What I Wore: Best Friend's Bday



Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all are having a wonderful time with family. My day has been pretty low-key, but it did involve some sushi at my favorite Japanese restaurant =)


I spent Saturday night celebrating my best friend's birthday. I wish I had taken pictures of her new apartment in downtown San Diego. She did a beautiful job decorating, I was in awe! Next time I visit, I will be sure to snap some shots.

We had dinner and drinks, and it was a fabulous time. The birthday girl danced the night away, something she rarely does. Before I left my house, I took a really quick outfit picture.

Flowy bubble sleeve top - Express, Printed skirt - Forever 21, Patent peep toe flats - Circa Joan and David (Macy's) Ring - H&M

You can't tell because my hair was covering them, but I wore these:

They were a hit! The turquoise is even more vibrant in person. They glowed against my dark hair.

The skirt is so comfortable, and I LOVE the fact that it has pockets! I decided to wear flats that night because I wasn't sure how much walking we would do. They are my first ever peep toe flats, and I got them on sale at Macy's a few weeks back.

Thank you for reading!

Thanks, UPS Man!

Last Summer, I distinctly remember flipping through an issue of People StyleWatch where I saw this:

I admired Michelle's beautiful turquoise earrings designed by Kendra Scott, and made a note to order them. Then other items piled onto my wishlist and I forgot all about the pretty stone earrings.

Until recently, when I saw them again appearing on blogs. How could I forget their beauty?



 I ordered mine here, after visiting the Kendra Scott website and waiting for the Danielle earrings to come back into stock. They come in a multitude of bright colors, the turquoise being my personal fave (and everyone else's too). I cannot wait to wear these tomorrow for my friend's birthday! Thanks, UPS man. You brought my earrings to me in the nick of time.

Reader Request: Rose Gold Nails

Rose gold fingertips!

Rage by Orly.

 I bought this bottle at Target, a surprise encounter.

Orly can also be found at Sally's Beauty Supply, Ulta, and in many salons.

~Indoors~

And since it's Spring and my garden is a bloom with roses...

I'm quite the photographer, aren't I? (sarcasm my dears)

What I love about rose gold nails is that the effect is almost like foiling. There's so much dimension depending on what the lighting is like around you. I find that this shade is soft. It's metallic, but it isn't as stark as true yellow gold or copper, which I find too harsh at times. It's a lovely gilded shade that I know will enhance many skintones. What a great way to get in on the blush gold trend .

Happy Wednesday!
