Day three of New York Fashion Week was a busy day! I chose this flowing dress to combat the unsettled weather, and remain comfortable while running around the city attending shows and appointments.

I started the day at Kendra Scott’s showroom where I was able to view the fall 2015 collection, and preview the new winter 2016 collection. I cannot wait to share the winter collection with you in October!

After Kendra Scott’s showroom, Laura (from Have Need Want) and I popped into the Tresemme salon and tamed our humidity laden heads. They gave me a fabulous blow-out which tamed my hair for the rest of the day, and Laura came out with an amazing braid! Now if I could only replicate this process at home. . . hmmm.

Some of my favorite shows were on Saturday. I attended Jay Godfrey, Francesca Liberatore, Monique Lhuilier, and Son Jung Wan. Each show was so unique, and presented a fabulous collection for the spring 2016 season. Watch for my coverage of these shows!

This dress by BCBG was perfect for the day. It was lightweight and easy to move in. I was able to run around town fuss-free. It did not wrinkle, and allowed for a range of movements throughout the day. Squatting to photograph Laura’s outfit? No problem! Climbing in and out of a giant SUV Uber? No problem! Sitting on a cramped bench at a show? No problem! Love that 😉

I am excited to have this dress as part of my fall wardrobe. It is lightweight enough for our Bay Area fall weather; which can be warmer than summer temperatures. It will also look cute in late fall, when the temperatures dip into the 70’s and 60’s, with a leather jacket thrown over it.

Stay tuned for my coverage of the shows I attended at New York Fashion Week!

During New York Fashion Week, Kendra Scott opened her showroom up to appointments; allowing me to view the current fall 2015 collection. Kendra Scott also displayed the upcoming winter collection which will debut mid-October. (Watch for my coverage of this collection in October!)

Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection features variations on her classic collection; as well as new pieces which are sure to become instant classics. Many of the fall pieces are made with white howlite, or black banded agate; which puts an edgy spin on classic black or white. These pieces work well with any color combination; making them versatile and easy to wear this fall season. Love that!

I am in love with the white howlite pieces. I have a pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace from Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection which are made from white howlite and set in silver. They work well with my summer into fall wardrobe, and also work perfectly with my fall wardrobe. Since they are white, these pieces will work well in any season.

Many of the pieces from Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection work well with pieces from previous seasons. This allows for easy layering.

Kendra Scott fall 2015 also shows mixed metals for the autumn season. Kendra Scott has mixed together silver, rose, gold, yellow gold, and black metals for the fall season. This adds to the versatility of her collection as it can be mixed and matched with almost anything. It also makes her collection easy to travel with. I wore this bracelet set everyday in New York since it matched all my earrings. Loved it!

Here are my favorite pieces from the Kendra Scott’s fall 2015 collection. Stay tuned for her winter collection which I will feature in October!


Chanel Fraicheur nail polish review

Chanel Fraicheur limited edition nail polish

Chanel Fraicheur nail polish is a limited edition nail polish color released by Chanel in early fall. This shiny, mint green nail polish hue is playful, and a fun way to transition into fall from late summer.

The shiny mint green color of Chanel Fraicheur blends well with fall 2015’s neutral color palette; as well as autumn’s deep green hues. The pretty color brightens up dark or drab fall attire. Love that!

Chanel Fraicheur nail polish is also a playful color for the last few days of summer this year. It works perfectly with bright summer attire, and offers a contrast to the dark nail polish hues, and blue nail polish shades, which are so “of the moment.”

I tested out Chanel Fraicheur nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It lasted eight days before I needed to remove it due to nail growth. Love that!

My top coat deserves some credit for the chip-free test run of Chanel Fraicheur nail polish. It really was the star of the show! My review of this fabulous top coat is online here.

Chanel Fraicheur nail polish is limited edition. It is a great color to wear now, and again, when resort 2016 hits in late December, early January. This beautiful mint green hue will also brighten up a dreary winter day in December, January, or February!

For resort 2016, many designers are showing vivid colors, pastel hues, and muted tones. One of the more popular colors being shown for resort 2016 is mint green. Chanel has also included mint green in the resort 2016 color palette. This makes Chanel Fraicheur nail polish a fabulous color to invest in right now.

Chanel Fraicheur can be found online here.

I rate Chanel Fraicheur five out of five stars! Love!
