Manicure Monday: Sweet Hook

Purple, pastel nail polish has been my current obsession for the past two weeks now. One particular polish I've adored recently is called Sweet Hook by China Glaze. Last year my favorite spring polishes were pale pinks, but this years it's all about purple. The only major con about this specific polish is the matte finish. There is hope, though, since for a glossy finish you just apply two coats of your topcoat of choice. Hope y'all are having a wonderful Monday!   

 

TBT: A Trip to The Mountains

Yes that's right! This girl is taking a break from the city to head up to the mountains this weekend. Here are some pictures from my previous mountain trip.Can't wait to post the new ones when I get back!

When Simplicity & Style Meet

    

Ah, the weather is finally warming up here in the city! Too bad the April showers are moving in... Boo! At least for the time being, I can wear my skirts before the rainy days arrive in Atlanta. This striped skirt has been sold out online and in stores for a while now.

      Luckily, I recently found it while I was window shopping at the mall a couple of weeks ago. When I saw it on the manikin in the store's window, I jumped up and down with excitement (...Okay, not literally). The price of the skirt was fab, at only $20 (more info below)! I wore an oxford-blue button up with a lovely crystal-studded statement necklace.

     My heels are a pair of adorable black, pointy-toed heels with amazingly cute bows on top. And, of course this lady has to add a pop of color in her outfit! I wore my bright-pink Kate Spade purse to add  little extra flair to my look. I hope y'all are having a fabulous day, and finding ways to add some pizzazz to your own outfits!

Jeans, Jewels & Polka Dots

Finally, spring has arrived along with warmer weather here in Atlanta! This week's outfit is a simple look, yet with a hint of style. I call  it the "weekender" outfit. Wearing denim-on-denim is becoming a big trend this year, so don't be afraid to experiment with it. In this look I wore a light-washed denim button up with a pair of dark skinny jeans. To add a pop of style, I wore a polka dot blouse on top of my denim button up. I kept my jewelry and shoes neutral: golds and nudes. Hope y'all are having a wonderful Hump Day!
