Color Of The Year: Mocha Mousse

Image
Greetings, fellow fashion lovers! Hope you're all having a great Friday, that your week has been smooth, and you're feeling excited for the weekend ahead. Sorry for the delay in posting this, I’ve been meaning to share but it kept slipping my mind. Mocha Mousse is officially the Color of the Year for 2025, and Chocolate Brown, which was a major trend for Fall/Winter 2024, is still going strong this year. As a lover of neutrals, this is right up my alley. I adore how this shade pairs beautifully with jewel tones and bright colors alike. Fashion feels like it’s taking a more refined direction, and I believe this trend will truly stand the test of time. Alexander McQueen, Hermès, Wiederhoeft, ChloĂ©, Fendi, Max Mara, and Dries Van Noten nailed this trend perfectly.   The Joy Shoulder Bag from JW Pei is definitely going to be under my Christmas tree this year, and it’s on sale for $79.00, down from the original price of $99.00. https://www.jwpei.com/products/joy-bag-brown?sv1=affili...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Miss Dior Essence Eau De Parfume.

Image
Greetings, beauty enthusiasts! I hope your Thursday is going smoothly and that you're all gearing up to enjoy the weekend ahead. Every fashion magazine I receive in the mail includes the Miss Dior Essence Eau de Parfum, and we all know Miss Dior is iconic to the brand. It's been on my beauty wishlist for a while now. So today, I felt compelled to share this fragrance with you in case you haven’t heard of it yet. Imagined by Francis Kurkdjian, Dior Perfume Creative Director, Miss Dior Essence embodies a powerful and magnetic femininity. Its intense concentration and vibrant trail feature gourmand and sensual notes. Surprising and captivating, the fragrance combines a jammy blackberry and elderflower accord with a luxurious jasmine bouquet, all grounded in rich woody oak accords. This playful chypre celebrates femininity, like a bold stroke on a floral canvas. Staying true to its heritage, Miss Dior Essence reinterprets the 1948 bottle designed by Christian Dior, adorned with a f...

My Fashion Obsession: Draped Dresses.

Image
Hello, fellow fashion lovers and friends! I hope you’re all doing well, had a wonderful weekend, and are ready to take on the work week ahead. As a 35-year-old woman, I love dressing with elegance, and in my opinion, nothing is classier than a draped dress. It speaks to femininity without revealing too much, which feels refreshing in today’s fashion scene. While watching the AlaĂŻa Fall/Winter 2025 Ready-To-Wear Collection, I was captivated by how much this trend was featured. I truly hope others embrace it as well—I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I felt Alaia, Calvin Klein, and Kallmeyer nailed this trend perfectly. Christopher John Rogers has this gorgeous dress that totally gives off '80s vibes, and I absolutely need it in my closet. Well fellow Fashion Friends/Lovers, I hope you had fun reading this Friday's fashion blog post. Thank You all so much for your support, and until next time, Stay Beautiful.   For business inquiries or PR, feel free to email me at Lifeofafash...

On My Fall/Winter Wardrobe Wishlist: Either/Or The Vintage Pull On Boot.

Image
Hello to all my fellow fashion enthusiasts this Friday! I hope everyone is doing great, had a fantastic week at work, and is ready to kick off the weekend. I recently came across the shoe brand Either/Or, and I love that they’re ethically made while still being stylish. While browsing their website, I spotted the Vintage Pull Boots and instantly knew they’d be perfect for my Fall/Winter rotation, so I had to share them with all my fellow fashion lovers. After years of designing shoes for big-name brands, Emily, TC, and Paige stepped away from the corporate fashion world to create something more personal and meaningful. They rebuilt from the ground up, crafting a simple, transparent supply chain where everyone shares a passion for quality and is paid fairly. Each pair of EITHER/OR shoes is handmade in collaboration with small, family-run workshops in Europe and South America. The Vintage Pull-On Boot is a modern twist on a classic, inspired by timeless favorites. This Chelsea-style boot...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Nette

Image
Happy Thursday to all you beauty lovers! I hope you're doing great, had an awesome workweek, and are all set for the weekend ahead. The perfume brand Nette has been on my beauty wishlist for ages. I adore the sleek, classic, and minimalist design of their bottles. It feels like my beauty-lover duty to share this amazing brand with all of you lovely people. Their fragrances are inspired by modern protagonists, each one a character study that first existed in my imagination before being transformed into a scent. A bestselling author crafting dystopian novels in her glass house nestled in the woods. A young sculptor savoring a Japanese pear in her NYC loft during the ‘90s. A tennis player immersed in English Literature at Oxford, surrounded by blooming roses in the spring. A fierce mother warrior in shining armor, reminiscing about the lemon tree from her childhood home. And you the most significant protagonist of all. I hope these fragrances transport you to these imagined worlds whi...

Veteran Owned Brand That You Need To Know About: Curves N Combatboots.

Image
Happy Monday, fashion enthusiasts! I hope you had a fantastic weekend and that your workday is off to a great start. In honor of Veterans Day, I'm dedicating this blog post to a brand I've admired for years: Curves N Combatboots. I love that they offer workout gear in both regular and plus sizes because I believe everyone deserves cute and functional workout clothes. Curves N Combatboots was founded in 2017 in Norfolk, Virginia, by veteran couple Elijah and Sarah Maine, with a dream to empower everybody, in and out of uniform. What started as a small operation with no employees, no investors, and no warehouse (just their house) quickly grew into a thriving community with hundreds of thousands of supporters. Elijah served in the Navy for over 20 years, retiring in 2022 as a Navy Chief, while Sarah served in the USAF Reserves. Their mission was to create top-quality leggings comparable to Lululemon but affordable for women in uniform.  At Curves N Combatboots, they value patrioti...

Fashion friends, hope you're all doing great this Tuesday! I trust you had an amazing weekend and that your work week is off to a fantastic start. Steve Madden has me absolutely hooked, and I’m not even mad about it.

Image
Hello and happy Friday to all my fellow fashion enthusiasts! The weekend is finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. I noticed LisaLisaD1 had the Gucci Giglio Tote Bag in tan and black, but they were a bit too big for me since I'm only 5'2". I checked their website and found a smaller version of this stylish bag. So, for today's Halloween blog post, I just had to share this find with you all—because that's what good friends do!  The small Gucci Giglio, first revealed at the Cruise 2026 fashion show in Florence. This bag comes in a practical size, blending versatility with style. Celebrating the House’s Italian heritage and the balance of tradition and innovation, it is crafted from GG denim with the signature Web trim and includes a detachable pouch for added convenience. This bag comes in several colors, and the price for this bag is $1,850. https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/women/handbags/shoulder-bags-for-women/gucci-giglio-small-tote-bag-p-860845AAF...

On My Beauty Wishlist: Naturium Multi Calm Cream Cleanser.

Image
Hello again, fellow fashion lovers! I hope you're all doing well and gearing up for an amazing weekend ahead. October is National Eczema Awareness Month, and as someone who has dealt with this skin condition since the age of 13, it’s a topic close to my heart. I’m always on the lookout for products that can help with flare-ups and contain nourishing ingredients to keep my skin moisturized. While browsing the Naturium website, I came across the Multi Calm Cream Cleanser and immediately felt it would be a great addition to my skincare routine. My eczema often flares up on the sides of my neck and face, and I believe this product could be beneficial for anyone struggling with eczema. This luxurious creamy cleanser features a soothing blend of colloidal oatmeal (oat kernel flour), glycerin, and plant-based squalane to gently clean without drying out the skin. The rich formula transitions from a nourishing cream to a milky emulsion, providing calming and conditioning benefits for dry, s...
