Heels2Heal Miracle Babies Luncheon

There’s nothing I love more than combining fashion and charity.  So it was a no-brainer to attend the Heels2Heal Fashion Show & Luncheon.  Heels2Heal is a great charitable organization that hosts fashion related events throughout Orange County and San Diego in order to raise donations for Miracle Babies.  Miracle Babies helps to support those families with critically ill newborns in the Intensive Care Unit.  This event was held at the Sea & Smoke Restaurant in Del Mar, CA.  We sat outside and enjoyed the fashion show of Flower Hill Promenade retailers in 80 degree November weather.  Only in San Diego!  

I was really impressed with the styling for the fashion show.  I didn’t realize how many great retailers there are in that location!  All the beautiful models were decked out in some amazing fall fashion looks.  Here are some shots of my favorite outfits.

Monday Must-Have Lust List

1) INTARSIA SWEATERS

I love sweaters.  Period.  Do I really need to say more?  This year, the trend is heading towards intarsia sweaters.  All that means is a picture is knitted into the sweater rather than embroidered or ironed onto it.  It’s so much fun!!  You can basically pick anything that makes to happy for this trend.  I tend to be partial to sky prints, animals, and faces.  Here are a few of the ones I’m currently lusting over.  (Click the image for details)

     

 

2)  CND SOLAR SPEED SPRAY

CND’s Solar Spreed Spray has been my at-home mani savior!  I had this used once during a professional manicure to help set my polish and I knew I had to have it!!  Not only does it have a delicious almond smell, it instantly dries my polish and lets me go about my day!  No longer do we have to sit for an hour to let our polish dry!  Let’s rejoice!!

 

3)  JO MALONE PEONY & BLUSH SUEDE COLOGNE

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I’m a huge Jo Malone fan.  So I’m anxiously excited to try the latest from the Jo Malone collection: Peony & Blush Suede.  It’s described as luxurious and seductive… does it get much better than that?!

4)  THE RETURN OF REVOLUTION

It’s hard to imagine living in a world without power.  Life as we know it would change forever.  That’s exactly what happened on NBC’s Revolution.  I absolutely love this show for the action, suspense, and strong women fighting for what they believe in.  It’s back this Wednesday, September 25th for Season 2.  (Check your local listing for times)

5)  LONELY PLANET TRAVEL BOOKS  

I’m one of those people that buys a travel book every time I go anywhere.  I like to have all the tips and tricks right at my finger tips.  And they really help to figure out what I want to do while I’m on my trip.  There’s always something in there I wouldn’t have thought about myself.  I’ve found Lonely Planet does the best job covering everything.  I just ordered a new one for an upcoming trip but that’s a secret!!  🙂  You’re welcome to guess where to if you like though!

Happy First Day of Fall!

 

It’s officially the first day of fall!!  Yes!!  While I wait for it to cool down to full on fall weather, I’ll be slowly transitioning in my cold weather wardrobe.  To do that, I’ll be wearing things like a sweater and shorts (today!), knee high boots and a tank, etc.  You’ll see!  I’m just happy it’s FALL!!!
