When fall rolls around, so does my favorite season of fashion.  I love breaking out my tall boots, warm knits, plaid, and rich colors.  I love playing with layering during this season and winter, and my layering trick year round is to nail it on the accessories that you pair with the clothes.  You can never go wrong with tall boots, for example (I'm wearing my trusty black Hunter boots), and I also added on my Matt & Nat 'Mini Mitsuko' bag in black.  Matt & Nat makes the most gorgeous minimalistic vegan bags!

I love the look of a button down under a sweater and one of my favorite layering techniques is rolling the sleeve of the button down over the sleeve of the sweater and adding a few things to my wrist to tie the outfit together.  I'm wearing my favorite bracelet from Kristine Lily and this gorgeous Zebrawood and Champagne women's watch from JORD.  Their have such a unique watch collection: their pieces are made of wood like this one and they have a variety of men's and women's pieces.  I was honestly stunned with the quality when I opened it (you may have seen my unboxing on my Instagram story- @juliacmazzucato)  A watch is such a smart piece and one of my favorite fall accessories, and these ones are definitely worth checking out.

Letters on Lemons {Giveaway}

Custom Case: Caseapp ℅

When life gives you lemons...

you put them on a iPod skin and slap a monogram on it.  

CaseApp reached out to me to design a custom case or skin, and I was so excited to see that they had skins for my iPod Touch!  It feels like I'm the only person without an iPhone nowadays- all my friends have one and constantly update to the newest version.  I was never able to find a covering for my beloved pink iPod Touch... or at least one that I liked.

The design was in my hands when I created my custom skin, and it was incredibly easy!  I just had to upload an image to serve as a background, and I could customize with text, art, and other fun details.  I chose a lemon print by Kate Spade, and of course I had to add my monogram on there.

The skin came in the mail even quicker than I expected- and I loved that they included two copies of the skin just in case!  It is a more durable material than I was anticipating.  I thought it would be a sticker, but it's made of a really unique adhesive that is actually protective.  

One of my main concerns was that the white background of my print would get dirty, but after days of use, it remained good as new, which is quite the feat.  I usually just toss my iPod into my bag, and there's all kinds of stuff in there at the bottom of my tote, so it staying clean is quite impressive!

I'm happy to say that I love my custom iPod skin.  CaseApp is wonderful for creating your own special design, and they have so many options- iPhone and Samsung cases, MacBook skins, and more.

CaseApp and I are giving one of you the opportunity to design your own custom case or skin!  Enter to win in the Rafflecopter below.  Good luck!

Banana Colada Shake + Giveaway {With Quest}

Rich, creamy, sweet, and tropical, you'd never guess that this shake was protein packed and low in sugar.  With my first sip, the coconutty and banana flavor reminded me of all my Hawaiian vacations.  Mmm, sipping a shake on the beach in Hawaii... sigh.

This shake starts with Quest's Banana Cream protein powder, which is the newest protein powder flavor alongside Salted Caramel.  Then all you need is coconut milk and ice!  You can also add in a spoon or two of shredded coconut flakes!  I used about 1 teaspoon of these.

Super rich, creamy, foamy, and all other delicious adjectives.

1/4 cup Quest Banana Cream Protein Powder (about 2/3 of a packet)
