The Prettiest Summer Dress

jpg (13).jpg

Late afternoon summer parties. Beautiful outdoor setting with great friends, delicious Texas style bar-b-Que and wonderful bluegrass music. Does it get any better? I think not. This is the most perfect summer chic dress! It is by Catherine Malandrino and I bought it online at Stein Mart a few months ago. So sad they are closing ALL stores and their online shopping site as well.

It is made of a lovely fabric and it is lined. My favorite details are the elegant off shoulder style and the lovely embroidery throughout. So flirty and feminine.

It is truly easy to wear with a gathered elastic waist (perfect for that second helping of peach cobbler!)

I also like that it is not too long. Tripping over a too long maxi is no fun. Trust me.

A pair of white flat sandals and fabulous earrings from my BFF Mila and a few David Yurman bracelets finish off the look. Oh, and my favorite sunglasses by Tom Ford.

Because it was outdoors I chose my favorite powder foundation by Laura Geller. But first let us begin with my daytime beauty potions and lotions.

Everyone should have a potent Vitamin C serum in their arsenal. This one by Dr. Perricone is one of my favorites. And it smell wonderful with a lovely citrus scent.

I start any foundation with a good make-up primer. I love this one because it has a hint of pearl and it feels very cooling on the skin. Plus, it works! It most definitely helps keep your make up from fading or budging. Laura Geller.

I have used this Estee Lauder eye concentrate for years. Fast absorbing and not greasy at all!

This is a terrific daytime moisturizer. It absorbs quickly but your skin (mine is dry-ish) feels moisturized. Hooray! Korres

Don’t forget the sunscreen! This one is very lightweight and no oily feeling at all. Coola.

This is a very reliable and lightweight under eye concealer and all around champ. It offers light to medium coverage and it works beautifully with her powder foundation. I love this baked balance and glow foundation. It is well pigmented and gives your skin a lit from within glow that is beautiful without looking like a disco ball. I mean, who wants to glow THAT much? Laura Geller.

I also used the palette shown above. It has everything I need and it is great for traveling. Although discontinued try looking for similar palettes that work while traveling. Also, when put together in this fashion you can keep the guesswork out of having to decide if colors are complimentary. Laura Geller.

My favorite summer time lipstick in Crystal Baby from Estee Lauder.

The BEST summer bronzer. Period! Bronze and Brighten by Laura Geller.

I cannot believe summer is nearly over! I love the warm temps and all the outdoors get togethers that we have been lucky enough to enjoy.

Wishing you a wonderful Labor Day!

Hot Summer Days...Looking Cool

P1010779.jpg

The dog days of summer are here!  Baseball games, arts festivals, margaritas on the patio, you get the idea.

This oh so cool outfit will take you places AND keep you looking fresh.  The soft scalloped hem top is from Catherine Malandrino at Macy's as are the soft cotton drawstring waist slacks.  Add some statement earrings (from Wal-Mart!) and my favorite straw bag by Michael Kors. Sunnies by Gucci at Neiman Marcus.

Stay stylish, beautiful and COOL!

Catherine Malandrino Jumpsuit to Love!

A jumpsuit is so on trend and this one is outstanding.  It is by Catherine Malandrino and I purchased at Neiman Marcus Last Call. Love that store!  So many goodies, so little time!  This one is a tone on tone blue stripe with white. I love blue!  This one is flowy and just so stunning.

The pants flow beautifully and it has an elastic waist and neckline.  There are bows at the sleeves and is so very comfortable .  Oh yes, pockets too!  #WINNING The entire jumpsuit is lined.  I added more definition to the waist with a black belt that blends well.

When I wear silver or white gold jewelry I love to grab these sunnies by Dolce & Gabbana also at Neiman Marcus.  This is a great girls night out outfit, don't you think?  But I have also worn this to a fabulous late afternoon, under a gorgeous tent children's birthday party.  Versatility and comfort...all while looking FAB.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  If you haven't already please subscribe to my blog.  That way you will stay informed  and inspired!

Happy Weekend and stay beautiful,
