Fall Favorites: Altuzarra for Target

Hello again, 3P beauties! I know it has been a while but if you are following me on Instagram or Facebook, you know I am still around and loving life.  While this first month of fall is already flying by, it still feels much like summer in my neck of the woods.  Of course, I am thankful for the sunshine, but at the same time I cannot wait for cool fall weather and the cozy sweaters, scarves, pumpkin lattes and fall leaves that are brought around with those cooler days.  And of course, Target has a great fall designer collaboration out for all of us to enjoy- here are a few of my favorites from the Altuzarra for Target collection.  Do you have any favorites you are eying or have you scored a new closet gem from this collection already?

1. This orchid print maxi dress is elegant in its simplicity and I can picture it dressed down with a jean jacket and boots, or up with a statement necklace and sparkly heels.

2. Paired with a pencil skirt or jeans, this orchid print sweatshirt would make your daily fall uniform come together in a fashionable snap.

3. In fall's hottest hue, this green python sweatshirt is the perfect fall addition to your wardrobe.

4. For an instant strong, stylish statement, layer this contrast-sleeve trench over your favorite fall frock.

5. Over-the-Knee Boots are not anything I have ever worn before, but these designer beauties at an approachable price are enticing.

6. I love a good peasant blouse for fall, and this rich plum number has detailing galore to enjoy- no necklace required.

Blue crush

Like a deep deep sea on a blue blue day!  Blue is a color that works in any season, for any occasion.  And for those that follow me along here in the 3P world, you know that this girl loves blue.  Here are some of my current crushes in my favorite hue for spring.  Yes, its true- I am always crushing on anything blue!

1. Hive & Honey chambray dress // 2. Stella & Dot capri cotton wrap // 3. Kate Spade linear drop earrings // 4. Stella & Dot avalon bracelet clutch // 5. Nine West cocktail hr wedge sandal // 6. Forever 21 tie-dyed head wrap // 7. Stella & Dot rory necklace // 8. Essie nail polish bikini so teeny // 9. Gap bomber jacket

Happy Monday, 3P lovelies!  It was a wonderfully rainy weekend for me, which made for the perfect time to stalk the new Peter Pilotto for Target collection online and catch all kinds of wonderful glimpses into #NYFW.  I haven't pulled the trigger get on purchasing any of these amazing Peter Pilotto designs, but I have rounded up my favorites into my shopping basket.  Did you score anything from this Target collection this weekend?  What are your favorite pieces?

Its the little things

In life, it really is the little things that count: the little things that make you smile, laugh, bring your joy, or conjure up a wonderful memory.  I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many little wonderful things in life, and have the good man upstairs to thank for that each day.  Here's just a peek at some of the little things that have brought a certain amount of happiness into my recent days.  What are the little things in life that are making you smile now?

Current beauty favorites

Every now and then I like to share a snapshot of my favorite beauty supplies.  Back in high school, I rarely used any products- now I am possibly a product junky of sorts.  I love feeling pampered with great products- the only drawback is the tapping of my man's toes as he waits for me to finish using said products and FINALLY be ready to leave the house.  You know what I mean, beauty product ladies!  These beauty items are my favorites for this hot summer weather that seems to be never-ending.  Leave a comment and let me in on your favorite products for warm weather days!

Stella & Dot Elephant pouf, John Frieda Fine to Full blowout spray, Bumble and Bumble surf spray, Benefit CORALista, bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss, Kate Spade Twirl, Benefit Fake Up, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer,  Essie Come Here, Vaseline Spray & Go moisturizer 

Instagram, lately

Just a peek at my life, as uploaded to Instagram in the past few weeks.  Some days have been so busy that snapping an IG shot is nearly impossible, but anytime I do, the sparkles and filters on the 3P Instagram page give me a peek into a world see through rose colored glasses!  Find me on Instagram and Twitter @3Pprettyblog.
