Throwback Thursday

Dress: French Connection, Shoes: Michael Kors, Clutch: BCBG 

Throwback Thursday to the dress I wore to my high school's homecoming! This dress doesn't get enough attention....I feel that its just a tad too dressy for the typical trip to the mall or sitting outside on a nice day...correct me f I am wrong! Dress aside, this was long before I chopped off all my hair! I am a happy camper to report that I don't even miss my long hair. I'm loving my short hair (just not the bangs I cut for myself, whoops).... guys might not dig the short tresses, but if your gonna wear overalls 24/7 they don't even look at the hair right? 

P.S check out the Teen Vogue website again! So crazy!! :)

Gellin' it

I love the look of gel nail polish but I don't like the commitment of salon gels/shellac.  Two week is just too long for ONE color!  I heard lots of good things about the Dior Gel Topcoat and how it makes your nails look like gels but can be removed at home like normal nail polish.  I decided to jump on that trend and I went to Sephora and bought it.  I must say I'm quite a good consumer! ;) 

For results, I tried it once and my polish started cracking after a few days... I am still not sure if it is because I had thick layers of polish or because of the new Topcoat. With that said, a few other gel top coats are available and are not as pricey as the Dior one ($24).  They certainly are a must have to receive that shellac look without all of the pain in the butt hassle and commitment!

I am not 100% sold on the Dior topcoat. :( It is pricey and it cracked the polish, but I still have hope it will prove me wrong! Until then, in my search for perfection, I have read good things about these two.  Both of them achieve that gel look and are under $10!

Dear Mom

Happy Mother's Day to the most beautiful woman in the world!  You're the best best friend anyone could ask for.  I love our relationship and that I can tell you everything.  I love you so much and it scares me to think of what I would do without you. You always amaze me in the things you do for me.  In life, volleyball, school and my blog.  You don't know how much I appreciate all the pictures of outfits and shoes you take.  I could certainly not do this without you.  :)   I love the conversations we have and the laughs that we share.  I'm sorry that I take your shoes and base-coat and don't return them after I use them. ;)  Thank you for letting me come to you with anything and you always having the right things to say.  Have an amazing, amazing day mama, I love you to the moon and back.  You really are the best mom anyone could ever ask for.  I love you so much more then I will ever be able to describe.  Thank you for everything you do for me. <3
