Although Summer is over, I'm still carrying two trends that I loved over into Fall: Chevron and the bubble necklace. Instead of bright turquoise, I decided to go for red. I think it pairs well with the stark black and white dress I scored at Forever 21, and this definitely reads more Fall. I'm not typically a fan of super flowy dresses. They have a tendency of swallowing me up in too much fabric. But for some reason, I like this one. I could wear this dress on so many different occasions.

 

In other news, Summer sun and ocean water have taken a toll on my brunette locks. I have the ombre look going on without even trying! I'm going back to a rich brown today, and I can't wait! I've strongly considered going lighter, but it just doesn't feel right at the moment. My main goal for the next few months is to get my hair in tip top condition so that it looks healthy, soft, and shiny for the wedding next year. *Fingers crossed*

Too Faced Candlelight Glow

I'm a sucker for highlighters. No, not the kind you write with in neon yellow, but the kind you carefully place on areas of your face that you want to... well, highlight! After finding Dior's Amber Diamond, I'm not sure what compelled me to purchase this one from Too Faced. I walked by a display of them at Macy's, and they immediately caught my attention.

I think the reason why I love this Candlelight Glow is because it has that same silky texture of Amber Diamond. It provides just enough of a sheen to highlight the tops of my cheekbones ever so softly. When the light catches its tiny shimmer particles (not glitter), it really smooths the appearance of your skin. I wish I had swatches for you, but I just couldn't capture its beauty no matter what lighting or camera setting I tried. One side of the powder is a white gold, the other a golden pink that picks up different colors, almost like an aurora borealis crystal. When swirled together, the two sides blend beautifully into a warm golden sheen. It's very, very flattering and pretty. I think it would work quite well on most skin tones.

If you happen upon Candlelight Glow, I highly suggest swatching it for yourself! Dior is still my number one, but this comes in a close second.


Reminder: My Stella & Dot online trunk show is still happening here

I love how flattering this skirt from J.Crew is! It cinches in the waist, and you don't even need a belt. The pretty navy color was the perfect backdrop for fun shoes in a shade that matched my lipstick. I wore this Saturday night to a comedy show, where I proceeded to laugh my head off for two hours straight! After a rough week, I needed it!
