My Trip to St. Petersburgandy & Cosmos, Cupcakes, & Chanel!

When I need to unwind after a long week, I automatically reach for a bottle of nail polish. Pairing my favorite guilty reality show (Keeping Up with the Kardashians anyone?) while painting my nails has become my typical routine.

What I must must recommend is the Seche Vite Top Coat. If you're anything like me, I'm sure you have about 5 bottles of clear polishes that just didn't make the cut. Well ladies, your search is over. This is it. Glamour actually did a recent review of it and if you don't believe me (I understand, my faith in top coats have diminished throughout the years from countless failed purchases), maybe they'll change your mind haha. I absolutely love it, it dries super fast and chipping is a thing of the past. I purchased my bottle at Target but I'm sure you can find it at any drugstore. Have any of you tried Seche Vite yet? Thoughts?

My trip to St. Petersburgandy courtesy of O.P.I cost less than $10! : )

And if Legally Blonde has taught us anything it's that us girls sometimes just need a trip to our favorite nail salon! One of my favorite nail salons is Bellacures. Their comfy chairs are enough of a reason for me to make my appointment. One thing I love raving about is their cleanliness. I'm a bit OCD, so it's an added plus for me every time I see them opening a new package of disposable tools. 

They just opened their newest location in Studio City and their grand opening is next Wednesday, February 23 and they have some great promotions going on that I'd like to share with you!

The Essentials: Khaki Blazer

I'm definitely getting teased by the weather of Orange County. 80's one weekend and rain the next. Make up your mind! But I found a foolproof outfit that I could wear for either occasion and I just love the versatility of it. I think it's important to have some basic essentials in your closet and these are the pieces you know that will never go out of style and you can basically wear it with anything!  

One of my favorite pieces is this Elizabeth & James Blazer. I'm a huge fan of their line (so you'll be hearing me mention them a lot!) and their blazers are the perfect to-go piece without being too masculine. Please forgive the quality/lighting of these pictures. I took some quick pictures before I ran out. I just wanted to share with you guys my outfit!

I love throwing on a great piece of statement jewelry. It automatically brings any casual look up to the next level.  Next blog I promise I will have better photos! : )
