Grandma Sweater

Hello loves,

"One man's trash is another man's treasure." This statement rings so true to me:)!! I love going thrift store shopping because I always find great pieces that I can add to my wardrobe at a really good price. A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I went to our local Goodwill and I came across this grandma style cardigan that had a lot of patterns and flowers on it - which boarded the line of being really "ugly".  After contemplating whether or not to buy it, I finally gave in. I knew it had to come home with me and the more I thought about it, the clearer an outfit was becoming. It has so much personality and I am so glad I bought it. I was waiting for a perfect occasion to wear it and the occasion finally presented itself in the form of a Murder Mystery Dinner Show that took place in the 1950s. This is what I wore to solve the case and got a lot of compliments for it:).

How To: Conceal and Brighten Dark Circles

Hello loves,

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! My husband and I have a very busy calendar and the weekends always seem to fly by. This weekend was no exception. I guess that's why I am always tired. Lol. I am not complaining but it does take a toll on my face. On top of that, I've had dark circles since birth that doesn't help my situation either. Lol. So I've come up with a technique that not only helps to covers up my dark circles but also brightens up my eyes. Hope this technique is useful for you as it is for me:).

Colorful Grandma

Hey loves,

Fashion is something you have to take risk with. Sometimes it works.... and sometimes it doesn't. Today's outfit is one I was on the fence about. Lately, it has been a bit chilly here and I wanted to wear this lime green sweater that I got from Target on clearance recently:). Since it's a bright sweater, I wanted to pair it with a bright skirt for a very colorful outfit. Well, when we went to take the pictures my husband said I looked like a colorful grandma and didn't like this look at all. I didn't think I did but looking at it now, I think I do a little bit. Oh well...we still decided to shoot this look. I hope you guys like it and let me know what you think:). Enjoy!

Essie Butler Please Review and Swatch

Hey loves,
It has been a while since I did a review/ swatch for you guys. 2013 is turning out to be a very busy year for me and I am very thankful for that! With that being said, I am trying to find a way to balance all of my new hobbies together and making them work for meJ.

As many of you all know, I have nail polish obsessionJ. I have the video here to prove it. Lol. I love trying different brands of nail polishes and trying different nail design because that allows my creativity to flow. The other day I was at a local discount nail shop and came across the 2012 winter collection from Essie and bought Butler Please.

Butler Please is a very bright vibrant blue nail polish that looking amazing in the bottle but when you apply it, the color dries to a muted matte finish that looks terrible without a top coat. The polish is streaky and it’s not the kind of formula you would expect Essie to create. The nail polish didn’t go on smoothly as some other colors from this brand. I had to apply and re-apply the nail polish 3 times to get the color to look good. I would recommend when applying the color, don’t wipe away the excess on the edge of the bottleneck like you normally would but instead take a dollop of color and apply directly to the nail bed. That will allow you to get a full coat on your nails and it will still dry the same as if you applied a thinner coat. Overall, I have to say that this color looks great when it’s completed but it does take some work to get it there. If you have the patients to work with this color, I would say it’s worth picking because how beautiful color the color is…..but be aware you will DEFINITELY have to work with it.

Enjoy!

From one nail polish lover to another:)!
