Little black dress and a pop of green

wearing: statement earrings / black dress / golden necklace / green handbag / blue nail polish / black flats /

There is always an occasion for a little black dress. I love this little black dress since is machine washable and priced well under $100. I wore this outfit recently to Broadway San Jose and it was perfect for the evening.

When it comes to wearing black, it’s fun to add a pop of color through a handbag, jewelry or footwear. For me, I’m all about the handbag! I’m always looking for an excuse to wear my little green handbag!

Also, I would like to give these black flats a shoutout. They have arch support, so I can easily walk and stand in them despite my plantar fasciitis. Love that!

Chanel no. 19 edp review

pictured: Chanel no. 19 edp / pink nail polish /

Who doesn’t love a classic scent? I have owned Chanel no. 19 edp for several years now, and it is a classic floral eau de parfum which isn’t sticky or sweet; it’s a green floral.

Why is my bottle so full you ask? Well . . .I may own a few too many bottles of perfume, so it does not get sprayed very often; but I am trying to change that and wear it more often. I really do love the scent for days when I want a floral but not a floral fragrance which rivals a gourmand.

Chanel no. 19 edp mixes green galbanum, powdery iris, rose, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and a white musk base. Since this is an eau de parfum formula, I find the fragrance lasts all day. Love that!

This is not a strong or overpowering scent. You can wear Chanel no. 19 edp to the office, the theater, and anywhere you are in tight quarters and want to smell nice but not offensive. I would describe it as an everyday perfume which can be worn in any season or weather. Love!

So, if you are looking for a daily eau de parfum, Chanel no. 19 edp is a perfect option!

Thanks for stopping by,

XOXO

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: summer sweater / Dior summer nail polish / Chanel summer nail polish / Hermes summer nail polish / pre-fall black sweater / pink earrings / caramel top handle bag / belted tote / chocolate brown suede boots / east/west bag / Chanel Chance /

Pre-fall has arrived! This always a sneak peek into the fall season. This is a great time to find lighter weight fall clothing since the first half of the fall season is always warm during the day; as if summer refuses to end!

I love short sleeve sweaters during the early fall weeks. This black one is already in my closet and ready for September! It will pair nicely with trousers for the office and jeans for casual days. Love that!

Also watch for a continuation of the suede trend, belted totes, east/west bags, neutral hues, pops of green and dark red, and western inspired boots. Wide leg jeans are nearing the end of their run, so keep your wide leg jeans and continue to wear them, but don’t invest in a new pair. Look for more classic cuts. Barrel jeans are a fleeting trend, so proceed with caution.

The Nordstrom Sale is currently ongoing. Check out my favorite from the sale here.

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