On My Radar: New This Fall

{ Via: Barneys ~ The Window }

Inspiration for today's post came from a fabulous edit on Barney's The Window: 15 Impeccable Fall Outfits Styled By Editors From All Over The World.  It's a great guide of what to wear over these next few weeks, as the sun sets on Summer and transitions to Fall. Today, along with Barney's outfits, I present seven new products and styles that are on my radar for Fall. More to follow in the coming days.

Gabrielle 

Chanel does not design a new fragrance every day. Up until now, Coco Mademoiselle , is my signature and favorite fragrance. But I can't wait to give this scent a sniff. 

"The Gabrielle Chanel fragrance was created around four points of light from four white flowers." Sounds very interesting. 

Neiman Marcus

Now is a  good time to try it. With every $125 Beauty and Fragrance Purchase, receive a terrific tote and beauty samples.

Gucci Decor

Gucci debuted their first ever collection of decor and interior items. You'll find eclectic furniture, furnishings, and small porcelain goods. See it all at

Bergdorf Goodman 

Statement Sweaters

You'll still want to make a statement with your sleeves this Fall. The all cotton Damsel Pullover is under $100 and looks like a million!

Free People

Stirrups & Kitten Heels

How to wear the comeback pants of the season over Fall's sleekest shoes. Really? I am not hating this look. Nothing makes your legs look longer and leaner than a stirrup pant. And a kitten heel is definitely always my heel of choice. Take a look and see if you agree that this is the perfect pairing. 

Shopbop

Denim Debut At Serena & Lily

This Fall, denim is on fire for fashion. Turns out that it also is an unexpected neutral, that gives your decor mix more depth. It's a versatile room anchor. See the new collection of laid back luxe looks at

Serena & Lily

Red and Ready For Fall

Givenchy's Draped Long-Sleeve Mock-Neck Dress is a standout in the color of the season! Talk about red hot!

Neiman Marcus

Farmacy Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer with Echinacea GreenEnvy™

I became aware of this newish (Fall of 2015) beauty line via " Ms. Shop This, " who always has the latest and greatest at her finger tips. I am excited to try their newest product, Honey Drop, exclusive to Sephora. I am obsessed with the Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask. So I know that I am sure to love the Honey Drop, too. And those Lip Blooms are fabulous! Farmacy products are a synthesis of nature and science, non toxic, and never tested on animals.

What's New In My Beauty Bag

{ Via: Etsy }

Every once in a while we girls need a maintenance day. You know, a day to clean up our act, polish our toes, cover the roots, shape the brows, powder our noses. I am having one of those days, and have "beauty" on the brain. So today I share five new items in my beauty bag. Each one has become an integral part of my daily routine. What's your new beauty obsession?

Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush
I can't imagine life without this brush. After 3 months of use, I can highly recommend it for foundation. It was the Winner of Allure magazine's 'Best of Beauty' Award for Best Brush for Foundation, 2016. It is the softest brush I have ever known. It is dense, too. What I like most is how it feels on the face and the fact that it does not absorb much of  my foundation product. My old brushes did. I hated to see the waste. I give this brush 5 Stars!
Nordstrom  

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue
It's a tinted hydrating gel cream. In other words, it is a BB Cream, CC Cream and Tinted Moisturizer all in one.  It also won Allure Magazine's "Best Of Beauty" Award for best Mineral Foundation. It's free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, dye, and petrochemicals. I wear it under my foundation, and it allows me to wear about 50% less foundation. This is what I like to put on in the morning, upon waking, so I don't frighten the world! It has a bit of radiance (not much) but enough to diffuse lines and wrinkles. I love the soft focus that it offers my complexion. The color natural is what I wear for my totally light beige skintone.
Nordstrom

Mally Ultimate Performance See The Light Concealer
I bought mine after reading this article in NY Mag. Concealers are tricky, and now I use two. This is the newest concealer to be added to my regime. The other is Laura Mercier's High Coverage Concealer. You don't hear much about this product but it is fabulous! Mally's though is my favorite. I use it on top of my foundation for "brightening" the under eye. And boy does it ever! A dab will do ya. Please click the following link to watch the video and see how Mally applies this dream cream in an inverted triangle. I wear Fair but plan to change to Light for Summer. Get the set at
QVC

Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Strobe Lighting Powders
Available in four illuminating shades, and designed to sculpt the face with light. This is my finishing touch to my makeup routine. The powder is so very fine that it instantly becomes invisible. I call it complexion candlelight. Like a candle, it casts a soft focus where you place it. Mr. Shop This, noticed something was different the first time I used it. Score! I use the shade called incandescent, but I plan to try all four shades. Love!
Nordstrom 

Farmacy Beauty Sleep Tight
Called a face lift in a jar (that may be a bit of an exaggeration) but it is a great product. After just one use, you will notice that your skin is firmer, pores are tighter, and the complexion is brighter. I love the fact that it is without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is also free of formaldehyde and artificial coloring, which is so important.  The color and consistency is unique. It is green, naturally, because it is plant based. The scent is green, as well. Very fresh. It is so emollient, almost like a gelee, a tiny amount, like a fingertip, is all I need for my normal not dry skin. Watch a video at

Exfoliate! Get A Fresh Face For Fall

Let's start Fall with a fresh face, shall we? One of the best ways to get a clear complexion is to exfoliate. It is something I love to do. The process is simple, takes very little effort, yet makes a big difference. I love the way my skin looks and feels after exfoliating. For me, it is all about the youthful glow. Who doesn't want that? Then there is the softness factor....like a baby's bottom.  If you aren't exfoliating yet, why not give your face a fresh start for Fall? 

HERE: Eight Tried & True Exfoliators 

Kate Somerville Exfolikate
From the skin guru to the stars, Kate Somerville. This is my all time favorite exfoliating product. This is a serious exfoliation with fruit enzymes. My skin feels smoother, brighter and more hydrated after just one use. It takes only two minutes to work, too. I do not have sensitive skin, and had no problem at all with this product. If you do have touchy skin, there is also a version for you.
Kate Somerville

P.S. the ExfoliKate Cleanser is great, but it alone, won't give you the same results as the ExfoliKate. They work well together.

Laura Mercier
Flawless Skin Face Polish 
This is a lovely product. It is extremely gentle and very creamy. It doesn't take much to do the job. Purifying microbeads (you barely feel them) remove dead skin cells, and emoilents soften the skin. Perfect for daily use.
Nordstrom  

Farmacy New Day Gentle Exfoliating Grains
Ms. Shop This treated me to this product last Christmas. Oh my gosh, I just loved it. The scent, if any, was that of baby powder, or something very pleasing with a soft aroma. The natural ingredients are good for you without all of the chemicals that are not.  Read the reviews at Sephora, where it is exclusively sold.
Sephora 

Fresh Beauty Sugar Face Polish
The first "scrub" that I remember trying. It was good then and still is. First of all, it is packed with good for your skin ingredients. In fact, it smells so good, you just may want to eat it! If you have been wanting to try it, now is the time. Nordstrom's has a free gift with purchase of Fresh Beauty products.
Nordstrom  

Clarisonic Mia
This is my secret weapon to my best skin possible. I have been using it for several years, thanks to my friend, Mollie. It truly is a gift that keeps on giving. Nothing, not even a face cloth can cleanse and exfoliate better than this magical machine. 
Clarisonic 

Erno Laszlo White Marble Treatment Bar
If you are a soap and water girl like me, you are going to love this soap. I have long been a devotee of Laszlo's Sea Mud Soap until my Neiman Marcus beauty expert introduced me to this.  Love, love, love it! Read all about it at
Neiman Marcus 

Philosophy the Micro Delivery Peel

A two step process that is totally worth it. First of all it smells like fresh squeezed OJ....then there are the instant brightening results. This award winning product does what it promises to do. I haven't had it in a while. I think it is time to try again.

Philosophy

DIY Honey Facial Scrub

If you are a purist, or just can't pay $30 and up for exfoliating, try this. I just did last week. It smells considerably better than most scrubs, and you can actually eat this one. I must admit, I did not use raw honey. Next time, I will. It worked great!
