fall nails.

those over at beautylish have decided these are what's hot for nails this fall.

and i can get behind almost every single one of them.

i have an oxblood from last past 2 years when i was (still am) obsessed with wine and magenta, and lucky for me, it's still cool.

and just the other day, when i was buying my new DOMINO!!!!!!, i also bought a dark hunter green polish on a whim. which i thought would be pretty for christmas.

lucky for me, they say that's also cool.

(cheap brand you can buy at walgreens... sorry i don't remember the name or the maker.)

and remember that holographic chanel polish from last week... still cool.

and glitter.

also pretty for the upcoming holidays, no?

what colors are you picking this season?

some random good things.

today is an unloading of some of the things i think are

pretty ok.

i know hologram stuff has been around since spring.

and to be honest, i kinda wanted a small little party clutch since.

and then a few weeks ago, blair eadie

(from atlantic-pacific)

wore this skirt from milly and there it was...

i was intrigued all over again.

and then i found this clutch, also by milly.

and for a cheaper, quicker, less commitment-type of fix, you

can paint your nails in hologram, thank you chanel.

while we're on the topic of atlantic-pacific,

the other day she posted this asos sweatshirt....

and i think it would make the raddest ku game day outfit.

not actually kansas affiliated but everything works.

and it's so awesome and old-school.

and then there are the magazines.

lately, they've been pumping them out.

i'm not always a huge fan of matchbook in the past, but lately, i like it!

and then domino.

don't even get me started.

i've told everyone around me who doesn't give a-you-know-what

all about how my favorite magazine is coming back after a 4 year hiatus.

i have every issue (minus the quick fix things which i thought were silly)

and i was pumped to add another to the stack.

(hoarder).

but domino and matchbook: 

i love the art above your barcarts.

also,

the other day on hbo i saw this movie was about to start:

so i quit photo editing.

then laughed and cried until my face was red.

i can't believe i waited so long to see this movie.

it was truly great.

truly funny. a little gritty.

and a whole lot touching, which surprised me a bit.

i loved it.

rent it or dvr it or redbox or netflix.

whatever you gotta do.

OHHHHHHHH.

and in less than an hour,

i get to find out which type of baby we're having.

pretty excited about that, too :)

happy tuesday.

musings

just a few things i'm digging today.

where do you find such mirrored-like metallic nail polish?

and why can't they also make it in gold?

(same goes with spray paint... you spray paint makers, i'm talkin to you.)

graffiti art

that makes you smile.

lady like buns with gold bejeweled mcqueen skulls tucked in. yes. yes. yes.

from here.

this teensy bathroom with big personality.

it's kinda like elle's.

love.

happy wednesday...half way there

xoxo

elle.

vacay.

sometimes life's hard.

when life gets hard, i wanna vacation!

for today, i think buttery yellow nails could

do the trick!

butter "cheeky chops"

oh monday, monday....

flowers for friday #56

happy friday everyone.

i have a 2-fer for you all today.

just because they were both so lovely and i didn't think it fair to choose between them ;)

i've been really into "pastels" lately. not really the chalky pastels you that burn your eyes, but more the vivid, smidge brighter, and more beautiful pastels... such as the ever popular mint, and this lavender above. 

i tell you, i have been sporting lavender nails all summer long and it makes me smile sparkly unicorn rainbows everytime i look at my mani. no joke. try it and tell me you don't feel the same way. 

i've been wearing sally hansen insta-dri 'lacey lilac' that i threw in my cart at the grocery store on a whim... and it's actually really long lasting for the $4 price tag. perfect!

and then i snapped this one with my phone in my grandma's garden.

i wish i had her thumbs, the green ones. but i don't, so i'll live and just enjoy hers.

have a good weekend, lovers.

keeping my eye on the prize....

with all the snow we've had in the last 36 hours, and i even like it when it snows...

i am going to implement a bright and beautiful mani tonight to help me keep my eye on the prize {spring and sunshine and warmth!!}

i'm thinking "my chihuahua bites" by opi. an all time favorite go-to since college.

almost like a mini vacay for my fingers ;)

i'll be back later with a one of the coolest pieces of advertising i think i've seen yet! stay tuned.
