Cozy fall outfit and studs

wearing: statement earrings / grey sweater / studded bucket tote / fall nail polish / wide leg jeans / boots /

Studded handbags are making a comeback, and I am here for their return! As you know, I love a fabulous, studded handbag and the fact that this slouchy bucket tote has a studded strap is amazing. Love!

You can read my full review here, but I want to add how much I love this bag. The leather is thick, the construction is exceptionally strong, and the bag is downright high quality. I love how the magnetic closure easily snaps together, making the bag feel secure. It is also comfortable to wear and super roomy. Since it is available in so many additional colors, not necessarily with studs, I know there is a variety to choose from.

If you are looking for wide leg jeans for the fall and winer seasons, these are super comfy and well-made. I am all about quality construction right now and getting good value for my buck. These jeans are my new favorite.

Lastly, if you have planter fasciitis like I do, these boots are actually comfortable without my orthotics inserted! Love that! I have found I can easily walk and stand pain-free in these boots. They are fabulous.

I am looking forward to wearing these jeans throughout the season and well into the next few seasons. Love! Also loving these comfy boots and of course, this handbag! You can never have enough handbags, right? Of course!

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday nail polish is coming in! This holiday season we are seeing sparkling pinks and purples for the holiday season, and I am here for it! It is refreshing to not have traditional red. I am not big on red nail polish anyway, so I love having alternatives. You can see Dior’s holiday collection here, and my Chanel review is coming up next week. Loving these colors!

‘Tis the season for sweaters, and so many are on sale! Love that! Here are a few of my favorites on sale. These are perfect to wear now and throughout the cool weather season. Loving these sales!

Slouchy bucket bags are hot right now. If you haven’t snapped one up yet, what are you waiting for? They take the place of a large hobo or tote bag. The ones I am loving right now are all priced under $200 and offer thick, sturdy leather as well as strong construction. I love excellent quality for a fabulous price!

Chic and classic are still the way! As we move from fall into the holiday season, and then the winter season, fashion and style are still staying logo-free and giving us timeless silhouettes. Keep investment shopping!

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for upcoming holiday coverage!

Holiday travel nails 2024

Holiday travel nails: Chanel nail polish / Dior top coat /

Holiday travel is fast approaching, this means our nails need to be ready for anything! Of course, they also need to be festive. After all, the holiday season also includes events and parties! Love that!

One of my pet peeves while traveling is chipping my nail polish. Who has time to re-do an entire manicure while traveling? Not me! Therefore, it is imperative that a travel manicure be low maintenance yet fabulous. So, this 2024 holiday season, I have put together the perfect holiday travel nail look which if it chips, won’t be obvious. It will also be festive and fabulous. Love!

This summer, Chanel introduced an iridescent nail polish, and for the fall season, Dior did the same. Iridescent polish is hot, not just for this past summer season and this current fall season, but also as we move into the holiday season. It is chic with a twist!

The fun thing about iridescent polish is that it can easily be worn daily without showing scratches or chips since it is slightly sheer, thus enabling the polish to be close to our natural nail hue, even after two coats. This alone, makes it a great color for travel. But, for the holiday travel season, let’s add a little somethin’ somethin’!

For the holiday 2024 season, Dior has given us a golden, sparkling top coat which can be worn over any nail polish color you desire. When it comes to travel, I have found it looks out-of-this-world on top of an iridescent nail polish. Seriously, the photo I took does not do it justice. It’s a really cool look. I am in love!

So, there you have it! A fun and fabulous holiday manicure you can do at home and wear care-free throughout the holiday travel season. Love!

Stay tuned for more holiday season coverage!
