| I'm seeing a TON of this in all mags for the Autumn into the Winter as the must-have pattern to mix into your look. Again, I'm on the fence... I mean, it's traditional (nothing new) but is it something I am going to hunt down on my shopping excursions this season?? I'm going to say no when it comes to clothing, but the bag with a chunky gold chain might not be something I could pass up! |
 |
| In an effort to slough of Summer's dry skin and fade a few thousand freckles I have collected, I ordered a tried and true at home glycolic peel set from skin911.com I will use only once - maybe twice a week and follow the directions it comes with religiously to get soft skin results without the huge price tag of a trip to the spa or dermatologist. |
 |
| I am loving the idea of a pending sweater season and will welcome it with a Southwestern patterned cardigan. All three above are from Forever 21. Keeping is simple with a black & white color scheme so the look doesn't get to corny. Maxi, shawl or chunky knit style???... THAT is the question!! |
 |
| SHE'S BAAAAACK! Who doesn't love Elizabeth Gilbert since she took us on her amazing journey with Eat, Pray, Love ~ And her new book is almost out... Perfect, cozy, deep, MUST read! Discover more HERE. |
 |
| Our new addition to the family! I picked this up at the Rose Bowl Flea Market last weekend... Going along with my Southwestern feel ~ I am working on a home decor upgrade of Mid-Century meets Ralph Lauren & Tommy Hilfiger and this cool (Mr. Baggage thinks kinda creepy) deer skull is seeming to be a good match for the wall at the end of the hall... Now need a pin spot light for some dramatic effect. |
 |
| Right off the bat, I'm going with LOVE. I'm a product of the 90's and it brings back a little leftover grunge in me. Also, #1 - I love the colors and #2 - it's a fun pattern. I'd say I'm most likely to choose to accessorize with shoes or a handbag, but I'm really close to paying a visit to the Gap this weekend for the basic jacket. It's perfect to layer in LA for our pending Fall season. What do YOU think? |

| So pretty by day and by candlelight at night |
 |
| Welcome to a fun, new weekly category where we can examine the latest trends and really decide if we are going to love it or most definitely leave it off our wish list. I have to admit... I'm on the fence about this look, but if I had to try and LOVE it... Would need to go with the Michael Kors version I noted as my favorite. What are YOU thinking? |
 |
| A nice, bold berry lip is necessary for Fall this year. I found a perfect shade that works for all skin tones... Maybelline Color Sensational in Blissful Berry (base coat), topped with Raspberry Ablaze High Shine Gloss and then fill in for a fuller effect as a finishing touch with a plum liner. |
 |
| Added a smidge to my cheeks for an overall blushing look - Easy, minimal, hassle-free look! |
 |
| Stop what you are doing and head straight to Bath & Body Works for this scented candle. It makes my world so much happier!! |
 |
| If you plan to purchase only one new item for the season, my pick is a leather (real or vegan - your choice) biker jacket. I got the above from H&M and love the look for dress up or down - basic, versatile piece. It's really a no-brainer :) |
 |
| Just the right amount of edge to add to a monochromatic look - keeps things interesting. |
 |
| Favorite snack 'o the moment = fresh baguette, toasted walnuts, creamy bleu and an ample drizzling of honey... simple layers - huge flavor! Inspired by this pic from Pinterest largely in part due to the butcher's paper used as a serving tray. Gonna need a roll of this! |
