Just in time for Fashion Week!! This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Dina Mackney. I stumbled upon her designs on Instagram and have been following her ever since. Her jewelry is dramatic yet quite elegant. The colors that she uses are so vibrant and alive. Every single piece is a true showstopper. I have the rainbow necklace showcased below and I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments I get every time I wear it. I especially love Dina’s statement ring collection. What a wonderful addition to your Fall wardrobe. To see the complete line for yourself, click HERE. I was also lucky enough to interview Dina this Fashion Week and get some of her recommendations on building the perfect jewelry wardrobe.

This recipe is easy and healthy. It is a great alternative to mashed potatoes and most people who HATE vegetables end up LOVING it!!! Enjoy!!!
If there is one brand you should check out this Fall it is Frances Valentine. Kate Spade’s new accessory line. I visited the showroom for their Fall Sneek Peek and I was amazed at all the beautiful designs. There are so many gorgeous styles with an incredible use of textures. I loved everything. I really could not choose a favorite but was able to ask Andy and Kate Spade what theirs were. Andy’s choice was the glitter Mary Janes and Kate loves the stacked heels with the fur pom poms and ankle straps. I take one of each, please. To see the entire Frances Valentine line, click HERE.
The Super Solano is my favorite hairdryer. I have had it for years. I was first introduced to this awesome dryer at the Federick Fekkai salon. It reduces drying time and leaves your hair soft and shiny. For more information, click HERE.
The Harry Josh dryer has been on my wish list forever, It is said to be the hair dryer used on the beautiful locks of Gisele. I’ve seen it used a fashion week and read tons of articles on how this is the best dryer available. It has the ability to change between ionic (sleek and straight) and nonionic (mega volume). I hear this is THE dryer to own. It’s compact but super powerful. For more information, click HERE.
The Con Air Infinity Pro Performance dryer has been awarded one of the best beauty buys by InStyle Magazine. It does all that the more expensive Ionic dryers do for must less in price. For more information, click HERE.
The last dryer on our list is they Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer. It is the Rolls Royce of hair dryers. It delivers digital heat for shine, it drys hair super fast and leaves hair feeling smooth and shiny. For more information, click HERE.

This week’s Real Estate Stalking is one of my favorites. This masterpiece Tuscany home’s history dates back to 1549 when Michaelangelo first purchased it, almost 30 years after he painted the Sistine Chapel. The original deed comes with the sale that lists Michaelangelo as “a dear sculptor and Florentine citizen”!!! The current owner has painstakingly restored the home to its original glory. On the property, there is a vineyard, olive groves, lemon groves and an original oil mill. In fact, many of the original accents in the home from the 11th century still stand today!! AMAZING!!!
