DISCLAIMER : NAIL IMAGES ARE NOT MINE |
Of all the nail art trends, the accent nail is the one I like most because it can be as understated or as flamboyant as you want. There's just something about a row of single colors and then a one nail that {seemingly} doesn't fit in.
Ranging from simple {two colors} to complicated combinations, the possibilities are endless.
These are just some of the ones that I really like. I obviously like glitter accents. {But they're such a pain to remove!}
Have you tried the accent nail? What's on your nails lately?
"So I went shopping today"...Isn't that how these things usually start?
Not this time. Shopping was not what I had in mind when I went to buy just one thing. UGH I can't believe I bought so many things I wasn't even meaning to buy that day.
I went to WATSONS yesterday to buy lipbalm. Just lipbalm.
But then my brain started to think "Oh. Why not just look around and see what they have? You know you want to. We're just gonna look, swears" . Fully knowing that I will for sure buy something other than the lip balm, I still obliged my very convincing brain.
Riding in cars with boys, kegger-infused relationships or ( in my case ) just plain dancing in your pajamas in your room. Your childhood music stays with you for better or worse. It may evoke certain kinds of pleasant as well as unpleasant memories in you but no matter how unpleasant, it made you who you are today and you're not as screwed-up as you thought you were gonna be. Which is just the way you like it. Not what you had exactly in mind when you were dreaming of a richer more successful you, but those are really subjective terms, and you're still alive, that's always a plus right? All my blabbering aside, this is a great mixtape.
Pining for someone? Here's a pop-rock song for your love life.
Enjoy.
With pieces this easy to put on, you'll look effortless yet put together.Although I do admit having a CK watch and that clutch helps with the "expensive" aura. And less is definitely more with just a cocktail ring and pendant necklace.
As for the shoes, they are classic in shape and color but the thing that stands out for sure is the heel part itself. Hmmm gold.
Now, how to make this work for work? Just add a simple blazer. See my two basic black blazers that I am particularly fond of.
Pick something that adds sleekness to the look and doesn't compete with all the other elements. This is not the focal point of the outfit. You are. When everything works well together, one element just adds to the other and makes the look more complete.
Hope you had fun reading my thoughts.

This post was actually inspired by a friend :) who's going out on a date today, and it got me thinking what usually happens so you don't end up wanting to split the bill and run the f*** home?
Hey Hey Hey! Unsure of how to pull-off a sheer blouse at work? If you're at a conservative office environment, certain clothes are a no-no ( Flip-Flops, Sandals, Slingbacks, Clear shoes, Expadrilles ) and it can be a bit constricting with certain trends that you're only allowed to try at weekends/nightouts/dinners. So here I am with a look that is work appropriate and safe. Read the post after the jump!
There's no amount to how much I love this! Pixie Lott and Korean singers GD & TOP of BIGBANG.
Note: Trust me, this is from experience.
Now as some of you know, usually mascara can only be used for 4-6 months as it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Since mascaras have a liquid consistency and you use it on your eyes then put it back in the tube, certain kinds of bacteria may be thriving in there. And if you find it's kinda smelling a little funky, you better toss it. It's not worth the risk.
But if you find that you still have plenty of mascara , hasn't hit the mark of 6 months and isn't smelling like feet but is getting a little clumpy here's what to do to extend it for a few more uses before you buy a new tube.
What the heck should I wear?! You've heard it and you've said it a lot and I mean a LOT of times in your life. Now these words are usually uttered or on occasion screamed, whenever we're going to an event wherein we want to look nice and still stand out from the throng of body-con/bandage dresses and strapless numbers.
My College graduation is in a weeks time, this coming Friday actually, and I admit I already have a dress. It's nice, flowy and floral. It Offers a little cleavage and leg action without the word "slutty" clinging to the air when you wear it. But seeing as it's an extra-hot summer, and with the slew of whites, off-whites and florals, my dress doesn't exactly stand-out from the crowd not to mention the fabric of my dress is itchy and hot, given this unforgiving hot sun and extra-hot air is probably not the smartest choice to wear.
Good thing I chanced upon the Nuffnang X ZALORA contest, because I can have a chance to make my desires a reality. Here are my choices.
Other than the fact that the material is light and breezy, the cut is demure.
The perfect silhouette for a school function.
I've always wanted to try the hi-low/mullet hem.
I'm in love with the heel detail.
And wedges are comfy, especially since I'll be doing the mandatory
jump-in-the-air-while-throwing-your-toga-hat-to-the-sky.
The hint of color on the side gives it
a young vibe.
Nothing makes entering the "real world" more official
than an elegant, simple and very cool time piece.
The perfect blue for the perfect day.
Even if the pieces I chose, in itself are very simple, together I think these would really make an impact marking my graduation a most memorable one. I mean, c'mon how often do you get to say to people that you won your whole outfit?
