Glitter Manicure


I tend to run out of manicure ideas very quickly, and thankfully glitter polishes help me extend my range of options. I recently got this Essie glitter polish in my March Birchbox, and I've fallen in love with it. I paired it with Wet n Wild's Break the Ice. It's not the greatest quality polish (I bought it as a set on a trip home to Michigan as an impromptu manicure fix), but it stays on nicely topped with the Essie polish. And to cap it off, I used Essie's Good to Go top coat. The overall look reminds me a lot of ...love Maegan's Silver and Gold glitter manicure.

I'm always excited for the beginning of a new month, because it means a new Birchbox and MyGlam bag will be arriving in my mailbox soon. And from the sneak peeks I've seen on the MyGlam Facebook page , this one is going to be one of the best yet! I can't wait to show them to you!

Office Space

For a while now, I've wanted a space that was completely my own, and now that my husband and I have moved into our three bedroom townhouse, I can start working on it. The problem is, my designated room is serving as the guest bedroom/storage room. So my plan this summer is to finally set up my room that will serve as my office and craft room. After browsing Pinterest, I realized that I tend to gravitate towards chevrons and hints of gold, so I really want to incorporate those into the space. Here is some of the inspiration I've gathered over the past two months.

Lovin' Louboutin's

Louboutin's are one of the most widely recognized designer shoes, and can be seen on many Hollywood celebrity's feet. These shoes are a luxury staple in any woman's wardrobe, but will certainly cost a pretty penny. As much as my husband doesn't understand the appeal, I do. They are gorgeous, each shoe a piece of artwork. The attention to detail, down to the rich, red sole, is incredible, and that's part of what makes these shoes so special. Hopefully one day, I can call one of these shoes my own.

A Week of Shopping

It has been a while since I've been shopping for myself, so this week, I went WAY overboard in terms of my budget. So much over that I am now living off almost nothing for the next week. However, I did manage to pick up some really amazing items that help ease the pain of being broke.
Rock & Republic Platform Wedges $28.97
•Classified Brand sandals- Bought at a local boutique for $14.99

Deena & Ozzy Studded Clutch $19.99
I have been drooling over this clutch for months now, giving not-so-subtle hints to my husband that he should buy it for me. He never did, but waiting so long paid off. I bought it on sale, and there was a special for free shipping. It was as if it were meant to be!
And with payday coming up this Friday, and an amazing coupon in my wallet from Rue 21, there will be more shopping next weekend! Hope everyone's was as good as mine!
