Nail Trends of the Moment

This time of year most people go to neutral colors when it comes to painting their nails so I thought I would show you guys a few trends I've been loving!

- Metallic- Looks classy and put together yet bold and daring

- Accent Nail- Painting just one nail with a different color gives off a fun vibe

- Ombre Glitter Tips- Looks complicated yet so simple to do youself

 

 

 

- Black Glitter- Keeping it classic with a rocker touch

- Gems- Add a funky touch to otherwise simple nails

How to Style: Combat Boots

As you all probably know, combat boots have becoming very popular this fall. Even though it's getting colder and almost winter, they are so versatile you don't have to worry about not finding something to pair them with.



One of the most common ways is with some black leggings (or black jeans) and a chunky sweater.

A style very similar to that is with a longer coat and still keeping the black jeans or leggings.

Printed leggings are the perfect match for combat boots. To make sure the outfit isn't "too much" I pair it with a big sweater or just a long sleeve, basic top.

I personally love the studded ones because they are a little more edgy but the only down-side is that they can be harder to pair with things.

Friday Five: Fall Nail Polishes

As much as I love pinks, corals, and neons, by the end of summer I'm ready to break out the neutral polishes. In the fall and winter I usually go for grays, blacks, taupes, dark greens, blues... basically anything dark and earth-toned. Some people find it hard for themselves to comfortably wear black nail polish but still love the dark trend. A great alternative is grays or taupes- They are more toned down and not as out of the box. (And easier to get off!) Later in the fall, after always having my nails be gray or black, I love switching it up to either royal blue or dark red. Dark reds are most girls go-to fall and winter polish! I have also been loving metallic and glitter polishes lately, they are more of a fun, young alternative to the earth tones but still look classy.

Candles, Sweaters, Boots...

 Can't wait to light my new fall candles as soon as I get home!

And maybe I'll have to throw on a nice warm sweater(:
Be home in about 3 hours!

Fall Obsession: Collared Tank Tops

As much as I love summer, lately I've been so excited to break out my jeans and sweaters. But sometimes as much as I want to wear those things, it's still a little warm for that so recently I've been loving collared tank tops. Pairing them with jeans and boots still gives your outfit a summery vibe and you're not extremely hot throughout the day. You can always but always put a jacket over top of them if it is cooler. I love tops like these because they can add an edgy touch to your outfit or make it look very put together and classy. I cannot wait to transition my tank tops (especially collared ones!) into the autumn months! How would you work a collared tank top into your fall style?
