Perfectly Purple – Diane von Furstenberg Helen Dress

Looking for the perfect fall dress?  Look no further my friends.  This DVF wool jersey dress is stretchy in all the right places, with angular seams on the front and a cool exposed back zip.  Joan Holloway would totally approve.And besides, everyone knows that purple is the “it” shade for fall, so give your LBD a rest and try out this one!

Emi Jay Hair Ties – No More Ponytail Dent!

Recently, while perusing one of my favorite sites for all things hair (Lock and Mane,) I discovered Emi-Jay hair ties.  They promise not to dent or pull your hair, and come in an array of adorable colors.  I decided to give them a try and wasn’t disappointed.  During the work day, I pulled my hair into a bun.  My hair stayed put and the elastic didn’t even attempt to fall out.  Later in the day, when I took it out, my waves weren’t even slightly dented.  Major hair victory as usually, once I pull my hair up, it needs to stay up.  Better yet, these are so much cuter than my usual hair ties.

Loeffler Randall’s Rain Boots… Brilliant.

OK,  they are on the pricier side, but come on…rain boots that you can keep on all day and still feel stylish?  LOVE the pointed toe, the signature mini-wedge, and best of all the back zip.  If you ask me, Loeffer Randall hit it out of the park with this one.

Maybelline’s The Falsies – My New Favorite Mascara

A few months ago, while on vacation, I decided to try Novalash eyelash extensions.  What I was thinking, I really don’t know.  I’ve always been obsessed with long eyelashes and was insanely curious about how extensions would look.  The process was painstakingly long and the fumes from the glue irritated my eyes.  After all was said and done, my eyelashes looked pretty amazing, but my eyes were constantly watering and it felt like everything I did pulled on them… ouch!
