Galentine's Day Nails with Julep

From top clockwise: Me // Emily // Adiel // Kate

Valentine's Day is fun and all, but Galentine's Day is where it's at! When my dear friend Adiel opened her monthly Julep Maven box, it was full of extra polishes to handout to her gfs-- how cute is that?! (check out her photo on IG here) The ADOREable Hartleigh polish is full of pretty hearts, speckled white glitter and was perfect to team up for a fun nail collab with my Posh ladies!

For my mani I went with a gold and lavender base topped with the Hartleigh to add some contrast, I also added a little "XO" as an accent. I just love how everyone used the polish differently!

Be sure to check out their full nail looks on their blogs and have a very Happy Valentine's (or Galentine's Day weekend!)

After traveling back to back for the past two weeks, I am finally home and able to get back in the swing of things, yay! I most recently returned from New York where I attended the Lucky Magazine Fashion and Beauty Bloggers Conference aka LuckyFABB and it truly was an amazing and inspiring time! From Eva Mendes taking the stage and giving us an impromptu hair scarf tutorial, to seeing new and old blogger babes, the short and sweet trip was so much fun.

Here are a few shots from Day 1, I'll be posting Day 2 later this week!

Minty Monochrome

Top and Earrings: Forever 21 // Pants: TJ Maxx // Bag: Asos // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Necklace: H&M // Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target // Watch: Michael Kors

It seems I can't stay away from monochromatic looks. I noticed myself doing this back in the fall/winter and I don't see it changing for spring/ summer. I just love the balance of mixing similar shades of colors-it packs such a fun punch!

Happy Thursday!

Return of the Nail Files

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I am constantly giving myself quite the eccentric manicures including polka-dots, glitter, stripes- you name it! While I am no professional, doing my nails in unique and fun ways has always been a part of my weekly routine. Since I haven't been sharing my nail adventures here on the blog lately, from here on out I will be--including tutorials, my favorite polishes, and trends...starting NOW! Above are just a few of my latest manis!

What nail trends are you loving right now?

Have a fabulous weekend!

NYFW Day 1

Jeans and Necklace: Poshmark // T-shirt: Nordstrom // Blazer: Target // Boots: Charlotte Russe // Lipstick: Wet n Wild // Nail Polish: Zoya

Group shot with Jenna, Maria, Alix, Jess, & Jen--love these gals so much!

Whew! What a week it has been! I just got back to San Francisco late Sunday night from SUCH an amazing, inspiring, and oh-so-cold trip in New York (yes, we survived Nemo!). After almost three weeks of back to back traveling, I am glad to be home...for now. ;-)

The first day in New York was the Independent Fashion Blogger's Conference and I can't believe it's already been a week since--about time I did a post! Last year was my first conference, and I was so glad to be back to hear all the panels, speakers, and my favorite part- meeting up with some of my favorite blogging babes! Oh, and the fact that Tyson Beckford made an appearance didn't hurt- could he be any more gorgeous? I think not.

Considering Maria and I flew in the night before, to say we were a little exhausted the day of the conference is a total understatement, so I opted with a more casual outfit of my new favorite bf jeans, and a slouchy camo tee glammed up with a blazer and lucite necklace. However the rest of the week, I didn't feel so stylish- the snow got the best of this California gal and being warm definitely took precedence over being fashionable. I'll be posting about the rest of my trip throughout this week so stay tuned!

Leaving you with some fun gifs we made at the Alex and Ani booth!

The Nail Files: Neon + Sparkles

Step One: Paint

Step Two: Glitter

Step Three: Top Coat

Step Four: Nail Partay!!!

Hi there and happy Sunday!

I thought I would start doing occasional posts on something I am ~~slightly~~ majorly obsessed with- NAIL POLISH! I am totally the girl who paints her nails every week (sometimes twice) and I love trying new fun colors, adding glitter, and I am even known to dabble in some nail art here and there (when I have time).

So when my fabulous co-worker Maria got some new Forever 21 polishes sent to her(jealous) and volunteered them to the office gals, you know myself and Carlina jumped at the chance! I chose to go with this fluorescent pink which was just screaming my name. I had also just purchased the Spoiled neon orange (pictured above) and thought they would be so fun together.

To start I painted all my nails the new Forever 21 pink except my ring finger which was painted the orange. Each of these polishes needed three coats to get the saturated effect that I liked. I then used my favorite Forever 21 Love&Beauty glitter to paint just the tips- using two coats to get the nice gradient effent. Then finished it off with my Sally Hansen top coat and Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my first mani post! :-) There will be more in the future!
