Brunchin With Neiman Marcus

Hi Sweets!  It's been a while!  My personal life has been quite hectic.  After being out on maternity leave for 10mo. I just started working at a new job this week, and things have been a little crazy at casa Pereira.  
Even though life has been cray cray, I did attend a fabulous brunch with Neiman Marcus at the Short Hills Mall.  The TrendSetter Brunch was hosted by Dana Prigge from Daily Fashionista.Com.  It was absolutely divine!  Neiman Marcus sure knows how to make you feel special.  The brunch was held at one of their private styling suites and we were given a personal tour by Terry Dragoumis, the manager of public relations and special events.  After the tour we had a delicious lunch (I want that chicken salad right NOW!)  While we lunched, Dana had a wonderful fashion show with all the must have fall trends.  Neiman Marcus Short Hills has an incredible selection of fashion, beauty and home. Some of the styles featured were from Alice and Olivia, Tom Ford, YSL, Rebecca Minkoff, Burberry and more.
The Neiman Marcus store in Short Hills is stunning!  The shoe dept. was or is heaven on earth! Many of the styles and fashions are exclusive to Neiman Marcus Short Hills, which means you can’t find them anywhere else.  With the holidays around the corner, Neiman Marcus Short Hills is definitely the place to visit!  Thank you Dana, Terry and Neiman's for a fabulous afternoon.

♥ Fall Shoe Trend ♥

Fall is just a few days away, and I've teamed up with The Mills At Jersey Gardens to share my favorite Fall Shoe Trends!
This year its all about making a statement!   Florals, Glitter, extravagant embellishments, lots of color (especially red), the moto boot and of course....sky high!
 

                 CHUNKY BLOCK HEELS

We all love the ever so popular "over the knee" boot and these by Vince Camuto are pure perfection!  Super glam but the chunky heel makes them comfortable and versatile.

Vince Camuto Boots available at The Mills At Jersey Gardens

         FLORAL BOOTS 

Flower Power!!  Calling all girly girls!  Florals are here to stay!  Take any edgy outfit and make it feminine and fun!

        COMBAT BOOTS

At first glance they can be intimidating but I ended falling in love, fast!  Combat boots are back in a big way.  With a feminine twist like velvet and rainbow glitter; like these Dr. Martens.  They are high fashion!

Treasure Hunting

Jeans: Rainbow Shops | Sandals: C/O- Banana Republic | Handbag: Zara 

Who doesn't love a good bargain?!
I'm obsessed with the kimono style trend that I've been seeing everywhere lately.  After shopping around online, I noticed that they can be on the pricey side.  I decided to visit my local thrift store and found this gem.  I was lucky enough to have found 2 for only $4!  
Thrifting is an economical way to find fashion treasures, and try new trends without breaking the bank.

Nyakio Beauty

Happy Friday!  Hope you're all having a great summer.  
Being a woman in my late 30's, making sure that my skin is cleansed, exfoliated, and moisturized is beyond important.   
I was invited to a dinner in NYC with Nyakio Beauty.  

Nyakio (pronounced Neh-Kay-Oh) herself was there and her story was so inspiring.  She spoke about the importance of skincare and her beauty secrets passed down from generation to generation. 

Nyakio Beauty is free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, mineral oil, petroleum, formaldehyde, and butylene glycol.  Hand made with cold pressed, multi-functional oils in small batches.  Their formula is carefully made with ethically and sustainably sourced natural ingredients.
After a few weeks of trying some of these products, I'm going to share with you a few of my favorites.

SWEET ALMOND Cleansing Oil Balm
This is a gentle balm-to-oil cleanser that gently melts away makeup, dirt, and impurities, leaving my skin soft and radiant.

Chamomile Soothing Sleep Mask
A hydrating overnight facial that instantly softens skin with long lasting moisture and nourishment.  Blended with chamomile, calendula, and aloe vera.  
Kenyan Coffee Lip Polish
I think sometimes we forget about our lips when were taking care of our skin.  The Kenyan Coffee Lip Polish is a softening lip scrub that polishes away dirt and made my lips smooth and supple.

I instantly fell in love with these products, and I can't wait to try the entire line.  
You can purchase these and all their other products at Ulta Beauty
Have a great weekend!

Shifting Gears

Dress: C/O - Tobi Sage Shift Dress | Sneakers: Converse | Sunnies: Five Below

Happy Monday!  During the summer, I love to wear dresses.  I'm obsessed with this one from Tobi (currently on sale for $25).  Tobi has the hottest pieces for every season.  Right now their offering 50% off everything!
The off-the-shoulders and statement sleeve on this dress, is on trend and perfect to dress up or down.  I dressed mine down with a classic pair of white Converse.  A pair of "white sneakers" are definitely a summer staple in my closet.  They go with everything!
