Summer Looks: Cotton Candy Queen


cotton candy




Put together a little summer inspiration for you all. I haven't posted in a little while so here ya go!!!!!!

This look will hopefully encourage you to play with funky colors, patterns and textures no matter who you are or what you're dressing for!

The shorts and button up will give you coolness in this summer heat, while the jacket is cute and cozy enough to keep you warm from the breeze.

ALSO: My newest obsession are WATCHES. I recently bought a $1 watch from the flea market (it doesn't work!!! lol) but it's my favorite accessory to pair along with rings. It adds a really sophisticated look. Bonus points for wearing it mid wrist with the dial facing you like its the 80's.

Last but not least check out these freaking sunglasses. They're like, screeeaming 60's flowerchild to me right now.

Hope it inspires your inner girly girl to come out and play.

Funky Space Nails



Hi everyone, so I haven't made a post in a little while, and today I got my nails done avec le mama. My mom suggested something "bright" and I considered a change from my usual deep reds and burgundies. I took forever trying to decide, as my indecisiveness always gets the best of me! The woman who was going to work on my nails was getting a little bothered, and then I finally brought her this chartreuse color by Essie, and a black with sparkles polish by Orly.

Below, is the finished product! Okay, so it might be a low-quality webcam photo, but you can still feel the space funk grooviness vibes that these nails are giving you. I chose to have my index finger polished with Goth, and I love it because the black mixed with the sparkles makes it look like I have a galaxy living on my finger! I love greens generally, and this bright green pops to channel that beginning-of-summer energy.

I  hope you all enjoyed seeing what my nails look like this week! I love to change it up sometimes, so recommend me your favorite colors and nail polish brands! To be honest with you, these are my two favorite brands and I recommend them highly. Essie always guarantees a beautiful color that lasts long and goes on smooth, and the same goes for Orly. Orly has unique colors that last long!

If you try something similar, let me know. There are more nail posts to come! I'm one of those people who changes their nails every week.
