Multi-colored Nails: Part Two

Here is the second part to my multi-colored nails post. As I said earlier I used Essie colors French Affair and Tart Deco.

I chose pink and orange because I seem to be drawn to them lately, whether in my fashion or makeup choices. Try it out and tell me what you think!

Multi-colored Nails: Part One

So today I decided to try the multi-colored nail trend. I'm not certain I'm a big fan, but it's a fun change from my usual. When I find my camera cord I will upload the photos, but the camera cord is hiding very well so this could take some time! Sorry, lovies.

Pinterest

I was introduced to Pinterest a while ago, but it wasn't until recently I received a invite to join the 'pinning world'; and I've been obsessed since. Actually, you can now call me the pinning queen because it seems that's all I do lately... sign in to Pinterest and pin my little heart out. For those of you who live a sheltered life and are not sure what Pinterest is, well you are missing out. It's basically a way to create mini inspiration boards of whatever your heart desires. Check out a few of mine here!

Perfect Day

I stumbled upon this image today, and though today was far from perfect, it's the kind of inspiration that will get me through the rest of the week. Have a wonderful Thursday, lovies!

Just Say Yes

You probably know Snow Patrol from the 2007 hit 'Chasing Cars'. I love them and this song, so you should probably listen and then try not to fall in love.

Go-To Outfit

There are many times when time is of the essence and I have to be somewhere, well 5 minutes ago. A go-to outfit for these times is crucial for running home and running out the door. Above are a few pieces from Gap, that when pulled together make for the best anywhere outfit. I love how the yellow belt adds a pop of color to an originally neutral outfit.

Life Update

Oh hey lovies. I'm back, for real this time, I promise! The past two weeks have been absolute madness, but I have loved every bit of it. Between home renovations, my sister's college graduation, and family visitors I have hardly had any time to devote to anything other than family. Which I'm sure you totally understand! So here's the skinny on my life for the past couple weeks:



For Mother's Day I decided to help my mom and dad re-do their bedroom. Before the renovations my mom had installed a burgundy wallpaper, that was pretty, but made the room seem incredibly small. After weeks of searching for new color themes, I brought her out of her comfort level and painted the walls a pretty salmon color.  Our next project is the master bathroom, which I will do a much better job of taking before and after shots! I also promise to show an after picture as soon as I take one. (I know I'm a Slacking Sally)

After completing the renovations my aunt and uncle arrived from Florida for my sister's college graduation. With them, they brought Sami & Suzie (Jack Russell/chihuahua mix). The house full of dogs made for an interesting couple of days, but always fun.  Last Friday my sister graduated with a B.A. in Business Management... so proud! It was a bittersweet moment that made me realize I am getting old and I don't really like it. Hey life, you can slow down anytime now. I also, got to hang with some old friends, which always makes life better.



And as a graduation gift to herself, Amy brought home Macy! She is a beautiful 5 month old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix, who is extremely playful and smart. I have enjoyed the past couple days just playing with her and rubbing her belly, which she loves immensely. She also likes to run circles around the house, chewing on bricks, chasing bumble bees, and running in red mud. You know, typical puppy tomfoolery!

And last but not least a birthday shout out is due for one of the best friends ever, Mal!! We will be celebrating the big 2-4 this weekend, and hopefully I will have some tasteful pics to share with you next week. And if they aren't tasteful, then you will have to know that we had a fabulous time!
