SWEATER WEATHER

It's officially the first day of fall and you know what that means - it's finally sweater weather! Oh, did I mention it's still hitting 95 degrees here in Houston? It's time to drop the AC and sacrifice my electricity bill for the sake of fashion.

There's nothing better than curling up with a cozy sweater and taking in the cool temps. In my case, sweat it out a little. Anything for the feeling of my favorite season of the year! I'm loving the cool textures and prints to spruce up your wedding this fall.

See my favorite sweaters below.

MAUVE MOMENT

When it comes to our closets, everything is pretty black and white (and maybe grey). However, we're currently having a moment with mauve and we're not hiding it one bit. That's why we're sharing some mauve pieces that we're kicking off this warmer weather with. From lips to shoes, nails to clothing - we've got you covered for that monochromatic look or a splash of muted color.

ONE NIGHT, TWO EVENTS

Thursday was our time to attend the Primp & Pour event and finally try out the Santa Margherita wines that complement the nail polishes we've had so much fun playing with! (Check out Jess's post here and Jill's here.) The Sparkling Rosé we sipped on made the evening filled with manicures and girl talk perfect, as we totally enjoyed the retro-glam feel of Beauty Bar. Jess wore a dress from Gap, denim jacket from H&M, sandals from Steve Madden, GUESS jewelry, and a gifted clutch. Jill wore a Silence and Noise blazer, Ella Moss shirt, Forever 21 shorts, Stuart Weitzman wedges, a Steve Madden bag, and a vintage necklace.

Beauty Bar

We loved the girly, vintage look Anna chose!

We finally met Mary of Sportsanista!

If you haven't hit up a Primp & Pour date yet, this Thursday is your last chance. So get on it! RSVP here for one of the time slots available.

We weren't ready to go home just yet, so we headed over with our pretty manicures to the Sassy City Chicks event, which we found out about through Chicago Blogger Network. The mix of fabulous jewelry, clothes, and beauty products made the quick dash back downtown totally worth it. Check out some of our favorites we spotted!

Everyone's favorite, Stella & Dot was showing off their newest pieces! We met independent stylist, Sharon Millas (you can reach her at 773.301.3962 or sharonmillas@hotmail.com).

We were introduced to Colleen's Collection, jewelry inspired from "the beauty of life and nature". And you can see that in all of her pieces! Don't forget to follow her on Twitter and Facebook! She currently has a 20% off sale online, use JUNE20 at checkout to redeem.

Our last favorite of the night was Nomadic Ant, a Chicago based designer and retailer that features handmade pieces using unique metals, shells, and rare stones. We absolutely loved their necklaces, especially the brass mounted deer piece! Follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

Did you go to any exciting events over the weekend? Come back soon for more recaps!
