Kendra Scott’s jewelry collection has been around for several years, yet I have never really looked too deep into the collection. When Kendra Scott previewed her fall 2014 collection at the RewardStyle party during New York Fashion Week, I was thrilled to get an up-close look at a beautiful jewelry collection I had never really looked at before. The fall 2014 collection featured classic and colorful pieces which are a trademark of Kendra Scott’s long-term collection. Her fall 2014 collection also featured on-trend items such as the bracelet pictured above and the amazing ring featured in these photos. There were so many beautiful pieces from Kendra Scott’s fall 2014 collection showcased at the event, that I now have a mile-long wish list of pieces I would like to buy! Now, all I need is a money tree in my backyard so that I can afford all my fall “wants!” Such is life. . .

My Kendra Scott fall 2014 collection wish list items are in the shopping widget below. Which pieces do you love?

Dennis Basso spring/summer 2015 New York Fashion Week

Dennis Basso showed his spring/summer 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week on September 8, 2014. Although out photos from the show did not turn out, we are thankful to have this IMG Fashion video to share with you.

I loved the soft white hues, soft textures, pale neutrals hues, brocade, soft metallics, cropped pants, satchels, feminine touches, pale pinks, touches of yellow, pastels, grey, and soft and dreamy florals. Also, did you spot the stacked white bangles half way through the show? Love them!

Piper’s Perfumery review

Pipers Perfumery

Piper’s Perfumery is a new fragrance line which just launched in September 2014. Piper’s Perfumery collection of fragrance mists offer both a whimsical and romantic fragrance experience perfect for the fall 2014 season. Inspired by the “girl-next-door” who is easy-going and carefree, Piper’s Perfumery fragrance mists are lighthearted and easy to wear everyday.

“Sheer Blue” by Piper’s Perfumery is a fresh, citrus fragrance which is perfect for the moderate to warm weather we are experiencing this fall season. In addition to the citrus top, “Sheer Blue” offers a citrus floral fragrance experience with a slightly warm base; perfect for when the evening fog rolls in over the mountains. I adore the fresh yet warm fragrance experience “Sheer Blue” by Piper’s Perfumery offers for a daily fragrance this autumn season.

Top Notes: Crisp Apple, Bright Bergamot, Lemon Zest

Middle Notes: Bluebell, Sheer Jasmine, delicate Rose

Base Notes: White Amber, Blonde Woods, Musk

“Eye Candy” is a sweet, inviting scent which is just as irresistible as your favorite jelly beans or ice cream. This fruity gourmand fragrance is ideal for moderate to cool weather and will take you from fall into winter and back into spring with ease.

As a gourmand fan, I love the candy sweet scent which is smooth, without being sticky.

Top Notes: Sweet Strawberry, Raspberry

Middle Notes: Pink Macaroon, Sugar Cane, Cotton Candy

Base Notes: Whipped Vanilla Bean

Piper’s Perfumery fragrance mists are easy to wear daily and can be applied lightly with once spray, or heavier with multiple sprays; allowing you to experience the fragrance with the depth you prefer. In addition to “Sheer Blue and “Eye Candy,” Piper’s Perfumery also offers five additional scent which are “Sea Salt & Rosewater,” “Naughty & Nice,” “Delicate French Vanilla,” “Love Spark” and “Moroccan Dream.” I am looking forward to testing out these additional scents!

Piper’s Perfumery fragrance mists can be found at Walmart Stores. To learn more about Piper’s Perfumery, please “like” them on Facebook.
