Dior Lips

I have been on the hunt for a good lipstick and I think I have found it: Rouge Dior. I love the way it shows up on my lips; shiny like a lip gloss, without the stickiness.  When I wear it to work, people ask if I keep on reapplying more lipstick, as it stays smooth and voluptuous throughout the day. I tried on different shades, but my favorite was #361 Pink Baiser. It's always fun to treat yourself to some new makeup. Do you prefer a matte or shiny lip color?

Pilates Surprise!

This week I did something I've always wanted to do: begin training to become a certified Pilates instructor! I was a Pilates instructor in college for one year. While I never was officially certified, I taught because I loved Pilates and influencing my students to workout while having a good time doing it. This has been on my life to-do list and I am so happy I am taking a big step in achieving it. I get to attend a Pop Pilates workshop March 8th and train with my favorite Pilates instructor, Cassey Ho! She actually inspired me to start teaching Pilates, so it's only right to train with her.

On a fashion note, Joslyn visited me in Chicago earlier this week. We went ice skating at the Maggie Daley Park and tried our best to bundle up with style. Winter is all about layering and having fun with it. Invest in a warm winter coat and add a pop of color with your hat, scarf and gloves. Stay warm, Chicago!

Be-new-fit

Last night, Mary Claire and I each chose a Pinterest craft to make. We decorated mugs and mason jars while listening to country music. It was a perfect girl's night in during this Chicago winter. Today I stopped into Benefit with my friend Li and we tried on new make-up. I purchased the Instant Brow Pencil and Fakeup Concealer. It's always refreshing and fun to switch up your make-up routine. I also receive Birchbox in the mail each month to try new products. They have it for men and women. It's a new year and a great time to get out of your comfort zone. What new things have you tried so far in 2015?

Happy New Year!

It's officially 2015! My New Years Day was spent relaxing with my sister. We went to church together, got Starbucks, did yoga and watched episodes of Friends with Klaudia and Brad. I also made my New Year's Resolutions: 1) Be on time and 2) Blog at least once a week. I definitely want to be consistent on my focus of fashion and hopefully inspire you. Cheers to the New Year!

Best,
Olivia

I wore a silver sequined dress from Revolve.

New Year's Eve

2014 has come to an end. This year has been filled with great experiences and adventures. I celebrated my 22nd birthday on the rooftop overlooking Chicago, visited Poland for my cousin Paulina's wedding, attended Lollapalooza, moved into my first apartment in Chicago, started working at Tiffany & Co. on Michigan Avenue and ended the year at Hard Rock with my best friends Mary Claire and Monika. It's been an amazing year and I can't wait to see what 2015 brings for me. Fifteen is my lucky number so I'm sure it will be a good one. :) I wish you all the best in the New Year!

Love,
Olivia

'Tis the season

It's officially Christmastime in the city, my favorite time of year! After Thanksgiving dinner, my family and I started the season with some Black Friday shopping, I scored a gold iPhone 6 and some clothes. I went home to the suburbs in Algonquin and decorated the house all festive. It always feels good to be home with the family.

Today I officially started my Christmas shopping. I'm trying to get it done early to truly enjoy this time of year. Our apartment in the city is all decorated and we are watching Christmas movies every night. This weekend is TBOX  and I am so excited to go again. While I was getting my TBOX tickets, I met Santa. I already have my Christmas outfit ready to go! Stay tuned for more pictures. Happy Holidays! :)
