And this one from Band of Gypsies

The price is unbelievable- under one hundred dollars….just sayin!

We have a dear friend (hello, Scott) who recently reminded us that we should all be sharing our favorite things! After all, how is a belle to know if other belles don’t share?! This got us thinkin’ about our go-to, daily products that keep us feelin’ and lookin’ good. Here are a few…
Most of these are in the daily rotation…while others (hello, Mario Badescu) are on an as-needed basis.
The perfect skin-polisher…
Tatcha enzyme powder gives the most gentle, beautiful glow! (It happens to be a fave of the new Duchess of Sussex, aka Meghan Markle as well!). Available at Sephora and Amazon
A multi-tasker for the hair…
R & Co Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner cleans and conditions all at once…and SMELLS AMAZING!!! Available at Amazon and Net-a-Porter
For the MANY days we skip shampoo altogether…
Bumble & Bumble pret-a-powder dry shampoo is the very best brunette-belle has ever used! Perfect for blondes as well, the brunette bonus is its utter invisibility! It gives volume and texture on the down-low. Brilliant!! Available at Walgreens and Amazon
Brow perfection…
Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil available at Sephora and Ulta – this little magic wand fills sparse brows in a snap
For a bit of stepped-up exfoliation…
French Girl Rose Facial Polish – while the Tatcha enzyme powder is a mild resurfacer, this polish turns it up a notch
To control shine and fight sun damage…
Supergoop! Invincible Setting Powder…available at Neiman Marcus and Sephora – perfect for a day on the run!
We’ll cover the next few items in a bit. Enough “favoriting” for now!

We’ve sported the chandelier, the tassel, the bon-bon…now it’s time to embrace chunky gold for the ears!
Here are just a few picks from Laura Lombardi at Net-a-Porter to get ya started…
The Mini Porta
The Link
And the Onda …with a removable silver-tone bonus!!
All of the earrings are hollowed out gold-tone brass so that they are lightweight and easy to wear all day! And at $75-$200…their price-per-wear is totally belle-ringin’!!

Belles love to shop…and we love to share! Here are some of our recent purchases that we just had to call to your attention.
The Simple Pump from Christian Louboutin is one of our favorites!! And this rich caramel color makes it irresistible! We both have them and wear them probably a bit too much…but we are working on decreasing the price-per-wear!
Available at Nordstrom
These sandals are going to be a belle’s go-to for day to night and everything in between. Whether it’s jeans, dresses, shorts, or cropped pants, these will make every combination!
From Net a porter by Rupert Sanderson
We have them. We think you need them too!!
