Roasted Chestnut Swatch

Word on Roasted Chestnut: This is one of the newly released shades in the line that I picked up during the sale last campaign. I was expecting this to be a darker brown shade but its actually a very wearable deeper nude. It’s more flattering than a “foundation” nude color and goes with pretty much any color you’re wearing and will work year round. Works especially well with spring florals. 😉

Modern Southern Belle: Word Of Alicia

Modern Southern Belle: Word of Alicia

Pour yourself a cup of sweet tea, because I’m about to share with you how to be a modern Southern Bell…. from Nor Cal. Being a Modern Southern Belle means you take the idea of a Southern Belle and make it your own. For me, the Southern Belle elements I want to take and apply to my own life/look are classic beauty, bright colors and lady like designs. I think I hit all of those in this Avon Shelley Cutaway Blouse from the Avon Savana Blooms collection. This is my pick from the collection and how I’m making it modern.

Modern Southern Belle

My own modern take on a Southern Belle is pairing a beautiful colorful floral blouse with a pair of dark green ankle pants and lace up pumps! For me wear to work dress pant is still lady like in styling but grounds the bold florals. The deep green color and ankle cut styling makes it modern. (pants, Old Navy; pumps, Nine West Outlet). The lace up details and suede finish on my pumps take an otherwise classic pump to the next level.

Its all about that blouse, that blouse. Avon Shelley Cutaway Blouse from the Avon Savana Blooms collection is the star of the show, and its only $29.99! This pretty blouse is such a spring staple, one with fun details and bright pattern is a great addition. I can wear this to work, dressed down for weekend, pretty much for any occasion. If you have a cooler weather Easter, this would be a great outfit for that. And the details make it unlike anything else in my closet.

Mani Monday: Jamberry Sweet Nothing

mark. Let Your Finger Do The Talking With Jamberry Sweet Nothing Nail Wrap Mixed Mani

Happy Columbus Day! Need something to do on your random day off? Do your nails! I love random Monday’s off for a little self improvement, preferably while watching daytime TV! Even if you don’t have today off (like me :/) then just chalk it up to being a typical mani Monday and DVR Kelly and Michael and The Price Is Right to watch while doing your nails.

Mani Monday With Jamberry Sweet Nothing

Today’s mani Monday is a new one for me… Jamberry. As popular as these nail wraps have been and as much of a nail girl as I am, I have yet to try Jamberry. My bestie Krista is hosting a party so her killer Jamberry Rep Jen sent a sample to us interested ladies for a 7 day challenge to see how Jamberry wraps hold up. I have to say, I’m impressed.

Jamberry Sweet Nothing, OPI Mourning Glory and Essie A Cut Above

I selected Jamberry Sweet Nothing as my design. Because the sample was a little big for my nail size I put them on the best fitting option my pointer. The floral design with a black background is a great fall floral design. I had a fun weekend planned so I wanted a fun mani to go with it, so I decided to accompany the floral design with just a basic shiny black polish (OPI Mourning Glory) and some mauve pink glitter on my middle (Essie A Cut Above). I loved the look with just the basic black but the glitter stepped it up and made this a fall mani I’m loving!

Dark Floral Mani For Fall

Word Of Alicia Review: Immediately I could tell that these were higher quality than nail wraps I’ve used in the past. I thought they were easy to apply but the key is heating them up first. I watched the tutorial on how to apply them and used my little desk side heater as my heat source. Besides some edge peeling and some mega filing (and more filing throughout the week) these puppies stayed put way better than any I’ve tried. I would definitely get them again… in fact I’m definitely getting these foxes for Thanksgiving!

mark. Let Your Finger Do The Talking Ring

I also am digging all the unique designs and how each design has it’s own hashtag so you can search how it looks in real life (IRL). That makes an online shopper super happy! You

see here that the design I used looks just as great on everyone else too, I LOVE it paired with stripes!
