SOHO MEETUP

My weekend in New York City was highlighted with meeting four of my favorite bloggers. I spotted them on the streets of SoHo after an event at Topshop. Thought the event started at 8, but it actually ended at 8. Total fail on my part! Oh well. I was excited to still have the opportunity to talk with them and lust after their perfect style. They ended up giving me some gift cards they were gifted with from Topshop and said to enjoy! Not sure if that was a hint that I needed a different outfit (haha) or they truly weren't gonna use them. Either way, it was sweet of them!

Make sure to follow them. You won't regret it. They all have fabulous clothes.. and fabulous lives. Hopefully our paths will cross again! Thanks for being such an inspiration, girls! xoxo

P.S. -- I am so envious of Dylana and Bonnie's lives in Philly. Their photos make me want to move there even more.

Why dress down when you can dress up? This is Topshop's inspiration behind their new line of statement making dresses. Their dresses incorporate rock and roll as well as elegance. Make sure to check out the launch in just three days! For now, enjoy a sneak peek. Also, watch a behind the scenes video of the shoot here.

d.i.y marble nails

So much has been going on with new ideas for manicures lately, and I thought I would try something different. Despite the long process of these marbled nails, the finished product is quite interesting! So excited that they actually turned out, and I cannot wait to play around with more colors for spring! The idea has been inspired by Topshop's S/S11 line that is filled with colorful printed dresses. Check out the brand's beauty launch party here.

And, do it yourself:

1. Take a bowl of water and drip in 2 or 3 different shades of nail polish.

2. Using a toothpick, swirl the colors around until they’re mixed.

3. Then, dip you fingertip into the mixture quickly, and then pull it away.

4. Using a cotton ball, carefully remove the polish around the nail (this takes a while, and is helpful if you wrap the toothpick in a nailpolish-soaked cottonball to get the edges).

5. C'est fini!
