Beauty Secret

While in New York this past week I received several compliments on my grey-brown hued nail varnish (at top).  Rarely one to stray from light pinks or red, I had gone out on a limb and snatched up a bottle of “mouse” from American Apparel.  The best part?  A week has past and still hasn’t chipped!  Now that it’s received the neo-trad stamp of approval I can’t wait to invest in more colors.

What nail varnishes are your favorites?  I’m always looking for new brands/hues!

The Perfect Red Lip

These shots from J.Crew have me searching for the perfect red lipstick for fall.  I have such trouble getting my lipstick to stay on…it’s always melting away.  Any tips???

Pixie Inspiration

I had my pixie cut trimmed last week and it’s shorter than ever before.  These photos of a stunning, young Jacqueline Kennedy were my inspiration.  Short was never so chic!

The New Varnish

I just adore the bright hues of this nail varnish collection by NailEZEE.  Founded by three sisters in Miami Beach, their products not only look chic, but also promote nail health and natural growth.  I have my eye on the moody Eden Rock-N-Roll (bottom left) for fall!

Are you daring enough for frolicking flamingo or key lime pie?

My friend Ashley’s blog is impeccably curated and the addition of these Christina Henderson photos was no exception.  Published in the LA Times, the accompanying interview is fantastic as well—did you know the Mad Men bombshell plays the accordion?  Unexpected and somehow, hopelessly cool.
