Online Shopping is the Devil. Even Though I Look Cute.

So I’ve been on a bit of an online shopping binge, I have to admit. It’s getting to be Spring time and I thought – I need new stuff. Like now. See below for a self-indulgent post of the fun new stuff I bought! Oh, and a photo of my first ever Shellac manicure! (had to add something makeup related in there ha!)


Snotty photo of me in my new dress! With new jewelry! And new nails!
(are you seeing the pattern?)


A pretty unique necklace that I got from Jewelmint.
It's sort of a choker, then has a long chain with nuts and bolts at the end of it!
It's weird, so of course I love it!


Mod bracelets from Jewelmint.
These two come together - I think they really compliment each other!
They are a bit hard to type with at work, but at least they look cute =)
I love Jewelmint - quick delivery, adorable packaging, and cute stuff!


The sleeve of my dress! I saw this pattern (dress is from Gilt.com) and I needed to have it.
The material is light enough to wear for spring, even though it's black.
And it's comfy!


And finally, what the nail fanatics have been waiting for - my first Shellac manicure! I'm going to a wedding this weekend, so I wanted to make sure there was no funny business with my nails (chips, breakage, etc). So I decided to try Shellac (CND) polish. I really love this pretty pink! It looks more purple in the photo, but that's probably because my phone sucks haha. I only got them done yesterday, so I want to see how long they really last me - hopefully 2 weeks!


Do you guys do a lot of online shopping? And who else has tried Shellac? Share with us!!

Mismatch Bitch


I got this fierce bracelet and ring from one of my besties for Christmas. I LOVE them!

I painted my nails last night - silver and glittery, my go-to winter nail look.

None of these things match but I don't care and am wearing them anyway.

Sometimes I like a little mismatch in my life!

New "Discoball" Necklace


My new necklace! I bought it at Henri Bendel in New York, and have been wearing it daily. I wanted a piece that I could wear with basically anything, and this fits the description perfectly.

As you can see, I am still sporting my crazy discoball nails haha! Weirdly enough, i've been getting lots of compliments on them, even though I still think they're a bit tacky. Maybe the nails inspired the discoball-esque necklace? =)

Hope everyone is having a great day!

I Know What Girls Like...

New Makeup, Jewelry, and Shoes of course!


Missoni for Target Pumps
I'm not a huge fan of the Missoni signature zigzag pattern, but these pumps are a nice, toned down alternative. My mom picked them up at Target - I can't believe she actually got her hands on them! The designer collections at Target are big around my hometown, and usually sell out in minutes. I like these shoes, because they're good for every day at work, and have what I like to call a "commuting heel" - a bit on the thicker side and lower than most of my other shoes. I think they're pretty cute!


Clinique Lid Smoothie 8 Hour Eye Colour
So I really wanted to try this, as I have an ongoing obsession with all long lasting makeup. However, I don't really care for the shade I picked out. I generally go for bronze/taupe/beige shades for the lids, and this one is so light that it's almost...white. Like hippy flower child white. It reminds me more of a highlighter than an eyeshadow. Totally miserable, right? Aside from the shade itself, the formula is nice. I applied the lid smoothie this morning before work - 4 hours later no sign of creases. I also like the cooling, metal applicator on the tube - it feels niiiice.


MAC Cremesheen Glass in Partial to Pink
OK so this shade is nothing new, but I do love it! I like how Cremesheen glides on your lips - it's not sticky whatsoever and gives you a luscious, fluffy pout. This shade is natural, so it's nice with a heavy eye or if i'm being lazy and don't feel like applying lipstick =)


Unique Bracelet
I got this piece at a consignment shop in Jersey called All Things Consignment. I like going to these types of stores and seeing what interesting things I can dig up. This shop has an amazing jewelry selection (among many other things) and I had to practically pull myself out of the store after taking home 5 items. The store has an array of vintage, handmade, and custom made jewelry that is just so different, not to mention inexpensive. Definitely worth a look if you live in the area!


Hope everyone had a great weekend, and Happy Makeup Monday!
