Over the weekend my husband and I visited my parents in Connecticut. The weather was absolutely gorgeous all weekend! Such a big change in weather from last time we were up there.

On Saturday we ran errands all morning and also went out to lunch.  I paired my favorite black zipper pants from Banana Republic with this cute grey sweater from H&M.  The sweater has lining underneath and the back is open which sets it apart from any other boring sweater.  To complete the look I paired my outfit with this pretty statement necklace from LOFT which has a hint of that beautiful lime color.

Springtime is here and it's time that I came out of hibernation and back into the blogging world! Truthfully I missed blogging as I really enjoy it. But life happens. I got married, took a couple of mini vacations, went through another busy season at work, and bought a house.. definitely a lot of great changes! 

Over the weekend the weather was beautiful and sunny here in Philadelphia.  I only thought it was appropriate to wear my chambray shirt paired with my super comfortable Banana Republic black ankle zip pants to a friends house for a barbeque.  This chambray shirt is a must have staple for any wardrobe and was perfect for the occasion – easy to layer, simple, and casual.

Product Review: The POREfessional by Benefit Cosmetics

I hate pores! It's super hard to get rid of pores and some of us naturally have larger pores than others.  I’ve always had large pores on my nose and always wondered how to minimize them! Luckily, I stumbled across the Benefit The POREfessional by Benefit Cosmetics (retails $31.00) and am totally loving this product!

This product is a face primer that makes your face look flawless.  The product works to smooth out uneven skin texture (such as pores and fine lines) and essentially creates a smooth surface for flawless skin.  The formula itself is lightweight and feels silky. It’s a balm that you can apply under or over makeup.

According to Benefit, this product can be worn two ways:

Under Makeup - Apply to clean, lightly moisturized skin then pat on problem areas and blend with fingertips.  Using the product under the makeup creates a smooth canvas.

Over Makeup - Pat on lightly over makeup and blend.  This helps to touch up problem areas and to make your skin look matte.

I really like the packaging on this product.  The product comes in a tube (not made out of glass) for easy traveling! You can easily throw this in your purse for those that are always on the go.
