Fancy Friday

Happy Friday, everyone! I decided to channel my inner edgy Iggy Azalea and make this a fancy Friday. Although I was trying to channel Iggy, this outfit almost looks Avril Lavigne-esque once I added the sparkling tiara on my head - but if you're going to be fancy you might as well go all out, right?

My fancy shirt comes from Abercrombie & Fitch, and honestly I'm still in complete excitement that they introduced their new black and white line instead of going along and having only navy as the darkest color for their clothing. I'm incredibly curious for all the wonderful new clothes to come out in some non-Abercrombie like colors. 

Speaking of Abercrombie, I'm sporting my trusty jean jeggings from Abercrombie & Fitch itself. Practically all my jeans are from Abercrombie and I don't regret any of them one bit. They're comfortable, an essential, fitting, and make your booty pop. Yep, I know we all want those pair of jeans that you can sashay away in uber confidence. 

Traveling down to my favorite part of the outfit is of course - the shoes! These fierce cheetah printed flats come from the one and only Steve Madden. This flats are super comfortable and I was falling head over toes for the pointed toe of the shoe. I felt like the fashionable city girl walking around in these, all I need was to be dropped into New York or London and I think I would fit it pretty well. 

Time for the jewels! I didn't want to give too much sparkle to this outfit since I was trying to go all rough and tough, and I think my attitude came across well with this spike necklace I got from The Shopping Bag. This statement necklace screams don't mess with me. Rawr!

Even though I said I didn't want to add too much sparkle, every outfit needs some - so here comes the bracelets. My lovely watch is from Michael Kors which I wear everyday with every outfit. I believe everyone should have a watch at some point in their life because it's a piece of jewelry that is useful, extraordinarily pretty, and is timeless. Ha! ... My rhinestone and beaded drawstring bracelet comes from The Shopping Bag. I've had this bracelet for awhile and it seems to always have a place on my wrist with every outfit I'm wearing. I decided to keep up the stack of bracelets with my Ralph Lauren silver beaded bracelet that's simple and shiny. My last bracelet comes from Abercrombie and carries on the tradition of their signature navy color. 

To add a little bit of shine to the center of my outfit I slipped on my black Prada belt that I can and will never live without. It's a perfect belt to give that t-shirt and jeans look a drop of designer. 

I felt a bit adventurous with my nail color, and decided it would be nice to have a pop of color to this dark daring outfit, so I put a couple coats of Mini Kitten Heels by Ruby Wing on my nails. First off, I love the name of this nail polish, and of course I love the color. The bottle says that the hot pink you see in the bottle is what your nails will be indoors, and outdoors they'll be red. How cool! 

I hope your weekend goes flawlessly and you decided to be a little fierce and fancy along with me today.

App Of The Month: Mani Diaries

 Happy May everyone! Can you believe spring is here and in a few weeks summer will begin? Luckily that means that new vibrant bright colors are coming out to play, not only for outfits, but for your nails as well. Whenever I get super motivated to do my nails I'm always left with the feeling of dissatisfaction when I realize I have no idea what creative designs I can swipe on. So I went hunting for nail ideas...and ta da! I came across the app Mani Diaries, chock full of all the inspiration and nail tips at my finger tips. You can admire others nail designs, 'keep' nail ideas you'll need to remember, and even search for what your nail inspiration has to revolve around. But the best part is that after you've skillfully applied your mani / pedi (even if you went to the salon!) you can post a pic for others to ooo and awe over. 

I highly suggest you get this free app and follow me so I can check out all your new nail designs...but only after you mani is dry of course!

Just Add Sparkle

Channeling my inner Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen, I turned up the sparkle for my new Viktor & Rolf bow dress that had me smiling from the moment I laid eyes on it. Simple and sassy just like myself, the dress features a deeper neckline and a fitted the top.

The dress even included pockets, but they weren't used as long as I had my Kate Spade New York bag that featured a cushion cut stone in replica of a diamond, going along perfectly with my glitzy sparkly theme. The satin purse went along with my dress perfectly in my point of view, the lovely gold chain never leaving my shoulder the whole night. 

Shoes, shoes, shoes! Oooo, if you've read my post for awhile you would know that I am head over heels (ha!) for shoes. If you know me well enough you would know that I can't resist wearing especially heels. That's why I was tickled when I found a pair of these Nine West black bow heels. The pair touched my heart even more with the splash of glitter on the bottoms to keep up some dazzling sparkle. The bows on the back correlated impeccably along with my dress and I couldn't be more happier on how they matched. 

Bling time? Yes, please! The most important part of an outfit is your accessories - especially your jewelry. Appearing in my last little black dress post as well, Ciner earrings and necklace graced my outfit as the perfect touch. The antique jewelry never stops at sparkling and gave my outfit the extra oomph that it needed before it made its debut.

Another under looked accessory is your nails. To keeping them simple or going all out, there is so much that you can do with your nails. For an outfit like this I obviously went the sparkle route, painting all my fingers except one a sleek OPI black color. Trending right now with nails is changing the look of one nail to give it an different look. Trying out this trend I painted a nail a winter white, dusting it with silver sparkle. 

I end with a famous and my favorite fashion quote that I think sums up my outfit for the night quite well. "A girl must be two things: classy and fabulous," Coco Chanel.

Refreshing Watermelon Nail Art Tutorial

The official first day of summer begins this Friday, so I decided to kick off the start of the summer season with my very favorite summer time fruit (other than peaches) watermelon! Why not show my love for watermelon than by creating the fruit through nail art. It's an easy five step process that is cute for a barbeque, the beach, or any other summer adventure you have in store. You will need a neon pink nail polish, white nail polish, green nail polish, black nail polish, top coat, and an orange stick use to put on the seeds.

1. Paint your nails with your chose of pink nail polish, covering the whole nail.

2. Paint a thick line of green on the tips of your nails. It's sort of like doing a french, but a thicker line.

3. Take your white nail polish and pant a thin white line underneath the green line you just created.

4. With your orange stick, dot on the seeds with your black nail polish.

5. Swipe on some top coat and you have yourself a fabulous summer nail look!

Have fun and be fabulous,

Ann
