Half Moon Manicure

This look has been seen on the Spring 2011 runway and on Celebs such as Dita Von Tease and Megan Fox. I decided to try it out, it took about a half an hour to get right but I think it turned out okay in the end. I suggest giving it a try, it looks really cool and works with basically any color combo.

These are the three polishes I used to create my own half moon. Left to Right, Sephora by OPI in Queen of Everything, OPI in Give Me Moor, and Sephora by OPI Top Coat.

Valentine's Day Outfits

The following are my day and night outfits for February 14th 2011! For Day I went for a simple white raglan top tucked into my favorite high waisted sailor jeans, with a silver tribal necklace from F21 and red booties from gojane.com for fun. Also a Black felt hat, because it's BC so of course it was raining. For Night I went out for dinner and to see a play with the BF, the theme I went for was Burlesque. I chose a pink lace dress from H&M, with lingerie inspired boning. I paired the dress with adorable garter tights from House of Holland and deep-v heels, my Valentine's Day gift, from Nine West. Over top I threw on a black blazer for warmth and a faux fur collared coat. I grabbed a gray snake print clutch and made my last minute jewelery decision of a vintage jeweled ring and keeping with my theme, black feathered earrings from Aldo.
 Hope you like!

Flared Jeans

Flared Jeans were shown in many different runway shows this past spring, notably Derek Lam, Pucci and Thakoon. Channeling 70s style, I decided to give them a try. Usually I am a lover of the skinny jeans, but I went for it and purchased a pair of dark denim with a high waist, and very large bell bottom. I wasn't expecting to be in love with this particular look but to my surprise, they looked great. The length is a bit long on me but with the proper heel, they'll work out. I definitely urge everyone to give this style a try, as they make your legs look unbelievably long and with a high waist, you'll never look thinner. Try them out with a tucked in blouse a la Derek Lam, or with a lighter denim shirt for a jean on jean look.
