A girl needs a pick me up once in a while. And what better way to feel good than with a strictly neon nail polish? I was going through my usual weekly polish change, and decided on Essie’s “Fear or Desire”. Described as the ultimate orange crush, this color will surely put a pep on your step. Share your favorite polish colors, and maybe I’ll sport that one next! I’m always looking for suggestions. What girl isn’t when faced with decisions at the nail salon? xo, Aurora
I am very late to this pop culture train, but the hubs and I are certifiably obsessed with HBO’s Girls. The best way to describe it is a hipster/quirky version of Sex and the City. The writing is genius and I absolutely have grown attached to all the characters. I see a little piece of myself in each one of them, and I think the topics they touch on are spot on for our generation. Basically, the exact qualities that made SATC the mega hit it became. Definitely check it out!
This is my one last effort on giving shorts a shot, so you all better listen up and enjoy it! I’m sure it comes as no surprise to all of you that crochet shorts are all the rage. They can be seen everywhere, and I’ve personally seen quite a few of my favorite bloggers rocking a pair or two. Even though I struggle with a love/hate relationship with shorts, I had to give these a little love. They are a little vintage, and a little sassy (kind of like me), so what’s not to love? 😉
Still attempting the “trying to love shorts” project. And I have to admit, I’m kind of losing this battle. I just do not find them very flattering, although I did think this outfit was very cute, festive and summer-y. I’m not going to toss all my shorts in a bonfire anytime soon, but I believe I’ll stick to skirts, dresses, pants and jeans for now. You know who is the real star of this post? MY HOUSE. Isn’t it just the cutest??? Sorry, I have homeowners tourettes. I also loved that I am now able to twirl my hair and apply some hairspray and voila! Instant beach hair! It’s very hard to even consider getting a haircut on days like this!
Additionally I want to thank a lot of you for giving me recommendations last week on places to find great shorts for my body type. As I’m sure you can all tell, I am very petite on top, while my hips don’t lie (thank you Cuban roots), so I appreciate a good curvy fit. I will definitely be checking out Ann Taylor Loft as suggested, and so should all you other ladies with a similar shape!
