This Alexis Bittar Matte Gold Berry Bangle is my new fall favorite!

The matte gold is gorgeous for fall and the strong texture and chunky shape is beautifully brightened with a whimsical sprinkling of color.

LOVE!

Pink Sugar Luxury Extract

pink-sugar-luxury-extract
Sometimes when the air is cool, I find myself reaching for Pink Sugar’s sweet, sugary fragrance – a total guilty pleasure!

Upon initial application, the scent can be cloying but the drydown on me is almost always surprisingly sophisticated – sweet, musky with just a hint of oriental spice.

I’m curious if this spendier, more sophisticated rendition of the fragrance offers more of the sophistication with less of the sticky sweetness?

Pink Sugar Luxury Extract is available from Nordstrom for $95.

Daily Style: Tt Mates Underpinnings

tt-mates

Last week while I was in New York for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week I stopped by the Sephora/Nintendo suite where Tt Mates Underpinnings were on display.

This was the first time I had seen this brand and instantly fell in love with the soft cotton tanks and sweetly illustrated gift boxes. There’s a nice selection to choose from, with each essential item able to be worn alone or as layered pieces.

Visit TtCollection.com for available styles and retail locations.
