‘Tis the season for scents! When warm, summer weather arrives, I love to wear scented body lotion which is subtle, and offers just enough fragrance without being overwhelming. My favorite scents in the summer include coconut, vanilla, and Colleen Rothschild’s Tahitian Monoi; it is absolutely fabulous!
There are two main reasons scented body cream is far superior to just wearing perfume during the warm summer months. The subtle scent is perfect when perspiration happens, and it will happen, plus, body cream helps restore dry skin from summer sun and fun. That’s two birds with one stone! Love that!
My two favorite brands are Colleen Rothschild, and Laura Mercier, but the other brands I am showing you are good too. Colleen Rothschild and Laura Mercier are the ones I reach for the most often. They have beautiful scents plus offer the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I love being outdoors during the summer months, so a good body cream is essential.

What is your favorite scented body cream for summer 2023?
The Dior summer 2023 nail polish collection is here! Love! This fabulous nail polish collection is filled with four beautiful colors which are perfect for the summer season. Bring on the warm weather!
Dior is giving us a little bit of everything this summer season. There is a bold white polish, a dessert bronze, a campy dark, sparkling blue, and a classic summer orange creamsicle hue. There is a color for everyone in this nail polish collection for summer.
So, without further ado, here are what the Dior nail polish colors for summer 2023 look like, and how they go on your nails.
Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Jasmin
White nail polish is always hard. Every time a designer or brand introduces a white nail polish into their collection, I want to love it. There is something easy and breezy about white nail polish in the warm summer months. Unfortunately, there is not a perfect white polish on the market. I have to say, this one from Dior is better than most, but it will still be somewhat streaky after two coats. If I had gone for a third coat, I may have found perfection, but I wasn’t that ambitious.
I think Dior Jasmin will look fabulous on toes this summer since it is a neutral hue which will work with any color of footwear. On the hands, white nail polish is more visible, so if there are any streaks, people will see them. If you want white polish, this is a good one to get. It is the least streaky of the ones on the market right now.
Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Rivage
How pretty is this color! Love! Dior Rivage is a fabulous orange creamsicle hue which is perfect for the summer months. It can be worn right now in the spring season too. This is a cream polish which goes on perfectly in two coats. I look forward to wearing Dior Rivage this summer when temperatures warm up a bit more.
Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Solar Bronze
I am a sucker for a good metallic nail polish, and Dior Solar Bronze nail polish does not disappoint! This hue evokes a feeling of being on the beach when the weather is perfect or walking along dessert sands; pick your vibe. It is the perfect twist to a neutral for the summer months. I am wearing it right now as I type this. Solar Bronze by Dior goes on easily in two coats, with one base coat. Love that!
Dior nail polish summer 2023 | Dior Eden-Roc
Blue nail polish is always my weakness, and Dior hit a home run this summer 2023 season. Dior Edon-Roc is a dark blue metallic nail polish which glides on smoothly in two coats, with one base coat. I am in love with this color! Edon-Roc will definitely be on my rotation this summer. It is such a beautiful hue! Love!
Well, I guess you can tell I am in love with the Dior summer 2023 nail polish collection. It really has a color for everyone. I will have a hard time deciding which color to use every time I want to paint my nails! That is a good problem to have in the scheme of things.

What do you think of the new summer 2023 nail polish colors from Dior? Do you have a favorite, or are you loving it all, just like me?
Hello 2023! With the new year, we have new trends in handbags to covet and enjoy. Love that!
This year, the handbag trends are sensible, chic, and easy to wear everyday. While one runway trend seems to be hitting store shelves, I have yet to see it hit the streets outside of fashion week; that would be the large, garbage bag sized hobo trend. The hobo bags people are actually wearing are medium or small. You don’t need a bag large enough to fit a Golden Retriever. Dogs should walk anyway. haha
In 2023, we are looking at a few new trends in handbags, as well as a few popular, continuing trends from last year. If you already hopped on the hobo trend, you are in good shape! Hobo bags are still hot this year. Look for moon shapes and small or medium sizes. If you want to rock the oversized hobo, be my guest. I just warn you, those extra large hobo bags are an easy way to lose to your car keys! I’ve said my peace.
Shoulder bags are still hot. The strap can be any size you are comfortable carrying, so if 1970s-style long straps are your thing, you’re in luck! If you prefer short straps, or pochette length straps, you’re in luck too! Anything goes this year when it comes to strap length. Hopefully that means you have the perfect bag in your closet already. If not, it is time to invest in a classic shoulder bag that will last for years.
Top handle bags in mini, small, and medium sizes are hot this year! As you know, this is a classic look that is always in style, but in 2023, it is on fire. If you don’t have a top handle bag which is medium or smaller, it is time to invest!
Do you love bucket bags? They are still hot! This continuing trend has added a twist recently. You can rock a classic bucket bag or drawstring bag; or you can modernize with a top handle bucket bag. This is an emerging IT bag look you might want to jump on.
Straw bags, and bags made from natural fabric will start trending in the spring; and will continue to trend throughout the summer. If your natural or straw bag from last year is in good shape, fabulous! If not, start looking for a new one. They are trickling into stores as we speak, but should be plentiful as we move into February and March.
Wondering what color is hot this year? Green bags are still trending, and metallic bags in any hue are also trending. For 2023, denim bags are hotter than hot, and are looking to be the IT fabric of the year. If you love trendy, denim bags are your thing! Also, neon hues are an emerging handbag trend if you want a notice-me bag. If not, neutrals and black are still hot and chic for 2023. What I love about neutrals and black is that they make the bag an investment which can be worn year after year. I love a good investment bag! Also, black, and neutral-colored bags have higher resale value if you are thinking of selling a bag after a few seasons. Thoughts to ponder. . .
Did you buy a funky chain bag in the past few years like I did? Well, we can all rest easy knowing chunky chains in both metal and resin are still hot! Rock that chain bag in 2023! If you love the trend, but haven’t snapped up a chain bag yet, look for chain details, resin chains, and smaller metal chains as we move into the new year.
