Hello, Mani.

There are so many fun, bright colors out right now! But, we can't deny that spring also allows for a more soft and subtle finish, now can we? Take a look at these manicures below and be inspired to be whisper sweet with your next polish change!

Ring Fetish

Look what I found at Brown Eyed Girl in Annapolis! During my recent visit to this beautiful, historic city, I peeked into this funky boutique on Main Street. My jewelry collection just wouldn't be complete without these fun midi-rings and arrowhead necklace! Chevron for your thoughts? Apparently my attraction to this design isn't waning. I'm okay with that!

Enjoy your Friday, Everyone!

Aquatic Nails

I REALLY love summer. I don't mean I sound like a broken record, but you might hear me say that almost every day until it's over!

One of my favorite parts of summer is swimming. Ideally I'd love to be doing it in Caribbean waters, but I'll definitely settle for a pool!

The other night I was feeling inspired by the thought of these summer waters, so I decided to transfer that feeling to my nails. Now I feel beyond ready to dip my toes into the nearest pool! Do you like it?

It's amazing what treasures you'll find when you're cleaning out your closet. I've been weeding out my wardrobe the past couple weeks, and as I was hucking and chucking, I stumbled upon this wrap that's (get ready for it!) 12 years old!  Its yards of fabric allow you to wear it many differnt ways. Here I chose to wear it as a backless halter dress. 

It also put me in the mood to wear all pink everything...from my lips to my toes! With a look so sweet, I decided to wear my hair sleek. Remember how I wore this same hair style with a tougher look? Well, as promised, this is a perfect way to rock the same style with a completely different outfit. What do you think?

Skirt Time

When the weather gets warmer, I love wearing skirts and dresses! They are perfect for allowing you to keep cool and feel a bit dressy too. Here I chose a skirt with a light and flowy top. What do you think?

Yesterday was my cousin's big day! Kelly (the Matron of Honor) opted to go for Kristen Stewarts luscious waves. I absolutely love her choice! Rather than doing a twist on one side, we decide a braid would be more fun for her. I snapped a quick photo of her at the house and then one of her all decked out at the wedding. She's so dreamy!

The weather wasn't so fantastic, but that doesn't mean a girl still can't be fabulous! My big fur kept me cozy and my husband brought our trusty umbrella to keep us dry! 

After the ceremony, the weather dried up, and I was able to get some shots of my dress. The blossomed trees were so beautiful! I'm glad we got to hang out ;)

I just finished doing her hair and makeup and she looks fab! 

Below is what I plan on wearing to the wedding. Catch my full look later along with my cousin, to see if she followed the readers opinions, or if she went her own way!

Journey of a Dress

Feel like a woman, wear a dress! ~~ Diane Von Furstenberg

In honor of Diane Von Furstenberg's 40th anniversary of the wrap dress, I thought I would throw it way back to where it all started.

Last year my aunt bestowed upon me her vintage DVF wrap dress from the 1970's! How lucky am I to have an aunt that was just my size and with such impeccable taste?! 

Cheers to DVF! Thank you for making this world a more fabulous place!
