A Little Hand Love

So this may be cheating because it is not technically clothes, but I think that nails are a big part of fashion. Every since I was little I have loved getting my nails done, or attempting to do them myself. I read in June's Cosmopolitan magazine that "white is the new black" when it comes to nail color. I'm so excited about this, especially for summer! A French manicure has always been my go-to for nail design, but all white is so much easier! Although cosmo was referring to a simple fresh coat of white paint, I have decided to jump on board with the OPI shatter craze. Before I even knew white was then new nail color for summer, I bought this shatter set with a white top color. I have to admit I love the shatter, even my dad asked me tonight who did my nails, and I responded with a very proud, "me." So here's my pick this week, happy painting!

Wedges

Going along with the theme of things making a comeback, this week I've picked my new favorite shoe.
I remember having a pair from Limited Too, they were lime green. My mother informed me that she used to have wedges too, and while they have been around for what seems like forever, this summer has been their unofficial comeback season. I bought a pair the other day, much taller than my Limited Too ones. I love how they dress up jeans without being too dressy, like heels. And they also look awesome with sun dresses. These wedges are Jessica Simpson's. Not the pair I bought, but you get the idea.

The Return of the Romper

I have to admit, last summer I was a little timid about the romper. But after realizing how comfortable and easy the look of the romper is I was excited to see them back on the shelves this spring. I've already purchased three for this summer, including this one from Express. We have the 70s to thank every 90 degree day we can grab a cute, comfy and cool outfit out of the closet quickly instead of having to piece together shorts and tanks everyday.
