For those of you who don’t know, I actually moved back to New York this month (yay!). As one of my favorite cities in the world, when I am in NYC, I feel like I can wear whatever I want, how ever I want… and sometimes hit upon outfits that are perfect for the day and scheduled outings. This was one such day and outfit. It is my version of what Blaire Waldorf would wear if she was lunching in the LES.

Easy on the eyes (and skin) makeup. Tarte Cosmetics offers a complete natural beauty line. My look today is 95% Tarte! I was inspired by a look in a magazine where the eyes were super light, with no eyeliner and just a hint of mascara. The focus was on the lips- in a vibrant pink. I recreated the look with my favorite non-toxic products and here is a breakdown of my look:

-Foundation: Tarte Smooth Operator Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

-Eye Shadows: the lighter shades in the Tarte NeutralEYES Natural Eye Shadow Palette

-Lip Stain: Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster in Pouty

-Mascara: Dr. Hauschka Mascara

Even though this outfit may not scream practical… that is exactly how it came to be. I dress for the weather. When I checked the forecast and saw 60’s with sunshine, I decided it was time to don the shorts with tights trend. A see-through top for a little added interest, and a print jacket to pull it all together. The shoes are patent wedges, so they are great for treking around the city. As I was walking out the door, I popped on the headband, and knew the look was complete.

I also sported my new wish ribbon that I got with my Olga Olsson swimsuit. It is a Brazilian tradition to wear these ribbons and for every knot you make, you are grated another wish! So, off I went, wishes intact, to meet up with the designers from Cri de Coeur for our ladies lunch!
