This week I rocked some fun nail art… Super easy to do and looks cool. I also love this manicure because it give the illusion that your nails are longer than they are. I used China Glaze for the black and the mint base color is Urban Outfitters Smush. I also used my black Orly striper to make the lines before I used the thicker brush to fill in the rest of the black.

seeing stripes
Stripes are bold, especially black & white. It takes an average white or black piece and amps up the fashion while still keeping it fairly neutral. Black and white stripes can go with almost any color and can be dressed up or down. Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2013 runway was full of big black&white striped statement pieces.

I love red wine. Fortunately, so does the fall color palatte.
Red/burgundy/wine is huge this fall. It’s a new neutral because it goes with everything & adds an interesting color to any outfit. Try grabbing something in every piece in this color and add it to your daily wardrobe!
I just bought these burgundy ankle-cuffed pants from Urban Outfitters.
