In Summer of 2011, a nail polish trend where you paint your ring finger a different (complementary color or design) started and it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon. I totally love this trend because it’s fun, relatively simple, un-boring, and I get to have fun with various color combinations.
You could try this with crackle polish, glitter polish, different shades of polish, using nail art pens to draw a design….the sky’s the limit really. This week, I’m sporting neon pink on my ring finger. It also goes along with the Neutral and Neon trend that is coming back this spring 2012.
I’ve had these photos uploaded since December but never posted them (except to facebook and instagram). It’s pretty much the same idea, tweaked a little.
Last night our family went to the Dallas Stars game.
It was the perfect time for baby boy to wear the little Dallas Stars romper that I found for $1 at a local consignment store. The big boy’s jersey was found on clearance at Walmart (yes, I can’t help but brag because bargain shopping makes me giddy).
I didn’t have time to make myself an upcycled team infinity scarf but I was decked out in green and gold. No official “outfit shot” but I wore the exact same distressed skinny jeans/olive tights/over-the-knee boots combo as I did earlier this week. I also had on this bright green long sleeved tee under a longer (lengthwise) olive nursing tank, a cream colored cable knit sleeveless vest, and gold accessories.
It was Rocco’s first hockey game EVER and I’m quite certain that he loved it. His eyes were glued to the ice and lights the entire time.
The Stars beat the Flames and we celebrated the best way I know how….
with liqueur (Disaronno Amaretto and Bailey’s Irish Cream) in CHOCOLATE shot glasses (mine is the white chocolate, see this recipe if you are a fan of white chocolate as well).
We had an amazing time, thanks to our friends for inviting us!
Oh and since I never posted it before and now seems like as good a time as any, here is a video from about 2 years ago when my oldest son was the Dr. Pepper Stick Kid. Ever since that day, Mike Ribeiro has been my absolute favorite Stars player (and my son still thinks he’s a close personal friend). Thanks again to my buddy Jeff for that hook-up!
**Oh and in case you’ve noticed (or not, you may not be reading this on my actual blog) I’m working on redesigning it. I was getting so tired of seeing the old design and wanted something fun, fresh, modern, and simple. What do you think? Still a work in progress…
Pin it This is one of my favorite outfits that I’ve worn in a long long time. Remember way back when I wrote about How To Wear Colored Tights? One of the ways to wear colored tights was underneath distressed jeans with holes in them and boy do I now have the perfect pair for…
Pin it Happy Valentine’s Day! Today, I am soaking up the love of all of my boys while simultaneously sporting this “tired mom yet trying to be stylish and comfortable” look. It works for going back and forth to preschool (please excuse my tummy pudge, I’m out of practice when it comes to sucking…
Pin it Oh my dang y’all!!! Ever since I went to Leyna’s Winter Rainbow 1st Birthday Party, I’ve been more than a little obsessed with the White Hot Chocolate (with RUM!) that was served. It tasted like everything right in the whole world and reminded me of the white chocolate Crunch bars of my childhood…
Pin it Last Sunday, I went to a Dallas Mavericks vs San Antonio Spurs game with my husband for our date night. All of my old favorite Mavs shirts were freakishly small (from a time before I had any kids) but still cute and so I wanted to give one of them a new life….as…
Pin it Yesterday while my oldest was at school, baby and I went to Sephora because I was almost out of foundation (Make-Up Forever HD liquid foundation, posted about it here). I managed to get in and out with JUST that–willpower ftw! Here’s my daytime look. No make-up, my favorite new boots (also seen here),…
Pin it The title says it all. This stuff is no joke. See video. **updated with more pictures below Alright, so yesterday I was in a hurry to post because I was so excited and forgot to include the rest of the pictures I had taken. Note that I don’t curl my lashes. In the…
Pin it I may write/vlog a lot about beauty, but there are absolutely no “beauty secrets” here. I am the first to admit to wearing fake eyelashes, make-up, push-up bras, spanx, tummy controlling shirts, figure flattering clothes, and hair weave. One of the things I love about the Internet, YouTube, and blogs is that I…
Pin it Alright, so lately you all have witnessed me being more than a little obsessed with getting my hands on Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (a tinted lip balm with mango, shea and coconut butter). I normally like to layer my chapstick with lipstick and/or lip gloss because I love having color AND soft lips,…
Pin it Yesterday was a special day for a few reasons. One of them being that my friend Michelle (who recently moved across the country) was in Dallas for a visit and so all of my favorite mommy-friends got together for brunch and a night out. Here’s what I wore: Earrings (from….geez I can’t remember…
Pin it As many of you know, I love my Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I’m so glad that they are constantly coming out with new (and seasonal) designs because I wear them sooo much (if I had to pick a favorite, it would be glitter). For once there is a drugstore…
Pin it So. I was just shopping around the internet with my eyes…trying to get a leg up on what’s available for spring 2012 and such when out of nowhere I fell in love with a Rory Becca Fringe Tunic Tank ($13.80) at Forever21.com. I’m not sure what came over me but visions of Spring,…
Pin it ***Many websites and blogs are blacked out today in protest of the SOPA/PIPA bill. If I had any clue how to black out my blog without deleting important stuff, I would but I’ve been gone most of the day anyhow. If you are a lover of the beautifully creative internet community and want…
