If you have been following my blog for awhile, you already know I am a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s bath products. Laura Mercier’s honey bath collection is a luxurious line of bubble baths which offer moisturizing properties and warm fragrances. Laura Mercier’s line of souffle body creme is equally luxurious; offering warm fragrances and vitamin-packed moisture. Love that!

For the 2014 holiday season, Laura Mercier is offering a beautiful gift box with both the Golden Honey Musk honey and Golden Honey Musk souffle body creme together as a duet. Love it! These beautiful smelling skin care products would normally cost $53 when purchased separately, but as a duet, they are priced at only $50. Perfect holiday gift!

Laura Mercier’s Golden Honey Musk Duet is a limited edition gift set for the holiday 2014 season. I love the idea of giving someone two of my favorite fragrant, skin care products in a pretty box. Golden Honey Musk is such a beautiful scent which is warm and ideal for the winter months. It makes the perfect gift!

I give both products in Laura Mercier’s Golden Honey Musk duet five out of five stars. I’m in love with this gift set!

Pictured: Look 1: Earrings: Nordstrom / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Petal” / Dress: Tracy Reese / Handbag: Marc Jacobs / Nail Polish: Chanel Orage / Boots: Prada (old, also love SAVE or SPLURGE)

Look 2:  Earrings: Bauble Bar / Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Petal” / Dress: Tracy Reese / Cuff: Vince Camuto (sold out, similar here) / Nail Polish: Nars Alogonquin / Handbag: Chanel / Shoes: Sam Edelman

I am a sucker for a dress which can be worn in both warm and cold weather. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, our weather changes so much; sometimes in the middle of the day! It is important to have a wardrobe which can easily flow from warm to cold and back to warm temperatures. 

This dress from Tracy Reese is perfect for our Bay Area micro-climates. I originally purchased it to wear at New York Fashion Week last September. It was ideal in the 90 degree heat and humidity. The natural fabric breathed and managed to keep me cool. My feet were killing me after a long day of on and off site shows, so I ended up pairing my comfortable moto boots with the dress and throwing my hair into a ponytail. It was hot and I needed to be comfortable!

Fast forward to our recent winter temperatures and the dress is still working for me! I have been wearing it with high heels and my favorite jacket of the season; my Rebecca Minkoff pink moto jacket. This dress is so comfortable and versatile; I am glad I invested in it for fashion week and the fall season! It has become my go-to dress this season. It can also be dressed up with pointed toe heels and a faux fur jacket. Love it!

What is your favorite, versatile piece this fall/winter season?

Chanel Phenix nail polish Holidays 2014 review

Chanel always introduces a fabulous red nail polish for the holiday season. For the holiday 2014 season, Chanel has given us Phenix, which is a fabulous cherry red nail polish hue. 

Chanel Phenix nail polish is a classic cherry red. The color is vibrant and sweet, making it easy to wear on a daily basis. For the red nail polish aficionado, this is a must-have for collection. Chanel Phenix nail polish is the perfect, classic cherry red for wearing not only on a daily basis, but during any season of the year. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Phenix nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. The nail polish lasted six days before chipping.

Chanel Phenix nail polish will be easy to wear during the holiday season and into the upcoming resort and spring seasons. The cherry red hue is light enough to work well with resort’s vibrant color palette and spring’s pastel hues. In addition, Chanel Phenix blends well with shades of blue; an important color family as we head into 2015.

Chanel Phenix nail polish, and the entire holiday 2014 beauty collection from Chanel, can be found online here and here.
