The weather is starting to heat up here in the San Francisco Bay Area. This means it is time to adjust what we wear! To stay cool last weekend, I paired this 1970’s inspired denim skirt with my favorite red blouse. I love how the brass buttons on my blouse play well with these Jenny Present earrings and Donald J Pliner wedges. The metals just work. 

I have also been extremely excited to get my hands on Kendra Scott’s summer collection, “Via Maya.” I am so excited for the collection, I purchased a couple pairs of earrings, a few rings, a bracelet. . .you see where this is going. Bye-bye paycheck! Every piece is worth every cent. I am in love with her summer line! This ring is my favorite. I bought the ring pictured above in both the brown pearl and abalone shell. I want the white version too; but money doesn’t grow on trees. . .so. . .if you hear of a money growing tree, let me know!

My beautiful eight year old daughter took these pictures. When we were taking pictures, she asked me if she can borrow this ring when she grows up. I think she has quite the eye for fashion! I also think she did a pretty good job taking these photos. She has an artistic eye! What do you think?

laline bath products review

Pictured: c/o Laline. Body Scrub in Ocean, Hand Cream in Coconut Verbena, Bath Body Bubble in Vanilla Pink Pepper

Laline is a fabulous bath and body product line. The collection offers refreshing fragrances combined with amazing bath products; which results in a squeaky clean, relaxing result. Love that!

Laline’s collection is made from natural ingredients fused together with innovative research and science. All of the products are high quality and offer amazing results. Laline’s fragrances and essential oils are sourced in the Provence region of France. The mineral salts are sourced from the Dead Sea. Laline is also a cruelty-free company; how fabulous is that!

I tested out the Body Scrub, Hand Cream, and Bath Body Bubble. The body scrub was a-ma-zing! It gently cleansed, and scrubbed, my skin leaving a smooth result. The Ocean scent offered a refreshing fragrance experience which is ideal in moderate to warm weather. It will be so cooling in the summer!

I fell in love with Laline;s hand cream. The nourishing formula left my hands perfectly moisturized without leaving a greasy film. This is key! The Coconut Verbana scent instantly transported me to a tropical island. This is hands-down my favorite fragrance!

The Bath Body Bubble is a great way to get squeaky clean and relax at the same time. It is so great, that my two daughters stole the bottle from me; they love it so much!  The vanilla pink pepper scent is sweet with a little bit of a peppery zing. I love the fragrance, and my daughters do too!

Laline has bath and body products for kids, men, women, and the home. They have such an amazing array of fragrant products! Laline is also a great place to find a gift, especially with Mother’s Day coming up. 

Visit Laline shops in San Francisco on Chesnut Street, at Pier 39, and at Fisherman’s Wharf. Directions and details online here.
