NEW Designer Fall Suede Booties Plus Care & Cleaning Tips

Suede Booties like these from Rag and Bone as well as Musse & Cloud are trending this fall. 

Fashion Week, NYC is a lovely time to get a peek at street style as show attendees, models and editors like myself run from show to show. One of the trends this fall includes comfy suede booties. I was looking at Rag and Bone's fall collection along with Prada and Givenchy suede booties and noticed lots of fringe along with peep toes. These make for a lovely transition into fall!  Here are some of my favorites along with a few tips at the end of the article on keeping them all clean despite rainy autumns in New York.

What Makes French Perfume Timeless? The Mystique of Chanel, Paris

A fragrant walk through history

Paris, France is still considered the perfume capitol of the world and with good reason. Just think back to Empress Josephine's splashing the boudoir walls of Versailles with heady perfumes which can still be noted to this day! I have a precious little perfume bottle which belonged to my grandmother. The fragrance is still there, even though the bottle is empty. Yet is is just as I remember it as a child. 

Get Your Glow On! NEW Summer Shimmers & Sultry Fragrances

Sultry Summer Treats: VS Brightening Gel Cream, PF Sexy Booster Bronzer, Givenchy Very Irresistible & Playboy's Play it Rock

Summer is all but here and it's time for bare shoulders and lighter fragrances. Nothing looks more beautiful than a bronze shimmer on naked skin and thanks to a few new formulas, you can fake it till you make it!
I especially like products that offer both color and fragrance so first up in this category is Physician's Formula NEW Sexy Booster, Sexy Glow Bronzer:

PE's NEW Sexy Booster, Sexy Glow Bronzer is infused with a warm vanilla scent

Warm Vanilla Scent
The little corset design is especially sweet as is the yummy vanilla fragrance. It is very subtle, not heavy and can be used on your face, jawline, decolletage and collarbones for a super sculpted look. It has become my favorite powder bronzer of the season.

Hard Candy's Glow All the Way Bronzer
I really like this all in one bronzer, highlighter as it is made with 24K gold for a subtle sheen and glitter. The perfect way to be shiny day or night! Rub a bit of this along the side length of your leg for a beautiful, toned, sculpted look. Comes in various shades for a light bit of color to a deeper, rich tan color.

Playboy's Play it Rock 
A super sexy-summer fragrance, perfect for a day at a beach resort. The Playboy Play it Rock scent for women is very similar to Lancome's Hypnose with a spicy undertone but in my opinion, more complex.  It's by Coty and can be found in many drugstores.

Givenchy's Very Irresistible Spray Eau de Toilette
This is one of my favorite fragrances from the fashion house of Givenchy. It's light with warm musk undertones that play with your own natural scent. Eau de Toilette comes in a pink hombre bottle with a clear crystal top.
