purple sparkle.

Revlon Bold Sangria, OPI Grape...Set...Match, Revlon Sparkling
Revlon's ColorStay nail polishes for this season have been getting a lot of hype lately, so I decided to try a few out.  Bold Sangria is definitely one of my new favorites.  It comes out much darker than it looks in the bottle, but I like that.  It's one of the deeper, more intense purples I've encountered during my nail polish experiments, and I think it's just perfect for wintertime.

luxe christmas.

Luxe Christmas

 I got super excited about the holidays last night after I decorated my Christmas tree.  It came out beautifully and got me thinking about my own look for this season.  With all the holiday parties coming up, now is the time to start planning out a few luxe, seasonal outfits that can keep you comfy and look cute at the same time.  I know this one would be perfect for me and I plan on looking out for some of these styles on my upcoming shopping trips!

dipped in glitter.

OPI Extra-Va-Vaganza!
OK, how amazing is this nail polish?  I have been on the search for the sparkliest nail polish possible for a while now, and I think I may have found it.  One coat is pretty glittery but two coats makes it look like you literally dipped your nails in a tray full of glitter.  Needless to say, I love it.

smile.

My latest Pinkberry concoction: chocolate hazelnut yogurt, coconut, pirouline cookies, organic gummy bears, chocolate covered pretzals, hazelnuts, and caramel sauce
I am an optimist.  I believe it's better to look on the bright side than to bog myself down with the negative.  Because of this, I like finding little things that bring joy to the average day.  In other words, I look for things that make me smile.  So, every so often, I will make smile-worthy posts that have brightened up my day and will hopefully inspire you to find happiness in the small stuff too.

I went to the Met last weekend with some friends to see Turandot.  The opera was absolutely amazing, but I could not get enough of these gorgeous chandeliers.  Their sparkle combined with the shimmery quality of my dress made me so excited for the upcoming season.  What about you all? Are you as excited for the holidays as I am?

in the black.

Black is the easiest color ever.  Literally all you have to do is throw on a bunch of black and you have an outfit.  Sometimes it feels like I'm cheating when I do this because it's so simple.  But I firmly believe that all or mostly black outfits can be good things, especially when you play with prints and textures.  Just make sure you don't wear them every day.

feeling blue.

OPI Into the Night, Sephora blue nail polish (accent nail)
I was never really into blue nail polish.  Then I found this OPI one from the Spiderman collection and everything changed.  Everything.  Now, this is probably my third favorite nail polish, behind OPI's Romeo and Juliet and I'm Not Really a Waitress because reds will always be my favorite.  Still, the fact that such a color could climb to the top of my polish ranks is a pretty astounding feat.

prep girl.

I don't like holding myself to one specific style.  Maybe it's the Gemini in me, but I change my mind too much to stick to only one type of look.  Besides, it's way more fun to change things up.  Today I was feeling preppy (don't ask me about the specifics, it was just an overall vibe).  I also needed an excuse to wear this dress, which is actually way better than the average dress because it has a tulle lining!  I mean, how much better can it get?

neon & florals.

American Eagle shirt, Free People skirt, Qupid flats
I don't know why, but for some reason I am constantly attracted to faded neon orange shirts.  I am completely aware that this is a strange and very particular obsession but I can't seem to help myself.  As a sidenote, shirts of this color always end up being soft and comfortable, which is such a selling point for me.  The only problem is that I end up with too large of a section of bright orange tees in my closet.  Oh well...

retro vibes.

American Apparel shirt and pants, Aeropostale belt, Fusion shoes, (Assorted) bracelets
I'm really into high-waisted things.  I don't know about the rest of you, but I just prefer to wear pants or skirts that come to my waist instead of ones that sit on my hips.  These high-rise pants give off a retro vibe, which I was totally feeling with a cropped, waist-tie blouse and some sling-back wedges.  Throwback outfits can definitely be a good thing.
