January 2015 Outtakes

Happy New Year!! Brunch with some of my fav DC Metro Girls!

I began and ended January the same way-- brunch! In fact, at the same restaurant...wearing the same hat. Who knew this look would be my January staple!

On the other coast, dré began the year partying it up with her hubby in celebration of their 9th anniversary. Whether it was fashion, beauty, or lifestyle, here's one thing we learned--

And, boy, did I have to rely on this wit quite a few times this month! Take peek below to revisit all the other fun things we've learned so far this year!

Mani Mondays have been a huge hit with our readers! We're so glad because nail polish is one of the easiest style pick-me-ups. Did you have a favorite?

As you know, today is Super Bowl XLIX! With all the excitement over our home football team-- the reigning NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks-- returning to defend their title, we were quite inspired to show our 12th man spirit! Revisit those accessory, nail, and hair posts to get inspired for the big game today. Can we say Re-Pete?!

Speaking of hair, do you think dré will ever settle on one hairstyle? If you answered "no!", then you are a true code keeper! And aren't we all grateful for it! Hmmm...wonder what style she'll choose next.

Who wore it better? See dré's hair transformations here.

There was more than just beauty and fashion on the blog last month. In fact, our fashionable lifestyles transitioned into interior decorating AND life enhancement.

Hudson and Crane is a new mercantile store in Washington, DC. Super trendy, super affordable, and lovely owners to boot!

Mani Monday | All Sparkly And Gold by OPI

Hey code keepers! Clearly I haven't stopped celebrating my bday because I'm wearing the glitter polish that dré gave me for my bday. Look how sparkly and fun it is, how could I not!?

This is one of my all time favorite gold glitter polishes. It went on smoothly, has nice even specs, and of course compliments my skin tone perfect. (Good job, drésky!) I just love OPI's All Sparkly and Gold!

What I also love is OPI's Glitter Off polish. Without it, I would think twice about applying a glitter polish. That's because I'd be too occupied thinking about all the time it's going to take to get off. Needless to say, it's a must and if you haven't tried it yet...get on it, sister! (Note: Don't let it get too dry before you apply your glitter polish-- it won't work!)

Remember to check back, right here, every Monday for your manicure inspiration!
