I'm Indi-A Mood For Love

For today I thought that I would link up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss for her Mani Monday.  I recently had a manicure and I wanted to share with you a photo of my nails.  The polish used wasn't a nail polish, but a gel by OPI Axxium called I'm Indi-A Mood For Love.  I've linked up my manicure and I hope to see your nails as well:)

Here is a photo of my nails:

Look What I Got: A Peplum Top

Old Navy Sweater (similar), Forever 21 Top (here), Forever 21 Flower Pin (similar), Old Navy Jeans (here), Nordstrom Flats (similar), Zara Handbag (here), Fossil Watch (similar), and Derng Bracelet (here).

I'm a huge fan of peplum tops, so last week when my husband and I were at the mall, I got a chance to visit Forever 21.  While in there I stumbled on this cream peplum top and it was only $15, so I decided hey why not?  So I bought it:)  
Also, I'm linking up with Tara from Penniless Socialite and Sharon from the The Tiny Heart for their Look What I Got Link Up.  I hope to see you there:)

Wordless Wednesday Hop

My camera for whatever reason won't let me download my pictures into my computer, but I didn't want to miss out on a blog post, so I thought that I would link up with Crafty Spices for their Wordless Wednesday Hop.  Below are some pictures that I took during our ski trip in December in Colorado, I loved capturing the scenery where there and took many pictures when I wasn't skiing.  So don't forget to stop on by and link up with me, I hope to see you there:)

Shades of Black & White

The Oxford Trunk Cardigan (similar), Gap Tee (here), Old Navy Jeans (here), Sorel Boots (here), ILY COUTURE Scarf, (here), Michael Kors Watch (similar), TheWayWeAre Shop Black Chain Bracelet (here), Love, Always Chain Bow Bracelet (here), and Tom Ford Sunglasses (here).

For those of you who haven't heard of The Oxford Trunk, it's an online boutique specializing in fashion, handmade jewelry, and accessories, that are on point with the trends.  What sets them apart is the fact that all of their pieces are under $50.  The cardigan I'm wearing in my photos above was purchased from The Oxford Trunk, originally it was sold out, but I was notified when it became available again, so I bought it:) 
Although it's been snowing here lately in Indiana, my cardigan really came in handy on this particular snow day.  I decided to pair my cardigan with a long sleeve black t-shirt, black skinny jeans, a studded handbag, pair of snow boots, and black & gold accessories.
PS...I apologize for my dry hands, for some reason or another my skin has been really dry this winter, go figure.  Any suggestions on what's really good for dry skin, please let me know:)

A Starry Night

 Gap Jeans (similar), Forever 21 Top (similar), Nordstrom Flats (similar), Forever 21 Handbag (similar), Fossil Watch (similar),  Jewelmint Bracelet (on sale here), (similar here), and Derng Bracelet (here).


For my outfit today, I'm wearing Gap's Metallic Star Legging Slimmer Jeans.  I saw these legging slimmer jeans at the Gap a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't buy them because I didn't try them on.  However, after talking with the sales associate while I was in the store, I probably should have gone ahead bought them, because the pair that I really wanted sold out in my size by the the next week:(  So, I ended up buying this pair instead, which I still love, I just really wanted the dot pair:)

I decided to pair my slimmer legging jeans with a yellow peplum top, black flats, my studded handbag, and gold & silver accessories.
