Capri Chic:

{ Via Vogue }

They're back!  I am not sure that capris ever really disappeared, but they certainly weren't totally trending in a bit. Now I see them everywhere.  If you are going for chic, black is the color to choose.  They are narrow and just covering the knee. Not everyone can wear the look. If you can, grab some kitten heels and go!

This week flew by just like all of the others in August. The Labor Day Sales have already begun. You'll find a few featured here. More to come next week. We are going with brown as our color theme today. And though it never has been my favoite color, it's big for fall, and it is growing on me. Enjoy these links, articles, and fun finds.

Candle Chic: This Etsy candle maker was featured in the Host Gift post earlier this week. I adore their sculptural and affordable designs! Do yourself a favor and take a look at their shop, Marney Ash, from New York.

Tennis Anyone? Town & Country Mag has the Ultimate Guide To Attending the U.S. Open. How exciting would that be? By the way, I followed their link, and there are plenty of tickets available.

For your outdoor entertaining: This Round White & Bamboo Melamine Platter is a steal for under $14! Pick it up at Crate & Barrel.

Head Scarves for fall are a thing! And why not?  Queen Elizabeth was often seen wearing one for casual events. I think it is another chic way to accessorize. Anthropologie is offering a set of two for $38. Pick your prints.

Bloomies on Sale: Buy more and save more at Bloomingdale's this weekend. Save Up to 25% sitewide. Worth a look.

From Transplants to Tints: Your Guide To Fuller Brows: By the way, I swear by MAC'S Big Boost Fiber Gel. It tames and colors at the same time. It's all about that brush. I use shade FLING for my highlighted blond hair. It is a tad darker than the sample looks

Cheers to the weekend and this sale bar cart. It's a little bit funky and very mid-century modern. A great size for small spaces, too. On sale for $319.

Does Mama need a brand new bag? This leather handbag shop on Etsy offers beautiful bags for the fraction of the cost. And the styles you won't see anywhere else. I LOVE the first bag shown.

Fun with stripes! One of my favorite designers for fun and unique styles is Simon Miller. He is all about brown for the new season.....even with peek-a-boo cutouts!

Sweater Weather: It will be here soon enough. Found this very feminine Bow Cardigan at Neiman Marcus. Isn't it so pretty? 

Save 25% sitewide at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics!  Her All Nudes Eyeshadow Palette is perfection for a natural eye look!

Bag "it". Top handles and crossbody bags are trending for fall. This Cult Gaia Kazia Nano bag goes both ways. I may like my tee shirts basic, but I want a bag that stands out. This one is outstanding! Save 20% at Bloomingdales.

Have A Beautiful Weekend, Friends!

So, did you watch the Met Gala Runway?  Of course I did. The first person I saw was Anna Wintour.  Her beautiful brooch was the perfect finishing touch. Then I noticed so many others.

Spring Trend: Modern Pearls

 

Cozy Up In A Chic Cape or Playful Poncho

{Via: Natori}

Vogue tells us that a luxe cape is one of the fall trends to follow. The word "luxe" must be short for expensive, because most of them are just that. I have found a few that won't totally break the bank.  There seems to be a fine line between a cape and a poncho.  Both styles, serve the same purpose as a terrific transitional topper. If you dislike coats, one of these just may be your answer.

Felt Belted Poncho

So much style! It's available for pre-order from

Natori

Chiara Boni La Petite Robe Abu Cape

Elegant and so versatile! Loving the notched collar!

Saks

Lauren Ralph Lauren Poncho

Crafted with Italian spun wool, which means it will be soft to the touch.  This poncho/cape is exactly what you will want to wear to the football game, bonfire, or any outdoor fall festivity.

Sophisticated and ever so stylish. This is what you call quiet luxury.
