Simple Nail Designs

I don't know about you, but I have to have my nails painted at ALL times. When you look down and see your colorful nails, it's a great feeling. When you're in a rush, though, it is hard to make intricate and beautiful nails. So here are a few ideas!

1. French tips: Simply paint your nails one color, then let them dry. After that, paint a quick stripe across the tip in another color and you're done. If you're worried you won't get it straight, make a diagonal french tip. It looks perfect every time.

2. Polka dots: Paint your nails one color, then take the end of a sewing pin or the tip of an [empty] ballpoint pen and dip it into a separate color. After that, simply press the pin or pen onto your dry nail and voila!

3. Glitter: Paint your nails a single color. Then go over with any glitter polish. Mix it up with different sized glitter pieces or with different shapes or different colors. Either way, it's quick, easy, and totally cute.

4. Crackle: For this, you'll need Crackle nail polish. To do this design, paint your nails with one coat of regular nail polish. Let it dry, then paint one coat of Crackle. Wait a minute, the nail polish will "crackle" and reveal some of the polish underneath.

5.Saran-wrap nails: Paint you nails one color and let dry. Take a piece of saran wrap and ball it up. Paint your nails another color and BEFORE they dry, dab the nail with the saran wrap. It will leave you with a cool design.

May Your Nails Be As Beautiful As You! XOXO

Monday Blues

Monday has a bad rap, and yes, I'm guilty. You wake up and just groan. Must I go back to work? Must I go back to school? Friday is so far yet so close to Monday! So, how can we make Mondays more fun? Wear your favorite outfit!

Yes, that is a TARDIS on my shirt! This is my favorite Doctor Who shirt! If you don't know
what that is, it's a fantastic, brilliantly written, sci-fi British drama. My! that was a mouthful!
Anyways, by keeping the color palette black & white, I could mix prints and graphics.

My fabulous arm of bracelets to add to the color. My favorite
is the Paris charm bracelet!

My nails! Just solids today with an accent nail. I think I'm
going to change them today... Hm, decisions, decisions...

Show your fandom! XOXO

Stop the Cravings!

It's the middle of the afternoon. It's not quite dinner time, but it's past lunch. You begin to feel hungry but you don't know what to eat. Then, you end up going for the chips or the chocolate (I know I do!). Once you're done, you feel full... and guilty. Next time, why not grab some of these healthy munchies?

1. "Baked" Apples: Simply cut up an apple and place in a bowl. Add some water and microwave for about 1- 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and sprinkle on some cinnamon!
2. Yogurt Drops: Spoon small drops of yogurt (Any flavor) onto a plate. Freeze for 45 minutes - 1 hour. After that, take them off the plate and eat!
3. "Baked" Potato Chips: Yes, but not in the oven. In the microwave! I found it here and love it! It's simply thinly cut potato drizzled olive oil and pepper. Then put in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, flip, microwave for 35 seconds- 1 minute and you're done! Crispy goodness without preservatives and loads of fat.

Snack Healthy! XOXO

Prom Look

For some, prom has already happened. For some, prom has yet to begun and the question is; what to wear!? Something simple, yet chic. Something eye catching, but not outrageous. Something wearable, yet glamorous. It seems pretty tough, eh? Not so much. Here's some inspiration thanks to Polyvore!

 

The navy and the red contrast to be eye catching, but not outrageous (Just a pop of color!). The shape makes it wearable, but the jewelry makes it glamorous. The angles of the print make it simple, yet classic and chic. So what's the verdict? A-Lines are in. Simple prints too. Add a pop of color!

Flirty Floral Look

When I put this outfit together I got really excited. You know that feeling when you put together an outfit that you absolutely love? I got that feeling. The wings of the shirt balances the slight a-line of the skirt. Then add the belt which brings in the coral color of the flowers on the shirt; just pure happiness!



Since both the skirt and the top are navy, the look flows
without looking too matchy-matchy because of the pop of
color.

This belt is my new favorite! The stones encrusted in it adds character
and brings a pop of color and a focal point.

 Just looking at these pictures makes me grin. Is that weird? If it is, I don't care!

Dress for yourself! XOXO

Outfit of the Day

Spring has sprung, well, it's trying to! Today it was warm enough to wear a dress! Ah, 60s/70s, please stick around! Anyways, to celebrate this glorious occasion, I put this together!

I made these bracelets by wrapping
embroidery floss around some cheap plastic
bangles.

These kiwi inspired nails are fresh and fruity! This was inspired
by a design by Youtuber "cutepolish". See below for a list
of polishes used.

This navy dress with blue and green flowers is one of my favorites.
When paired with a black vest and grey crochet tights, (Yes, my legs aren't actually freakishly
light!) it looks so chic and flirty!**

This is the perfect outfit for the transitional weather and florals are trendy any time of the year. Try a dress sometime this spring. You won't regret it!

Swap your pants for a skirt! XOXO
