Fall is the perfect season for wearing a sweater dress. Sweater dresses are ideal in the autumn season since they offer a little bit more warmth than flat fabrics. I originally purchased this Rebecca Minkoff sweater dress in August to bring to New York for fashion week. It was in my suitcase and I could not wait to wear it to Lincoln Center to watch the shows. Unfortunately, the weather in New York was over 90 degrees with humidity to match. This was NOT sweater dress weather. <sigh>
Alas, the sweater dress came home with me unworn. Since my return from New York, I have been staring at this sweater dress in my closet, begging to be worn! Thankfully, after a month of 80 and 90 degree weather, we had a little bit of fall weather over the weekend. This meant I was able to finally wear my new sweater dress on Sunday! Yay!
Have you ever purchased something, and then, due to the weather, not been able to wear it right away? If so, do tell!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as someone who has lost a loved one to breast cancer, and has watched a few freidns fight the war against breast cancer and win, this is a cause near and dear to my heart.
There are so many things we can do to help fight breast cancer.
2) We can wear pink during the month of October in order to help raise awareness about breast cancer.
3) We can help raise money for the fight against breast cancer is by purchasing products, we may already need in our life, which give a portion, or all, of their proceeds to a breast cancer charity.
4) We can volunteer our time with organizations such as the American Cancer Society and help those who are battling, or recovering from the disease.
5) We can take charge of our own personal health and remind those around us who staying fit, eating healthy and eliminating or limiting alcohol intake can drastically reduce our chances of ending up with breast cancer; or any type of cancer. Side benefit, this type of lifestyle helps you heart and entire body too! Love that!
One of my favorite home fragrance companies, Agraria Home, is helping fight breast cancer this October. Agraria Home is donating 35% of proceeds from their Cedar Rose collection to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Love that! To shop the collection, please visit AgrariaHome.com.
So how do you plan to help in the fight against breast cancer this October?

Christian Louboutin nail polish is the first real fusion between high heels and nails. Inspired by the original red nail polish Christian Louboutin snatched from the hands of a co-worker to paint the soles of a pair of high heels, Christian Louboutin introduced a collection of nail polish in noirs, nudes and pops for the fall 2014 season. One of The “Pops” is “Lova.”
When Christian Louboutin first annouced he was launching a line of nail laquers, I was intrigued. I always love gazing at his collection of high heels; even if they are not always practical enough for my own wardrobe. As the owner of two pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes, I already am a fan of work, and as a fan of nail polish, this launch excited me!
Christian Louboutin first introduced a red nail polish hue to kick off his collection which matched the trademark red soles of his shoe collection. As someone who owns way too many bottles of red nail polish, I passed on this initial launch. When the next wave of colors came out from Christian Louboutins’ nail polish collection, I was thrilled! I love the collection of nudes, noirs and pops the famed shoe designer introduced for the fall season.
From the collection of pops, I chose this beautiful purple hue named “Lova.” “Lova” by Christian Louboutin is a fabulous, bright purple color which can easily be worn during any season of the year. The color looks amazing with fall’s berry color palette; as well as with shades of blue. Since varying shades of blue is going to be an important color trend for the upcoming spring 2015 season, Christian Louboutin “Lova” nail polish is the perfect hue to both blend and contrast with this upcoming trend.
The application process for Christian Louboutin nail polish is little bit different than traditional nail polishes on the market. Instead of a short handle for holding while applying the nail polish, I had to actually hold the stiletto shaped top. It is a little bit difficult to maneuver because in addition to the long top, the brush is shorter than other nail polish brushes I am accustomed to using when I paint my nails. Although the brush was a bit challenging for me, I persevered and was able to adapt by dipping the brush more often.
Christian Louboutin “Lova” nail polish ended up looking beautiful after two coats of color. I used one base coat and did not use a top coat. The color turned out even and saturated; extremely beautiful! Although I did receive a tiny chip on my index finger within twenty-four hours of wearing Christian Louboutin “Lova” nail polish, I did not receive any additional chips or cracks. The nail polish lasted for one week and looked fabulous! I look forward to testing out more nail polish hues from Christian Louboutin this season; and in future seasons!
Christian Louboutin “Lova” nail polish, and the entire collection, can be found online here and here.
