This was the outfit I wore on my last day in Lake Tahoe last weekend. I love wearing cobalt and black together, so this Ever Ivy tank top fits my personal style perfectly. This outfit will get a lot of use this fall in the Bay Area since our autumn weather is mild to very warm. With the addition of a black leather jacket, this will be the ideal fall outfit for the micro-climate’s we enjoy here in the San Francisco Bay Area! If you are wondering why I was in Lake Tahoe, I was there for a fundraising event; more about that here. 

Today is the last day to enter to win Ever Ivy’s “Live Outside the Box” gift box! This beautiful gift box contains the tank top I am wearing above valued at $158, a “Serephina Trinity Heishi Wrap” valued at $40, Essie nail polish in “Licorice” valued at $9 and an “Ever Ivy” scented soy candle valued at $18.

Saks Fifth Avenue presented Oscar de la Renta’s’ resort 2015 collection on Saturday, August 2, 2014 at a private residence on Lake Tahoe in Incline Village to benefit the League to Save Lake Tahoe. This beautiful fundraising event featured a silent auction, competitive live auction, and a beautiful backdrop of the lake. 

Oscar de la Renta’s runway show presented by Saks Fifth Avenue was the highlight of the event. The runway show featured Oscar de la Renta’s resort 2015 collection which was filled with beautiful daytime, evening and gala attire. The color palette included black/white prints, navy/white prints, metallic hues, bright pink, bright yellow, pastel grey, pastel pink and pastel blue. The overall vibe of the show was feminine and playful while maintaining the utmost in sophistication which Oscar de la Renta is known for. 

At the conclusion of the event, lucky guests went backstage to pre-order their favorite looks from the Oscar de la Renta’s resort 2015 runway before the public has access to view the collection. Orders were taken by sponsor Saks Fifth Avenue.

It is anticipated that the League of Lake Tahoe raised more money this year than last as evidenced by the successful live auction where guests won auction items by bidding anywhere from $18,000 to $60,000.

This past weekend I went to Lake Tahoe with my Mom to see the Saks Fifth Avenue presents Oscar de la Renta resort 2015 benefit for the League to Save Lake Tahoe. You can read about the event here. It was a fun and relaxing weekend getaway; and it was fun to take a trip with my Mom! We both figured out that we have not traveled alone, just the two of us, since I was in college! Although I missed my husband and three beautiful children dearly, it was nice to take a break and hang out with Mom.

I love earrings with unique details and which are able to stand out from my dark brown hair. These adorable earrings from jewelry designer Jenny Present are perfect since they offer a beautiful design with small sparkling details and the color contrasts nicely with my brunette hair.

I am very excited to have been introduced to Jenny Present and look forward to adding more jewelry pieces from her collection to my wardrobe in the future. I especially love the “Design Your Own” jewelry feature on Jenny Present’s website! You can make a special piece as a gift  or for yourself! Love that!

Jenny Present also has bridal jewelry which is perfect for the bride as well as her bridesmaids. Now those are beautiful bridal party gifts! 😉

My Jenny Present wish list is growing. I currently have my eyes on these earrings, this necklace and this fabulous bracelets.
