Head right from the office or working from home straight to date night or meeting friends for drinks with a simple and stylish outfit combo. We love this look that’s easy to recreate with a beige blazer, cropped black jeans, black heeled sandals, and a sleek black chain-strap bag. If you need a little extra polish, add a button-down shirt, or if you want a more feminine vibe, slip a satin camisole under your blazer instead.

This Day-To-Night Look is So Easy to Copy

Whether it’s grabbing brunch or heading out for evening cocktails, this outfit is ideal for your next date. The feminine white eyelet top pairs perfectly with cropped jeans and strappy black heeled sandals.

For the person who asked how i run so many blogs and if i stay online all day...

No I am not online all day, lol. I am extremely busy with college, working, interning, volunteering and applying to grad school. I just love blogging and want it to be a part of my life, so I make time for it. Truth is Le Fashion, Le Smoking and now Le Love are quick and easy to keep up with. I just upload a few pics a day, which takes me about 15 minutes to update those. Olsens Anonymous requires a little bit more work, but still only about a half hour.

My Current Beauty Routine

I've gotten some requests recently to share my beauty routine, so even though this is a bit out of my comfort zone, I figured why not have a little fun (hello, kissy face!), and give you guys the run-down. I've always been pretty low-key and try to get my makeup done in about 15 minutes. Here's what I currently use for my daily go-to beauty look...

+++

SKIN: My skincare routine is pretty elaborate since I don't have the best of skin- Thank god for Instagram filters! That said, I'll save it for another post, and simply focus on the makeup aspect for now. I need good coverage even in the summer months, so I use a combination of products that feel light but have strong cover game. Under my eyes I dab Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm for a dewy brightness to hide dark spots. I then use a Sonia Kashuk Core Tools Concealer Brush with Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Concealer to cover my blemishes. Using my fingers I then apply and blend L'Oreal Visible Lift Serum Foundation over my face. Last, I set everything with BareMinerals Original Foundation Powder.

+++

BLUSH/BRONZER/HIGHLIGHTER: For some definition, I use either the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Bronzer, Highlighter & Blush Palette in Streak or BareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Warmth. I blend the bronzer with any brush I have handy along my cheekbones, hairline and lightly on my nose and chin. If I'm in the mood for a little color I add some of the blush from the palette over the apples of my cheeks. For highlighting, I'm obsessed with Chantecaille Liquid Lumière Illuminator in Sheen. I dab a little along the top of my cheeks, the inner corner of my eyes and under my brow arch for a flattering and subtle glow.

+++

BROWS: First I groom my eyebrows with the brush end of my Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Soft Brown and then fill them in with the pencil side. To keep them in place throughout the day, I use Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel.

+++

EYES: To begin, I lightly dab one of the bronzers mentioned earlier to my lids for a little depth. Next, I tightline my eyes with simple black eyeliner. I like to use the Almay Contour Crayon Eyeliner since it doesn't smudge as much as a pencil. If I want to add some flair and have some extra time, I like to do a winged cat-eye look with Cover Girl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner. To complete my eyes, I go straight for my Shiseido Eyelash Curler and throw on a few coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Very Black.

+++

LIPS: I usually use a mix of Ilia Lipstick in In My Room and Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment in Rosé. If I want a brighter pop of color I like to use Nars Lipstick in Heat Wave or Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner in Bang Bang.

+++

HAIR: For the look in the photos I let my hair air dry after spritzing in Bumble and bumble Surf Spray and applying Rodin Luxury Hair Oil to the ends.

ps- My earrings are Rebecca Minkoff.

How To Wear An Off-The-Shoulder Top On A Date

One of the great things about a black off-the-shoulder top is that it can be worn an endless amount of ways. Here I went with a summer day-date theme that can easily take you into date-night by loosing the sunglasses and swapping the pink gloss for red lipstick.

We all adore makeup but makeup looks ten times better on healthy skin. Sleep is your skins opportunity to renew itself from harsh day to day impacts. A sleep mask combines vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants and hydrating ingredients to strengthen skin while you slumber. All you have to do is apply, shut your eyes and wake up refreshed.

Fashion It girl, Danielle Bernstein, looks like a total boss in this casual-chic look from her Instagram feed. A beige blazer and white tee are ideal for working from home and meetings while distressed denim keeps it casual and relaxed for day-to-day at home. Adding a pair of white heeled sandals gives you an outfit that’s worthy of date night or just for those days where you want to elevate a basic outfit. Shop the must-have pieces below.

This Outfit Is Perfect for Relaxed Summer Days

We’ve found the ideal casual-chic look to wear this summer, whether you’re working from home, staying in, or out running errands. A white blouse and high-waisted jeans are closet basics that always look great together. Add a pair of chic white flats and you have an easy outfit to wear no matter where your day takes you. Swap the flats for heels to elevate the look and take it from day to night. Shop the essential pieces for this outfit below.

How to Wear High Waisted Trousers This Season

High waisted jeans are essential, but high waisted trousers are in a league of their own. Why? The silhouette makes their own statement, it's polished and they're universally figure-flattering all at once. This staple can be reinvented day to day, based on how you style them and the current season. Pair a crisp white pair with a bubblegum pink silk blouse for the ultimate transitional ensemble.

We Love This Dressy Way to Style Denim Shorts

Denim shorts are a summer staple, especially when paired with a tank and flat sandals, but sometimes you want to take your look from day to night. Wearing denim shorts for a night out or even for working from home is easy when you pair them with the right pieces like a white blazer, a black t-shirt or camisole, and add a pop of color with your heels. It’s a chic and stylish way to wear your favorite cutoffs when you want to get a little bit dressed up.
