Early fall casual outfit

wearing: bold gold statement earrings c/o Bauble Bar / Chanel summer lipstick / fall black and white striped sweater / black layering tank top / fall dark rinse girlfriend jeans / Givenchy handbag / fall 2017 YSL nail polish / fall embroidered mules

First off, my apologies for the slightly blurry photos in this post. My adorable nine-year-old son really wanted to take my pictures and see them on the Internet, so I let him be my photographer for the day. He tried really hard, and did a good job considering he is new to using a DSLR camera!

This casual fall outfit for the early fall season is already turning into my favorite look. Although it is not fall yet, I have been sneaking in my fall wardrobe during the morning hours when the fog is in, or has just burned off. I can handle wearing heavier clothing until about 11am, and then I need to switch back to my summer wardrobe. I can tell this thin sweater will be a go-to item once the temperatures cool down around October.

The sweater is really comfortable, but it does hit right at my belt-line. To correct this, I wear a black tank top underneath the thin sweater in order to make sure my belly is not exposed. No-one wants to see that! haha

The sleeves on this sweater really elevate it from a basic fall knit to something special. I love the belt details on the arms which have a slight bell silhouette. My kids get a kick out of it! They think the sleeves are “really fun!”

I wore this outfit out to an early lunch the other day with my kids. I took them to Straits at Santana Row, and we enjoyed a yummy lunch; and ordered too much food. Can I just tell you, we had leftovers for days!!

These fall 2017 slides were comfortable for walking around, and I love that I can wear them in any weather. At least I can rock a fall trend all day, any day, during the rest of summer and into fall with these mules!

Which fall 2017 trends are you in love with, and are rocking right now?

Thanks for stopping by!

Fresh Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream review

fresh vitamin nectar moisture glow face cream review

all products c/o of Fresh, from left:  Fresh Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream / Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy Boosting Face Mask / Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

Fresh has been one of my favorite shower gel’s for years and years, so when they contacted me to let me know about their new Fresh Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream, I was thrilled! I had no idea they had a product line beyond the bath!

The new Fresh Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream is jam-packed with Vitamin C, and essential minerals. It is like super-food for your skin! When I use it after washing my face, I feel refreshed; and my skin is perfectly moisturized. Love that!

In addition to the Fresh Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream, Fresh has a matching mask which is great to use for deep cleaning. The Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy Boosting Face Mask is my new Sunday evening mask! It too is jam-packed with vitamin fruit complex. Love!

This was also the first time I tested out the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser. I love it! It leaves my skin squeaky clean without stripping the good oil from my face. Love that!

Since simple skin care routines are my jam, this one leaves my skin with a natural glow. Speaking of glow. . .Fresh is hosting a one-month “Fresh Glow Challenge” which kicks off today! This challenge is designed to help us all glow from the inside out.

Ruffle top under 20

wearing: rose quartz and gold dangle earrings c/o BaubleBar (love these, current fav!!) / Chanel summer lipstick / blue and white striped ruffle top (under $15!!) / wide leg raw hem jeans / Cult Gaia bag (in stock!) / Essie summer nail polish c/o / brown and silver leather watch / silver mules (fall 2017 under $75 and super comfy!!)

Can we dub this the “Summer of Ruffles?” I am pretty sure I own more ruffle and tiered tops right now then I have owned in all of the years I have lived on this planet combined. That’s a lot of ruffles!

The ruffle trend may have turned out to be my favorite trend of the summer 2017 season. I just love it! Ruffles are so lighthearted, playful, and downright fun! This top is turning out to be a great casual outfit game changer. Instead of a tee, I can thrown on this top and look instantly on trend! Love that! Plus, it is under $15. Love that more! haha

Like the white ruffle top I wore earlier in the season, this blue and white striped top can be worn off of both shoulders, or just off one shoulder. It is always nice to have versatility in a top.

Which summer trend have you found yourself stocking your closet with?

Thanks for stopping by!
