Ruby Ruby

I was in need of a manicure today, so I thought I would go ahead and give myself one:) So, I began to trim and file my nails. I chose the color red, and I used SinfulColors Professional Nail Enamel Ruby Ruby and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Invisible as my top coat.

Here's a photo of my manicure:

The Color Purple

Banana Republic Top (similar), Old Navy Jeans (here), Just Fab Handbag (here), Nordstrom Flats (here), Fossil Watch (here), Luxe Craving Bracelets (here), DIY Black & Gold Chain Bracelet and made by me.

Yesterday we received 6 or more inches of snow here in Indiana which meant there were some school delays, and several school cancellations including my sons school. So today, I decided to wear something comfortable, warm, but cute:) I love this shade of purple, although I've owned this top from Banana Republic for several years now I haven't worn it in awhile. For today I decided to wear my purple top with a pair of skinny jeans, black flats & handbag, and black and gold accessories:)

Lust

I recently had a manicure and this particular time my manicurist used IBD's color Lust Polish UV Gel on my nails. I liked this particular color on my nails and I also liked how my nails turned out:) I'm linking up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss for her Mani Monday.

Here is a photo of my nails:

Look What I Got: Striped Top

H&M Top (similar), Old Navy Jeans (here), Nordstrom Rack Flats (similar), Better Life Bags "Brynnda" (here), Michael Kors Watch (similar), and Lillies & Silk Gold and Tortoise Bracelets.

Lately I've been shopping around for more striped tops to add to my collection, so while I was in H&M one day, I stumbled upon this striped top and it was only $9.95. Score! So, of course I had to buy it along with a few more, but different colors:) Linking up with Penniless Socialite...

Mani Monday

Today is Mani Monday, so I decided I would link up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss. I'm wearing on my nails today an OPI GelColor called Big Apple Red. I'm a huge fan of the color red, so this shade is probably one of my favorites. I've already linked up and I hope you do as well:) Here is a photo of my manicure:
