Faux leather pencil skirt for fall

wearing: gold hoops / knit top / fall nail polish / faux leather skirt / handbag / shoes c/o Lonza /

I love the look of leather skirts, but I always feel like I am walking on eggshells if I wear one. So, when I spotted this faux leather skirt, I was drawn to its durability and worry-free composition. Plus, it looks like leather and was priced under $50. That’s win/win. Love that!

To complete the look, I paired my faux leather skirt with these fun flats from Lonza Shoes. I love the soft leather and edgy style. The square toe is emerging, and I love it!

Since we have had some fog int he mornings, I decided to wear my fall outfit to meet my friend Dawn, from Fashion Should be Fun, for brunch in downtown Los Gatos at Southern’s Kitchen on Main Street.

The food at Southern Kitchen is always delicious, and they have a cute parklet where you can enjoy your meal outside. The weather was perfect and we had a lot of fun chatting. If you are local, I highly recommend checking out Southern Kitchen. It’s on Main Street. You’ll love it!

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp review

pictured: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp / Chanel fall nail polish /

Chanel has given us a warm, new fruity floral fragrance just in time for the fall season, and I love it! Normally, I shy away from scents which contain jasmine, but this time, Chanel has done a good job of masking the jasmine and letting other fragrance notes have their moment. Love that!

Here are the fragrance notes from Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp:

  • Top Notes: lychee, grapefruit
  • Middle Notes: rose, jasmine
  • Base Notes: amber, patchouli, vanilla, vetiver

Ah, vetiver! This is one of those notes which always signal to me that I will love the scent. Back in the 1990s, I was a huge Gio de Giorgio Armani fan, and it had a beautiful vetiver scent. Oh how I miss that fragrance! But, I digress. . . Chanel has given us a fabulous, modern scent with a slight vetiver base and it is downright fabulous.

Chanel hit a homerun with this new eau de parfum. The florals are warm, the woody base is smooth, and the fruit adds a little somethin’ somethin’ which makes the overall combo warm, slightly sweet, and cozy. When I say cozy, I mean Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp will be perfect for fall and winter. I love a warm fragrance experience on foggy days and in cooler temperatures.

I wish you could smell this through the computer screen. I know you would love it! The warm floral scent is dominant with a smooth, woody base balancing out the florals. The fruity portion is very slight, and it too balances out the florals. It’s chemistry perfection. This is an eau de parfum I plan to wear very often. I am in love!

So, if you are looking for the perfect edp to wear now and throughout the fall and winter seasons, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu edp is the scent for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Chanel nail polish fall 2026 review

Chanel nail polish fall 2026: Chanel Coco nail polish /

The Chanel nail polish collection for fall 2026 is here! For the fall season, Chanel has given us one shade of nail polish; a soft pink named Coco.

If you remember Ballerina, this new shade of pink is roughly similar; maybe one shade darker than Ballerina. There isn’t too much of a difference. Chanel Coco nail polish is a cream nail polish with a classic pink hue which can easily be worn daily and to the office. Love that!

This pretty pink polish looks more like it would be introduced for spring, but Chanel has given it to us for the fall season, proving pink is the nail polish color of the season.

I tested out Chanel Coco nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat. With two coats, it needs a little touch-up here and there, but is mostly a smooth application.

So, without further ado, here is Chanel Coco nail polish for fall 2026.
