Nails in Essie "Cabana Boy" (so pretty)

These days, I'm reaching for anything but bright color. I don't have a specific reason or explanation why, I just seem to be enjoying a more neutral palette. I have a lot of labradorite jewelry, and I like wearing it with olive, grey, black, beige, and white. When I plan my outfits, I typically keep in mind what jewelry I'm going to wear and then dress accordingly. I know that may seem unusual! Most people keep the focal point on a pair of shoes or a great statement clothing item, but I like to pick out my jewelry and then have the rest of my look follow suit. Of course, this could change next week so I may contradict myself. I can't stop thinking about our upcoming Hawaii trip in the Summer, and I love wearing bold, vivid colors on the beach. Stella & Dot has some beautiful turquoise pieces right now so I'm waiting on an order. There's nothing prettier than a light tan and golden accessories to match the carefree feeling of Summer. I'm sure a lot of you are thinking about it too!

Nails in Chanel "Gitane"

Chanello! It's probably one of the most memorable scenes from Sex and the City, when Charlotte and her event planner friend Anthony enter a Chanel store and see a strapping young door man. Who doesn't love Chanel? I do, but my friend thinks my quilted jumbo flap looks like, and I quote, "an old lady". What? Bite your tongue! Hey, those were her words, not mine. Anyway, I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't carry it as often as I should because there is no way in Hell I'm getting another one (unless we win the lottery). So I take care and guard it like it's made of pure gold. 

We didn't go to brunch again this time, as you may recognize the stone wall from my this post. I just fell in love with the background, and while taking our dog for a ride, we decided to stop by again and snap some photos. It was difficult to resist the restaurant, so we popped in for a mimosa. If you guys follow me on Snapchat, you'll know that Nate and I are doing a 10 day detox. A smoothie for breakfast, a healthy salad for lunch, and a protein and vegetable for dinner. You can snack on raw veggies with hummus, mixed nuts like almonds or walnuts, and hard boiled eggs. We are almost done with the detox, but I'm enjoying the way I look and feel so much that we are going to just keep it going. Of course we'll allow a few indulgences here and there but overall, I think it's a great way to eat. If you want to read more about it, the link is here.

Currently Loving

It's been a few months since I talked about the things that have been occupying my brain lately, but I really miss doing these so I hope you enjoy this quick read today! I'm sure many of you can appreciate a break from the usual outfit photos and beauty products, especially since it's almost time for the weekend and time to unwind.

So what am I loving? Marble! Everywhere I turn, I see the marble trend. Whether it be in decor or on jewelry, the pretty stone is inescapable. It's such a clean, simple way to accent anything and it looks so chic. Because it's neutral, you can incorporate it into practically every taste or range of styles. Who knows how long the trend will last, but for the time being, bring on the Instagram flatlays of anything on a giant slab of marble.

Do you like this trend, or is it getting a little cliche?
