I'm not a big fan of lightwash denim or the denim tuxedo look, but I was still excited to find this shirt in my mom's closet. I decided to pair it with black denim and some bold gold accessories to spice up the simple outfit. This summer has been less than ideal, seeing as the shirt is a brighter blue than the sky. We're starting to get heat waves now, as Indian Summer advances upon Santa Cruz.

While my computer was in the shop these past several weeks, I spent a lot of my suddenly-free time painting my nails. While I catch up on some outfit posts, you'll also have to bear with my nail fetishism snapshots, too :) This day I was particularly obsessed with ombre. Excuse the dry cuticles, I've been slowly switching over to all-natural products, and I haven't tackled polish yet.
I get giddy over makeup and paint names. Strangely so.

How are you spending your Labor Day weekend?
I always thought it would be a wonderful to be the person that names paint and nail polish. They make them sound even more mystical than they actually are.

Julia, I totally want to have that job, too! Your word for it is totally dead on: MYSTICaL!
ReplyDeleteLet us know if you find organic nail polish! I'm trying to switch to natural/organic etc beauty products but all my nail polish is still the toxic type - not that I find time to use it much anyway....
ReplyDeleteI have horrible cuticles too (as well as horribly dry skin in the winter). Lately I've been using Burts Bee's Lemon Butter cuticle cream and I swear by it. It has done wonders for my cuticles. I haven't used it in a couple of days and my nails are screaming at me. It may be worth giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm glad you are back blogging again. You were missed!
thanks jen l., I've missed the internet too! I've been using apricot oil on my cuticles after I wash my hands, which seems to be helping ;)
