Fabulous Fall Accessories!
It is a new school year, so why not outfit your life with fabulous fun things to make you actually excited to go to class?! Laptop accessories and cute class items are a great place to start!
I purchased this fabulous Vera Bradley laptop skin at a boutique in Connecticuit and I just absolutely love it! It comes in a large sheet to fit up to a 17" laptop with a guide to cut it for all laptop sizes. It only took me about 10 minutes to cut it to match my laptop's size and to apply it.
This removable, protective cover dresses up any ordinary laptop surface and doesn't leave behind any sort of sticky reside if you decide to take it off. I love the pattern that I got, called "Very Berry Paisley", but tons of others are available online.
Another lovely and fun treat that I purchased for this school year is a fabulously colorful journal/notebook that I literally take with me everywhere to jot down notes at meetings. This gorgeous print is called "Hope Garden".
And of course with a journal you need a pen. I purchased this beautiful pen to go with my notebook, the whole set is perfect together!
I love all of my new school accessories! Anything that is a must have for you this new school season?! Let me know in a comment on this post!

Trend Alert: Embellished T-Shirts!
Trend Alert, fashionistas! The next big thing for the Fall is... Embellished T-shirts! Trust me when I say, if you haven't already seen them popping up everywhere, you will really soon! I recently purchased a few embellished t-shirts so I can prance into Fall sporting this fabulous trend.
One of my favorites is by Ellen Tracey- this burnt orange color is spot-on with the trendy colors for Fall. The lovely and delicate beaded golden detailing really makes this shirt stand out. I can't wait to pair it with a chunky sweater, skinny jeans, and over-the-knee boots this Fall.
Another shirt I adore is by J Crew. This green color, like burnt orange, is spot-on with the color trends for Fall. The beaded detailing is so nicely done, it would like great on its own or underneath a sweater.
Lastly, who couldn't love this t-shirt from J Crew?! It is one of my favorite shirts of all time: It encompasses so many trend at once- animals and embellishments! How could you resist this fabulous sparkling zebra?! J Crew is a fabulous place to go for more stylish embellished t-shirts You can also find this trend at lots of department stores, so be on the look-out!

My Favorite Cleanser: Fresh
Long story short, I have been having some issues with my eyes lately, basically I scratched my cornea and have to wear glasses now instead of contacts. With this situation, comes having to be really careful about what I am putting in or near my eyes, as they are super sensitive. I knew I needed to switch from my normal Ponds cold cream eye makeup remover to a more natural cleanser. This led me to finding this amazing new product: Fresh's Soy Face Cleanser.
Soy Face Cleanser, Fresh's most popular cleanser for all skin types, is an extra gentle, fragrance-free, multi-tasking gel formula that instantly whisks away every day impurities, removes makeup, and is safe to use on the eye area. Plus, it's soap free and will never leave behind a film or residue.
Soybean extract is a valuable protein that protects the skin and improves texture and resiliency- Soybeans provide amino acids that are essential in helping the skin to retain moisture maintain elasticity and preserve a smooth appearance. They contain a high concentration of isoflavonoids, a type of polyphenol that exhibits antioxidant properties. Soybean germ extract is derived from the soybean; after the hulls and oil are collected, the remaining flakes, which represent this valuable protein rich extract, are crushed into a fine powder.
I really cannot say a single negative thing about this cleanser- it is definitely something that will be a crucial part of my night-time regime from now on. It is SO easy to remove makeup with this product, no heavy rubbing required at all as it is soft and gentile, leaving skin smooth, hydrated and fresh feeling.
I purchased this cleanser at Sephora. It is available online and in stores.
There are two sizes available: 1.7 oz for $15 and 5.1 oz for $38

Missoni For Target!
I assume that the majority of fashionistas have been counting down the seconds to the day that the Missoni collaboration with Target came out! Watch the commercial below if you haven't yet- it really shows off everything that the collection has to offer. From delightful dresses to fabulous homegoods, Missoni really did a fantastic job with this collaboration.
September 13th was the lucky day, but unfortunately the online store crashed and due to the overwhelming amount of web traffic kept going down throughout the day. Of course I had loads of stuff in my cart and then the site kicked me out and I lost it all :( Eventually I was able to get back online, but since the majority of items were completely sold out, I was only able to buy a few items. Check out what I was able to snag up below:
Missoni for Target® Fluid Knit Stripe Chemise - Brown/Multicolor; $29.99 online price
Missoni for Target® Strappy Sweater Dress - Black/White Zigzag Print; $54.99 online price
Missoni for Target® Printed Tee - Black/White Zigzag Print; $29.99 online price
I can't wait to get these fabulous Missoni items! Were you able to snag anything up before the site crashed and/or everything sold out?? Let me know in a comment on this post!
