Trend Report

Neiman Marcus is always on top of the newest trends and today their NM Trend Report email showed up where they call out lace as "Fall's Feminine Touch".  After looking through the lace selections it was hard to not pay attention to the Red Valentino lace Juliet-Sleeve top. It's going on my "need to have" list.

A few other Fall trends worth looking out for, according to Neiman Marcus, are:

• Green


• Military Influence


• Pearls


• Feathers


• Boots


• Pantsuit


• Capes, Vests & Ponchos


• Structured Handbags


• Fur

What Fall trends are you most excited about?

Thank You Clairsonic & Spa Scotta

I just got home from an amazing networking event at Spa Scotta. Not only did I get to meet up with some blogger friends that I haven't seen in awhile but I also got to check out the new Clairsonic items AND take them home! It was the best swag bag I have ever gotten at an event and I can't wait to use the Clairsonic items charging in my bathroom... Only a few minutes longer!



Clairsonic is launching their own blog, Sonic Chatter, stay tuned!!

Thank you everyone, it such a great time and I can't wait to use the Opal - no wrinkles for me!

Clairsonic!

Tonight I am super psyched to attend the Clarisonic Blog Launch Party featuring the Opal at Spa Scotta (4915 25th Ave NE Seattle, WA)!

I have actually had a few services at Spa Scotta and it was amazing - I am a spa junkie after all!!

I must admit the thing I am most excited for would be that every attendee will receive a swag bag featuring a Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Cleansing System and a Opal Sonic Infusion System. YAY!!

Will share about the experince after I get back tonight! You can follow my updates on Twitter as I'll be live tweeting!

I had a facial awhile ago with one and it was great - I can't wait to own one!! My skin looked amazing. :)
