Nail Polish 2.0











I've been painting my nails all sorts of crazy, lately. This kinda started this summer and since then the obsession for fun nails has just evolved. My nail polish mania has been fun. It spices up my outfits! I'll start taking better pictures, too!

Top to Bottom:
1. Space nails- OPI- Light My Sapphire with a glittery coat of OPI- SPARKLE-ICIOUS
2. Mermaid nails- Love my Nails- Violets are Blue sealed with OPI Clear Natueal Nail Strengthener (the heart polish is the less expensive version of the new Justin Bieber- Nicole by OPI- The Beat of my Heart)
3. Shattered nails- Katy Perry's OPI- Black Shatter
4. Gold chips- Essie- Iced Chai Latter with a top coat of Sephora by OPI- Only Gold for Me
5. Leopard nails- OPI- I'll Take the Cake with Kiss Paint in black and white
6. Candy Cane nails- Essie- Bordeaux with Kiss Paint in white
7. Glittered Cheetah nails- OPI- Bring on the Bling with a stamped cheetah print in OPI- Lincoln Park After Dark
8. Party nails- mixed a ton of colors and topped with a little glitter
9. Casino nails- Sephora by OPI- Only Gold for Me (I had these on for my bachelorette party! So fun)

Easy Made Invites





Never send a dull card again!! It's so easy not to. Grab a cool shaped punch, a hole punch, a stamp, whatever, it may be, do it! Your receivers will love you for it! I love the great patterned paper, add a bold stamp in the corner! Walla! Cute simple and completely DYI. Another lovely idea is putting a pretty Dollie in an envelope. I actually did this one but used a pretty vellum envelope. It turned out beautifully! In a world of pretty paper, stamps, and DYI love, lets create like crazy people!

New Shoes!




The other day, I was sitting at my computer reading fashion blogs. Some may say, I was daring to open Pandora's Box. Due to my tight budget (thank you wedding coming up) this was not a wise idea. Surfing the fashion blogs, while the thoughts running through my head were- oh the beautiful purses, I need those shoes, ruffles, i love ruffles. Lately, I have convinced myself to wear all the clothes in my closet. In an effort to save money and to stop buying new stuff all the time.

Thank you to Green Wedding Shoes. This was just what I needed as I continue on my love for everything in my closet before I bring new things in.

The shoes I used were a pair of black Nina shoes I bought at Dillard's three years ago. I never wore them because they were too plain for my taste. NOW, I can't wait to wear them since the upgrade!

I didn't have clear fishing wire but I used thread the same color as the fabric instead. Worked out perfectly for me!
