OK, so I discovered tie dye blurs when you try to snap pictures of your skirt while in motion, with a point and shoot. As blurry as my skirt appears in some of these photos, it does add a dreamy aspect to the tie dye fabric, don’t you think? After all, tie-dye is from an era when people dreamed of an Utopian society filled with peace, love and happiness. Isn’t that dreamy?

I really wanted this skirt to stand-out, so I paired it with a simple black tee, and black pumps. Since there was also some brown blended in with black, grey, and other neutrals, I pulled the brown out with my fun little train case. This was a great outfit to wear to church last Sunday, which is when we snapped these photos. This outfit will also be ideal for professional meeting this summer, and anytime I want to wear a skirt! Love it!

Tie dye is such a fun trend. It was all over the spring 2019 runways, and it is proving to be a trend that the streets love. People are wearing tie dye everywhere I look! I love the nostalgia of this trend, as well as the artistic value it adds to peoples’ wardrobes. It is very rare to spot the same tie dye twice! Love that!

This tie dye skirt will also look cute with street sneakers and tee on casual days. I always love finding casual ways to wear skirts and dresses in the warmer weather. They are such nice alternatives to shorts!

What do you think of the tie dye trend for spring and summer? Will you be rocking it? If so, what is your favorite way to wear tie dye?

perricone md no makeup collection relaunch

From left: vintage Caboodle c/o Perricone MD (new version here) / all products c/o  Perricone MD: concealer / bronzer / highlighter / blush / foundation /

Perricone MD already had a fabulous collection of lightweight, no makeup beauty products. Now, in May, Perricone MD has re-launched their fabulous no makeup collection with new, and improved formulas! Love that!

The no makeup collection is lightweight, and does not clog pores. The collection gives your face the appearance of not wearing makeup, while enhancing your own, fabulous and natural beauty. This is the ideal makeup collection! Or shall I say, no makeup collection? Yes!!!

I love a natural look. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we don’t wear a face-full of makeup. The overdone look just isn’t done here. We are a natural bunch; we love to enhance what God gave us, instead of trying to change it or cover it up. This is why the Perricone MD no makeup collection is so perfect for the Bay Area; as well as anywhere on the globe! I know we aren’t the only ones who like to enhance our natural beauty! You do too!

You can find the collection online here starting today!

Which product from Perricone MD’s relaunched no makeup collection is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

It’s tote bag season! Memorial Day is coming up, and the weather is warm enough to start weekend outings which involve the outdoors. The one thing we all need this summer 2019 season, is a fabulous tote bag! Yes!!!

There are so many fabulous tote bags on the market this summer 2019 season. Why settle for that boring black tote in the back of your closet? This season, amp things up with a trendy PVC tote, eye-catching stripe tote, self-expressing artistic tote, or a people celebrating rainbow tote. The options are endless!

I scoured the web for a few fabulous tote bags,  and I found eight totes worthy of your wardrobe. They all reflect the current runway and street trends in handbags. Six of them are featured above, check out the shopping widget below to see them all!

Which summer 2019 tote bag is your favorite? I’m eyeing the striped one in the bottom right-hand corner. Love it!
