Fashion Friday & other must haves...

Working on a super cool project over the weekend (think Vogue, couture, jewels, tiara, etc..) and it has me thinking of  fashion, beauty and my own "must haves", so I thought I would share here if you are looking for some new things to try.  First up:  for those sweet people that emailed about my previous post, my sunglasses are by Ralph Lauren!  They are huge beetle looking things, BUT they cover the face and prevent squinting which causes the dreaded frown lines in between the eyebrows (often referred to as the # 11, since that's what it looks like!).  My mother puts it into perspective by saying... "I have earned those lines and eleven is my lucky number!" 

I don't know about you, but I can't go in the Fall without a long sweatercoat, I love them and probably have too many.  This cute one I ordered from White House Black Market

I don't leave the house without my favorite lip gloss by MAC ...color: "Underage" (Don't you love the titles of lipstick and nailpolish?  That would be a cool job to have!)

Also, I can not live without Laura Mercier "Secret Camouflage".  This stuff can cover a zit the size of  a Limoges dinner plate!   I love flip flops, but when the weather gets cold here on the East Coast, I slip on my Rocket Dog clogs.  They go with anything and are so comfy (with or without socks!)

For hair I use Redken and the "All Soft" line.  Love the way it makes my hair feel...softer, shinier, thicker. (and it smells good too!)  OH! and I was asked a few times via email what bracelet I was wearing in the picture with the pumpkin on the previous post.  It's my FAVORITE accessory... I do get a lot of compliments on it when I am out and about...it was a gift from my parents for my birthday about 7 years ago, it's from Tiffany and it's called the Bone Cuff Bracelet.  I wear it almost everyday!  Love it.  Not sure if it's still available, since it was a few years ago, but it *rocks*!  More emails asking about my necklaces (dang my inbox was FULL after the last post! lol..I'm flattered, really!)  For necklaces I love to layer them...silver...gold...chunky, anything with charms, etc... the more the better I think! 

Ok...back to work...please share your "must haves" with me too!... Hope you have a fashionably fabulous weekend!~ xo

What a fantastic idea for a post! I'm just thinking of my own must-haves right now! Enjoy your weekend!

I have spent the summer in Asahi-Dashs' from Rocket Dog or a cute pink and brown pair of J-41 slip-on's. Dansko is the shoe of choice for the cool weather, paired with comfy Lucky Jeans and a toasty sweater..
Philosophy skincare and Clinique glosswear in Tender Heart.
I think its called signature style. Too bad I was not sporting those glasses for the past ten years. Like your brilliant Mother, I have earned this emerging 11 on my brow. Happy Weekend and Have fun with your couture project.

Yes, definitely sweater coats are on my list and i don't leave home without the rocket dogs in any style!!

Love that shoe - looks like a comfy wear for travel. The sweater is cute - I'm too short to wear that - Oh what I have to give up, being short!

You've got it all together Girl!!!

Love all of your essentials! Your bracelet is very captivating. My favorite look right now: Jumpers with a long tee under it and rainboots from the Gap!

Hi Tara,
Beautiful Blog! Your so inspiring.
I just got my Tracy Porter catalog & there is a long sweatercoat that has your name on it. I thought of you after reading this the other day.
Im originally from Erie Pa. right on the lake. Beautiful town & im so sad im so missing it right now.
PA. is beautiful this time of year!
I know its gorgeous where you live too!
Anyways...You sooo look just like this sweet girl Kelly Duska from back home. She is as gorgeous & stylish as you.
Its realy strange, I need to find her & show her your blog.
I know she would buy from your site.She's a shopper too.
Best Wishes ~
