Sunday Shopping

Gap zip-up, Under Amour jogging pants, Nordstrom top, vintage bag, vintage shoes, Urban Outfitters nail polish.

Nothing like an early bird shopping trip to start the day off, the straight-outta-bed hair really completes the look. This bright sweater is from Gap about four years back, before they changed their color scheme to gray-scale. Like I said before though, they just came out with a new color campaign for this spring (which you can read about here) appropriately named "Be Bright". 

It looks a little something like this:

Gap Spring 2012 "Be Bright"

I'm really excited for the weather to start heating up, but until then I'll just have to fake it with my colorful clothes!

Sparkle & Fade.

Inspired this week by the most recent Teen Vogue issue (Feb. 12) and the story they did on hair and nails. I loved this one the most,  particularly the orange crush nails. I decided to try my own version of it in a more subtle way because the blue sparkles I had were a bit too overwhelming.

The process is really simple though! Start with a coat of polish in a similar color to your glitter, then in a little dish (I used an empty contact lens case) press your nail  down then shake off the excess. To seal the glitter, cover with one or two coats of clear polish. Sephora sells their own version by OPI that comes already in a little container.

Also, my new Calvin Klein crossbody bag--doubles as a clutch when you take the strap off!
