It will be December in just 3 days... I can't believe it either. I love the holiday spirit and of course the fab dresses and all the glammed up style. I wanted to put together one look every week for ideas on what you can wear for all the holiday events that are filling your calendar!




I love that you can wear this dress again and we all can use a new LBD! This shoes are to die for. You can dress them up with a cute little dress or spark up your casual outfit with these sexy stilettos  And the price of this gold clutch you won't believe! All the above accessories are currently available at my boutique for less than $25 each! They would make super fab stocking stuffers too!

It's been a long-time dream of mine to have my own boutique ever since I can remember. Last year when the thoughts of beginning my blog began to brew in my mind... I never imagined I would be here today. But thanks to the amazing support of my husband, family and a few very close friends, and a lot f long days and dreams... I am so beyond elated to  introduce to you LOLA BLUE, THE CLOSET, an online jewelry boutique!

SALUD AL DIA #1!

As far back as I can remember, one advice my mom always gave me was to take care of my skin. From when I was a little girl to the days as a teenager when I began to wear makeup. She would always make sure I washed my face correctly, removed my makeup and bought me any products to treat or prevent any acne I may have had. I was lucky to be blessed with fairly clear skin. But there were those days when those little suckers (zits) would appear.

One of the most important things about caring for my body other than healthy eating habits is keeping my skin fresh and clean. As a fashion blogger - I love to play around with clothes AND makeup, I don't wear heavy makeup on a daily basis unless I am on a night out but for my day-to-day I do love my mascara, bronzer,  lipstick/lipgloss, and I can't live without my concealer!

So for me the most important part is cleansing and maintaining, that is to make sure my face is clean and I go to bed makeup-less. But as a mom of a 15 month old and the hectic days I've had lately, for me, a reliable and efficient skin routine is a must! I have trusted Neutrogena for years now. And their Neutrogena® Pink Grapefruit Line features products that powerfully treat and help prevent breakouts and blackheads while delivering a refreshing blast of 100% naturally derived grapefruit extract and vitamin C. It's a win-win for me. Quick and easy steps for fast and amazing results!




IN THE MORNING.
I typically wash my face with a acne preventing cleanser, even though I have fairly clear skin, I like to prevent them. I recently started using Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser and I must say I am loving it. It leaves my skin feeling amazing, so clear and fresh. It does not irritate my skin and it prevents breakouts!

After washing my face, I use a toner (twice a week, to prevent drying out) then immediately apply an SPF moisturizer, DAILY, even twice a day. I always use SPF on everything I put on my skin.

SCRUBBING IS A MUST.
I use the Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub three times a week. It does not irritate my skin as it is gentle enough for everyday use, but I like to not use too many products all in one day. I find that for my skin, less is best. I first wash my face with the facial cleanser then use the scrub. These are my best skin days... and my makeup looks amazing after this morning shower wash!

REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP NIGHTLY.
By the time night falls, I am exhausted. This is why I love cleansing wipes! They are easy and efficient. They are my DAILY go-to product when it comes to my bed time routine. I've been using Neutrogena® Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes Pink Grapefruit, they are gentle and remove all my makeup, even my eye makeup! It leaves my skin feeling young and vibrant! And off to bed I go :)

With the craziness of Hurricane Sandy here on the East Coast, I forgot to post my {One Year Anniversary} last weekend. But it's never to late to wish someone a Happy Birthday :) One year ago on October 27th I began this fabulous journey and since then things haven't been the same. I have met some amazing people, some virtually, others in person. And I cannot be any more grateful to my loyal readers. Because of you, LBTC is growing and will grow to much more!

It has opened the doors to many more dreams and goals. And I am so happy I decided to begin my blog when I did. I couldn't have done it without the support of my husband, my mom and my real friends who have been my biggest cheerleaders. My blog had a slow start because I had a newborn and managing time was difficult at first but now it is like a job to me and a very important element in my life. It has opened up the gates for many dreams and many future ideas.

I can't wait for new things to come! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for an excellent first year! Can't wait to celebrate many more. I couldn't have done it without you.

As always...

I've been eyeing some fab pieces for this fall season that I am totally in love with! I am so obsessed with these items, I do have a just 2 of these... but my poor wallet can't handle them all but at least I can post and wish ;) ...well and maybe I will be getting a couple of these! Sigh.






Hoping to grab a couple of these as soon as I can get a minute to head to the mall... super busy lately!

What is your list consisting of this season? Do you have any of these?
