It’s officially the end of August which means fall is right around the corner. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and I’m excited for cooler weather and moodier hues! So, I’m shopping for a few items (including a couple drool-worthy investment pieces) that I can wear all season long - so if you want to know what’s currently in my cart, then here’s everything on my fall wish list…
One thing I always like to get as we enter a new season is an updated handbag. In the summer, I wear a lot of straw handbags, beach totes, and light colored bags. For fall, I like to update my handbag situation to something more appropriate - right now I’m eyeing this stunning Balenciaga top handle bag! What do you think, should I make the splurge? Another one I’m considering is this suede Bottega bag - I have it in the almond color and ear it all the time! I think the dark chocolate suede color would be so perfect for fall and winter - such a moody vibe!
One trend that I’m looking forward to wearing this fall is the slit pants trend - which is why these pants are on my wish list. I think they’re super flattering and look comfy as well. I’m also really into this pencil skirt at the moment. It would be perfect for work wear or a night out - so versatile which you girls know I love!
Since I wear sweatshirts year-round, I have this one in my cart. I have it in ivory and love it so much I now need it in every color. The half-zip is so chic and gives me major après ski vibes when it’s zipped up all the way! No wardrobe is complete without a new pair of shoes, and I love sporting sneakers in the fall. These Golden Goose ones are totally splurge-worthy since they’re such great quality and can be styled a hundred different ways.
I don’t think this roundup would be complete without mentioning the Barefoot Dreams blanket which is a crowd favorite. I’m also a huge fan of this faux fur throw - I can’t even tell you how soft and cozy it is! It’s one of those blankets that the family fights over (if you know what I mean)! Lastly, I grabbed this set of santal candles which smell amazing! I can’t wait to burn them all season long!

I have a true obsession with denim, and once I find a pair that I’m absolutely in love with, I just have to share it with you girls! Denim can be so tricky and hard to shop for, so finding a pair that just fits in all the right places is like finding a hidden gem. The only thing that makes finding the perfect pair of jeans better is finding ones that are actually affordable… and ladies, let me tell you… I have found the BEST pairs that are all under $100. So, after testing out a LOT of pairs, here are the only ones that made the cut…
Okay now these 90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans are gooood! I just love the slit on the sides that add that bit of high fashion and at just $99, they truly can’t be beat! Plus, Abercrombie has sales all the time so if you can snag them on sale, then even better!
Abercrombie Distressed 90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans: This pair is the same style as above, just a different wash plus distressing. Like I said, this style of Abercrombie jeans are just that good!
Abercrombie Black 90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans: I don’t want to sound like a broken record here, but just trust me and add these jeans to your cart now… you won’t regret it!
Levi’s Wedgie Straight Jeans: White denim is truly my nemesis! Seriously… I’ve tried on so many pairs of white jeans that are not flattering in any way, so I was in shock when this pair of Levi’s was everything I had been searching for and more! Hot tip - I always size up in white jeans because it’s way more flattering!
Levi’s Ribcage Ripped High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans: Okay, so this pair isn’t technically under $100, but at just $108 they were too good not to include! I absolutely love the oversized fit and the raw hem… such a find!
BLANKNYC Madison Ripped Crop Straight Leg Jeans: I snagged this pair of BLANKNYC jeans during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but they’re still only $98 not on sale. I would totally pay full price for this pair because they are THAT good! I love the distressing on the ankle and honestly everything about them!

When it comes to all things beauty, Nordstrom is my go-to! They have such an amazing selection of brands and products that it’s a no-brainer when I want to try something new or stock up on my faves. Not a lot of retailers offer free shipping and my favorite curb side pick up, which is why I love Nordstrom so much - I can get everything I need without even having to change out of my pajamas! Yes girls, literally at curbside in jammies, don’t judge! ;)
Bronzer - This Charlotte Tilbury Bronzing Powder is such a great multitasker! It’s the perfect shade of bronze (not too orange or gray) and I’ll use it as eyeshadow for my everyday 5 min makeup! Plus, it blends seamless!
Primer - The Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer Color #4 is my secret weapon for that inner glow look! I use it as my primer under my foundation every day and in combo with my Armani Foundation is is just gorgeous inner glow skin with a natural finish. See below for foundation deets.
Buxom Lip Balm - 9 out of 10 times when you ask what lipstick I’m wearing, it’s this Buxom one in the shade Dolly Fever. It gives the perfect bitten lip with just the right amount of color and minty fresh breath with a touch of plump.
Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks- These are my new obsession! I LOVEEEE them, actually you girls turned me onto them. I tried them this summer because I loved that 1 they where smudge proof and 2 the ease for travel instead of traveling with a big shadow palette that can get messy. Anyway now I am hooked. They’re slightly metallic so think bright eyes, I love Sienna and Burnished Bronze.
Eyeliner - OKAY this eyeliner is a must! In person, people ALWAYS ask what liner I'm wearing because it’s got little gold flecks so it brightens the eyes, but the subtle shade never feels overdone! I’ve also turned so many of my girlfriends onto it, feels more natural and updates from your traditional flat/matte liners.
SPF - I love the extra protection of this sunblock and the fact that it doesn't change my complexion. It’s perfect for all skin types and won't give you that weird ashy look if you're a deeper skin tone! Also NO breakouts!
Powder SPF - I always have one of these in my car to powder my hands when I drive - You can always tell a person’s age from their hands! Keep them young! I also use this as my touchup sunscreen throughout the day!
Concealer - The Clé De Peau concealer is my ride-or-die concealer anytime I have a little blemish! It's the only concealer I found that 100% covers without looking cakey! I only use this as a spot treatment.
Foundation - The Armani Luminous Silk is the foundation I’ve kept on heavy rotation for more years than I can count! When I wan't a fuller BUT natural coverage, this is what I reach for! You still see skin and it's hydrating!
Mirror - This mirror is what I use to do my tutorials and daily makeup. It has bright LED lights so you can actually see what you’re doing, plus a phone-clip so you can take selfies - no filter needed!
LightStim - I LOVE this light therapy device and swear by it! It's an investment but I purchased it after I had light therapy at a facial and noticed SUCH a huge difference in brightness and firming of the skin! It’s also great for healing - I do it after peels and 4-5 nights a week while I watch TV - so relaxing!
Perfume - This Tom Ford Lost Cherry perfume has been my signature scent for a while! I do NOT like sweet or too floral scents, so the name of this one might be deceiving. It’s such a moody vibe of a scent…SEXY and lasts forever!
As you girls know, I’m a huge fan of Amazon! I love shopping at Amazon for affordable fashion, home decor, and everyday essentials. I even have a permanent collection of sweaters, tanks, blazers and more with The Drop which I wear ALL the time - you can see all the pieces in the collection here. I love seeing what other people love from Amazon, so I figured I’d round up everything I’ve ordered recently. I also update my storefront weekly, so you can find everything I have and love from Amazon here.
Slouchy Hoodie - If you follow me on IG, then you know I’ve been living in this hoodie recently. Yes, I’m that person who wears sweatshirts in the summer, and this one it just too comfy to take off! I love this olive green color, but I’m tempted to get it in other colors as well - it comes in white, black, gray and other nice colors.
Los Angeles Tee - I’m a sucker for a neutral graphic tee and couldn’t resist this tan one. I sized up for an oversized look - it’s super comfy and looks great paired with some faux leather leggings or some denim cutoff shorts.
Cozy cardigan - I got SO many questions about this cardigan, and believe it or not, it’s an Amazon find! I like to style mine off the shoulder tucked into some jeans with a lace bralette peaking through - you know I love a clavicle moment!
One shoulder sports bra - How chic is this sports bra?! It looks way more expensive than it was - that’s right, it’s only $16! I love wearing mine on walks or for low intensity workouts. BTW - my sunglasses are also from Amazon!
Ribbed votive holder - These votive candle holders were too good to pass up. I styled them on my entry table, but they would be perfect for a centerpiece as well - they create a nice ambiance for a vibey dinner party!
Clear pouch bags - I’ve been obsessed with these clear pouch bags lately - I don’t know what took me so long to jump on the bandwagon, but I’m here to stay! They are amazing for travel - they allow you to see what’s actually in your bag and help keep things organized (which you know I need)! Plus, they’re TSA approved!
Aroma oils - If you’re like me and want your house to smell like a spa at all times, then you need these Aroma oils! I got the scents Hotel and Love Affair - I add a few drops to my diffuser and they both smell SO good!

It’s no surprise that I love an athleisure moment, especially when times get busy… I know all you mamas can relate! If you’ve ever staying in your workout clothes all day because you literally have no time to change, then you know the struggle is real! But, if you know me then you know I still want to look put together, even in workout gear! That’s why I love a matching set - they take all the guesswork out of styling an outfit so it takes no thought at all when you’re on the go! So, whether you’re running from a workout to pick the kids up from school, or just want something you can live in all day, here are some matching sets that I’m loving right now.
One of my favorite places to shop for matching sets is Nordstrom. They carry some of my favorite brands like Alo, Sweaty Betty, IVL, Beyond Yoga, and so many other great brands! It’s pretty much a one-stop shop since you can pick up some new Nike or Adidas workout shoes - how cute are these ones? I love the subtle bit of pink! Plus, you can snag a sweatshirt or leather jacket to throw on over the top while you’re there! You know I never miss an opportunity to wear leather! Plus, it gives you that cool girl streetstyle look - you already know I’m a huge fan!

There’s one week left to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and I have to say, there are some really great beauty bundles this year! A lot of products that I have and love are currently on sale, so you know I’m going to stock up. So, I’m sharing all my favorite makeup, skincare, tech and hair finds that are included in the NSale.
I’ve talked about the NuFACE toning kit before, and I swear it makes such a difference when it comes to contouring and helping with fine lines and wrinkles. It’s currently on sale for under $200 which is a steal for this device! Another tech item that is such a great deal right now is the Pro Facial Steamer set that comes with Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta peel pads and serum. The set is currently priced at $154 (a $230 value).
I’m definitely eyeing this Nars palette which comes with three shades to contour and highlight. I love Nars bronzer and blush, so this palette would make a great addition to my collection - plus so perfect for travel! I’m also going to pick up this Nars lip balm duo - I think the shades are so pretty and perfect for summer. Living Poof is one of my absolute favorite haircare brands, so I’ll be stocking up with this kit which comes with shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo.
I’m curious what you girls are shopping during the NSale - do you love all things beauty like me or are you more into the fashion finds?

Serg and I just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary! Since we wanted to do something special, we decided to book a trip to Cabo just the two of us. We stayed at Nobu Los Cabos which was the most amazing resort - I cannot say enough good things! They made our stay so special - they surprised us with a gourmet seven-course dinner in a private cabana with an ocean view! And to top it off, a bubble bath with rose petals was waiting for us when we got back from dinner. So, it’s safe to say I highly recommend Nobu if you’re planning a trip to Cabo!
Anyway, I had to pick up some new luggage and travel accessories for our trip, and I found some of the cutest things from Walmart. They have some really affordable and chic suitcases and cosmetic bags that make staying organized while traveling so much easier. You guys love when I share Walmart home finds, so I know you’ll love these budget-friendly travel accessories. So, if you want to know what I took with me to Cabo, then keep scrolling.
First off, I picked up this luggage set in the champagne color. I couldn’t believe all four pieces were just $252 cause luggage can be quite pricey! After traveling with them, I was really impressed with the quality too! They spin 360° which is a must for airport travel! I also snagged these packing cubes which allowed me to fit so much more in my suitcase - you’re welcome Serg! Plus, they helped me stay organized by keeping things like swim and accessories together - and we all know I need all the help I can get when it comes to keeping my suitcase organized!
Another thing that I loved were these clear bags because you can see everything that’s in them. Plus, they’re TSA approved so amen for that! I also couldn’t resist this chic Airpod case - is there anything worse than losing your Airpods? I might or might not have lost Sergs’…. The last thing you wan to is to realize your headphones are missing while in flight, am I right?
