Beauty Tip-Nail Trends Colors for Summer

This post is my lovely sisters Blaine and Zoie. And I can't forget my cousin Elle. They are avid nail painters. They change colors on their nails at least once a week or more. So in honor of their POLISH CHANGE O.C.D, I bring to you a video clip from BellaSuga TV highlighting this season's color trends for every ladies manicure.




Below I have found some great affordable nail color recommendations to be right on trend for the Summer Season.

Oufit Inspiration-Delmy From Fashion Bananas

Delmy from Fashion Bananas is one of my favorite daily style reads. Her style is very modern, chic, and subtly sexy. This outfit in particular is screaming "I am SEXY and Innocent" all in the same breath.

I asked her today on Twitter "What is the brand of the cropped white top, that you are wearing in the post?" She replied "A Lux tee from Urban Outfitters that she DIY'ed herself. She created a crop top by cropping it herself." And I said "Please forgive me now because I am going to have to Jack this look for myself tonight." She told me "Get It Girl, Have Fun Tonight." I guess that was all the validation I needed to start my quest to recreate this look.

Amazingly I went to AMERICAN APPAREL FLEA MARKET SALE this past weekend and purchased those same pants in a mint/seafoam green color. How Ironic!!! After work I am going to Forever 21 to buy a white shirt to complete the look.

Tonight I am going to see one of friend's perform LIVE for the first time and I think I am going to Swagger Jack this whole look. I hope it turn out the way I envision it. So wish me luck and I will post pictures tomorrow, if the look is a thumbs up.

Pictures from my Trip to NYC

I am sorry I have been somewhat M.I.A lately. At my place of employment they have put restrictions on websites that we are allowed to view and of course BLOGGER was one of the chosen few.

So when I would usually have time to write post at lunch and throughout the day, that now is not possible. So I have to wait till after work to write post, and as of late I have no time post I have been SO BUSY. But THANK YOU to ALL THAT READ FASHION WITHOUT GUILT, I am forever grateful.

Here are some more pictures from my trip to NYC. The photos are ranging from random sighting seeing to just some places that I visited while in the BIG APPLE. So I hope that you enjoy and there are still more to come. I took some many pictures it's ridiculous.

Still to come Independent Fashion Blogger's Social Influence Conference and I meet some of the biggest bloggers out there. STAY TUNED.

Just a random shot before heading back to my hotel for the night.

Just so happen when I went to visit NEW YORK it was Chinese New Year, so that is where the dragons and the confetti came from. I had a blast that day exploring NYC all by myself. There are so many people here and there it makes you feel alive. I heard Jay-Z and Alicia Keys in my mind. "Concrete jungle, where dreams are made of, there is nothing you can do, Now your in NY, NY, NY. Aww LOVE THIS PLACE!!! LOL.

My Favorite Heels-Mossimo® Virginia Nude Pumps for $30

Target Missimo Virginia $29.99

Where do I begin? Maybe a couple of months ago, as I was browsing through the shoe section in Target and I came across these "GEMS". As we all know that nude is a very huge trend this summer, having a great pair of "go-to" nudies are the only way to go.

I try to wear them every chance I get. Trying to find the right nude shade and tone can be difficult sometimes. But the Virginia heel from Target is definetly a woman's staple wardrobe item.

If you plan on doing some shoe shopping anytime soon I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a pair of these Bad Boys. ASAP.

P.S. I think I am going to buy another pair just so that I can have them for the fall because I am going to get my money's worth this summer.

Update-HELP I AM IN A FASHION DEPRESSION

Here is a update on my progress from "Help I Am In A Fashion Depression".
First I want to thank everyone that gave me support and understood exactly where I was coming from. It was actually surprising to see how many of you felt somewhat the same way. I was glad to know that I was not the only one that felt that way.

So here is my progress from the past weeks. I am so sorry to say that I have not made any progress in achieving a better visual appearance in the workplace. The night before I have such good intentions on getting up early, choosing something other that my same 5 outfits and sprucing myself up. But what do I end up doing, getting up at the 7:00 am and racing against the clock to get out of the door on time and retreat back to my work pile of clothing. It is so sad, I think I need a therapist. Dr.Phil I need a interview STAT!!! LOL. I don't think it is that serious but I need a Intervention with myself.

I think how did I get this way? What went wrong? I used to care how I looked and dressed, now my image is not very becoming. Every weekend after I was my hair I say to myself this is going to be the week. But what ends up happening is the same routine, Day In and Day Out.

Does anyone truly feel like I do? I sit at a desk all day and it does not give me the motivation to want to dress up but I need to my livelihood depends on it. Spring is here and it time for a new beginning. I am not sure what it is going to be but I need a DRASTIC CHANGE. I am thinking of cutting my hair. Having long hair it is easy to get into the ponytail routine very quickly. I need something that I am able to maintain but gives me something new. So until next time my pretties, Stay Fabulous!!!

***Please share your thoughts,comments,and questions below? I am will be featuring them in my next Fashion Depression Update?

Sorry for the Lack of Post

I just wanted to let you know that I am not neglecting my blogging duties but this past week has been a dowsy.

My roommate of almost three years gives me a three week notice to move out and find a new place because she has closed on a new home. So scrambling trying to find a place for rent that is still close to work is a HARD THING TO DO. And on top of that, the next day as I am driving home from work I get into a auto accident that completely totaled my car.

As you can see from the pictures below, I was not feeling too great after everything settled. But I am doing alot better now but just trying to get myself back on track.

With moving and trying to find a car and dealing with insurance companies I am just a little overwhelmed, but no need to fret my pretties I will be back posting in no time. I love sharing things with you and can't wait to get back to what I LOVE BEST.

Love you all and Thank you for your support.

Frugal Tip Monday-How to Say "I Do" on A Budget

DailyWorth knows how to find a solution to all my finance related dilemmas. Recently DailyWorth, wrote an article about having a Affordable Wedding. This was a dream come true because I have always felt that you did not have to pay the amount of a house down payment to have a nice wedding.

I am not engaged to be married or necessarily thinking of marriage just yet but when that day does arise I have said to myself on many occassions"I want to see how affordable I can make my special day without minusing luxury and quality". As DailyWorth says "Your guests will remember your vows and how great the party was," says Lori, a DW reader. "No one remembers how expensive your pew decorations were or whether you had designer shoes!" Amen to that.

Finding a beautiful wedding gown is key but spending almost $3000 or more on something that you are going to wear for only maybe a hour is quite ridiculous, especially if you cannot afford it. Finding a nice dress that can transition from your wedding ceremony and to the reception is a another great way to save money. Having two and three dresses is truly a unnecessary expense.

And another way in my mind of cutting cost but still having a fabulous day is if you want a beach wedding renting a beach house, big enough to accomodate you and your guests. I do not plan on having a lot of guest at my wedding. I want something more intimate and cost effective. If you rent a house, that is waterfront you can have the wedding right in your backyard. And following the reception, it could be held in the lower level of the home. Two for the price of one, you can't beat that.

Here are the tips from DailyWorth to have a Affordable Wedding:

-Swap. Ask friends to do your flowers, wedding album, hair, makeup, music, etc., in lieu of a gift.

-Substitute. Wear a white cocktail dress; have a tapas party instead of a dinner; get married on Friday.

-Track costs. Planning takes months, so monitor spending in a Google doc shared with your mate or parents.

-DIY. Whatever you can, from invites to hors d'oeuvres.


And this a wedding budget worksheet to help track you spending.
