I did a post not too long ago about tiered baby doll dresses. I found this one at Marshall’s for $16! Gotta love when I find great deals. Covered with a cream crochet vest and ankle wrap sandals – today’s outfit of the day is a remix of some items you’ve seen on my blog before.  image1 image5 image3 image7 image8 image10 image11Dress – Marshalls | Sandals – H&M | Vest – Burlington Coat Factory | Necklace – Plato’s Closet

Living on the Leather Edge

Every fashion girl has big dreams right? Like to have an infinite wardrobe or to be able to own the most expensive brands and styles. Sometimes when I’m walking through a department store, I dream of what it might be like to wake up every morning and get dressed from the entire store. Infinite clothes – infinite possibilities. Today’s style board is dreamin’ big at Saks Fifth Avenue – it’s titled ‘Living on the Leather Edge’ which is well, rather self explanatory! 😉 Here is the edgy leather outfit:

Manicure Monday – Salon Gel Manicure

Going to the salon to get a manicure is probably a once-every-few-months kind of thing for me. My nails are naturally long, so there isn’t a need for me to get fakes or acrylics and I change my nail polish like a 5 year old girl that can’t decide on an ice cream flavor, so it’s never really worth paying $20 for a manicure meant to last a few weeks. The only exception is when I go home, because I love this little salon called Stylist Nails & Spa. I have found they do better work than any other place I have been and I have yet to find a worthwhile salon in Rochester. But, I only go there for the gel nail polish because I can’t do it myself, it lasts forever and it gives my nails that glossy ‘fake’ look – but it’s au naturel under there!

However, this time I swear I was acting as the guinea pig for a lady who has never done a gel manicure before – they were gloppy, melted and my nails were literally attached to my fingers. She must have thought it was just as bad as I did because when it came time to tip her she wouldn’t allow me… and hey, call me crazy, but my nails are one of my pride-and-joys so it matters to me whether or not they look good. I mean it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I liked the color (I’m still trying to embody Betty Draper through my orange nails) and the more I look at them, the better they look to me.

But.. next time.. I’ll think twice about dropping $20 on a manicure. Maybe it’s just better off to do it at home.

Here they are… and the picture actually makes them look pretty good!

Let’s talk earring cuffs. Now I know the trend emerged a few years ago, but with the increasing styles and different takes on the cuff – I would say this accessory is still in it’s time. Today I’m sharing with you some fun cuffs in a variety of styles at (mostly) reasonable prices! Ranging from a full ear cuff, to a simple wrap, to an elegant dangle to edgy feathers it’s all on this board.

The fringe, it’s everywhere! Kimonos, shorts, shoes, heck, even my vest today is infused with the fun and fashion friendly fringe. While the items on this style board are a little bit higher than my usual price range – let’s think of it more as a wish list.

These must-have fringe items are trendy and light enough for the summer season!

Necklace (Shop Bop) | Black Bag (Sole Society) | Crop Top (Free People) | Earrings (Sam Edelman) | Dress (Yesstyle) | Purple bag (Neiman Marcus) | Black belt (BCBG) | Bikini (Miss Selfridge) | Tan Sandals (Minnetonka)

Hi Stylers –

I hope you all had a great weekend! Today’s ‘Manicure Monday’ requires very little supplies. All you need is a variety of shades in the same color. I recently posted a purple gradient manicure but here it is again in green!

greengradientIt’s simple and easy to do! And the gradient adds a little extra when you don’t have time to do an extravagant manicure.
