Last night I had the exciting privilege to be invited to the Louis Vuitton Holiday Celebration! So many wonderful new things to see and a gift wrapping station to make sure everything was perfect and personalized for your LV gift! I had a blast!! The new thing I was most excited about was the "Masters LV X Koons Collection"!! I didn't know this until last night but each piece has about the painting and the artist on one side and about designer Jeff Koons on the other! I think my absolute FAVORITE piece (and I'm shocked I didn't leave last night with it) is the first one on my Blogg (below). The clutch feels like you are carrying a priceless piece of art under your arm! I love the art that Mr. Koons chose in his designs, for instance the placement on the Manet Keepall! The colors are just amazing! I think the Neverfull is definitly the best bang for your buck but if it's still out of your price range, Koons' iconic rabbit Bag Charm is the perfect way...

Saturday was the Christmas Market (Christkindlmarkt) at the Germania Society! I knew it was going to be rainy and muddy so my Sperry Duck Boots were a must! I've had zero regrets in purchasing these! It was a lot warmer than I anticipated so I had a coat but it was way too warm. I opted for this cute furry sweater vest (it is weird saying those words together, like an 80s flash back, but it worked out great and I got a ton of compliments so looks like the sweater vest is on the rise)! This color combo is hard to find now so I included a few links! https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/1935841?cm_mmc=feeds-_-adlucent-_-google-_-pla&utm_source=adlucent&utm_medium=feeds&utm_content=google&utm_campaign=pla&sid=545650&aid=%5BADL%5D%20%5BPLA%5D%20%5BShopping%5D%20-%20Categories%20-%20Brand%20-%20%5BDesktop%5D&kwid=productads-adid%5E93310058797-device%5Ec-plaid%5E273472413012-sku%5E11553314-adType%5EPLA&color=TAN-GREEN https://www.dickssporti...

   I learned a lot from my last trip. Packing light is an art! I am looking forward to our next trip in December to Florida! Here are a few tips and tricks for your next weekend voyage! So the leggings definitely were a good thing to pack; simple black leggings. I wore them on the plane and then again to go out to the bar with a thin black top (the perfect "I just got off a plane and even though I'm tired I want to party" look. I packed a pair of flat dressy sandals that I wore with the outfit, I also wore them to the pool, the winery and could have worn them to the airport because they are flat and comfy to walk in. I recommend these from Macy’s: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/american-rag-madora-braided-gladiator-flat-sandals-created-for-macys?ID=4616887&CategoryID=17570&selectedSize=&swatchColor=Gold#fn=SANDAL_TYPE%3DFlat Sandal%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D304%26ruleId%3D78|BS%26slotId%3D4 https://www.macys.com/shop/product/american-rag-kris...

I'm super excited about my "Blonde for Fall" look but some days you need a toasty hat to keep warm! I found this "messy bun beanie" from Lush Fashion Lounge and I love it! I can still show off my blonde locks and stay warm!                                                                      Here's a link to my EXACT beanie and a link to all the color options! They are a ton it was hard to decide but in the end the "black confetti" brought the best of all the options! https://shop.lushfashionlounge.com/products/cc-confetti-messy-bun-beanie-black https://shop.lushfashionlounge.com/search?type=product&q=messy+bun+beanie

I'm so excited about the Blonde for Fall Trend!! When the leaves begin to change and the days get shorter and darker it seems everyone dyes their hair darker, traditionally including yours truly. But this Fall I decided to brighten up the dark days of Fall and Winter and go Blonde!! A new idea, or so I thought lol. Apparently it's a new thing for F/W 2017 to go light! (I had no idea but I love it!) https://therighthairstyles.com/winter-hair-colors/ Here are some of my other favorite bright things for Fall. Even though I love the contrast of my blonde hair with black clothing, so I have a feeling a lot of black attire might be in my future lol. This looks so snugly for Winter! I desperately need to go sweater dress shopping! https://www.lulus.com/products/weekend-in-vail-navy-blue-off-the-shoulder-sweater-dress/501262.html You can never have too many black bags...right?! This is definitely a classic!! https://www.lulus.com/products/wing-woman-black-handba...

So after my trip I found a few fun items needed for poolside... Turkish Beach Towel from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071J1RPS7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Inflatabull: https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Inflat-Bull-Inflatable-Pool/dp/B01KUL0CWY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506533254&sr=8-3&keywords=inflatable+bull Ice Cream Sandwiches: Choose a cookie and your favorite ice cream, one scoop and close with another cookie. It's great because as you lick the ice cream you can mash the cookies and it makes it easier to eat the ice cream in the middle

          Loving this bright and sunny sweater for Fall! I found it at Marshalls last week and it was perfect for Sunday Brunch/Wine Trail with my mom! It's been slightly cool in the evening but hot during the day, I knew we'd be out all day and didn't want to pack a small suitcase to change my clothes, so this worked out well. It's heavier but wide woven so you get good airflow. I know I shouldn't be jumping the gun on sweaters but I just couldn't help myself! I wanted to pair it with a wool hat but again it's just too warm, so this woven headband is a perfect in between! And yes, again with the Sperry Duck Boots. Absolutely my favorite find for Fall!!
