Summer is here, which means we all need a versatile tote for our activities. A good, large tote bag, can be used for travel, the beach, picnics, park days, and more! The key to finding the right tote is looking for a strong construction, fabric or leather which is easy to clean, and an open interior without dividers. This will ensure the tote bag can be stuffed full of everything you need on a fun, summer day!

There are so many fabulous types of tote bags for summer 2015. I found a few of my favorites and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, have fun in the sun, and stay fabulous 😉

Escada Turquoise Summer eau de toilette review

Escada has a beautiful new, limited edition fragrance for summer 2015; Turquoise Summer EDT. Escada Turquoise Summer eau de toilette is a light, fruity gourmand fragrance. 

Turquoise Summer by Escada starts off with a sweet, fruity scent which is laced with a light, vanilla sheen. After about twenty minutes, the fragrance settles into a fruity bouquet with smooth, sweet undertones. As the day goes on, Escada Turquoise Summer EDT takes on a sweet, floral scent which ends with a woody base. The EDT mixture is light; lasting about three quarters of a day.

Top Notes: Strawberry, Raspberry, Blackcurrant

Middle Notes: Peach, Violet, Orange flowers

Base Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood

Escada Turquoise Summer EDT is a fabulous fragrance for the warm summer months. The sweet, fruity gourmand scent works perfectly in warm, and hot weather. The light composition lends itself well to being worn in tight quarters, such as the office, or theater.

I rate Escada Turquoise Summer eau de toilette, five out of five stars.

Escada Turquoise Summer eau de toilette is a limited edition scent. It can be found online here, and here.

Santana Row held their annual “Poolside Soiree” for summer 2015 on Saturday, June 6, 2015, at the chic new Misora swimming pool on the Row. This fabulous event included appetizers, drinks, pop-up boutiques, and an amazing runway show featuring the hottest styles for summer in Silicon Valley. 

Fashionistas braved the almost-record high temperatures to enjoy ensembles from Penelope Boutique, Harajuku, Ted Baker, and more. I am in love with the printed dress shown above from Ted Baker. Isn’t it fabulous!
