Tulle by Zara

No matter how quickly I'm running out the door, I always spritz on some perfume.  Perfume is an essential for me.  I've been really into Zara perfumes for about 2 years now and they seem to be all that I am using nowadays.   I love that Zara perfumes range from $9.99 to $19.99, super affordable!  My most recent purchase is Tulle by Zara.  The scent is described as a floral woody musk scent but I think it smells a tad more fruity than floral.  The only downside to Tulle is that it doesn't have the longest lasting power.  I also highly recommend Zara Black which smells similar to Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb.  You can purchase Zara perfumes and colognes in Zara stores.  You'll find the displays set up next to the cash registers.  Go check them out!

The Perfect Fall Sweater

Recently I've been seeing a particular type of sweater everywhere.  Problem is, I don't quite know what this style is called.  So instead of attempting to name or describe this sweater, I'll post a picture below.

I love the look of a different fabric peeking out from under a knit sweater.  I've seen one that I particularly like at Zara as well (see below).  The chiffon peaking out from the knit material is just so chic!   Although you can't tell in the picture, in person,  this sweater has a faint hint of shimmer to it -- so cute.

Maybe we could call them peek-a-boo sweaters.  What do you think of them? 

Not Your Mother's Pearls

Let me just tell you now -- pearls are going to be super in this season and maybe the next.  You'll be seeing pearls as embellishments on sweaters, popping up on handbags, and even on housewares. When choosing your pearl studded accessory consider choosing something that's doesn't scream matronly but rather gives young and fresh vibe.  Perhaps consider choosing a piece that even has a bit of an edgy or punk vibe too.  I think that Givenchy hits the nail on the head with many of their pearl accessories.  Plus, most of their accessories, while a little pricey, won't break the bank!  Check out  my favorite picks below....
