Fashion for the Fourth


You don't always have to go literal for holiday fashion. Keep is classy people. You can also venture out to different shades of the holidays colors. Take a risk!



Since nails are such a big deal these days, I thought I've give you some ideas! All you need is red, white, blue and a little sparkle!


Some fun facts about 4th of July/Independence Day:
More than 81 million Americans will partake in a BBQ
31 places nationwide have "Liberty" in their name. {Most populous is Liberty, Missouri with 29,149 people}
$218.2 million of fireworks were imported from China in 2012.
$3.8 million of U.S. imports of American flags in 2012 and $3.6 million were made in China. 
50 U.S. flags are flown 24 hours at the Washington Monument.
3 notable Presidents have died on Independence Day {Thomas Jefferson, John Adams & James Monroe}
Americans will consume over 150 million hot dogs.
2 of america's greatest national symbols were made overseas: Liberty Bell was cast in England & The Statue of Liberty was crafted in France.
Biggest beer selling holiday!

CHEERS TO THAT!

Have fun & be safe at your 4th of July celebration!

Essie Obsession


You know you can't live without a lil essie in your life either! It's so hard to resist every time you visit Target. It's amazing how those little bottles jump in the cart! {wink wink}

Here are my top 5 polishes from their latest collections:

beyond cozy - metallics By Essie

{a decadent silvery gold glitter} 

A girl can never have enough glitter. OK, maybe some people can. 
{within reason people, within reason}

hip-anema - pinks By Essie
Hip-anema
{a poppy bright red-orange}

{I think that's a sign, for sure, that I need this}

madison ave-hue - pinks By Essie
Madison Ave-hue
{a chic upper east side pink}

Your feet are already moving, aren't they? This is the perfect party polish! Girls night anyone?

April Showers Bring May Flowers

The best part of spring is watching all the nature bloom. Everything seems so pretty after such a freezing white winter. {Brrr}

It's like instant motivation to plant flowers and work out to get that bikini bod.OK, maybe not the bikini bod part. That might take a little more motivation, like trying on a swim suit and looking in the mirror. {sigh} More like, instant depression. 

So these May flowers that April showers bring... I have some pieces that may inspire you to put a little floral in your life!



Floral top with a pop of color on the shoe!


Floral bathing suit 
{better start doing those crunches!}


Mixing patterns with a floral skirt and polka dot top... CA-UTE!

Wild Wednesday!


Taking risks in fashion is the only way I see it! It's being a leader and not a follower. {Words I try to live by}


It's basically the same approach I do with my cooking. I take inspiration from multiple recipes and take the ingredients that I think sound good and put those together!


All in all... Put your own twist on things! Find the inner leader in yourself & inspire everyone!
