MANIcure MonDAY: Mermaid Manicure

I decided to institute Manicure Mondays in a effort to keep my nails looking presentable now that I am a mommy. This way my followers will keep me accountable! I started using this cuticle  dissolving lotion by Blue Cross. It makes it really easy to do my own nails because I don’t have to cut my cuticles. In the past, I have always gone a little overboard on cutting down my cuticles in that I end up cutting myself. This way I can leave the cuticle cutter alone and focus on just polishing my nails. Today, I painted my nails with Mojito Madness by Essie and Whimsical by Revlon. The color that comes from layering the milky blue from Whimsical over Mojito Madness looks very similar to Mermaid Tears by OPI that I wore here and here.

Saturday Shopping: Pre-Fall at Nordstrom

I went shopping at Nordstrom last week for a skirt, but of course I had to try on a few tops and jackets while I was in there. I found an awesome skirt by Halogen, but they did not have the pattern that I wanted in the store so I ordered the quilted version online. I really love it and if I was working in an office everyday and planning to stay this size, I’d probably buy every color. They have 8 colors and 2 patterns!

I tried on a few cut out tops that drew me in and I feel in love with these jeans jackets in mint and camo from KUT from the Kloth. The camo one is on sale for 50% and the mint jean jacket is 60% off. I might just have to order the camo one online since Nordstrom only had XS left. I am wearing a medium jacket now. The black & white stripe dress is mine. I bought it at Sam’s Club. It is soooo comfortable!

Black & White Outfits

Black & white outfits are so easy to put together that I often forget about them. Everyone has black and white pieces in their wardrobe that will make being in style this fall pretty easy.  I chose gray accessories because it is a little more unexpected than basic black accessories. If you do not own gray shoes, black would great with this as well. I love gray shoes as they work with more colors than black, like navy, orange, and yellow.
