper Core Thermal Round Brushes made the at-home process easier.  I was able to hold my blow dryer in one hand, along with the 1907 Copper brush and was done in a matter of minutes! Visit the social media handles below to purchase and learn more about 1907 Copper Core Thermal Round Brushes.
