VESTS ARE A GREAT FALL ADDITION
Today was one of those days that I spent my wheels and got very little accomplished. I did manage to video (I haven’t checked it yet) my makeup routine when I only have about 5 minutes to get out the door. I am crossing my fingers that it is presentable to use later on. And I did pay a few bills at work and answer lots of emails. Then I got a phone call from my hairdresser that changed all my other plans.
I am really good friends with my hairdresser and she knows that I can usually come at a moments notice if I need to. My hair appointment was scheduled for Friday and I have been counting down the days because my bangs have been staying in my eyes lately. She had a cancellation and was desperately trying to get someone to fill it. I told her that if she couldn’t find anyone else that I would do it. That is when she informed me that she had already called everyone she could and it was down to me. No pressure here. Lol! So, I waved to Joe and headed out the door. I have learned in life that you do not want to make the person in charge of your cut and color mad. You could leave the salon looking like a scalped skunk. Hahaha! 
I have been on the lookout for vests and kimonos this fall. I like how easy they are to wear over your existing summer tops and still give you a little warmth. I bought this mocha colored vest strictly for the color. Even though I LOVE bright colors there are just times when I want to wear black, brown, navy, and gray. Fall is the perfect time to indulge my “dark” side and wear brown. This vest still looks very feminine because of the cascading ruffle down the front. I bought this one at Cato Fashions and it comes in brown and gray.
I am truly loving the new fall line of jewelry from Plunder Design. I placed another order today, this makes three, and there is still more things that I NEED. I am starting at the top and working my way down. The Michelle earrings are super duper cute. I couldn’t wait to get this pair. They have a 3″ drop and since I am wearing my hair longer I find that I like a longer earring. The matching necklace to this pair is the Vivi. It is made up of lots of little gold triangles and is 18.5 to 21.5 inches long. The longer multi-strand leather necklace is the Rhiannon. It is really long, 36″ to 39.5″ and it has little gold circles that dangle and some gold beads that are attached to the leather strands. I have the matching bracelet on my left arm. I know it is a little hard to see since I have on about 5 Alex and Ani bracelets. Lol! And, finally, I have on the Ennis bracelet to the right. I love this piece! It opens in the front on a hinge making it extremely easy to get on and off. It has so many fall colors in enamel and then accents of rhinestone and pearls. This bracelet is not adjustable and it is a 7″ cuff. ANYONE who signs up to be a Plunder stylist by September 30th will receive 10 EXTRA pieces of jewelry!!! That is a total of 19 pieces for 99.00. That is just a little over 5.00 per piece. That is insane, nuts, just flat out crazy. If you have ever thought about becoming a stylist NOW is the time. Go to www.plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and hit the PLUNDER OPPORTUNITY button. Email me if you have any questions.
I carried this beautiful Dooney and Bourke purse before and I know several of you asked me what the name of it was. I have no idea. I looked inside and found a serial number but I searched Google and it said that you can not determine the name from the serial number. Then I went to eBay and typed in Suede Dooney & Bourke in Beige and about three of them popped up. It is called the Tulip Shopper just in case Google wants to know. My fringe sandals are by Sole Society and the name of them is the Koa. 
These Kut from the Kloth jeans were in my StitchFix box that I got last month. I almost didn’t keep them because I have plenty of other jeans and I thought why would I need another pair. I am so glad that I decided to keep them though because I have worn them several times since I got them. The reason is that they fit like a glove, they a super soft, and I love the deep dark color.
Today is the last day to get the Regimen/Hydration Serum combo with the FREE mini travel regimen. The mini travel regimen will be the same regimen that you order and it is approximately 2 weeks worth of extra product. I have 5 mini eye creams that I will give to the first 5 ladies who place a regimen/hydration combo purchase as a Preferred Customer (PC). That will make your mini regimen complete!!! Go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.com and scroll down to become a PC or just hit shop if you are already a PC. The combo purchase can be found under the FEATURED tab.

I am going to learn alot from you. Thank you so much for your precious time for showing us how to dress and have style. ❤
How much weight have you lost? looking good!
Love that vest!!
Your blog has given me a new outlook on how I put things together- we are leaving for a river cruise in France in 2 weeks- I was going to take a denim jacket- but it was a little too casual- after your post about your blazer I remembered a beautiful one I have from Anthropology- black- rolled cuffs- the perfect answer for my dilemma- thanks so much for making it much easier to pack and now everything goes together just like I had hope!!
Best to you,
Susan Drew
Susan, the cruise sounds fabulous! You need to be sure to check out my blog post tomorrow. There is something on there that you will love.
Cute cute cute Tanya! You look so slender in this outfit and I just love the best and all the fussy jewelry. But your shoes and your purse are to die for two! And your hair as always looks adorable. Joe is a lucky man!
I tell him that all the time, Charlcy. I don’t think he believes me yet. Lol!
WOW!! You look super cute, today, Miss Tania! ❤️your vest and your new Plunder is fantastic!
If I sign-up to become a consultant is there any benefit YOU receive or is it better for you that I buy jewelry thru your party?
I watched your Rodan + Fields tutorial and was very excited to see your puppy walk in, he’s SO CUTE!! We have kitty cat love at our house. Love pets!! I have to agree with your fellow readers that you are a very beautiful lady with or without make-up.
Here are SOME really great things that have happened to me since your blog found me on Pinterest:
I wash my face at night so that I may use R+F lash regimen. I ❤️My Plunder jewelry. I now know about Cato’s! I’ve lost 12 lbs so I’m down a size in tops. I began weaving my hair–HUGE difference! AND, here’s the B-I-G one, my hubby loves it ALL! We read your blog together!
We love ALL your funny stories, too!! My gosh, you make us seem normal!! ?
Annie, you are the inspiration! Down 12 lbs!!! You need to tell us your secret and please don’t say exercise and eating less. Lol! As far as Plunder goes, the benefit is for you. You get to purchase your jewelry at cost.
LMBO!!!!! Okay, I won’t tell you! Oh boy, now I gotta think about the Plunder thing! Sweet dreams to you, Miss Tania and to ALL!! ?☁️✨
Great outfit. Love the vest, and it has pockets. Have a great day!! Oh I have sent another order in also.. Love fall!!
I am like you, Jeanne. I love pockets on clothing.
Thank you for the purse ? info!?. I love the outfit! You look very pretty!!!
I look forward to reading your blog. You always look so good!!!
Great fall outfit. Question whats the quickest way to change your purse daily? Have a great day.
I like to keep things in different wristlets. That way you only have a couple other items to change out. If I know that I am only going to be carrying that purse for a day then I will only change out the essentials.
I’m really enjoying your blog! As a hairstylist for over 35 years, we love clients/friends like you. Your hair is darling and I love that vest on you!
Hi Tania. Like your outfit. The color of vest is really nice. The jeans do look good on you. I recently signed up for Stitch Fix & was surprised how well the clothes fit. Are you enjoying your boxes? I know I am. You should show us your clothes from Stitch Fix some time. Love to see what you got. Have great day.
Johnna, right now I am on the fence with StitchFix. The first box was okay and the second box all I kept was the jeans. I am giving it one more try before I decide. If I don’t like this box then I may try another service since there are plenty out there to choose from.
Do you like Birchbox? I thought about trying it. By the way since I started reading your blog I find myself wanting to dress better even on days I don’t have to. Thanks for inspiration. I’m even wearing more jewelry!
I did Birchbox but honestly, there were very little products in the boxes that I liked or would use. The only thing that I can remember loving from one of the boxes was the eyeliner that I use all the time called Doucce. I buy it from Amazon now.
Thanks for the tip. I think I’ll pass on that.
I agree Lisa! Would love to see a tutorial on Tania’s gorgeous hair as well. ?
Can we look forward to a new hair tutorial now that you’re wearing it longer???? Yes please!! 🙂
I love your hair and plan to show your picture to my hairdresser. It would be helpful to know your hair type, texture, thickness, products you use etc so that my hairdresser can determine if this style would work for my hair. Thanks!
Lisa, I am going to do another tutorial on my hair. My hair is coarse and very thick.
Hi Tania! Love the vest, gorgeous color on you. Have you already shared a video on how you do your skincare? I thought I remembered you doing one with an R+D regimen. Let me know where I can locate it. Looking forward to the makeup one!
????
Obviously I meant R+F! ?
I think I was thinking “research & development”….too much work on the brain ?
Sandy, I have done two skincare tutorials. The last one I did was in April and here is where you find it.

Cute look Tania – had to giggle when I saw we were both wearing animal print yesterday – a true sign that it’s a must have 😉

This is so pretty! And your hair looks great! Does the vest run large at all? I usually take an XL and all that is left is the Large.
Shelia, I am normally a size 10 or a large when it comes to clothing. This vest is a size large. I would take the chance if you like it. You probably wouldn’t be able to wear it over a sweater but everything else will probably work.
Just tried to order the cute brown ruffle vest at Cato and it says they don’t deliver to CA!!!!! What the heck?! That’s rediculous! Any ideas now on how to get that vest? Geese.
Susan, what size do you need? I can check my store and ship it to you if they have your size.
I was going to try L. What size did you wear?
If you can get it in Large/Brown at your store, let me know the details on how to do that. Thanks so much.
I’ll go down there tomorrow.
Susan, mine is a Large.
Ok, you can email me at velazqueen@gmail.com if you do find one L/Brown. Thanks again!
