NARS Amarapura nail polish is a mirror silver, metallic nail polish hue which is perfect for the fall 2016 season! Love! While shades of red nail polish dominate the beauty scene for autumn, metallic hues are the secondary trend which is heating up store shelves in every department; including nail polish!
One of my favorite types of nail polish is metallic. I love shining, metallic nail polish hues because they are neutral yet edgy. Amarapura by NARS is a fabulous, cutting edge silver which acts like a neutral, yet shines bright with an edgy, mirror finish. Love that!
The first week I tested out NARS Amarapura nail polish I used one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish began chipping after four days. The second time I tested it out, I added a top coat. The top coat allowed the nail polish to last chip free for a week. Perfection!
NARS Amarapura nail polish is my current favorite polish to wear now, and into the fall season. It is really a fun color! It also looks amazing with fall’s mixed metals trend in jewelry. You can pair it with multiple metal colors in rings and/or bracelets for a very of-the-moment look. I really love wearing this mixed metal ring with NARS Amarapura nail polish. It looks amazing!

Earlier in August, I attended the League to Save Tahoe’s annual Tahoe beachfront fundraiser. This fundraiser is presented by Saks Fifth Avenue and features the Oscar de la Renta resort collection which was designed by Peter Copping. This year, the event raised over $860K for lake conservation efforts! That is a staggering, amazing number!
It is the most enjoyable fundraiser I attend every year! Although the event is held at a private estate on the beach in Incline Village, NV, the majority of attendees are from the Bay Area. It is really fun to meet people, and find out they live close-by, or have a common ground with me. The crowd is both philanthropic, and into fashion, so conversation focuses around helping the community, saving the lake, and fashion! It is my people 🙂
This was the first time my daughter attended a grown-up fundraiser. She has modeled in the Junior League fashion show before, but has never attended a fundraiser as a guest. She did really well! She enjoyed looking at the silent auction, the view, and the fashion show. She even ate the very grown up food! I was so proud of her!
She really is growing into a nice young lady before my eyes. Oh I wish she would stop growing up! My baby is almost taller than me, and she is one shoe size away from me! It seems like just yesterday she was a little baby girl, now she is a young lady! Thankfully the braces keep her looking young 😉
When deciding what to wear to the League to Save Lake Tahoe annual beachfront fundraiser, there is a strategy involved. The event is held outside, on the beach. When you are in elevation, the temperature may be seventy or eighty degrees, but the sun is more potent than at sea level. This means sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are a must! When choosing a hat, it must be low lying so as not to block other guests from properly viewing the live auction and the runway show. This is usually easy to accomplish, but something to keep in mind while deciding on a hat.
The first time I attended the event, I wore a brown and white cotton dress. This kept me cool, but since you are sitting in part shade during the event, you can perspire a little bit. I do not recommend wearing white cotton to this event. I don’t need to explain. 😉 The best type of dress to wear to the League to Save Lake Tahoe fundraiser is one which is lightweight, offers a print or dark color, and does not show perspiration.
Shoes are an important factor in deciding what to wear to an outdoor, beachfront fundraiser. They must have a flat sole or you will find yourself sinking into the sand. My favorite type of shoe to wear is an espadrille, but any flat or wedge, which is not too narrow, will do.

The Greatest Show on Earth is coming to town! The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus is coming to San Jose August 25 through September 5, 2016. I can hardly contain my excitement!
When I was a little girl my mom took to me to the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Cow Palace. It was so amazing! I couldn’t believe how many tricks the animals were able to perform. I was also enthralled by the acrobats, and the performers walking on the tallest stilts I have ever seen! The colors, the costumes; everything was fabulous!
My husband and I have wanted to take our kids to the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus for quite some time, so we are thrilled they are coming to San Jose later this month. The current theme is “Out of this World; Light Years Beyond the Expected.” I can only imagine the amazing show this will produce! My son wants to be an astronaut when he grows up, so seeing a space themed show will amaze him!
Don’t miss out! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the beautiful costumes, and talented acrobats in person! We are going, I hope you go too!
