Electric Blue

I have been a fan of the color electric blue for quite some time now. While I admire the way it glows in the light, the best thing about it has to be its ability to compliment any skin tone. This magnificent shade of blue is also appropriate enough to be worn on any occasion during any given season, making it extremely versatile. Is there a color you really love to wear that makes you feel radiant and confident?

P.s, did any of you lovely bloggers watch the finale of The Hills? What did you think of it? Although I was not impressed by this last episode, I can still say that I will be missing the show. It was a great series, especially for fashion inspiration and eye candy (Brody :))!

Well, That Was Easy

I have never had a "plan of attack" when it came to approaching sales. This weekend, Nordstrom will be holding their annual Anniversary Sale --a gigantic sale where almost everything in the store gets reduced temporarily. To prevent making unnecessary purchases as I have done in the past years, I'm going to attempt to make a list of the things I plan on buying...a very vague list of course.

P.s, Who watched the finale of The Hills?!

Fields Of Gold

I've been experimenting a lot with accessories and different nailposh colors lately. My friend R got me this necklace a few months back for my 21st birthday. There are supposed to be 3 strands of beads on it, but the third strand broke the first time I put the necklace on. :( She has been pushing me to return it, but it's too gorgeous to let go. That's the thing about necklaces from Urban Outfitters. They're pretty, but not the best quality. I still love them though!

As for the nailpolish, I was at the mall 2 weeks ago looking for a good glitter polish. I decided try Sephora because all of the other stores either had pricy brands like OPI and Essie, or were not up to par. I stumbled upon The Only Gold For Me, a gold glitter polish with hexagon shaped glitter. I decided to test it on my thumb nail and from there, it was instant love. I wasn't about to pay $9 for glitter polish, so I decided that I could live without it. To my surprise, two weeks later, it has maintained the same appearance that it had when I first applied it. Sephora, you are convincing me more and more to purchase this polish. I might just have to get it. Do you guys think it's worth it?

Dreamboats

As I put together this post, I am watching Coyote Ugly. I couldn't help but to remember all the times I watched this movie as a kid with my neighbor, and how I thought of Adam Garcia as such a dreamboat. Some other celebrities I had secret crushes on as a tween were Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Erik von Detten, and Taylor Hanson of The Hansons. Those were the days. Who were your celebrity crushes as a kid?
