Nailed It//01

NYC: Black Lace, Essie: Set in Stones

 When I was younger, I used to do all kinds of crazy designs on my nails. As I've got older, I've kept my nails painted with classic colors like reds and pinks but with all the nail inspiration I see on the internet, I thought it would be fun to give a little nail design a try.

 1. Paint nails with base coat.

 2. Section off your accent nail with thin strips of tape.

 3. Use a pin to grab pieces of glitter from polish and apply to nail.

4. Once you take the tape off, touch up any spaces you want more glitter.

5. Top off with a clear coat of polish and your all done.

Girl From the Rock Show

Tee: F21, Skirt: Nastygal, Heels: Image

Over the weekend, Chris and I went to go see Fall Out Boy. When Fall Out Boy first took a break was right around the time we really started listening to their music. We had always talked about how if they ever came back we wanted to see them...lucky for us they did. Their music is just fun and upbeat and I was really happy we had the chance to go to the show. I hadn't worn a skirt to a concert in so long and once I received this one, I couldn't wait to wear it. Needless to say, I'm in love. Nothing better that taking a simple black skirt and making it a statement piece. This was one of those, I had to have it kind of things.

DIY//Drawstring Bag

Lately my life has been spent working and then heading to the gym straight after. Preparing the night before by packing up all my workout clothes has really helped me stay on track that way in the morning I'm ready to go. I have tons of tote bags to throw my things in but non that are fun enough to really show off. I'm loving this ombre shimmer one I made, it's perfect to put all my gym clothes in or for a day at the beach. 

Supplies: Drawstring bag, Scissors, Fabric Glue, Ribbon Trim

1. Cut pieces of ribbon and measure spacing between each piece.

2. Apply fabric glue and stick in place.

3. Cut off excess trim to length of bag.

4. Ready to use...fill up with all of your favorite things!!
