Natural Alternative to Botox: Naturalis Mask

After I turned 30, I have been testing every possible anti-aging treatment under the sun that’s organic, natural and free of animal-derived ingredients. Sadly, nothing matched the results of a light chemical peel… until I tested the Naturalis EASY MASK. The affect was instantaneous and reduced fine lines and illuminated my skin unlike anything I had ever tried. Check out my video below to learn more about this Italian Ecocert-certified organic mask and how to use it for magical results. 

if you get as excited about it as I am, we have an exclusive introductory MISSQA discount for the holidays only! See the offer below and treat yourself to look and feel your best; the single mask makes an amazing gift as well. If you have tried the mask already, let me know what you think!

Eco Jeans for Fall

I never wear jeans in the summer (too hot!), but absolutely love them in the fall. I have one fantastic pair of ankle length dark wash Levis with white sticking (casual) and one pair of high waisted dark wash Prairie Underground jeans with two zippers at the front (fancy and cool, but the zippers come undone if I sit down for too long or eat a full dinner so they dont work for dinner parties:-)

Time to find a few new pairs. My favorites are in dark green or wine red or a dark blue, romantic vintage wash. See the slideshow below for my favorites. Let me know what your must-haves are!

STYLE: DKNY Jeans Faux Fur Coat

Vogue has featured faux fur as a “glamorous,” even “cinematic” option! This gorgeous piece is by DKNY Jeans. The word in the Twitter world is that the coat only comes in black ($495). I have Tweeted DKNY Jeans (as I, for one, would love to white one), so be sure to follow us on Twitter to get the scoop!

THE FIND: BOTTEGA VENETA VEGAN HANDBAG

What did you think of the Puerto Rico vacation videos? I would love to hear!

Back to business, it’s time to find the IT-bag for fall. As my signature bag, I have been carrying a stunning black Stella McCartney tote for the last several seasons during which I have also acquired a collection of Matt & Nat purses and clutches. Thinking of a smaller signature bag for this season, I’m head over heels with this first-ever vegan and eco-friendly Bottega Veneta. The bag will be available in November (a few hit the stores during Fashion’s Night Out), so there’s a bit of time to save up!

STYLE: MONOCHROMATIC PURPLE
We think monochromatic bright colors are the new black for fall! When the days get shorter, a major pop of color in your outfit is a guaranteed mood booster. To keep the style office-friendly, I paired a purple/lavender blouse and pencil skirt with dark purple pumps. What do you think of this look?

BEAUTY: BORDEAUX NAIL POLISH AND LIPS

I discovered this dark red varnish by Gabriel Cosmetics at Whole Foods and fell in love instantly-so sophisticated and perfect for fall! For a matching beauty look, try dark purple eyeshadow and lipstick by Aveda:
