kendra scott fall 2017 collection

The Kendra Scott fall 2017 collection has arrived! As you know, Kendra Scott is one of my favorite jewelry designers. I love her colorful collection which includes pieces designed by inspiration from her travels. When the Kendra Scott store at Santana Row announced they were having a fall 2017 collection kick-off party, I knew I had to attend!

Kendra Scott knows how to throw a party! There was a live DJ playing popular tunes, an Italian Soda Bar, and delicious appetizers. So yummy! I met up with my friend Laura from Have-Need-Want, and we checked out the Kendra Scott fall 2017 collection while enjoying the party. So fun! Somehow we failed to get a picture of us together at the party. Um, #BloggerFail

After the party, we enjoyed a yummy dinner at Left Bank. I tried the Vegetarian Risotto and it was delicious! Highly recommend!!

How beautiful are these bracelets! They are extremely similar to a bracelet from Kendra Scott’s fall 2013 collection which I own in gold. I was thrilled to see them as part of Kendra Scott’s fall 2017 collection since I get a ton of compliments and questions about my gold one. I am tempted to get the updated version in the rose gold and the antique silver. So pretty!!

How divine is this purple-red stone named “Bordeaux Tiger’s Eye!” These statement earrings are hotter then hot for fall. Statement earrings are a big fall 2017 trend, and these earrings fit the bill. I would love a pair for the fall season, and also to wear for upcoming holiday parties!

Kendra Scott has such pretty nail polish! I love all of these metallic colors. One of the nail polish trends for fall 2017 is metallic nails. These colors fit perfectly into the trend! Which color is your favorite?

All in all, the Kendra Scott fall 2017 collection is beautiful; and easy to integrate into the fall trends from the runways, which have made it to the streets. If you are local to the Bay Area, check out the collection in person at Santana Row, if not, you can see it in all it’s beautiful glory online at KendraScott.com.

Walking into fall with ModCloth

Wearing items c/o of ModCloth: Shirtdress / Mustard Shoulder Bag / Brown Cardigan Sweater / Green Western Style Blouse / Plaid Midi Skirt

Can you believe it is almost the fall season? Despite the fact that it is technically still the summer season, we are getting cool morning fog, and school starts this week; so technically it feels like fall has started!

This is the time of year when I love to transition my wardrobe from summer into fall. I love wearing the hottest fall trends while staying comfortable in the warm summer temperatures. ModCloth has a such a great collection of early fall merchandise; it makes it easy to rock the new fall trends while staying comfortable in the summer weather.

ModCloth has so many amazing pieces for walking into the fall season. Plus, it is so easy to find something which fits perfectly! ModCloth offers sizes for every body type imaginable; with sizes ranging from XXS to 4XL. Nothing makes me feel more positive about my body then knowing I can find my size!  It really is empowering.

I love seeing clothing on real people, rather than professional models. ModCloth has taken the concept of seeing the clothing on real people by including a Style Gallery on ModCloth.com. It is so cool to be able to see the clothing on multiple body-types; you instantly know what it will look like on you!

If you are having trouble putting an outfit together, or finding the right look for an event, ModCloth.com has Mod Stylists available who can help you shop the site. It is like being in a store, without having to dodge crowds or try to grab a Sales Assistant’s attention. Mod Stylists are readily available online, and you don’t have to dodge any crowds for their help. It’s so luxurious!

You can visit ModCloth.com for more information about the uber cool Style Gallery, or for personal assistance from a Mod Stylist. Now, let’s chat about my favorite pieces for walking into fall from ModCloth.

I absolutely adore separates for the early fall season; also known as pre-fall. The outfit pictured above is a great collection of separates to help get from summer into fall. The cardigan is a classic must-have for foggy mornings, and cool evenings. It can be worn over jeans and a tee, a summer slip dress, and then worked into a fall ensemble like the one I am wearing. This cardigan is a must-have workhorse for transitioning from summer into fall! Love!

This western style green blouse is a great piece for fall. The western trend is emerging, and in 2018, will prove to be an important one. I plan on wearing it with jeans on casual days, and with this skirt all season long! It will be fabulous in early spring too with a denim skirt and slides. Love it!

Can we talk about this plaid skirt for a moment? It really is the centerpiece of my summer into fall wardrobe from ModCloth. This skirt can also be paired with a linen tee on warm days, along with mules or slides. When the weather gets colder, it will look amazing with over the knee boots, and a cozy sweater for a casual look, or for a more dressy look, tights, heels, and a wool blazer. There are so many possibilities with this skirt! That must be why ModCloth named it the “Hero Skirt.” It is a wardrobe hero!

I truly believe for any summer into fall wardrobe to be complete, one must have separates to integrate into one’s summer wardrobe, as well as one fabulous dress. Oh this dress! It has an on trend 1970s vibe; which is a hot trend for fall. It also has a slimming effect, as well as offers a comfortable fit. I am in love! I wore this dress back to school shopping with my kids, and my mom told me she had a dress like it in the 1970s. Rocking a fall trend while staying comfortable in summer weather; pre-fall fashion mission accomplished!

Since I am a handbag superfan, you might be wondering why I have not mentioned this cute little shoulder bag yet! Well, you know me, save the best for last! I love this bag! It has a built-in wallet system with four separate compartments. This bag can be worn over the shoulder for a 1970s vibe, or it can be worn cross body for comfort, and ease of use. I have been wearing it both ways, and love it!

There are many more pieces from ModCloth.com which are perfect for transitioning from summer into fall. Be sure to visit ModCloth.com to see everything they have right now!

Chanel fall 2017 nail polish collection review

chanel fall 2017 nail polish collection review

Chanel fall 2017 nail polish collection from left: Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish / Chanel New Dawn nail polish / Chanel Horizon Line nail polish

The new Chanel fall 2017 nail polish collection is here! Chanel has included three, beautiful colors for the autumn season this year. My favorite color in the fall collection is “New Horizon.” It is a pale, blue-grey hue which is fresh and unexpected for the fall season. Love that!

The other two colors in the Chanel fall 2017 nail polish are more classic, traditional fall colors. “New Dawn” is a soft neutral hue which is a cool, pale beige or nude. “Rouge Noir” is a vampy, red-black color which is dark, mysterious, and ideal for the dark hues we are seeing in the fall 2017 apparel collections.

Each one of the Chanel fall 2017 nail polish collection colors is a stand-alone hue which serves a different purpose. I love all three! Without further ado, here are my reviews and swatches of each one of the Chanel fall 2017 nail polish colors from the autumn collection.

Chanel fall 2017 nail polish: Chanel Horizon Line nail polish fall 2017

chanel nail polish fall 2017 review

Chanel Horizon Line nail polish for fall 2017 is my favorite color from the autumn nail polish collection. I love the grey-blue hue which acts as a neutral, without being a neutral. Love that!

This is a fresh color other nail polish companies simply do not produce. I love it when Chanel offers original colors which cannot be found elsewhere. It helps makes the polish more special. Horizon Line by Chanel will be an easy color to wear this fall since it contrasts to the dark colors being shown this season, as well as offers a nice blend for fall’s cobalt blue trend. Chanel Horizon Line nail polish will be the color I reach for the most this fall 2017 season.

Chanel Horizon Line nail polish is a great color to wear now, and into the fall 2017 season. The pale grey-blue hue of the polish allows it to play well with the current late summer color palette, as well as move right into the fall 2017 season without clashing with any autumn hues. I plan to wear this nail polish now, and well into the fall season. I am in love!

I tested out Chanel Horizon Line nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. Horizon Line by Chanel is a cream nail polish and it applies smoothly, without streaking. Since it is part of the Chanel Long-wear collection, Horizon Line by Chanel does not chip easily; and I felt like I did not need a top coat. Love!

Chanel fall 2017 nail polish: Chanel New Dawn nail polish fall 2017

chanel new dawn nail polish fall 2017

Chanel New Dawn nail polish for fall 2017 is soft beige or nude color. This is the ideal neutral for the autumn season and it is also a great contrast to the dark fall 2017 color palette. New Dawn by Chanel is also a great color to wear now, and into the early fall season. It is a great summer to fall transition color, which makes it a great nail polish wardrobe staple to have on hand. The color is also a classic neutral, so it will be easy to wear with anything. Love that!

To test out Chanel New Dawn nail polish, I used one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. Chanel New Dawn is a cream nail polish which applies smoothly and streak-free. It is part of the Chanel Long-wear collection and does not chip easily. No top coat needed! Love that!

Chanel fall 2017 nail polish: Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish fall 2017

chanel rouge noir nail polish fall 2017

Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish for fall 2017 is oh-so-vampy! What was once know as the new Vamp, number 18 has now been named Rouge Noir, and it is the perfect black-red nail polish color. Rouge Noir by Chanel is also a nail polish wardrobe staple. This is a classic, deep, dark red hue which is great to have on hand when you want to be on the edgier side with your nail polish color. I love the mysterious vibe Chanel Rouge Noir offers. This is also a great color to wear with the fall 2017 1970s vintage trend. It seems to be the perfect color to wear with the trend. Love that!

Dark nail polish colors tend to chip easily, but I was pleasantly pleased to see Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish did not chip as easily as it’s counterparts. I tried out Rouge Noir by Chanel with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. This is a cream nail polish which applied smoothly, and did not streak. The color was even, and saturated, with only two coats; this is hard to accomplish with darker polishes. It too is part of the Chanel Long-wear collection, which helps the nail polish not to chip.

The Chanel fall 2017 nail polish collection contains an edgy, yet classic, fall-like vibe with a neutral hue, a vampy color, and a new color invention. There seems to be a color for every occasion, yet all three colors will work well with any fall color palette. I love all three of these nail polish colors for fall 2017 by Chanel!

Which nail polish color is your favorite for the fall 2017 season? Are you loving one color; or more then one color from the collection?
