by Best Picks Magazine on Oct 08, 2014

Crisp fall days are made for apple and pumpkin picking in these comfortable cozy knit separates from Carve Designs of CA. The Cedars Tuxedo Top has an easy button down front. The Napa Skirt has a fold over waist band with a flattering A Line fit.

I'm also wearing Naturalizer's buttery soft Josette Leather Riding Boots in Banana & Black with full length zips and gold details at the strap. My bag is by Michael Kors - his signature Knox Leather Tassel Bag so on trend this season. Adding a bit of sparkle is the Gold Druzy Teardrop necklace by Jaimie Nicole and Turquoise earrings from Cate & Chloe. River Stone Bracelet is designed by Diana Kauffman. Straw Cowboy hat by Dorfman-Pacific. Sunglasses from Converse All Star Collection. The season's hottest accessory? Those Lamborghini Ear Phones! The bass in these is unreal. Perfect for your fall walks with your favorite iTunes.

GUESS Jeans NEW Dare Fragrance & Vanesa Farfan 5 Stone Necklace

Newly released - Guess Jeans Dare Perfume

September Issue:
I've had this fragrance for a little while now and really have enjoyed it from the first spritz. Guess Dare is aimed at millennials, women aged 18-30 and will be launched in over 23,000 department stores and retailers nationwide this September. Retailing for about $62.00 it is definitely being marketed with major price appeal to younger women.
I'm liking it even as we are moving into the cooler temperatures of fall. Dare is light yet just provocative enough for you to be noticed. I can see this traveling with me during the resort season for it's tropical top and middle notes of kumquat, pear blossom and lime, jasmine,wild rose, cactus flower and coconut palm. The base or bottom notes are derived from blonde woods and living Key West coconut palm.

Guess Dare outer package

What I'm holding is the Guess Dare Eau de Toiliette which comes in a beautifully decorated glass 3.4 oz bottle. It has a gold nameplate chain necklace to match the cap and an exquisite faceted glass bottle.

Lovely packaging and faceted Guess Dare bottle.

Speaking of faceted things, the long necklace I am wearing is by jewelry designer Vanesa Farfan of Miami Beach, FL.

I really like the length of the gold chain which easily slips over my hair without having to fool with a clasp. The gems are beautifully cut and slightly translucent. Fabulous! Perfect highlight to my Ten Thousand Villages Silk Scarf from Laos.

Catherine Wingate Golf Apparel and Philip Stein Horizon Bracelet with Tote

 

Catherine Wingate of CA's fine golf apparel

Knob Hill Golf Club, Manalapan NJ  Last month we stayed at Crystal Springs Resort & Golf Club in the mountains of Northern New Jersey. The first hole was right by our balcony terrace with night time golf being played with LED lights!  Golf is a sport that is attracting a lot of women, thanks to top players on the LPGA Tour like Michelle Wei, Stacey Lewis, Linda Ko and Lexi Thompson. It stands to reason that our apparel choices are going to be important to keep cool on the green. Since most golf clubs have dress codes, I've found very fashionable golf attire from a new designer, Catherine Wingate of CA.

Catherine Wingate is winner of the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show Award for "Best New Product".  Made in the USA, Catherine Wingate's pieces are very well constructed and conform to even the most elite golf club's dress requirements.

Sleeveless Color Blocked Polo and Pleated Skort

Sleeveless Color Blocked Polo Top in White/Navy is very easy to wash and wear due to the
stain releasing fabric: Micropoly with Lycra
The Fabric is a four-way stretch that contains a quick dry function to pull moisture away from skin and quickly dry. This fabric blocks and absorbs UV-rays to protect skin from dangerous sun damage. This fabric also has long lasting anti-bacterial Features.

Can you find the pockets? Horizon Bracelet by Philip Stein

Pleated Skort in Navy has a definite nautical theme going for it. Easy and breezy to wear, the wide waist band stays put and is very flattering. The pockets are hidden in the pleats. Made of the same fabric as the Polo Top, the Micropoly with Lycra is a dream to wear and color-fast.
