Okay, summer may almost be officially over, but before I bust out the knee high boots and scarf, I wanted to wear a fun find I snagged here at the last moment. This pretty blue dress is a softer, less-expensive version of those bandage dresses that every woman having a flat-tummy day loves. I love the ombrè shades of blue and sweetheart neckline…and all for under $20!
The weather in Texas has cooled down a little (okay, not much), but I’ll use any excuse to spend more time outdoors. Rather than take my embarrassingly old beach towel or blanket that my dogs have torn to shreds to the park, I discovered Bonita Beach roundies. Isn’t this the cutest beach towel you’ve ever seen?! Roundies were spotted on Australian beaches last summer, sparking the trend for a round towel. The colors and patterns are super cool, and it’s easy to roll it up and take it with you to the park, the pool, concerts, yoga and meditation, bonfires…you name it. I chose the Mediterranean Mandala style, but if classic black and white is more your thing, you should check out the Congo Peacock. Besides a great thing to buy yourself, it’s a good gift for the outdoors lover in your life.
I also wanted to share a few of my favorite cool toned beauty products:
L’Orèal Colour Richè Eye Shadow in Avant Garde Azur (these are the best blues…especially smudged lightly around the eyes)
L’Orèal Voluminous Mascara Primer (can boost the length and volume of your mascara…just make sure you have a lash comb so it doesn’t get too spidery on you)
Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in Beauty Nap (this Gray Moss color is a great lead-in color for fall)
Blues aren’t out of the question for fall…cobalt is always in style, and of course, navy is classic. But get those cool tones in now while you still can!
