Fashion

No matter what season it is, nothing completes my look better than stylish sunglasses. Since I live in Arizona and it’s sunny more than 300 days a year, I own a lot of sunglasses. I check out people’s shades constantly.

Fashion week is here! I didn’t get to attend this year (because I was in South America!), but I still love to browse through the photo galleries online to look at all the pretty clothes and makeup. Many times, runway makeup doesn’t really work for everyday life. It can be too avant-garde or over the top. This year, I found one makeup look I thought was worth reinventing, a two-tone eyeshadow look.

Being a part of the #GalSquad with The Red Door Spas has some major perks. Namely, I get to try out spa treatments every once in awhile. Right before I left for a two-week work trip, I had the chance to experience their Mint Julep Pedicure.

My favorite fall color trend is burgundy. I love burgundy because the jewel tone is so flattering on my olive skin tone and I think it works well on a lot of skin types. I’ve seen so many burgundy dresses online and in stores, but my absolute favorite is this a-line dress from White House Black Market (c/o).

You’ve heard it before…wearing white after labor day is not allowed. Who created this arbitrary rule away? I personally think it is a dumb rule and most fashion rules are made to be broken. Since we are only a week away, I wanted to tell you that you can and should wearing white after Labor day! There are tons of ways to make wearing white after Labor Day still feel really chic and fashion forward.

One fashion trend that I’m loving right now is wood watches and accessories. Just last week, I noticed two of my co-workers were rocking wood accessories. One guy was wearing these cool wooden sunglasses and another girl had a wood and metal cell phone case.

There are certain styles of clothing, like shift dresses, which I always put into the category: NOT FOR ME. Maybe it’s because I’m in my 30s or maybe its just because I’ve become more confident in my style choices, I’m now more willing to try styles I used to think were not for me. Case in point, this shift dress.

There are a lot of great summer sales happening right now. It is the perfect time to find great pieces you can transition into your fall wardrobe, like maxi dresses. Unlike a lot of summer clothing, maxi dresses are a style you can wear year-round. For one, the full-length adds much-needed coverage for the cooler months, but the light-weight materials are also airy for the warmer months.

On my recent trip to Italy, there was one item I knew I had to take with me. These white sneakers were my travel staple. Why are white sneakers so important? Well, because they literally go with everything.
