{Nailed It} Manicure DIY Roundup...

I love nail polish as much as the next girl, but lately it seems like there are more nail trends and jazzy Pins out there than I can keep up with... Man it's tough being a girl. Because I need constant reminders of things I want to try or need to do (believe me, it's a never-ending list), I decided to put together a roundup of my top five nail trends to try (helloooooo, watermelon wraps!). Hopefully this inspires you to jazz up those digits of yours, but if nothing more, it'll help keep me accountable when I deviate back to my standard red, black or neon polish... You guys keep me so honest.

{Style} Changing Directions...

No, I'm not talking about some life changing decision or epiphany that the title of this post might suggest, but about the stripes of my shirt... What, you know not to expect anything more than superficial musings from me by now, don't you?

Happy Monday friends, I hope everyone's week is off to a smashing start! xx

{Details} Nautical Stripes...

It's no big secret that I'm a huuuuge fan of stripes� I mean seriously, can you think of a more versatile print? It's an all-season style that can be rocked just as easily in spring as it can come fall, which is precisely why I love it so. This particular dress is perfect for brisk days because it's lined, long sleeved and lovely... How's that for your daily dose of alliteration? Throw on a woven belt, breezy vest and a pop-o-colour cuff (nicely done, Joe Fresh!) and you've got yourself a fall-tastic look. Easy peasy.

Anchors Aweigh!

I've always had a thing for nautical motifs, so when the nice people at eShakti offered to send me a piece from their spring line, I just couldn't resist this dress... The colourful chains and anchors really spoke to me, and the print was unlike anything I had seen before. So in the spirit of trying new things, I paired the dress with a belt and a striped blazer to add some contrast and, well, more nautical charm... Because really, what are stripes if not nautical � am I right?
 
A big thank you to eShakti for sending me this dress, and thanks to you guys for reading! xx
