Friday I'm In Love

I swear my school's campus was made for photo shoots... 

This past Friday, I got a little too excited about the spring-like weather - especially after a week of cold, wind, and rain. So, in the essence of spring, I decided to go for a super-romantic flowy top with lace detail. Keeping with the soft and sweet theme, I opted for a pair of pastel colored jeans. I own just about the entire rainbow in colored jeans, but the pale lavender pair that I chose are by far my favorite! Finally, I finished the look with my short black boots, for a bit of hard and soft contrast.

I think this outfit represents my personal style pretty accurately. I am always combing soft, pretty pieces with accessories that add the right amount of edge. How would your describe your personal style? Share in the comments below!!

Tangled Up In Blue

Happy Monday, beautiful!

Today I decided to go beyond my normal routine of plain-jane nails and have some fun with the trends popping up from the Fashion Week runways.

Although we're not usually focusing on the hands of the models going down the runway, you better believe that as much planning goes into these model's fingernails as the rest of their ensemble. From funky gems at Libertine to bright colors and studs at Kate Spade, each nail was like a little masterpiece!

But if you're anything like me, the thought of attempting those intricate nail designs can make your head spin! I am the farthest from a beauty expert, so I hoped to see some edgy yet simple-to-do styles!

Finally, while flipping through the latest issue of Seventeen (with my newest guilty pleasure Carly Rae Jepsen on the cover!) I came across a page dedicated to mani's covered in graphic lines and angles. What stuck out to me the most was a look from the Rouland Mouret Paris Fashion Week runway.  Clear polish with a diagonal stripe at the tip - simple yet totally cool!

I decided to take a whack at it and I love how it turned out! Try this look out for yourself and let me know what you think!

The final product!
