First time using the *enhance* filter - I look fabulous! 

Had a great Labor Day weekend in Aquebogue, New York. It's been two weeks and all I wanna do is go back. We stayed at the Aqua by American Beech, visited Greenport and Southhampton. Here I am Havin' a bevy at Dopo Argento. This place has amazing breakfast.

The pups LOVE the beach. I DO NOT love washing the sand off them every night! Aqua by American Beech is the perfect place to vacation with dogs. There's a little dog "duty" area and they're free to enjoy the grounds.

Greenport, NY is a must-see. The marina is beautiful and there's so many restaurants to choose from. We went to the pizza place at American Beech - SO YUMMY!

This odd tree is just one of the many strange things you see drivin' down the road. I encourage you to drive around, get lost and dine at family owned restaurants along the roadside.

This Dior multicolor Couer En Fleurs embroidery small book tote is EXQUISITE! I purchased it in February AND was saving it for Summer vacation - The temptation to open the box was fierce. Since I'm not going anywhere this Summer (travel restrictions), I decided to pull the ribbon and open the beloved white Dior box.

This is my favorite Dior book tote so far. The detail is brilliant and I love that it says Christian Dior along the handle. Each side dons different details and the bottom is absolute Dior perfection. I can't wait to travel somewhere fabulous, so I can show off my gorgeous Dior Couer En Fleurs tote.

Every season, I tend to obsess over one single designer. Sometimes, I'll stick with a brand for many seasons - BUT, eventually something on the runway tempts me to see beyond my current go-to brand and I move on.

I have been obsessed with Dior for many seasons now. I received my first Dior book tote just over a year ago and have been stocking the Dior site ever since. This season in particular - I want everything!

I was crunching on the black mesh book tote last season, but I didn't need another large tote and I'm not a huge fan of black. Fast forward to the next season - I was so excited to see the mesh style in a smaller version AND the perfect clay color. I've always been a fan of "see through" handbags. I don't carry a lot of things, so it's easy for me to keep it organized (of the utmost importance). 

I pair my clay-colored mesh embroidery Dior book tote with the Rose Des Vents DiorTravel vanity case. It matches the mesh tote perfectly. There's also a mini version of the vanity case - It's SO cute. Donning vanity cases as handbags is a trend now.

I LOVE this seasons D-Trap boots. I have the shorter boot style from last summer, so although these are higher, I can't justify another pair. The color is however different - SO, maybe! These mesh style boots are perfect for summer. 

The Dior D-Trap sandals are amazing - I can justify buying these! Paired with long skirts and dresses, these gladiator-style sandals will give your look a chic Mediterranean vibe. I tried these mesh sandals on at the Dior boutique and they run BIG. I'd recommend going one to two sizes smaller then your usual size.

I can never have enough Dior J'Adior bracelet sets. This clay-colored and cream set is neutral and blends perfectly with my Dior Cruise 2021 selections. I have a few J'Adior bracelet sets and love to mix-and-match them. Paired with other styles, bracelet stacking is my go-to accessory style.

I'm OBSESSED with this Dior multicolor Couer En Fleurs embroidery small Dior book tote. It's even prettier in person. I like that the back is basic cream with the Dior band and there is Christian Dior printed along the top handle. I know this tote is gonna be my fav handbag of the season. Bummer - it's a Valentine's Day gift and I can't open it for another week.

Benefit Cosmetics is fun, quirky and a premiere cosmetic brand. I'm a HUGE fan. The brow enhancing product lineup is impressive and I'm obsessed with the It's Potent! Eye Cream. 

I've tried other brands, but always go back to Benefit Cosmetics It's Potent! Eye Cream  It's light-weight and glides on nicely. This scent-free (love that) moisturizer absorbs quickly, leaving just enough on the surface of your skin to blend with your concealer.

I usually apply It's Potent! eye cream, then my topical medications, tinted moisturizer and anti-redness warpaint - then another layer of eye cream and concealer. Oh and I keep my eye cream in the refrigerator - it helps to minimize the "I had too much wine last night" look. This potent eye cream reigns supreme.

A few months ago I received a few Benefit products, including the It's Potent! Eye Cream, Instant Comeback facial Serum, Triple Performing Facial Emulsion and Total Moisture Facial Cream. Being that the eye cream is my go-to under-eye savior, I had high hopes..

The Total Moisture Facial Cream is thick and super nourishing, BUT the scent is unpleasant - like an old lady doused in floral-scented perfume. I hate the smell of flowers! The Instant Comeback Facial Serum and Triple Performing Facial Emulsion don the same scent. Benefit should have named the full moisturizing line It's Potent!

I applied little moisturizer on my hand to remind me of the scent while I write this review AND I'm getting a headache. This scent takes me back to old lady restrooms - where not even the thick layer of dust on the potpourri can mask the unpleasant scent. Apologies Benefit Cosmetics - I love your brand, but you should consider launching a scent-free lineup. 

I recently posted a review about the Benefit's brow enhancing products and kinda feel bad about the "old lady doused in floral-scented perfume" comment, so I'm gonna remind you that the Benefit Cosmetics brow lineup is amazing.  

For a more youthful, full-brow look, eyebrow makeup is your hero! These three brow products will enhance your brows dramatically..

The Benefit Brow Contour Pro 4-in-one Defining and Highlighting Brow Pencil is all you need to create defined, fuller brows -  Although, it may take little practice. 

Benefit Browvo! Conditioning Eyebrow Primer nourishes and smooths your brows. Wear alone to condition or use as a primer to extend the wear of brow products. 

Benefit Gimme Brow + Volumizing Brow Gel is a must-have and the only product I absolutely need. Even on those no makeup days, I still apply Gimme Brow.

The tapered brush allows for precise application. The tinted gel has microfibers that adhere to the hairs and skin for a natural, full look. The formula is buildable (I recommend layering).  

Gimme Brow gel is water proof and lasts all day (unless you take a nap on your face). It is available in two sizes - the mini is perfect for on-the-go touchups and travel. 

Oh and the Benefit Cosmetic vending machine kiosks in airports take a lay-over to the next level. The pink, bus shaped vending machine is cute and packed with amazing products, some of which are perfect for travel. Keep an eye out for this fun shopping experience while your wandering the airport. 

Too Faced is one of my favorite cosmetic brands. The vast lineup includes skin prep and setting products, along with high-quality and innovative makeup. Oh and the scents are amazing! 

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme (not pictured here), is the ultimate lip plumper and probably my most-valued makeup product. Your lips become significantly fuller and flushed with color in minutes. Since purchasing my first Too Faced lip balm in 2014, this brand has taken over my CosmoCube.

The new Too Faced Dew You lineup is part of the Tutti Fruity Collection and is comprised of four products - Dew You primer, foundation, setting powder and setting spray. 

The watermelon and cumber scent of Dew You products is delicious. I'm not a big fan of scented facial products (especially floral scents), but LOVE this one. It's sweet and refreshing. 

Dew You Fresh Glow Luminous Face Primer can be worn alone for a dewy look, under makeup for a boost in luminosity and over makeup for a highlighted look. I prefer the strobing effect over the full-face dewy look. The all-over glow is a bit too shinny for me.

The gel-cream texture is non-sticky, applies nicely and soaks into your skin seamlessly. This face primer creates the perfect canvas for soft-focus luminosity. It is high-shine, so apply sparingly. I purchased the Radiant Pearl. The micro sparkles have a pink-tone and transfer easily (be careful putting on white tops). 

The Too Faced Dew You Fresh Glow Translucent Setting Powder is a brightening setting powder. Apply to areas you want a little extra glow - I like to sweep the powder over my under eye concealer and across my nose and cheeks. The micro illuminating pearls reflect the light and blur imperfections. 

Dew You Fresh Glow Translucent Setting Powder is available in three versatile shades - Radiant Pearl (pale skin), Radiant Nude (sun-kissed skin) and Radiant Caramel (darker skin tones). I purchased the Radiant Pearl and Radiant Nude. The Radiant Pearl is transparent, while the Radiant Nude has a slight bronzing quality. 

The packaging is brilliant. Under the pink and gold, watermelon printed twist cover is a flip-top with a mesh layer to control the amount of powder you shake through. This mesh also allows you to rub your brush along it and remove access powder. This innovative design ensures you won't waste powder.

This setting powder is light-weight, brightens your complexion and smells amazing! It is is infused with soothing cucumber extract and has the Dew You signature watermelon and cucumber scent. Delicious!

Another deliciously scented Too Faced product - It's Bananas Setting Powder from the Tutti Fruity Collection. This matte yellow powder blurs imperfection and brightens your complexion.

The yellow-tone neutralizes redness and combats under eye circles. The light-weight powder is perfect for setting concealer. This pressed, setting powder can also be applied to high points on the face for a matte highlighter. The It's Bananas Setting Powder is cute and smells yummy.  

The Too Faced Peaches and Cream Collection is one of my favorites. I purchased the Peach Mega Moisture Lip Balm and then had to have the Peach Lip Scrub. This exfoliating lip scrub is gentle and effective. Your lips will feel soft and rejuvenated. The peaches and cream scent is sweet and yummy! 

If you want a pouty look, buff your lips first, get the circulation flowing, apply a lip balm and then color. If you want super-plumped lips, purchase the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme. This stuff reigns supreme!

Too Faced has a Hangover Collection - LOVE that! The collection consisted of a primer and setting spray, but is expanding and will include an AM and PM facial moisturizer - Can't wait. 

Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer and Setting Spray hydrates and brightens. The weightless formula is coconut water-infused  and has a subtle coconut scent. You can apply this spray as a primer, setting spray and a mid-day refresher. It soaks into the skin nicely and give you a smooth canvas. LOVE!

The Too Faced Dew You lineup and Hangover Collection are a must-have this summer. All of these Too Faced products combined will leave your skin feeling hydrated, boost luminosity, prime and set your makeup and  treat your lips for the perfect pouty look. 

I'm a HUGE fan of printed t-shirts and sweatshirts. Phrases, logos and graphics add a little something to my overwhelming amount of muted shades. My closet is lined with gray (lots of gray), shades of pink, green and beige, white, floral prints and I love camo. 

I'm a self-proclaimed sweatpants connoisseur and almost always opt for chic joggers and sneakers or pair them with high-heel sock-style boots. Even most of my wool and silk pants have an elastic waistband and cuffs! On top, it's a t-shirt, sweatshirt and knits. It sounds boring, but the prints add texture and amusement. 

I'm obsessed with the "THIS IS NOT A MOSCHINO TOY" oversized Moschino t-shirt (available at Farfetch). It's fun and definitely noticeable. The Moschino bear is synonymous with the brand and often appears on limited edition Moschino apparel. This printed t-shirt is available in two styles - regular fit and an oversized fit. I like the oversized fit but had to size down. 

This season Moschino's "THIS IS NOT A MOSCHINO TOY" print shows the Teddy mascot surrounded by a string of fairy lights - LOVE! The bold Christmas themed graphic is the perfect print for a fun, holiday soiree. 

Admittedly, I went a little crazy on the Karl Lagerfeld site a few weeks ago and purchased a "few" t-shirts and sweatshirts. After the first purchase and feeling the quality, I had to have more.. 

Of the many graphics, I like the Karl and Choupette, Karl X Kaia and the Karl wearing black sequin sunglasses (available at Karl.com). The soft cotton Ikonik t-shirts are bright white and medium weight. The t-shirts are regular fit, but the sweatshirts run small. I purchased the pink Karl Ikonik sweatshirt and it's a bit cozy, but sold out, so I'm just gonna have to save that one for a skinny day. 

Printed cuffs on socks pair nicely with joggers and sock-style boots. These Gucci appliquéd striped cotton-blend socks (available at NET-A-PORTER) are on my Christmas wish list. The navy, red and cream strips around the cuffs give these socks a retro, sporty vibe. If there were additional color schemes, they would be on my wishlist too. 

I'm a fan of MSGM sweatshirts. The fit is nice and they're good quality. This MSGM brush strokes logo sweatshirt (available at Revolve) is super-soft on the inside and perfect for a cold day. The black screen print logo against the bright white cotton gives this sweatshirt serious contrast and will photograph nicely. I'm gonna pair this sweatshirt with Monrow camo sweatpants. 

The Fiorucci brand is new to my closet but swiftly went from one to two.. The Fiorucci angels sweatshirt (available at Fiorucci.com) dons the iconic print paired with the Fiorucci name. I have this sweatshirt in two colors. The fit is perfect and the material is super-soft. The sweatshirt washes nicely and after many cycles through the wash, maintains the softness. I love this angels printed sweatshirt!
