I have been LIVING in this LBD–date night, girls night, every night!

My favorite book of all time. I love to re-read it every chance I get. “Trusting yourself means living out what you already know to be true.” -Cheryl Strayed

P.S. Dear Sugar Radio is the best for long car rides, long walks, and just about any other time you feel like it.

Has anyone else been wondering what the difference between sweatpants and joggers are? I’m pretty sure the only difference is that joggers are socially acceptable to wear out and about, whereas sweatpants are frowned upon. These are basically the only thing I wore in Disneyland. And yes, I call them joggers.

Something else I can’t stop wearing: this scarf. It’s soft, warm, and burgundy. Need I say more?

I have found the holy grail of skin care products. Tarte’s Maracuja Oil is a miracle. Acne? Cured. Dry skin? Gone. Glowing? Yes. You’re welcome.

Stay tuned for new obsessions–they change every week.

Fall

“That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain.”
― Ray Bradbury

I LOVE Fall. In the spirit of things, I thought I would share a few of my favorite things that I associate with my favorite season.

Bronzer

Oversized Sweater

Big Bowls of Hot Chocolate and Chai at Zazie

Dark Shades of Lipstick

A New Book (preferably read by a fire)

I recently cut my own hair (not the first time…)! And then I went to the most amazing salon to get it fixed…and here is the finished product! I had one of the best salon experiences at Cetana Salon down on the Embarcadero.

1. The treatment: like a queen

2. The quality: incomparable

3. Learning experience: off the charts

Adrian was my hair stylist (I hope I spelled her name right!). She listened and really understood what I hated about my hair and what I wanted the outcome to be. She fixed my fringe, recommended an amazing new product, and taught me a new way to dry my hair (which I will do a separate post on). I finally feel like my hair will begin to grow out in a style that I’m happy with.

FIVE STARS!

This is the product Adrian picked out for me! Over time, it will tame my hair in a way that makes it much more manageable–especially when natural. Oh, and did I mention they offer a complimentary bang trim between my next cut?!

Aside from my hair dreams…this is another pretty little thing to add to the list! Benefit Fake Up isn’t just an under eye concealer, but also a much needed hydrator (especially during finals week). 😦

Navy Fleet by Sally Hansen is my latest nail color obsession. It goes with everything. I swear.

This is number one on my summer reading list! Very excited.

And last but certainly not least, my new favorite quilted bomber by Gap. I simply cannot take it off…
