Since working with Elements Beauty Shop, I’ve switched up my skincare to include several Erno Laszlo products. I’m so excited to be trying out their newest, the White Marble Treatment Bar. It’s described as a gentle, daily corrective cleansing bar that deeply hydrates as it counteracts discoloration. It promises brighter, fairer and more even-toned skin by lifting away impurities and gently clarifying and refining skin texture and tone.
I have had it about a week, and I’ve been loving it so far. Skip the Pre-Cleansing Oil, because the White Marble Treatment Bar has a nano- encapsulated brightening agent, and the oil will block the penetration. (I still love my my sea mud treatment bar and Pre-Cleaning Oil too.) Follow with the light controlling lotion (the toner) and Oil-Control Day Lotion from this kit. It smells wonderful and feels super smooth on the skin. I’m looking forward to see how it lightens the discoloration I have from acne scarring.
There are a few other products I can’t wait to talk to you about, so stay tuned for a full skincare routine post.
Don’t forget to use the code TIRAMISU to get 10% off these and any other products you like at Elementsbeautyshop.com or in their Carytown boutique.

Last weekend was amazing, thanks to a bunch of awesome folks working on the Style Weekly Black Book of Style. Dana Elmquist, their Publishing and New Media Director, reached out and asked if I’d help them out by trying on the clothes for photos. YAAASS. I didn’t know much more about it, but soon learned we’d be working with Sydney from Chic Stripes. (yay!) Scott, Dana’s husband, took all of the photos for the shoot. He’s GREAT. I also recruited my friend Patrick to show off the mens’ clothes.
I posted a lot of these pictures already on my Instagram, but I thought you might like to hear a little more about the shoot and see links to the pieces in the photos. Here’s how it went:
We started the day our at La Bella Hair Studio for hair and makeup with Susannah. She did an awesome job and was so fun to talk to.
Patrick even got a free brow wax. Bonus!
We met Sydney Page Lester and Dana and Scott Elmquist at the Glave Gallery for our first set of shots. Dana and Sydney unloaded the goods, while I got a latte. Diva model life. Just kidding, I totally helped. (I did get a latte though. It was early!)
The look was “athleisure,” which I was super excited about about. I love these Vince mules. I’d seen them on Nordstrom’s site a bunch and contemplated using some saved up Banana points to get them from Piperlime, so I was definitely glad to try them on in real life.
The shoes had fancy white soles, so Sydney had to tape the bottoms to make sure they didn’t get messed up and we stood on napkins to protect them even more. Glamor.
The top and bottoms were both from a local consignment shop, Ashby, so I don’t have links to the exact pieces. I have the Express Barcelona Tank in white and it’s a great basic piece. A lot of the colors are reversible, too. They do have a pencil skirt in a similar print. The pants are Athleta brand.
I loved having fake lashes!
I got to wear an awesome pair of Dana’s own shoes, too.
Next, we went to LaDiff, which is where I got to try on my favorite outfit of the day.
This skirt was SO COOL and this cropped top with a high waisted skirt look is my new favorite thing. Both are by Alice and Olivia.
Dana loved it too.
Our last stop was The Rogue Gentleman, where we shot some cocktail looks. This striped crop top and pop art midi skirt are both by Milly from Saks.
I don’t remember who the shoes were by, but I had to post this picture because it was hilarious to me that Dana and Sydney had to help me take them on and off so they wouldn’t get ruined on the floor. 
This beaded bustier and Floral Jacquard midi skirt are both by Phoebe, also from Saks. 
Dana posted a sneak peek; I’m so excited!
Thank you SO SO SO much to Dana and Scott, Sydney, and Susannah!
Read MoreI love some of the new things they’ve come out with for spring. I browsed the site last night and wanted to share a few favorites:
BR Monogram Pieced Silk Blouse
(I Love tops that are cut like this. The neckline looks like it would be super flattering.)
amirite?
Update: Ann Taylor is having their friends and family sale this weekend. I ordered it online, along with this skirt and this blouse. I also tried it on in-store. Like a lot of Ann Taylor pieces, it runs a bit large.
Meet Leslie! She’s been in the beauty industry for 11 years and is the skincare expert at our local Sephora. She’s a self-described nerd who loves learning about new cosmetic ingredients and how they work. She uses the knowledge from her painting degree in the store every day. She makes jewelry and does metalworking in her free time. She’s going to share her beauty scoop with us!
Tiramisu For Breakfast: What’s your favorite beauty brand?
Leslie: Right now it’s Bite Beauty! The perfect marriage of hippie principles, luxury finish, and trendy colors.
TfB: What product have you been using the longest – your tried and true?
L: Cover Fx Total Cover Cream Foundation. I use it as concealer for spots and it lasts forever. Just the right combo of coverage without heaviness.
TfB: Who’s your beauty inspiration?
L: Isabella Rossellini. She always seems to be down to earth but effortlessly chic also.
TfB: What’s in your makeup bag right now?
L: Bite Beauty Gavi lip pencil, It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Concealer, Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara
TfB: Skincare routine?
L: I just started doing the Korean skincare routine, which feels like doing a facial every night. The key components are double cleansing, toning, serum mixing, and using very mild exfoliators. It sounds complicated, but it’s really not bad…and my skin looks great! My new favorite thing is the Boscia Tsubaki Exfoliating Powder.
TfB: What are your travel essentials?
L: I try to pack light, and always get minis in my favorite products. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is great as a face, eye, and body cream. I love bringing a Stila eyeshadow palette (I have a couple, ha) and their double ended brushes. Scented body lotion or a fragrance solid is easier to travel with than regular fragrances. I’m loving the new Elizabeth and James Nirvana solid perfumes, they’re in the prettiest compacts.
Thanks so much, Leslie!
PS: Leslie just had a birthday. Show her some love in the comments!
