Ombre Nails









So there's a new craze about ombre nails, especially after Lauren Conrad was spotted in them.

I have to admit my favorite nails are the purple ones. If you want to give it a try use a sponge to dab on your nail polish! Have fun and post pictures if you decide to give ombre nails a try!

The Code

Love for the Code






Kickback





After reading Sara Tee recent post about her school's dress code I decided to come up with some outfits that may fit it. Here are her school's stipulations:

+Dress es and skirts no higher than 2 inches above the knee. Dresses must cover the shoulders.
+Tops must be formal in appearance with no designs or text or excessive cleavage
+Pants should be formal and must have leg seams and no sewn-on pockets
+When sporting pants, a blazer has to be worn as well
+Shoes must be dressy. Moccasins, rainboots, and Birkenstock-style shoes are not allowed. Boots can be worn with dresses/skirts but must be worn inside pant legs
+No denim, including vests or jackets

Maybe some of you can come up with some to add! (:

Dangerous Beauty



I came across this picture while looking for 80s fashion. I don't know why but it screamed out to me! lol

80s Rocker Chic

H M linen jacket
£15 - hm.com

Jane Norman belted skirt
£28 - translate.googleusercontent.com

Sam Edelman studded heels
$190 - shopakira.com



This was my way of recreating the outfit. I already have a white blazer I got while thrift shopping and a black H&M skirt I bought for less than 10 dollars. (:
