I accidentally fell into a color theme this year with these gorgeous rose gold shades. Maybe I'm influenced by my surroundings because we see a lot of this shade in Phoenix. Many of the houses are similar to this color and the landscape too, so it feels like a perfect color to add this year. The North Face jacket is perfect for chilly desert mornings and I wear sandals year-round, so I figure why not try a matching pair?

Navy sandals are something I've needed and I'm excited to try Mephisto at a good price. AG jeans, well those are my all-time favorites and this ankle length is great year-round here.

I don't usually go for beauty/hair products at NAS, but after a year of neglecting my makeup and hair care assortments, I decided to order a couple of items. I like almost everything R+Co makes so this package looked like a nice deal, and I'm hoping that MAC lip color will be flattering. (Yes, I'm making up for lost time by wearing lip color again, with a vengeance!). Look forward to seeing everyone else's picks!

ETA sunglasses. These were a last-minute addition and another Arizona essential. It's a bit of a risk as the item name says 48mm (lens size) but the description says 54mm. My favorite sunglasses are 48mm (small face!). But, they look great for the price so I thought I'd give them a whirl.
