3.1 Phillip Lim for Target

3.1 Phillip Lim is putting out a line for Target set to come out on September 15. I am beyond excited for the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target launch. Here are a few (actually quite a few) items that I am dying to try on. I hope that launch opening day is not going to be as crazy as the Missoni for Target launch day because I would really like to get to try on the items before I buy them. Knowing how much people love Phillip Lim, I suspect that it is going to be nuts! I especially cannot wait to see the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target bags in person. I have been dying for one of his bags for a while now. I have one of his belts that I absolutely adore. I am wearing it here!

What to Wear on 911

I am trying to decide what to wear on 911. Should I go patriotic with red, white and blue or make it a New York theme? I think either way is appropriate. I put together a few ideas to help me decide. Which is your favorite 911 look?

911 is still a very important day in the United States so important that it is national holiday called Patriot Day. I can still remember September 11, 2001 so vividly. I remember more details from that day than I do from my wedding day that was only a little over a year ago. I don’t think I will ever forget and I am very glad as it helps me appreciate my friends and family more. Tell people that you didn’t forget by dressing up for 911 and Patriot Day (the same day: September 11 every year). Here a few other patriotic outfit ideas: Clear Clutch DIY, Red, White, & Blue for Work, Election Day Outfit, Stars and Maxi Skirt, and Memorial Day Outfit.

Manicure Monday: Tweed Nails

I found Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Nail Polish at the drug store the other day. Sally Hansen says Fuzzy Nails and I say Tweed Nails!  There are many colors of including a few different blue and greens. I chose the black and white Fuzzy Coat called Tweed because it reminded me of Chanel’s Tweed Suit. I put on 2 coats and topped off the edge. I had to paint my hand a little to get into the corner, but that might be because I can’t see very well. It worked out fine as about an hour later, I washed my hands and picked that part off my skin.
