Now & Later: Transitional Style

Right now, my shopping focus is on pieces I can wear now (comfortable in this crazy Charleston heat) and later (when it finally cools down and I can layer a bit).

This $99 dress from & Other Stories is very, very similar. With either, the dress will look great with sandals now or layered over boots when it cools down.

Korres Aegean Bronze: The Gourmand Fragrance You’ll Love

If you are like me and love gourmand fragrances, you simply must try Korres Aegean Bronze. It smells like burnt sugar and vanilla in the best possible way. Like Bath & Body Works’ Warm Vanilla Sugar (RIP, the fragrance of my youth) but for grownups. As you spritz it on, you get the most subtle note of citrus. But then almost immediately, the fragrance warms up, with delicious notes of brown sugar, vanilla, and musk (all my favorite things)
