For the month of August, I wanted to highlight all of my favorite pre-fall fashion trends as well as what I’ve been up to the past few weeks! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Medi Tresse to discuss National Hair Loss Month in an effort to spread the word and help those who suffer. I’m also shining a spotlight on my favorite beauty treatments as well as some exclusive content from my Los Angeles trip last month. Keep scrolling to read about my August finds!

Tara’s August Finds:

#NormalizeWomensHairLoss:

I teamed up with Medi Tresse this month to support a very important cause that’s often overlooked: women’s hair loss. Hair loss affects every woman differently but did you know that 80% of women will experience hair loss in their lifetime? It’s a staggering statistic and while the root causes vary depending on the individual, it’s important to get a proper diagnosis from a medical expert as soon as you become concerned with the changes in your hair! Let’s work together to #normalizewomenshairloss: Medi Tresse offers treatment options and expert opinions for anyone who’s in need.

Check out my interview with Dr. Mary Wendel on IG for more!

Pre-Fall Fashion:

Tweed Skirts: This stunning outfit from Gretta Luxe features a bold tweed skirt from Proenza Schouler. This A-line piece has a voluminous silhouette, a high-rise, and a fitted waist with a faux leather self-tie belt. I kept it simple with accessories and paired it with a black cardigan, black pumps, and my favorite cat-eye sunnies! I have a feeling we’ll be seeing lots of tweed this Fall… are you on board with this trend?

Neutral Monochrome Outfits: I love neutral pieces because they go with everything! So what better way to pair them but with other neutrals? All available at Neiman Marcus, this look utilizes pieces that have similar, but not identical, color tones. A great way to play around with adding depth and dimension to your outfits is by pairing different materials and textures together while sticking to one color story!

Statement Heels: Hello, gorgeous! I am totally obsessed with these Dolce & Gabbana Cherry Leopard Baroque-Heel Sandals. They add an unexpected pop of color to any outfit, not to mention they’re oh, so sexy! The great thing about a statement heel is it allows you to keep the rest of your look pretty simple and fuss-free. When you’re rocking a shoe like this, it deserves to be the center of attention!

Health and Beauty:

DreamSpa Medical: I had the pleasure of checking out DreamSpa Medial (see more on my IG!) and trying two of their world class treatments - the Velashape and the EON. The Velashape treatment works to reduce cellulite and improve overall skin texture. It’s also fast, safe, and comfortable, you’ll begin to see improvement immediately but best results come in as little as 10 weeks!

The EON is a revolutionary new body contouring device that's a non-invasive treatment for eliminating stubborn fat. It delivers significant results in just one treatment! The advanced laser technology works to permanently eliminate more unwanted fat more comfortably without ever touching your body. Contact them today to schedule your appointment!

What to Watch:

My interview with Andrew Weitz, founder of styling and consulting firm: The Weitz Effect. Described as one of the best-dressed men in Hollywood, Andrew Weitz uses his innate sense of style to help clients look and feel their very best. Applying a holistic approach, Andrew works from the inside out—first understanding a client’s needs and goals, and then working with them to develop their personal style, build their confidence and ultimately reach a higher level of success in life.

My interview with Erin Simon, co-founder of Simon Wolff. Marilyn Monroe famously once said, “High heels make a woman 25% more dominant, 50% more self-secure, and 100% sexier.” Truth, Marilyn. Yet, while sky-high stilettos look like a dream, they can often feel like a nightmare. This is why Simon Wolff created their Stiletto Elixir! I chat with Erin Simon about this game-changing product that will make high heels a breeze.

Sex/Life: I’m loving this steamy watch that’s new to Netflix this summer! This series focuses on the story of a suburban wife and mother who takes a fantasy-charged trip down memory lane that sets her present on a collision course with her wild-child past. I highly recommend!
