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!

I love a breezy skirt for warm, summer days. Since June is here, I have trying to wear my summer wardrobe, despite the fog. When I bought this skirt, I needed to wear it ASAP! This skirt not only offers lightweight fabric, and a breezy silhouette, it has a pretty, eyelet design around the scarf-like hem. Love that!

The fog the past couple of weeks has been unreal. To combat the cold, I have been topping off my summer wardrobe with this denim jacket. It is a must-have in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have always owned a denim jacket; ever since I was in middle school! Denim is the right weight for foggy days in the spring, summer, and fall. I really think it would be difficult to live without a denim jacket! There is no viable alternative for casual, cool, foggy days.

Have you been trying to wear your summer wardrobe these past couple of weeks? Or have you been sticking to your early spring clothing?

*If you are interested in ordering the skirt, I am 5’4″ and wearing a size 6. You can see where the hemline hits me, versus the model.
