7 Things I Want Right Now [in oxblood]. 
[Disclaimer: This brownish red the season’s hottest color. You may also see it referred to as wine or burgundy. Oxblood is my personal favorite.]
Rebecca Minkoff Large Affair bag —I already own 2 amazing RM bags -call me a Minkette!- and I cannot get enough. This quilted stunner is the perfect size for daily essentials, but looks amazing as an evening bag as well. The Italian leather is so buttery soft and the shape is timeless.
Alexander Wang booties —A slip on bootie is the most versatile shoe in a Fall wardrobe. I guarantee you will not run out of ways to wear them, whether with a dress, skinny jeans, maxi skirt, or wide leg pants.
All Saints leather moto jacket —A motorcycle jacket is a great change-up to a blazer, and quite a bit warmer. I really like to juxtapose a style like this one with a floaty dress to toughen up a floral print, but it looks just as polished over a slouchy sweater and black jeans. 
Covergirl lipstick in Euphoria —I love the way a berry lip looks on anyone, and this formula glides on like butter. I apply it straight from the tube, then smudge it with my finger for a berry-stained look that is on point for Fall. 
RGB nail polish  — One of my favorite “winter” polishes as a kid was Brucci Black Cherry— stolen from my mom’s collection, of course. This polish from RBG is the identical twin to my favorite shade and it’s oh-so-chic on super short, square nails.
Forever 21 Patent skinny belt — A great way to try “oxblood” for only a few dollars: belt a blazer, a dress, or a cardigan with this stylish little piece. 
Minnetonka moccasin —I would need more hands to count the City Girls I’ve seen in NYC subways switching from moccasins to stilettos before work. They are super comfy, don’t compromise your outfit the way most sneakers do, and can get stuffed into your purse without taking up too much space. I’ve been wearing Minnetonkas since I was 2, and this color update for Fall is just what I’ve been looking for.

Sun Protection.

With all of the stylish sunglasses available throughout the summer and magazine articles telling us “SPF! SPF!,” we can forget to cover our head of hair. 

I love the juxtaposition of how a woman in a hat or head scarf looks effortlessly timeless and a teensy bit retro. I say, this look for summer will always be in style.

Experimenting with color is one of my favorite things to do— in my wardrobe, with makeup, and on my nails. But, as trends come and go, one look remains the same: nude nails for summer.

Things I’m Afraid to Tell You

Meg from Mimi + Meg invited me to join the group of bloggers that are participating in wave 2 of a little rouse called “Things I’m afraid to tell you”. The idea started with Ez’s post and Jess’s post where they brought in some reality into a world where creativity and inspiration rule. Are we human? Yes. Do we make mistakes? All the time. Are we perfect? Definitely not. But, the name of the game is striving to be the best version of yourself. I hope you have some fun reading the things I’m a little afraid to tell you.
