Fall has arrived and ’tis the season for pumpkins, colorful leaves, crisp air and boots! Fabulous boots! There is nothing that screams “fall” more than a comfortable, fabulous pair of boots to keep your feet warm and add pizazz to an ensemble.

This autumn 2013 season I am in love with my new pair of Naya “Apollonia” boots. These boots are so comfortable, it is a shame to take them off at the end of the day! I can walk for miles in them and feel good about every step I take. Everything about Naya is feel-good. The company is dedicated to making the world a better place through environmentally sound materials and production. Love that!

I have been a huge fan of Naya Shoes for several years now and have acquired quite the collection! Naya’s shoes and boots are excellent quality and last season after season. Every time I wear a pair of Naya Shoes from a past season people will ask me if they are new! They maintain their shape, color and fit over the years making them not only eco-chic but investment worthy!

I love how Naya’s “Apollonia” boots look with this season’s coated jeans; as well as regular jeans. They also look amazing with graphic prints, leopard print and fall’s hot leather trend! I am looking forward to wearing the “Apollonia” with a variety of different outfits throughout the season; and again next year!

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick is one of my favorite lipstick lines. The lipstick is a sheer gloss which adds a soft color to the lips. “Rose” is one of the new colors from Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2013 collection which debuts in October. “Rose” is a beautiful and classic lipstick color which I find to be chic and the perfect lipstick to keep in my purse at all times. It goes with everything! I can definitely see myself wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo “Rose” in any season. The hue plays well with warm and cool colors. Love that!

One of the fabulous features of Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick is the moisture. This lipstick moisturizes! This is fabulous because instead of using a lip balm and then topping it off with a lipstick, you can wear Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick alone! It moisturizes your lips, does not cake and adds the perfect sheer color to lips. Perfection!

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo Lipstick is priced at $35 and can be found online here and here. I know you will love it as much as I do!


Dolce & Gabbana Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume review

Dolce & Gabbana has created a fabulous new mascara for the fall 2013 season. Due to hit store shelves by October 2013, Dolce & Gabbana’s Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume collection is expected to be the ultimate way to achieve beautiful, full lashes-and it is! Love this!

Passioneyes mascara is designed with natural ingredients including beeswax and tapioca which leave lashes conditioned and flexible.  This is a really important feature for me. I am allergic to the majority of mascara’s on the market. Mascara’s which claim to be natural or hypo-allergenic still cause severe irritation in my eyes. This has been a problem I have faced since I was in high school-which is (cough cough) over twenty years. I have always tried new mascara’s only to end up with an allergic reaction. It is very frustrating! Thankfully, for the first time in years, I am able to wear mascara! Thank you Dolce & Gabbana!

Dolce & Gabbana’s new Passioneyes Mascara has a curved application brush which instantly lengthens and curls lashes. I loved how full my eye-lashes looked after applying it! I applied Passioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume in “Terra” at 8am in the morning and the mascara lasted all day! There wasn’t any flaking, clumping or irritation. Love that!

I am so excited to have discovered a mascara I can actually wear! I am thrilled with not only how my lashes look, but that Dolce & Gabbana’s natural formula can be worn by me! I am not allergic to it! I will definitely be wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s mascara for many years to come J

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passsioneyes Duo Mascara Curl and Volume is available in three colors; Nero, Terra and Blue Indaco. The mascara is priced at $32 and can be found online here.
