Custo Barcelona was one of the more “amusing” shows I attended this season, although I’m left pondering where exactly one would wear his ready-to-wear collection. (Say that three times!) Nevertheless, it was a treat to view his Skittles-colored creations from the first row. Thankfully, F-Week is officially over in New York. Next up, Milan & Paris!

Loved the kimono derivative!

Fall has arrived! As Fashion Week kicks off in New York, we are all about looking forward. While many of us relish the thrill of changing trends in fashion, I am personally celebrating significant life changes happening before my eyes.

I have been hustling overtime at my (amazing!) new job while juggling wedding planning, marriage planning, and homemaking projects. Though these are all intense transition processes, they carry an abundance of excitement and assurance in steadfast commitments to come.

True personal style lays in key investment pieces that will last long after fleeting trends fly on and off the runway. They grow in value as you cherish them, and live to tell stories of your adventures. The same logic applies to all other commitments made in life. So, know yourself. Plan carefully, choose wisely. Invest in the quality, structure, and authenticity that will withstand the tests of changing times.

Break out the bubbly - Here’s to embracing a wonderful season of changes!

The office I've lived in these past few months.

This month, Benefit launches Posietint, a poppy-colored lip and cheek stain.

Instead of giving a reddish wash like its sister, Benetint, Posietint delivers a natural pink color to your cheeks and lips. The liquid formula blends into cheeks as a pretty petal-pink flush that is just right for summer.  

The great thing about stains is the fact that they do not melt off in the summer heat. More on melt-proof summer makeup coming soon!
