As we move well into June, lighter fabrics and footwear are moving to the forefront of style. Look for summer weight clothing, sandals or espadrilles, summer nail polish, and the anonymous handbag. Love!

When it comes to color combos, we are continuing to see mixed neutrals, shades of mocha, black and white combos, and also pops of yellow, green, and cheerful hues.

This is the time to continue investing in timeless styles and non-logo handbags. Love that!

Stay tuned for summer coverage!

Mocha dress for summer

wearing: statement earrings / chain necklace / mocha dress / summer nail polish / bucket tote / Mary Janes /

Mocha Mousse is the color of 2025, so it’s only natural that I am drawn to this neutral hue. It is so easy to wear and can be styled throughout the year. Mocha really transcends season. Love that!

Speaking of transcending season, and wearing this mocha dress throughout the year, shoes and outerwear help it fit into the season. In the winter, this dress can be paired with knee boots and a coat. During the fall and spring months, this mocha dress can be worn with a light jacket or sweater, as well as a scarf. For the summer, it stands alone. The knit fabric is comfortable, and I am finding I can wear it any weather; at least here in California.

This mocha dress can also be worn casually, or to the office. I love a wardrobe piece I can wear any day of the week, work or fun! Love that!

I also happen to have this dress in black too. It is classic and versatile. Love!

How are you rocking mocha this summer season?

Thanks for stopping by!

Hermes 24 Faubourg edp review

hermes 24 foubourg edp review

It has come to my attention that I have perfume I never reviewed on the blog! How did this happen? Never fear, I am going to fix this oversight! You will see me reviewing a few bottles over the course of this summer.

I purchased my first bottle of Hermes 24 Foubourg edp sometime in the 1990s. This is a classic woody floral from a time when leaving a trail was everything. If you use more than one spray, you will leave a trail with this fragrance! So, in modern times, one spray is perfect and makes this timeless fragrance as modern perfume can be. Love that!

Do you love a timeless woody floral? I sure do! Hermes 24 Foubourg edp offers a warm fragrance experience which is long lasting, classic, and comforting. The notes in Hermes 24 Foubourg edp include white flowers, orange blossom, and jasmine along with an amber and vanilla base. The result is outstanding. If you love a warm, woody floral, this eau de parfum is a must-have in your fragrance collection.

As a warm woody floral, I prefer Hermes 24 Foubourg edp in the fall, winter, and spring. But, it does work well on cooler summer days. This is a classic fragrance which can be worn throughout the year, and transcends the test of time and fragrance trends. Love that!

So, if you are looking for the perfect, timeless woody floral, look no further! Hermes 24 Foubourg edp is the perfect investment to wear now and forever. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!
