April 30th marks the 1 year anniversary since my husband and I had our wedding reception (the anniversary we celebrate) and on that note I decided to share a few of our wedding photos with you guys since I was still too shy to share them when I got them back in November. We had…
Shady Places: Black Velvet Dress with Floral Embroidery, Faux Leather Jacket and Grey Boots
A nice warm long sleeved velvet dress under a faux leather jacket is about as light as I can bear in the current weather (and this was a warmer day too). The pretty floral embroidery across the top is another bonus and gives the dress enough detail to hold my interest without jewelry. …
Florals and Crystals: Black Floral French Nails with Glass Volcano Colored Crystals
After the recent red rhinestone manicure I did here, I remembered how much I like the idea of rhinestones or crystals on my nails and decided to pull them out more often from now on. I’m not sure if you guys noticed, but I have phases where I’ll wear similar outfits and do similar nail…
Vests: Studded Vest, Sweater, Black Trench, Grey Boots and White Jeans
There are quite a few ways to make an outfit more interesting by adding layering or accessories like jewelry, a scarf or a belt, but adding a vest is one of my favorites. I’m a big fan and own several in a variety of neutral colors, though not necessarily neutral fabrics (I’m looking at you…
Six Months: Faux Fur Vest, Crushed Velvet Top, Jeans and Brown Boots
Oh boy, I got so caught up in other things, I completely missed the six month anniversary of this blog a few weeks back. I can’t believe that it’s already been six months. To everyone who’s reading this, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’re all here. It makes my…
Coming Alive: White Crochet Sweater, White Jeans, Turtleneck, Statement Necklace and Tall Boots
This day marked the first time in a long time that I was able to walk around without some sort of jacket or warm vest outside. It was a perfect April day, a bit chilly but beautiful non-the-less. Unfortunately it snowed the day after, but you take what you can get and it was still…
Comfy Vibes: Fuzzy Blue Cowl Neck Sweater, Pink Teddy Coat, Jeans and Black Boots
I’m writing this right after writing an exam. It was an operating systems course and, while really interesting, I just did not click with the way it was taught. Oh well, one can’t have everything. I’m really glad I have the knowledge I gained from it though. Does anyone else sometimes feel or felt like…
Perfect Coat: Black Trench Coat, Black Tall Boots, White Jeans, Pink Hoody and Feather Scarf
I really believe that a black trench coat is almost as useful as a black blazer if you like to wear black. Trench coats look chic and elegant. Adding one to a look instantly elevates that look and makes it cooler in the same way that adding a black leather jacket to a look instantly…
Polar Bears: White Faux Fur Jacket, Cream Sweater, Bird Scarf, Jeans and Brown Boots
These faux fur jackets are pretty much the only ones warm enough for me to wear most days other than my long puffy coats. This white one is probably my favorite though and I kind of feel a bit like a polar bear when I wear it. It’s a lot of fun and looks great…
How to 3D Nail Art: Watermelon and Red Rhinestone Nails
It’s been a while since I added rhinestones or glitter or any 3D elements to my nails. To be honest, these are a bit of a pain to remove and definitely a pain to secure. Really, the only way to secure them properly is with special nail glue (feels more like superglue). Sometimes I’ll still…
