Guerlain Meteorites Pearls review

products c/o of Guerlain: Meteorites Baby Glow Touch / Meteorites Birthday Candle Pearls / makeup brush (so soft!! Love!!)

Guerlain is celebrating 30 years of their fabulous illuminating, and color-correcting Meteorites Pearls. To celebrate, they have introduced a special birthday edition of the famous Guerlain Meteorites Pearls for 2017. This special edition offers the same, well-loved Meteorites Pearls in a beautiful birthday package which looks so pretty on a vanity. This special edition is named the “Guerlain Meteorites Birthday Candle Pearls.” Love!

How pretty are these pearls!! I tend to prefer wearing powder alone, without foundation. I am prone to acne, so I only wear foundation for special occasions. My daily beauty routine consists of concealer over blemishes, blush, and powder. Although I have always admired Guerlain’s Meteorites Pearls from afar, I hadn’t tried them before. I was so thrilled to have the chance to try them out. I am hooked!

I used this beautiful pink makeup brush to apply the pearls. The brush is luxurious and soft; I need to get the blush version! This brush glides over the beautiful pearls, and helps apply the powder evenly across my face. I love the uplifting, illuminating look the powder offers me. This is my new go-to powder for my daily beauty routine! I love this pretty, pink, special edition casing. My daughters are already eyeing it in hopes of snagging it from me, but I have a good hiding place where they can’t find it. haha

How cute is this on-to-go Meteorites Baby Glow stick? This is a great highlighter in a compact package which fits nicely into my purse for touch-ups during the day; or for travel. I don’t want to throw my pearls into my suitcase, so this stick is perfect to use in lieu of the pearls while traveling. Love!

This whole collection is my new addiction. I highly recommend adding it to your routine! You can find the limited edition Guerlain Meteorites Pearls online here.

Thanks for stopping by!

ModCloth Fall Haul

wearing items c/o ModCloth:  burgundy and ivory striped blouse / burgundy corduroy pants / green shoulder bag / fall floral maxi dress

The fall season is here! This means it is high time we all stock our closets with the hottest trends from the fall 2017 season. Since I found so many fabulous fall pieces from ModCloth last month, I decided I would go back to ModCloth for a fall haul. They have so many styles which not only fit into the fall trends, they fit into daily life. So excited for what I bought!

fall floral maxi dressaffordable fall floral maxi dress

I love maxi dresses; and they are a hot trend for fall. In addition to maxi dresses, fall florals are a must-have trend for the autumn season. So together, they make the perfect fall dress! Florals were all over the runways for the fall season, I love seeing them on the streets; and ModCloth made them a reality. Love!

This maxi dress was perfect for a day of shopping. It is really comfortable, and can be dressed down by being paired with booties. The open slits on the sleeves give the dress a little extra sass; which is fabulous. I can also dress up this floral maxi dress with heels and a clutch. I feel tall and confident wearing this dress. It is the perfect day into dress for fall!

1970s fall trend1970s inspirations

The 1970s were a huge influence on the runways for fall 2017. It is one of my favorite decades for casual dressing, so when I spotted these wide leg, corduroy trousers at ModCloth, I knew I needed them. They have a 1970s vibe which is downright “groovy.” They will transition from fall into winter easily with the addition of a chunky wool sweater, or a fabulous coat.

I wore this outfit on a busy day last week while out with my kids. It was really comfortable, and people kept complimenting these pants. Love that!

This blouse is a classic shirt which I love wearing with these pants. It will also look cute with jeans on more casual days. It can also be worn with a classic suit for the office.

How cute is this military green, embroidered shoulder bag! It matches everything for fall, and it is so easy to wear. I love the interior pockets, and I find myself reaching for it almost every day this season. I cannot believe how affordable this bag is. The price just blew me away. It is extremely well-made. Quality is everything, and this bag has it! As you know, I know handbags, and this one is fabulous.

If you are not familiar with ModCloth, I want to fill you in on a few things about why I love shopping with them. ModCloth has a mobile app, which is available in the app store. The app is great because it will recommend the perfect size for you based on your input in the app. The website also has a style gallery. This is a fun place to browse all of ModCloth’s latest styles worn by real people like you and me; not supermodels. You can see what the clothing looks like on real bodies, and in real life situations. Lastly, if you have trouble shopping on the site, ModCloth Stylists are on hand to help! They seriously have the most helpful Stylists and customer service reps in the industry. This is the easiest place to shop on the web! Love it!

If you aren’t already connected with ModCloth, be sure to follow them on social media and check out ModCloth.com to see all the fabulous fall styles in stock!

The return of the pleated skirt

pleated skirts for fall fall pleated skirts fall handbag shoe trends how to wear a pleated skirt fall 2017

wearing: blue tassel earrings / Chanel lipstick / blue ruffle sleeve top / black leather and silver watch / Chanel fall nail polish / Givency bag / bold silver cuff (on major sale!!) / black metallic pleated fall skirt / blue velvet booties (so comfy!!)

Remember a couple of years ago when pleated skirt were all the rage? They seemed to disappear for one year, and now they are back! For fall 2017, pleated fall skirts are hotter then hot; and I am thrilled!

I love pleated skirts for fall because they are a flattering silhouette on almost every body type. Pleated skirts can be dressed up for dinner, the theater, church, or date night. They can also be worn casually with street sneakers, flats, or sandals for a feminine daytime look. Love that!

Two years ago, pleated skirts were being shown in solid colors, and in prints. They were usually made from a polyester fabric. For fall 2017, pleated skirts are being shown in velvet, faux suede, and thick, autumnal fabrications. This metallic skirt I am wearing in this post is made from a thin, faux suede-like fabric which feels so luxurious. Love!

These photos were taken while I was in New York for fashion week. I wore this outfit on Sunday when I attended seven shows. The shows I attended that day were Francesca Liberatore, Dan Liu, Nina Tiari, Leanne Marshall, Rinat Brodach, Vivienne Hu, and Jared Zhang. Whew! It was a full day, I am not quite sure how I squeezed in any food! Room service is a life saver during fashion week!

I’m excited about this skirt because back home, I can wear it casually with a sweater and boots during the day, or I can dress it up with a black top and high heels for evening occasions. This will be my go-to skirt for fall!

These booties also happen to be a new favorite of mine. They are really comfortable, and kept me going all day long! The velvet is soft and the heel hits my foot in the right spot to give me a bit of arch support. I am looking forward to wearing these often during fall with skirts, dresses, and jeans.

The next item on my wish list is a velvet pleated skirt. I cannot wait to find the perfect one! Fingers crossed I find one in blue or burgundy. Wouldn’t that be fabulous! What do you think of the pleated skirt trend for fall 2017? Is this one you will be wearing?

Thanks for stopping by!
