Santana Row’s annual Poolside Soiree took place June 7, 2014 and gave Fashionistas in the Bay Area and beyond a snapshot into what is hot for summer 2014. There was a large amount of flowing fabrics, hi-lo hemlines, boot-cut jeans/pants, softer hues than in season’s past, boho prints, boho silhouettes, pops of orange, pops of fuchsia, and form-fitting suiting for men. The overall vibe of the show was playful and fun; essentially what summer in the Bay Area is all about!

If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, make sure you come down to Santana Row in San Jose for a day of fabulous meals and even more fabulous shopping! I already have my eyes on several of these ensembles for summer. . .

Prada Luna Rossa Extreme is the new fragrance for men from Prada. Debuting in December 2013, this popular men’s fragrance has quickly become one of the most coveted scents for men. For Father’s Day 2014, Prada has introduced a limited edition gift set which contains a 3.4 oz eau de toilette and 3.4 oz. after shave balm. This is the perfect set for Father’s Day; or any gifting opportunity for that matter!
We tested out both the eau de toilette and after shave balm from Prada Luna Rossa and loved the scent! The overall fragrance was warm with a peppery top which settled in after about twenty minutes. The heart of the fragrance is amber which is slightly sweetened by a light vanilla base. The fragrance experience is warm and offers medium strength; making it appropriate for everyday wear. Love that!
Top notes: Italian Bergamot, black pepper, fresh lavender
I wore this outfit to my son’s graduation from Kindergarten. Not only was it adorable to see my son wear a graduation cap, it was amazing to see how proud he was to graduate! He is really excited about entering first grade next year and I am excited to have all three of my kids on the same schedule!
Don’t get me wrong, as “freeing” as it is to have the kids in school, the school year can be hectic and downright stressful! In addition to driving the kids to and from school, once I pick them up after school I become a taxi driver; taking them from activity to activity. I am fortunate to be able to work from home and be there to drive them around after school. Although, I have to admit, summer vacation is just as fun and relaxing for me as it is for my kids!
I am thankful to have this fabulous drawstring bucket bag from Jill Milan’s fall 2014 collection. It is perfect to wear now and into fall; not just because of the neutral metallic hue, but because it is so practical! This bag fits everything I need for work and taking my kids from activity to activity. I can fit a few iPad’s inside, plus a novel, snacks, water bottle and everyday purse essentials. Practical + fabulously fashionable = love!
I am so thrilled about the bucket bag trend right now. Drawstring bucket bags are perfect for everyday life and they are not as heavy and bulky as totes. I am looking forward to wearing my Jill Milan bucket bag for a very long time 🙂
