What I Wore: European Vacation {Day 3}

Our third day in Barcelona was a good one. We took it easy. We visited the Picasso Museum, strolled through the port and had a very romantic dinner complete with wine and paella. I think this city is just made for romance and adventure – forget Paris (but that’s a whole other post). Although our stay got a little wetter than usual, the weather was still fantastic. It was beginning to cool down a bit, but not enough to need a coat and the hazy sky made it look even more foreign and mysterious. Have I mentioned that I loved Barcelona?

1. Mismatched Triangle Studs

Little triangles seem to be all the rage in terms of accessories this Winter. Although I no longer visit brick and mortar stores, and am visiting proper online stores less and less frequently as of late, I can report that this is at least the case on Etsy. I have favorited many a triangular necklace, ring or, in this case, earrings. Not on Etsy (& coming with a major price tag), this mismatched pair of studs just makes me smile. I think it would make the perfect gift for a fashionista wife or sister, what say you?

Incoco Review


Sometimes it’s really difficult to always have your nails look presentable. I don’t know about the rest of you, but it can take longer than anticipated and really test your patience at times. For that reason, I was interested in the whole nail decal revolution. However, Incoco are not your regular nail decals. They are nail stripes made of real nail polish, complete with base, color and top coat. The company boasts itself as providing the world’s only flexible nail polish, which can be contoured to fit any nail shape or size.

Happy Hump Day: Hugh Grant

My friend used to pose a question to all girls he met, “Ewan McGregor or Hugh Grant?” He believed that this would lend some insight into their personality, but eventually became a source of frustration. Why, you ask? Well, because he realized every single girl he encountered would reply with Hugh Grant. He just couldn’t understand why. I always told him that it was his boyish charm that won us ladies over (despite that pesky arrest for lewd behavior). Since those college days, he has moved out of Florida and we don’t keep in touch steadily, but I do wonder if he ever met a girl that replied Ewan.

Since you all know what I answered, what would you?
