A few of my favorite things - the professional woman collection

professional woman = time and sleep deprived, plenty of travel, tired, stressed, but still want to look and feel fabulous. Here a few of my favorite things for professional woman maintenance.

fitflop - When i was traveling across north Mediterranean, from spain to singapore last summer for a month, I only brought a carry on suit case with two pairs of shoes: hiking boots and my fitflops. The fitflops are a dream come true, super cushy and comfortable to walk around as a tourist, AND don't make you feel like a dorky tourist. they are the perfect answer to style and comfort. Never felt uncomfortable, and never felt intimidated. You can't get better than that. I haven't tried their winter editions yet, but will for sho.

tumi double shoulder backpack - a must, sleek and professional, saves trouble, looks chic. they don't carry the one i have anymore, so here's a look-alike - and you can add your own monogram on the name plate for free too.

Travel perfume atomizer - genius, you remove your perfume bottle cap, put this little gem on top of it, and start pumping, the perfume will enter the atomizer from the bottom, not wasting anything. and you get to smell like your normal self even when you're traveling, without having to manually move the perfume into a smaller bottle, or spending money buying smaller packages. tiny little genius.

Kiehl's eye de-puffer - i have eye puffness and dark circles like every other professional woman, and i struggle with bringing eye cream to travel with me, they are too big for travel size. i use guerlain eye cream, which is also extremely expensive so i hesitate to try to spoon it out to another smaller container which always results in waste. so when i found this i'm very excited. it's like a lip balm, but for eye. it's soothing and it's solid, so perfect for traveling. it does NOT work miracle but does make your eye feel a bit better. love.

Burberry lip velvet long wear lipstick - nothing beats a smart color lipstick when it comes to instantly brightening up a whole face, this is my favorite color - i've owned 3 of this long wear version, 2 of the satin version of the same color - 304 redwood, very natural and very flattering color - doesn't embarrass you no matter you're meeting a client or a friend.

 

this color also goes well with the sepia gloss - the Burberry lip glow natural lip gloss.
