August is flying by! Can you believe it’s halfway through? Where is the time going? Anyway, this means we are closer to fall and fall temperatures. Love that!

As we think about prepping our wardrobes for fall, the new season will bring the return of color mixed in with neutrals. It will also continue to bring us high-quality style and steer clear of logos. We are seeing softer fabrications and obvious fall staples such as suede, cashmere, and silk scarves. Bring on fall! I am so done with summer weather!

Fall nail polish is starting to appear on store shelves, and it is selling quickly. Brands are starting to use the scarcity marketing tactic with nail polish. So, if you like a color, buy it quickly!

Fall outfit and a beachy dinner

wearing: gold hoop earrings / chocolate brown sweater / suede handbag (same color in large, same size alt color) / scarf (vintage, also love this one) / satin skirt / nail polish / kitten heels c/o Lonza /

Ah, fog in San Francisco. I love it when the fog rolls in; especially when I want to manifest fall weather! Over the weekend, we went up to the city for dinner at Seal Rock Inn. This was fabulous because it was blazing hot in the south bay, so heading up into the fog was a blessing. Plus, it was a chance to rock a fall outfit. Love that!

Seal Rock Inn is a cute little hotel by the beach in San Francisco. It has a delicious restaurant on the corner which features views of the ocean. I can’t believe I didn’t take a photo for you! Well, this means you will have to visit the restaurant yourself to see the beautiful views of the ocean.

I enjoyed a glass of Riesling, which was served in a champagne flute. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Coq au Vin, which was amazing. Of course, for dessert I had to have Creme Brulee; it’s my favorite.

Our meals were really good, so we definitely plan to go back. I have heard Seal Rock Inn has an amazing brunch menu, so I think we will check that out next time and combine it with a visit to Land’s End. So, I highly recommend enjoying a meal at Seal Rock Inn!

Tree to Tub Cocoa & Shea body butter review

pictured: Tree to Tub Cocoa & Shea body butter / nail polish /

I am always trying new body creams, so when I saw this body butter from Tree to Tub with a “citrus splash” scent I needed to try it! I also love creams which contain shea butter, so it was a must-try!

Beauty products which have thoughtful ingredients are important to me as I try to avoid toxic products. Tree to Tub is free from banned ingredients in the EU and uses botanicals and safe extracts to create a moisturizing body butter which actually works. Love that!

As a body butter, it works great! My skin stays soft and moisturized for the whole day after application. When it comes to the scent, the citrus scent is extremely light, so it’s hard to find. What I can smell is the shea butter. There isn’t anything wrong with that, but if you are looking for an actual citrus fragrance, this doesn’t have it. It smells like shea butter, which is a scent I like.

I really enjoy this body butter, so I would definitely buy it again. Since it is light, it does not complete with other perfumes and creams. I can wear it without worrying about competing fragrances once I spray my perfume. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
