Mani Monday | Milkshakes + Manicures

Yup. So this is what I'm wearing in Dubai! Milkshake in hand, I went back to Oahn for another gel mani. It was about time, too, because I was so over seeing black nails! I decided to get gels again since I'll be traveling for 10 days and can't predict touch up opportunities.

Oahn was so patient with me. I went in with 3 semi-ideas and eventually came out with this modern design. (This one is based off another one of Bridget's recommendations. That girl's a keeper...) In order to show the lime/spring green, I had to apply filters to my photos. My poor iPhone and apartment lighting just wasn't enough!

What do you think of my more modern design?

Summer Travel Essentials

Travel in style with these must have travel essentials!

1. Passport Holder

H&M, $5.95

You may have to start using your passport! This fun holder will establish you as a well traveled individual, and protect your passport's binding from wear and tear. Nice!

2. Luggage Tags

Bed, Bath, & Beyond, $11.99

Because if you're going to ask the cute boy from your flight to help you get your luggage off the carousel, you might as well be specific as to which bag is yours!

3. Disposable Camera

Urban Outfitters, $14

Spend more time with your surroundings and your travel partner than editing and posting
selfies. I dare you.

4. Good Read

Barnes & Noble, $16.49

She's the founder of one of our favorite online shops, Nasty Gal, and her story is bound
to inspire us. (Literally.)

5. Light-weight Sweater

H&M, $24.95

Whether you're traveling by train, plane, or with someone who runs hot, there's no need to suffer!
Keep a light-weight sweater with you. It's easy to pack and it's versatile!

6. Summer Dress

Nordstrom Rack, $13

Easy, chic, and summer-heat friendly. Go 'head, girl!

7. Socks

Urban Outfitters, $4.99

One thing's for sure, airport floors are nasty! Pack a pair of socks for easy slip-on, slip-off action! (Of course you can keep your shoes on, but it slows down the security check process. And we all know we're probably running late anyways.)
