The Hoover Dam

Hi Friends!  In February, I visited the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas to celebrate my 25th birthday!  Some of my very best friends from college helped me ring in the next quarter century. :)

Dallas Stars Game

Hello all!  I hope you're surviving the winter weather.  I'm starting to get cabin fever, but there are some good things about cold weather (case in point: frozen) and wintertime activities. I caught a hockey game in Dallas with some of my college roomies.  This was my first experience with professional hockey, and I was impressed by how graceful the players were on the ice.  

And yes, the whole times I was chanting "ducks fly together" in my head.

Jane Squared vs Winter

Winter 200 points. JaneSquared 3 points.

Shesh Winter! I told you to get real & get out of town! Ah .. well, at least the snow looks pretty...

Today I'm wearing my new favorite denim top from Uniqlo. This is a great shirt that can easily transition into work wear (tuck into a pencil skirt, add a cardigan or blazer). Lucky for me, I'm keeping it casual with a great pair of leggings and my duck boots. 

We can battle this winter together! Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Menswear Monday: Shave and a Haircut

Well it may no longer cost 2 bits for these items, but sometimes there's nothing better than a good haircut and a nice close shave. For me personally -- a trend that I am happy to see sticking around is the old school style shaving. No more five razor combos and aerosol gel spray. It's all about going back to basics. Props to Aili's bro for introducing me to some of my favorite shaving items.

This safety razor is nice and heavy; and the it twists to open the head for a blade change. A years worth of blades can be found super cheap online and will make you wonder why you ever spent $15 for a set of name brand heads that will only last you two weeks. 

The positive for this stick soap means it's great for anyone on the go. No need for a cup just rub directly on your wet whiskers, lather and get your shave on. The end result is a much better experience and a smoother shave. 

Trust me, you won't be the only one to feel the difference.

Cheers & Happy Shaving.G
