Nailed it

Written by , Posted in FASHION

For anyone that knows me knows I have an obsession with keeping my nails well manicured and groomed. I make it a point to have my nail appointments scheduled every 2 weeks with my nail lady, Sophia – the only one that I’ve come to trust when it comes down to my preference and style. I have been getting gel manicures for the past 3 years, and honestly don’t see myself switching back to regular manicures. It’s great to be able to wash dishes or do other household chores and not worry about chipping your nail polish. I prefer OPI gel polish to the Shellac gel, as I find it to be thicker and more durable. Throughout the past couple years, I’ve taken pictures of some of the designs I’ve gotten and am sharing them with you today. I apologize for the quality (they were all taken with my iPhone) and for not knowing the names of some of the nail polishes (some days I just left it up to Sophia to work her magic). You’ll also notice that I am one to always change my nail colors with the seasons.

What’s in my bag?

Written by , Posted in FASHION

I figured this would be a fun post as I share the contents of what you would find in my purse on a daily basis. Aside from the millions of receipts that I tend to accumulate, I find the bigger the purse, the more stuff that seems to find its way in there. So let’s get started.

whatsinmybag

Contents:

1) My Tory Burch bag. I’ve had this bag for about a year and a half and I absolutely love it. It’s simple yet stylish and practically goes with every outfit. It has become my roomy, everyday staple.

2) To go along with my Tory Burch obsession is my Tory Burch wallet. It perfectly complements by handbag, plus it has ample space for credit cards, a coin purse, etc.

3) My make-up bag from Bath and Body Works that ironically holds everything but make-up. {i.e. hand sanitizer, Tide-to-go pen, Advil, mirror, etc.)

4) My lipsticks and lip balm. Depending on the day, my go-to choices are Chanel’s Rouge Coco in Camelia, YSL Rouge Volupte #1 and Burt’s Bees lip balm with pomegranate oil.

5) My iPhone 5 that is encased in my new J.Crew leopard cover. Absolutely love it and it’s now on sale!

6) My older pair of Dior sunglasses, although I’ve been sporting these as of late.

7) My Orbit gum, for obvious reasons.

8) And finally my keys, that are loaded with store cards that make my keys bulkier and as a result easier to find in my bag.

Happy Tuesday and thanks for reading!
