Kendra Scott’s winter 2016 collection “Mirror Mirror” is here! I am so excited about this jewelry collection. I was able to view it before it hit store shelves when I visited Kendra Scott’s showroom in New York during fashion week. It is so beautiful, I am so glad it is here to share!

The collection combines an ethereal vibe with an edgy flair, which translates into a fashion-forward, yet timeless, collection. Love that!

The Mirror Mirror collection offers a little something for everyone this winter season. There are delicate pieces in opals, iridescent pastels, and neutral druzy’s; as well as seasonless gold, silver, and rose gold. There are delicate pieces, chunky pieces, and pieces begging to be layered.

In addition to stand-alone pieces, Kendra Scott winter 2016 offers sets. These sets come in stackable rings, and small stud earrings. They are both perfect for the new trend towards layering rings, and layering earrings.

I am in love with the stud earring sets! As a GenXer, I still have my double piercings in my ears from the late 80’s, early 90’s. I took the earrings out of my second holes when I worked in the financial district in the mid to late 90’s, and having multiple earrings in one’s ear was against dress code. Ha! Remember office dress codes? I used to wear a suit everyday! But I digress. . .

The stacked earring trend is back. It can be worn with multiple piercings in one’s ear, or it can be worn with ear crawlers, and ear cuffs. You don’t need all those holes anymore! Of course, since I have them. . .I am eyeing Kendra Scott’s new stud earring sets for winter 2016 because they are perfect for layering! I would love to wear them in my second holes.

I have already indulged in a few pieces from Kendra Scott’s winter 2016 collection, “Mirror Mirror.” I have more pieces on my wish list! Good thing Christmas is coming up, maybe Santa will bring them? A girl can wish right?

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion review

Pictured: c/o Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod nourishing body lotion

If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may have already figured out how much I love Molton Brown! I use their shampoo, conditioner, hand wash, and now, Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion!

Living in California, I spend a lot of time in the sun, in the pool, and outside in general. My three kids keep me moving, and as a result, my skin gets dry. There is nothing like pool chemicals, salt water, sun exposure, and more to wreak havoc on skin!

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try Molton Brown’s body lotion. As a huge fan of the brand, I anticipated loving the body lotion. I was not disappointed!

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion turned out to be exactly what my skin needed. It has been helping keep my skin nourished; especially after a day in the sun! I can say goodbye to dry skin! Love that!

The Pink Pepperpod scent is just as fabulous as the body lotion itself. The scent is sweet, spicy and rich; I love it!

Top notes: fiery pink pepper

Middle notes: ginger

Base notes: rich patchouli

Pink Pepperpod can be found in many Molton Brown products including candles, body wash, hand cream, eau de toilette, and in gift sets! The gift sets will be perfect for this upcoming holiday season.

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion is a new staple in my beauty collection. I definitely want to try the body lotion in other scents; as well as try out more Pink Pepperpod scented products! I’m in love!

I rate Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod body lotion five out of five stars!

Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod nourishing body lotion can be found online here.

All about the Chloe Hudson

Pictured: Earrings: Kendra Scott (with gold and tigers eye) / Lipstick: Chanel Melancolie / Top: Frame Denim (last seen here) / Bracelets: Kendra Scott (with gold and tigers eye, and gold with white pearl)/ Nail Polish: Chanel Fortissimo / Handbag: Chloe / Jeans: Citizens of Humanity petite (cute reg flares here) / Boots: Tory Burch

Have you ever put an outfit together for the benefit of your handbag? It is something I find myself doing quite often when I have a new handbag. I pre-ordered this Chloe Hudson in early summer, so now that I have it, I had to design my outfit around it.

The Chloe Hudson has an obvious, 1970’s influence. Since I wanted a casual look for the weekend, I decided to play off the 70’s style and wear my favorite pair of flare jeans. In order to not compete with the handbag, I paired the jeans with classic black boots, and my favorite black top; which I wore recently at fashion week, and find myself reaching for often. I thought the basic outfit would draw the eye to the handbag.

As you know, I love handbags; and Chloe is one of my favorite handbag designers. The Chloe Hudson first caught my eye when it sailed down the runway for fall 2015. I was excited when it became available for pre-order a few months ago. The original delivery date was in November, but thankfully, it came in September. I’m in love!

I am looking forward to pairing my Chloe Hudson with a variety of looks this fall. I have more casual outfits in mind, and cannot wait to pair it with my suede skirt, last seen here, and more! It also made an appearance on the spring 2016 runway, so this handbag definitely has longevity. Love that!

For the fall and winter season, I also found I needed a new pair of black boots. I am thrilled to have found this classic pair by Tory Burch. The sole has a small lug sole which will be perfect in the winter season to help keep me from slipping on wet sidewalks, or icy surfaces. They may have to come with me to fashion week in February!

Do you ever find yourself designing your outfit around your handbag?

I will be reviewing my new Chloe Hudson later this week, so stay tuned for the upcoming post!
