I'm Baaaaack!!

I'm finally back to blogging again! It has been entirely too long and I have seriously missed it!
 
For today's post I have a couple of different looks for you as well as a mani and pedi. First, the mani, I used OPI's San Tan-Tonio as the base color. Once that dried I took black rhinestones and lined them down the middle of each finger. Here's how they turned out:
 
 

 
This mani was so simple and fast and I absolutely love it! Alex and I were going out with a couple of friends that night and I wanted to have something on my nails that was a little more fancy than I normally do. I think it went perfectly with my outfit and I literally did them in less than an hour!
 
 
Next we have a pedi that I did a few weeks ago for Valentine's Day. For my base I used Confetti's First Kiss ( which I found to be totally appropriate for V-day). I then used clear rhinestones and made a half moon shape with them on both my big toes and then on the rest I did a single rhinestone on the base and in the middle. Here is how those turned out:


 
I really liked this pedicure because it was simple yet classy and of course I loved the little bling it added!

Next I have a couple different outfit looks that I put together and wanted to share.

For the first look I paired skinny jeans with a white tank top and a black fitted blazer over that. To add a little extra something I added my leopard print infinity scarf as well as my leopard flats. For the accessories I paired the outfit with my gold watch as well as a few different bracelets in the same color family to match the outfit - so blacks, golds, & even some brown.

 
I love this look for a day at the office or even for going out shopping with your girls. It's simple to put together and very comfortable. A blazer over any t-shirt helps to put an outfit together without any effort.
 
My next look is very similar, just spiced up a bit with some wedges. For this outfit I wore skinnies again and rolled the bottoms, then wore a loose fitting racer back blouse. Over my blouse I wore a brown loose fitting sweater and to finish it off used another leopard print scarf. For my shoes I chose a camel brown wedge that helped add a pop of color with the yellow around the trim of the shoe.


I really liked this outfit, but next time think I would pair it was a brown leather jacket and also use a scarf that had more color in it, maybe even yellow to help the shoes to pop a little bit more. Overall, I did like the outfit, but would make a few tweaks.

For tomorrow's post I will be posting a review of a couple different make up companies that I use and also possibly a makeup tutorial if time permits.

Hope everyone had a fabulous Tuesday and it feels great to be back!

Smile for the Glam-Era! and Some Accessories

I have been so busy with the holidays lately that I just haven't had time to post and I am so sorry for that. As promised, a couple days late, here are the pictures of the Nicole by OPI nail polishes I purchased the other day.

Yesterday I had the chance to try out another one of these four amazing polishes. Here is how Smile For The Glam-Era!
 
I have to say that while this polish is gorgeous on and I love the little flecks of glitter in it, the formula was awful. It would dry as I was putting the second stripe of polish on, then would start clumping up. You had to work pretty quickly and add a little more polish to the brush in order to get it to go on smoothly. Thank goodness I had my boyfriends amazing cousin, who is a manicurist, doing them for me! Like I said though, this is a gorgeous deep burgundy and I love how they turned out!
 



I also wanted to share with you another passion of mine, which is making jewelry. Here are few of many different bracelets I've made and sold. Hope you like them :)

Bracelets are the Perfect Accessory!

Happy Election Day America! Hope everyone went out and voted!

Today's post is going to be about my favorite accessory, BRACELETS! I am loving all the pins on Pinterest where people are layering their bracelets and playing with different colors. I've always been one against gold accessories, now I find myself constantly going for my gold watch and gold bracelets. I don't know what it is, but there is something simply classy about a nice gold watch and some bracelets.

Here's a few pictures of how I like to accessorize with bracelets:

 
 

Here's a couple of my favorite staple pieces:
I picked up this beauty on Hautelook.com

 
I got this at a local shop, the company is called Good Works
Make a Difference, www.GoodWorksMakeaDifference.com,
they are an awesome company!
 
 

This gorgeous bracelt was given to me by my mom and dad for
for my birthday this past year. These bracelets are also made locally
and the lady hand makes all of them. They are simply gorgeous.
 

 
Sorry to keep it short again, but its been another long day, between working on our business and working in the orchard today I am beat!
 
Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!
