Festive for the Holidays

With Christmas just a few days away, it's time to think about all things festive...and why not even include your nails! I have always been obsessed with finding new ideas for nail polish colors and patterns, and recently I have found a few on the fun side. On the left, I decided to go with a glittery-girly look: a metallic gold glitter on all of the nails. The fourth finger has a black crackle polish over the gold glitter. This look works really well for a cocktail event, or maybe even New Years! On the right, I decided to venture out and try Sally Hanson's new nail effects. I chose the leopard pattern (duh) and it ended up looking fantastic. This look would be great for a night out or even a good way to liven up your daily attire. So, be bold for the holidays and add some festivity to your nails!!

Best Dressed

Emma Watson

My apologies for being a little M.I.A. lately. Even though school has kept me busy most of the time...I have also fit in time to lust over celebrities outfits for all of the major Hollywood events. Although the premiere for My Week With Marilyn was about two weeks ago, I can't stop thinking about Emma Watson's super chic girly-girl ensemble. The fun, feathery top stays classic with it's neutral color- and the added touch of the thin black bowed belt completely accentuates her tiny waist. This top, paired with a great closet-must-have skirt, looks amazing. Although I would have gone with a different black shoe (not so much a fan of the thin strap across the ankle), I am absolutely obsessed with her clutch (of course I am...it's leopard!). I think the clutch just finishes off the outfit perfectly. The outfit is entirely, classicly-chic while still showing a trendy side with the feathers and leopard. Well done Emma, well done.

On My Christmas Wish List

Vince

It's officially that time of year again... I just got an email from my mom asking me what I want for Christmas. Thinking of gifts has always been a stressful event for me. I sift through many websites trying to find the best and most chic items that I can choose to receive for Christmas each year. This year, one item that immediately came to mind was a pair of Vince corduroy leggings! What could be better than the perfect mix of corduroy and leggings? Not only are they comfortable and easily worn with boots, flats, or heels and any kind of top, but they are also chic and trendily amazing. Corduroy has finally made its way back into the hot trends list, and I think Vince has created the best pant of them all. So, mom... this is a hint to you, an obvious one.

Winter Nails

"School of Hard Rocks" & "Bobbing for Bubbles"

For some reason, in the past few years, I have become completely obsessed with nail polish colors. I somehow find myself changing the color of my nails at least twice a week, and my collection continues to grow almost every day. Recently, I have fallen in love with Essie and their new winter collection. School of Hard Rocks (a light grey with the perfect hint of green) and Bobbing for Bubbles (the most impeccable shade of midnight blue) are definitely my two favorites from the collection. I think I will probably wear the lighter shade for casual week days and jazz it up a little with the more edgy, darker shade on the weekend. What colors are your favorites for this season??

A Girl Can Dream, Right?

Salvatore Ferragamo

One day, I WILL be able to afford these amazing boots and have them in my closet...Or maybe, they'll sit on my mantle, so I can just stare at them in awe all day. Everyone should know by now that I am obsessed with leopard print. Ferragamo just perfectly placed this lovely animal print on a classic brown leather boot to add some pizazz. I couldn't be more in love.

Two-Toned Comfort

aro

I decided to have a lazy day today after an exciting (yet bittersweet) last home football game. So, what better way to have a lazy afternoon than in an extremely comfy sweater?! I love this cozy cotton two-toned sweater by aro. It's oversized, extra soft, and the darker color by the edge of the sleeves just really adds a fun touch to a simple look. I love the colors used, too. A cream and light brown color combination always go well together and are easily paired with ANY kind of pant. So, basically...it's the perfect way to still look fashionable while being comfy and cozy all day.

Oh, The Furry

Juicy Couture Aqua Ella Moss

I have always been a fan of fur. It is such a fantastic way to make a simple outfit stand out. Even though some people are still skeptics of this amazing use of a fabric, I think that with fur is amazing. AND there are so many different ways to wear it!! If you are still getting used to the idea, then start out with a chic, simple coat that has a touch of fur around the collar, like this brown Juicy Couture one on the left. This great coat has become even more gossip-worthy with the added touch of a light fur around the collar. Next, if you have been fond of fur for a while, and want a great way for the cooler way, try a vest!! I got my first fur vest a year ago, and I must say that I am obsessed. This Aqua winter white vest looks so classic with a black shirt and jeans or pants. And lastly, for those of you who dare to be bold, I urge you to try something like this Ella Moss fur coat that is absolutely incredible. Although, I am not sure if my personality allows me to pull of this wonderful trend, I envy those of you who can. So, there are no excuses. I have given you all an appropriate reason to wear fur this season. Now, have fun getting furry.
