Nails Did -- Lace

Picked up some lace trim a looooong time ago at MOOD Los Angeles wanting to do a fancy lace nail design. I've been putting this off for about 300 years, lol. but finally... I did it. I did not wanna over-do-it and added the lace on top of my Essie "Flirty Pink" (bright neon pink) on only two of my fingers!
What do you think?? I'm kinda loving it, im not gonna lie :D

Here are a couple other ways you can LACE yo nails..

You can lace up all ten of your fingers... Check out Fresh Fiend's version of lace nails HERE (pictured above)

Or... lace up the tips! soooo cute!

Thoughtful Thursday -- Kelly Cutrone

After watching Kelly Cutrone on MTV's The Hills, and now on her new show on Bravo "Kell on Earth," I fell in love with her strong will to get everything done at the same time as being successful and a single mother.  My favorite quote, that Ryan Seacrest pointed out in her Book (pictured above) on his radio show, is regarding the word BITCH.


"I have never seen Bitch as a bad word. Instead I see the word for what it is, a reflection of people's lack of creativity and inability to acknowledge and embrace powerful women."

Zig-Zag Wedges -- Yay or Nay?

Wowza.. These are crazzzzy wedges.. I ran across these "Zig-Zag" Wedges while online window shopping! It's kinda dramatic and definitely a show-stopper. Yay or nay???
You can get your own at Victoria Secret for $89 a pop!

What We're Wearing Wednesdays


For Wednesday, Sarah seemed to dress a little more appropriately for the "chance of drizzle" weather, lol.
She's definitely rockin' the sweatshirt style vest from Forever21 really well! She paired it with a plain white men's v-neck T by Hanes, her shiny nylon leggings by American Apparel, and light grey pumps are from H&M. Her accessories include white and silver bracelets from Forever21.
Nikki's trying to channel the Spring/Summer seasons by pulling out the shorts early; no pairing with tights here...
The black shorts are by Macy's INC brand, T-shirt is by American Apparel and designed for the band One Republic. The striped cardigan is by Old Navy and Brown pumps are by Nine West. Her accessories are from Forever21 and H&M.

Future Wicked Deal



Starting Sunday, March 7, Target will feature designs by iconic designer Jean Paul Gaultier!


Gaultier describes his collection for Target, saying, “My collection with Target pays homage to the wide range of personalities that make up the diverse styles of American women. From ingĂ©nue to rock ‘n roll, this collection celebrates women of all ages and a host of distinctive, iconic American styles.”




The images above feature some of the different and diverse pieces that make up part of Jean Paul Gaultier's collection for Target. At first I was a bit hesitant after looking at the collection and couldn't figure out his theme. Then, after reading his philosophy behind the collection, I could definitely see his genius peek through. Having so many pieces allows the customer to be creative in their own right, while still applying past, present and future style to their wardrobe.
The price range for his collection at Target will range from $17.99 to $199.99 (being that his leather jackets are real! haha)

To get a more extensive sneak peek at the collection, click here. I credit fabsugar.com for providing these looks before they hit Target stores.

Tuesday Fit


Tuesday, I decided to go for a Spring(ier) look and hone in on the khaki/neutral looks for this season.
I wore my new Old Navy pants, which are regular length, but rolled them to give a cropped look and to show off my fabulous Nine West heels.
The cropped jacket is by Ann Taylor Loft and white short sleeve with breast pocket is from Nordstrom.
Necklace is from Macy's and bangles are made of bamboo and were purchased in Maui.

Nail polish is "Mean Green" from Claire's Accessories. Love this color!

Transitional Thinking

-"Phillip Lim's Leather Top Bridges The Gap Between Two Trends"-

"What's a woman to do when her closet full of leggings and studded tops is made instantly obsolete by a season's worth of camel hair, gray flannel, and glen plaids? Is there a happy medium? This 3.1 Phillip Lim shirt comes close. The black leather is a nod—not a scream—to 1983, but the cropped silhouette is sleek enough to pair with the new high-waisted, wide-legged trousers. Baby steps, ladies, baby steps! " -featured in Style.com, 'Item of the Week' report

Trendy Travelin'

Featured below, are some items found at our more cost reasonable outlets. These outlets, of course include, Forever21, Urban Outfitters and Express.

Monday Outfit


Nikki's outfit for Monday includes a yellow v-neck from Old Navy's newest shipment, her black tuxedo vest is from Forever21, and her black skinny jeans are from ANGL. The blue suede pumps are from GoJane.com, and the bangles are from H&M and Forever21, mixed.
I also wanted to show how I dressed up this black tuxedo vest for today's wardrobe, as opposed to the dressed-down look I created last week.

Big Belts


Add some flare to your Spring dresses and Skirts by adding a thicker, military style belt to your wardrobe. Incorporate heavy pieces from colder seasons to slowly transition your way into the warmer climates.
Check out our favorite places like Forever21, Express, and Urban Outfitters, to get your hands on these fun pieces!

Luella Heart Cut-Out for Less

Early January I blogged about the Lolita style and this cute Luella Dress in Spring/Summer 2010 collection that the wonderful Alexa Chung is workin!

The Black Heart Dress is found at Gosh Celebrity Fashion for $139; and the other two heart cut out dresses at ASOS -- Lipsy Polka Dot Dress $83 and Heart Insert Pencil Dress $62

Much more budget friendly and just as cute!

Makeup Monday -- Coco Rouge

I've been looking for a new lipstick for a long long long time... I'm more of a lipgloss kind of girl but I am opening up my horizons to bigger and better things like... CHANEL COCO ROUGE

Then I saw the sneak preview from Makeup & Beauty Blog of the Coco Rouge collection debuting February 25, which is this Thursdayy!!!! now.. I'm in love! <3 <3

Friday Fits


Casual Fridays are just wonderful sometimes, don't cha think?
Sarah's keepin warm in her Military inspired jacket from Forever21, Hello Kitty shirt from Karmaloop, Jeggings by H&M and black Uggs!
Nikki's wearin a new cream colored boyfriend cardigan, blue levi's, black flat riding boots by Franco Sarto, and a cerulean blue camisole underneath for a hint of color.

Nikki's Nails


Thanks to Sarah, who is always rockin some creative manicure, I got inspired to have some fun with my nails as well.
I recently went to Claire's Accessories and found this Teal color, bottle name is actually "Mean Green", but I fell in love with it for the new upcoming seasons.
But, since we're still in the winter season, I added a little dark, sparkling detail to mix with the pastel.

Jeremy Scott 2010


As soon as I saw the "Style" Dress by Jeremy Scott for his 2010 FW Collection, I immediately became intrigued by his style. I featured a few of his items that walked down the catwalk this past week. I'm getting a whole super-spy, incognito feel from his collection.
I actually think I would wear some of these pieces. I'm definitely enjoying the boots, but also the last two items on the bottom right. The zipper dress is pretty hot!

For more of his collection, Click Here.

Fashionista Friday -- Victoria Beckham

Not only is Victoria Beckham a walking advertisement for Mr. Christian Louboutin, she's a fashionista. I love how she always looks so prim and proper and throws you a curve ball with her LOUBOUTINS!
Check these babies covered in Swarovski crystals going for a weee bit under $4,000!!!

These are some fierce spiked "dont Eff with me" Louboutins! chowwwww!
Pumps, peep-toes and booties, she has em all... and they are all... (you guessed it) Louboutins.

Nikki came comfortable in an Old Navy off top (the same one I wore on Tuesday, different color, obviiii), Old Navy cargo trousers and cuuuute Forever 21 vest -- kinda like a blazer with no sleeves! She added her own steeeeez with her grandma's necklaces and Aldo silver gladiator sandals!
