This, That, + The Other.

A few things on my radar this week…

After my sister and a good friend gushed over GlamGlow skincare ($19-$69, depending on size), I had to give it a whirl.  I’m eagerly awaiting my Sephora delivery (whattup, #VIBRouge) and the expectations are high after reading this review.  Most popular skincare item at Sephora?  UM, how did I miss this until now?  (P.S., a dear friend is a product manager at Sephora and recently designed + launched their new subscription box service, called Sephora Play.  Sign up here.)

I’ve probably already bored you to tears by talking about the dangerous shopper’s rabbit hole that is Yoox.  But girrrrrl.  You can find some serious deals up there if you — like me — consider bargain hunting a sport worthy of hours of dedication.  Case in point: these Missoni loafers, down from $600 to a mere $120.  Wut.

Apparently, people go nuts over Tata Harper and her line of organic skincare.  I want to join the Tata Tribe by giving her highly-touted facial cleanser ($58) a go.

I’ve been into zippers for the fall season.  Anyone else?  I was attracted to this maroon-hued lovely, but can’t vouch for its quality.

I have been heavily eyeballing this side-zip tunic ($89) in a few awesome fall colors.  Also considering this Gap style ($59) — the striped one has my full attention.

I mean…have I beaten the dead horse enough yet?  The bucket bag is errrything and more this season.  Especially by Mansur Gavriel ($695) in an elegant cream.

Have heard that Charlotte Tilbury’s magic cream is the bees knees ($100).  I’ve been using a bunch of different facial lotions over the last few months — from LaMer to Fresh’s Lotus Youth Preserve cream to Dr. Hauschka’s Rose Light Day Cream.  I’ve liked them all but not loved one intensely, so I’ll continue the search.  This could be my next candidate.

This tasseled sweater ($130) is the funkiest antidote to feeling bored with a jeans-and-sweater combo.  Finish with burgundy flats (love these sweet bow-toes! — $101) and a flannel tote (Alexander Wang, $1,401):

Saw this capelet-sweater thing ($98).  Had to have it.  Lovelovelove.
