Back Story


I picked up a vintage midi skirt when I was in San Fran at this really great vintage shop "VerUnica"  and I love it!

The shop was small and charming and the girls were very welcoming. I know I will wear this skirt a lot because it is so comfy and easy to wear with anything.

My Nails


I get asked often about my nails so here is a little Q&A of the most frequently asked questions.

Q.  Are your nails real or acrylic?
A. My nails are real

Q. Do you have them done every week or do them yourselves?
A. I do my nails myself every sunday evening.

Q. How do you paint your nails because they always look so good.
A. I paint them just like anyone else I guess except I paint every nail except the thumbs in case I need to clean as I am going. After I have finished painting them I paint my thumbs.

Q. What is your favorite nail product
A. My most favorite polish is my Seche Vite "High Gloss" Polish I swear by it and it gives my nail that high gloss shine that you get at the salon. It also dries your names so fast!!

This is magic in a bottle.

New Tutorial!! EASY DIY Top

Hi Darlings!

This tutorial is super easy and fast to make. It is so cute with jeans and can be made with options.

You can omit the straps and keep it strapless, you can also leave the hem flowy and not add the elastic at the hem. You can skip the faux ruffle and just make the top using a 1 1/4" fold at the top for the elastic casing instead. Once you start to make the top you will better understand how easy it is to make the changes I listed above.

Enjoy and please make sure to email me pics when you guys are done or post on my FB wall!!

San Fran Score w/ Fab Pants + More Pics

Hi Darlings!

So of course I did a little boutique shopping while in San Fran and over the next week or so I will make sure to point out and link anything that is from my trip. 

Today I am wearing these fab pants that I picked up from a lovely boutique in San Fran called "Liv"I must say the shop is in a GREAT neighborhood and is very cute! the clothes were very chic but some had a little edge to them too. I really enjoyed the store but wish that I had more time while there to really get some shopping done but there was so much on the to-do list. They don't currently have an ordering website but you can "like" their FB page.

I ask if they took phone orders and they said yes! so I am linking the info to the shop and the info on the pants so that you can make sure and call to get yourself a pair. When I go back to San Fran I will make sure and stop by again.

Liv Boutique Pants $42.00 "Catwalk Animal Print Fun Pants" (Sku #90667A2A)
