Bonobos is Santana Row’s newest retailer. In fact, it is an entirely new concept of retail! Bonobos is not your typical retail shop. Instead of walking into the store, glancing at merchandise and casually making a purchase, you make an appointment for a shopping experience unlike any other! That’s right! Make an appointment at Bonobos and you will never wander the mall again. At your appointment, you can enjoy beer, wine and more while you shop! As you shop, you can relax on the in-store sofa and enjoy the company of your shopping companions. It’s all about YOU!

After you try on clothing and decide on the perfect outfits and/or items for your closet, they will be shipped directly to you! It’s eCommerce like never before! Love that!

Cozy casual winter look

Pictured: Earrings: Bauble Bar / Lipstick: Chanel 93 In Time / Sweater: Banana Republic (sold out, also love this one) / Tee shirt: Express (sold out, also love this one) / Handbag: Saint Laurent / Ring: Bauble Bar / Nail Polish: Chanel Tenderly / Jeans: 7FAM (past season, also love this pair) / Boots: Rag & Bone

Do you have a go-to outfit every season which you find yourself wearing more than once a week? For the winter season, this is my go-to outfit! I find myself wearing this sweater with my charcoal jeans, black jeans, light wash jeans and dark wash jeans. I wear it with boot cuts, skinnies and trouser jeans. Basically, every pair of jeans I own! It’s cozy, soft, comfortable; I cannot believe I did not photograph it earlier in the season! I wear this sweater all the time.

As a side note, this handbag has been on my radar for several months, and now that my holiday expenses are over, I was able to pull the trigger and buy it. I am in love! Saint Laurent handbags are made in Italy by Italian artisans; so they are amazing! The leather is incredible and the craftsmanship is fabulous. The color is also eye-catching; these photos do not do it justice!

What is your go-to outfit this season?

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish review

Chanel blue boy nail polish

Pictured: Chanel Blue Boy nail polish. Two coats of color, one base coat, no top coat.

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish was originally introduced by Chanel for FNO 2011. I remember when Blue Boy first came out, along with Coco Blue and Blue Rebel. I wanted to get my hands on all three, but alas, they sold out faster than you can say “ring me up!”

When Chanel re-introduced Blue Boy for the winter 2015 season, I was thrilled! Here was my chance to snap up one of the beautiful blue nail polishes from Chanel’s FNO 2011 “Les Jeans Collection.” Chanel Blue Boy nail polish is fabulous! It is a medium denim hue which blends in with any medium-wash denim  you can place your hand next to. It is a casual blue color which offers a cool, slate-like vibe; ideal for any season of the year. Love that!

There are also so many shades of blue which are on trend for the spring 2015 season, this makes Chanel Blue Boy a great color to have in your nail polish wardrobe as move from winter into spring. 

I tested out Chanel Blue Boy nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color and no top coat. Chanel Blue Boy lasted a full seven days! Perfection 🙂

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish can be found online here, here and here.
