Summer vs. Fall

It is definitely the middle of the summer. It is so hot outside that you can’t walk a few feet without starting to sweat and it's hard to even imagine wearing sweaters, layers and boots. But with some fall merchandise starting to hit stores, it’s making  me wonder which season I like best and which season has the best fashion. And I’m leaning very strongly towards fall.

For starters, fall has the best nail polish colors. And anybody who knows me knows that I am a completely nail polish addict. And if there’s one thing that makes me miss fall when it’s over, it’s the nail polish colors. The deep colors that are worn throughout the fall and winter always seem to look better on me. Plus, I just like the look of dark  polish, no matter if it’s a purple, a blue, or a green.

And then there’s the clothes and the shoes. I love fall because of the layering. There are so many cute cardigans and turtlenecks that you can wear with jeans and boots, or leggings and boots that just look amazing. You can put different patterns and colors of tights with skirts and dresses, or add scarves of different colors and designs to certain pieces and create so many different outfits. I just don't think you can do as much of that in the summer.

 So it’s safe to say that when summer is over, I’ll definitely miss it. I love my flip flops and shorts but I can’t wait to pull out all my fall clothes, layer, and bundle up!

Getting to know me!

Hey :)


I've been wanting to start a blog for awhile and I finally decided to just jump right in! I'll be posting about fashion and my own personal style, make-up and other beauty related items and probably some rants and raves here and there.

I  thought I'd start out by posting a tag, an idea I got from a friend who just started a blog. Just a little something so you can get to know me a little! Enjoy!

It depends on what I’m shopping. Usually in store because I hate paying for shipping but if I can only find something online that I really want, I’ll buy it.

Nordstrom, Forever 21, H&M, The Limited and…Target!
