Fall 2014 Drugstore Nail Polish Picks

Hey guys! Today's post is a little different, but I'm gonna give it a try and see if you guys like it. If you follow my Instagram you'll know I'm a massive nail polish junkie. I've been really impressed by this Fall's nail polish collections and want to share some of my drugstore favorites! 

Before I start, let me note that I've only featured drugstore brands that I love the quality of and have tested out myself. I find they tend to stay on longer than other polishes, and can withstand well with me working with my hands all day. My personal favorite is Essie, and although I know it costs more...if you feel stuck between a polish I'll always recommend it first! For me, it has always dried in under a minute, which is essential with a busy lifestyle.

Now let's get to the good stuff!

1) Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Spice Age // 2) Revlon Metallic Nail Enamel in Copper Penny

3) Loreal Color Riche in After Hours // 4) Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Grey Area

5) Revlon Nail Enamel in Seductive // 6) OPI Nordic Collection Nail Polish in How Great Is Your Dane?

7)  Essie Nail Polish in The Perfect Cover Up // 8) Revlon Nail Enamel in Divine

Note: Ruffian is not sold at drugstores. I got it from Birchbox. But I love it so much for Fall I had to include it!

What color polish is your favorite for Fall? Let me know below! 

Wishing you all a wonderful week, and as always, thanks so much to all my followers! :)

Spotted: Dalmation Loafers and Cobalt Skirt

Hey guys! Hope you're all having a fantastic week!

I bought these dalmation print loafers a few weeks ago and been trying to figure out how to wear them. I mean yeah, I can go the usual jeans and t-shirt route...but I wanted to challenge myself! So I shopped my closet and came across a cobalt blue skater skirt and white blouse that turned out being perfect for them. I didn't think it would work at first but I gave it a shot, and I'm really happy with how the outfit turned out. I hope you guys love it as much as I do!

Oh and sorry for the photos being kind of grainy. I'm guessing something was smudged on the camera...so I had to try and sharpen them. Lesson learned!

Little Black Dress

If you’re on a budget and want to buy a piece that never goes out of style, you definitely want to go for a little black dress (LBD).  I read this years ago in a magazine and thought it sounded like a big fat lie. Everything goes out of style at some point! Including those awful gaucho pants I had to buy. But I gave it a try and bought a JCrew dress on the sale rack for my cousin’s wedding. That was maybe 6 years ago? Today it’s still hanging in my closet (doesn’t fit though lol) and yes, it’s still in style! When I hit up a recent H&M sale, I decided to buy a casual one to wear back and forth to school. I've worn it religiously and love it so much that I’m sharing it with you today!

Summer Casual: Vintage Tee & Boho Shorts

Hey guys! I decided to share with you one of my favorite casual looks for August. It's super comfy and has some really cute details that make it fun! My sandals have this awesome snake print on them that's really unique, and the laser cutout shorts make me feel fancy any time of the day. It's an outfit that's quick to put together for those days you don't want to put much into your outfit.

When I was younger I thought that fashion was never meant to be comfortable. Especially when I was introduced to heels! What a pain they were at first! But thankfully, I learned over time that chic casual looks are easily achieved when you pay attention to two important details...

1) Fabric/ Materials - A lot of fabrics are more cozy to wear than others. We wouldn't be caught wearing leather pajamas for a reason! Some of my favorite comfortable materials to wear are fleece and cotton. My least favorite is wool. Times a thousand!!

2) Style & Fit - The fit of the clothing can really help an outfit feel laid-back. I like to generally try and include one loose or over-sized piece into my comfy outfits. If you wish to wear jeans search for ones in a boyfriend style. Just remember to keep one piece oversized and the rest of your outfit more fitted. This keeps your look balanced, instead of frumpy.
