Look What I Got: A Pair of Shorts

Target Shorts (similar), New York & Company Top (similar), Nordstrom Sandals (similar), H&M Handbag (sold out), and Michael Kors Watch (here).


Although it's September now, it's still pretty humid here on the Eastern Shore, so I try to stay cool by wearing either a pair of shorts, a skirt, or a dress.  So,  for today I chose a pair of patterned shorts I purchased last summer at Target.  When I first saw these shorts, I absolutely loved the vibrant colors on them.  So, I decided to style them with a pair of coral sandals, a purple tank, my H&M handbag, and gold accessories.

The Nail Files: Star Seeds

I just love a great manicure, don't you?  Plus, having a set of pretty nails to match as well too.  So, for this week's manicure I kept it simple by applying a coat of Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme clear base coat, and two coats of Mod Lacquer's Star Seeds nail polish.  Also, I loved how my nails turned out:)

Wordless Wednesday: El Yunque National Forest

Today I sharing with you several photos of our excursion through the El Yunque National Forest "Rainforest" outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico.  These particular pictures are of the La Coco Falls Viewing Area located inside of the Rainforest in Puerto Rico.

Although, my husband and I have travelled to Puerto Rico several times in the past, this was our first time visiting the Rainforest.  Also, while in the Rainforest the temperature was cool and it rained on and off, but overall it was a great trip there:)

The Nails Files: CND - Shellac Lobster Roll

Hello Everyone!  I apologize for being absent this past week, but my husband & I were on an 8 day Carnival Cruise around the Caribbean, but it's good to be back.  So, for today's manicure while on my cruise last week I decided to make an appointment at the Carnival Breeze's Spa Cloud 9 for a speciality manicure.  Boy was it worth it!  So, I chose the CND Shellac nail gel polish Lobster Roll for my nails, and I love how my manicure came out:)

The Nail Files: Joanna

For today's manicure I decided to use one of my new Julep Maven nail polishes called Joanna.  I originally wanted to use another polish along with Joanna, but it didn't work out:(  So, I decided to leave Joanna by itself.  I applied two coats of my Joanna nail polish and for my base & top coat I used Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear.
