The Nails of Summer
Filed Under Blog, Nails, Seasonal | 1 Comment
According to Sephora’s Jessica Anderson white nails are the trend of the moment for summer. Although my favorite for more natural tones is an American manicure (like French, but with more pink fleshy tones), I like the concept of white nails. This looks very chic with this summer’s metallic trends, picture white nails with a bronze purse or white toes peeping out of gold sandals with your best summer glow. I’m loving it already!
“Looks like opposites attract after all: Fall’s gothic, rebellious black nails have attracted a contrasting white manicure for summer; an angelic look with a hint of trend-setting diva. This unexpected nail trend is perfect for summer too—a season of soft pastels, flirty sundresses, and ultra-highlighted locks. After all, what goes better with that sun-kissed summer glow than light, girly nails? Try layering white shades to create different matte or shimmering textures. Let the white hot summer begin!”

The Red, The White, And The Blue
Filed Under Blog, Fashion, Holidays, Makeup, Seasonal | Leave a Comment
Happy Memorial Day! In honor of the first holiday of summer I offer you my red, white, and blue beauty finds to start the season off right! To southern girls everywhere you can now wear white. To those of you who didn’t know it’s against the rules to wear white before memorial day, use this as an excuse to celebrate this summer tradition with us. Have fun today and don’t forget the sunscreen!
Red is for red lips, one of the hottest trends going right now. You’ve seen it at the Oscars, Golden Globes, and all last week Cannes, get this gorgeous look yourself and start the summer off right! Chanel’s Rouge Allure is the perfect way to create your perfect red lip. Their lipsticks are so creamy and treat your lips so well that they will remain a favorite of mine for all time.
White is for white ballet flats! Ballet flats are the hottest thing going right now, and if you don’t already own a pair then take advantage of the Memorial Day sales and go buy a pair today! I’m normally not a J Crew kind of girl, however they do have a great selection of ballet flats right now.
Blue is for cobalt blue, one of the hottest colors for Spring and going strong into summer. Solid or in the season’s graphic prints, it doesn’t matter as long as your closet has this color peeping out somewhere. Want to add just a splash? Grab a graphic print cobalt blue scarf, tie it around your head, slip on your sunglasses and drive away Audrey Hepburn style! This look works really well with the seasons white bangle earrings or bracelets.
