Pictured: Earrings: Nordstrom (sold out, also love these) / Lipstick: c/o Dolce Gabbana “Petal” / Dress: Elie Tahari (sold out, also love this one) / Cuff: Vince Camuto / Nail Polish: c/o Dolce Gabbana “Gaia” / Handbag: Chanel (also love SAVE or SPLURGE) / Shoes: SixtySeven / TOMS cuff shown with price tag, online here.

I wore this outfit to the TOMS event last Friday which was just as informative as it was fun! You can read more about it here. It was about 97 degrees outside, although my car said it was 101 degrees! I was so thankful the event was held in the shade 🙂

When the weather is scorching, I love being able to wear a dress. This dress turned out to be light and airy which worked out well with the heat. I’m sad it is sold out, but thankfully Tahari has a similar style which I linked to above.

The Vince Camuto cuff I wore to the event has quickly become a favorite of mine. It is comfortable and sleek; which is perfection in my book! I might have to go back and grab it in gold too!

I hope you have been able to escape from the heat wave we have been “enjoying.” To learn more about the TOMS event, please click here.

TOMS held a blogger party on Friday, July 25, 2014 which included a special presentation with details about the brand’s pop-up shop at Santana Row as well as the eye-wear collection. As guests, we also enjoyed dinner, dessert, great company and crafting time! We were also able to view the new fall 2014 collection, which is on embargo so I cannot show it to you-I wish I could share it with you! It is fabulous!

TOMS is an incredible brand which many people may know as the amazing company that gives one pair of shoes to the needy for every pair of shoes purchased. In addition to comfortable slip-on shoes, TOMS has added eye-wear to their collection which gives the gift of prescription eye-wear or cataract operations. TOMS has also recently introduced coffee beans to their product line which give the gift of water.

Santana Row is fortunate to have a rare TOMS pop-up shop for the summer. The pop-up shop features the entire eye-wear collection which includes hard-to-find and rare styles. In addition to eye-wear, the TOMS pop-up shop includes a few pairs of select TOMS shoes, coffee beans and jewelry from the TOMS marketplace.

The TOMS marketplace is an innovative concept which can be found online at TOMS.com. The products found in the TOMS marketplace all include a cause which sales from the products benefit. To learn more about TOMS marketplace, please visit TOMS.com.

Mini Mansur Gavriel drawstring handbag

If you have been following my blog, you are aware of my love for Mansur Gavriel handbags. As a proud owner of the regular sized bucket bag in black with red interior, I did not hesitate to add the new “mini” drawstring bag to my collection for fall 2014.

I had been eyeing the drawstring bag in Camello for quite some time, so when Mansur Gavriel opened their online shop last month, I jumped at the chance to own the color. Since mini bags are still popular for fall 2014, and are showing no sign of slowing down as we move into 2015, I decided to go with the mini bucket bag.

There were many choices for the interior color on the Camello mini drawstring bag. I decided to go with the “Oro” interior color which is a shiny gold hue. I felt like the gold interior would be a nice neutral color as we move into the fall season; plus gold is classic!

I am thrilled I went with the mini in Camello. The mini is still a sizable handbag and has plenty of room for my sunglasses case, iPhone, wallet, keys and lipstick; with room to spare. It is not your typical mini!

If you are interested in a Mansur Gavriel handbag, they are hard to come by, so, I wrote an article with tips to help others snag their own Mansur Gavriel. Click here to read the article.

Do you have a handbag or accessory you are finding yourself buying in more than one color? If so, please share!
