Pictured: Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish for fall 2015

Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish is part of Chanel’s fall 2015 color collection. It is a deep, dark, evergreen hue which offers a green vibe during the day and in bright light, and dark, black, mysterious vibe at night and in dim light; where it looks almost black.

This is a classic-with-a-twist hue for the autumn season. Dark green, or evergreen, is a timeless fall color which works well with traditional autumn hues such as mustard, mahogany, burgundy, black, dark navy, and shades of brown. These classic hues also happen to be hot for fall 2015, making Chanel Vert Obscur perfect for the fall 2015 season! No wonder it is flying off the shelves!

That’s right! Many stores are already sold out of Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish for fall 2015; and the nail polish has only been on store shelves for about a week! This scenario has IT nail polish of season written all over it!

Not only is Chanel Vert Obscur a fabulous color for fall 2015, it is also a classic hue, making it nail polish wardrobe staple for many fall seasons to come. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. It lasted a beautiful eight days before my nail growth was obvious, and I needed to change the polish. I went swimming several times, washed dishes by hand, and cleaned my bathrooms during that time period without any chipping or signs of wear. I am in love! I may need to credit this top coat for my chip-free test. Highly recommend 😉

Chanel Vert Obscur nail polish is from Chanel’s fall 2015 beauty collection. It can be found online here , here, here, and here. If you love it, shop fast! The color is flying off store shelves and may not be around too much longer.

August is almost here, and the kids go back to school in two weeks! Where did the summer go? My oldest daughter will begin junior high this year, and her orientation is in roughly ten days! With all the 100 degree weather we have been having, I cannot imagine school starting. It does not seem right!

I remember when I was in school, our first day was always the day after Labor Day. We never started in August! The first time I started school in August was when I was in graduate school. I remember thinking it was so strange to be in school the last week of August.

The strangest thing is knowing my kids start school three weeks before Labor Day! I have two children in public school, and one child with special needs. I homeschool my daughter with special needs, and I keep her on the same academic calendar as my other two children in school. This means I go back to school in two weeks too! I am so not ready! It is so hot outside, I just want to sit on a beach somewhere exotic and take a nap!

With the school year two weeks away, fashion week one month away, and fall on store shelves, I have begun to transition my wardrobe into late-summer mode. This means reaching for pieces in fall-like colors and styles, yet keeping fabrics light for the warm weather.

Fall is always a challenge here in the San Francisco Bay Area since we enjoy late summer weather through the beginning of October. If you are not familiar with this weather pattern, it basically means the city gets less fog, and the rest of the Bay Area suffers through summer temperatures until October.

Are you starting to transition to your late-summer wardrobe? When does fall begin where you live?

Don’t forget! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends on August 2, 2015. This is a great time to pick up some new fall items at sale prices! To see my picks, please click here.

My eleven year old daughter took these pictures. I think she did a pretty good job! #ProudMama

Suede is always a popular fabrication when it comes to fall. But for fall 2015, suede plays an important part in the overall vibe of the season. 

Suede was a big part of fashion in the 1970’s. It could be found on skirts, pants, dresses, shoes, and of course, handbags. Since the 1970’s are a big influential decade on 2015 fashion, it is only natural that suede plays a big part in fashion for fall.

Handbags in suede are being shown in every hot style for the season. We are seeing fringe bags in suede, bucket bags made from suede, structured work totes in suede, and every style imaginable! Suede has moved from more casual wear, to everything from the office to an evening gala. Suede is what’s hot for fall!

Of course, not everything has to be natural suede for fall 2015. There are handbags made from ultra-suede, and faux suede. So if you are looking for vegan styles, there is a “suede” out there for you; like this beauty from Jill Milan. 

I found a few fabulous suede handbags from around the web, and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
