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.
What I Wore: European Vacation {Day 2}
On our second day in Barcelona, we decided to take a bus tour to catch all the big sights. One of our first stops was Gaudi’s on-going masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia. Although I had seen pictures and heard stories, seeing this majestic structure for myself is something I will not forget anytime soon. Especially when I could admire it from a bench in a park across the street while holding hands with the hubs. It was just a special moment. I knew it had to be the backdrop for my outfit post! And it was.

Lovable Friday!
Happy Black Friday! For all you of brave hearts heading out to confront the throngs in local malls, may the force be with you. I rather sit on my couch and do my shopping online. For those of you that agree, here’s a list of some of my favorite holiday gift finds:
Lately, when I think festive, I think Kate Spade. Her style just screams holiday, and not in the gaudy way. In fact, she knows how to execute classy yet fun flawlessly. These earrings are the perfect example. This is a great gift for a mother-in-law, sister or wife. I know I would be happy to see these under the tree!
What I Wore: European Edition {Day 1}
I promised I would do an outfit post every day while I was parading around Europe, and I’m happy to say I kept that promise (well, it got a little harder as the trip progressed and more and more clothes were dirty). Day 1 brings us to Barcelona. We absolutely loved the city, its vibe and beautiful sights. With every turn, there was something creative and beautiful. When we first arrived, jet lagged and groggy, we just decided to walk aimlessly. We walked down the famous Las Ramblas, made a couple of turns and stumbled on this adorable park sprinkled with cute children, pets and awesome graffiti. I had found my spot!
China Glaze Giveaway Winner!
As you all know, the lovely Lori Todd hosted quite the amazing giveaway last week while I was away for a set of China Glaze polishes. You were all totally pumped for the prize and shared your favorite shades (thanks for giving me some to add to my every growing wish list) in hopes of being named the winner.
Well, that time has come and I’m very happy to announce that Ms. Madonna Flowers has won!
Congratulations, Madonna!
Lori will be contacting you to get all your information shortly.
And thanks to all of you for participating! I will be posting another fun giveaway in the weeks to come.
Magical Moments Monday
There is definitely a lot to be thankful for on this magical Monday, so I won’t waste any more time and just get to it:
x. The hubs and I just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary & it was perfectly low key & romantic. Just our style.
x. Being home after a wonderful 2-week vacation. I missed our house and dogs so much!
x. Watching a shirtless Henry Cavill parade around with large sticks and bedazzled bows (as in archery, not hair accessories) in The Immortals.
x. Catching up on all our missed TV. What’s better than one episode of Fringe? THREE.
x. Pumpkin pie froyo date at TCBY.
x. A full-length Hunger Games trailer. And it looks amazing.
x. Getting my hubby completely enraptured with the HG series – now I can fangirl out with him!
x. Feeling the love on our new couple blog, The Bombardment Society.
x. Finding a fully stocked Harajuku Mini collection at my local Target AND being able to fit into a size XL!
Hope the rest of you had a fabulous week!
You all better keep on those strict diets leading up to Thursday’s turkey extravaganza!
Gobble gobble!
What I Wore: Plus-size edition
I’ve always identified as a chubby girl, from age nine when my friends began calling me “Thunder Thighs” to today, where I find myself relegated to the upstairs, back-corner section of Macy’s “WOMAN” section. Being a plus-sized girl isn’t easy, especially when you’re surrounded by the superficial, body-conscious masses of South Florida.
Over the past few years, I’ve overhauled my wardrobe, going from 2XL t-shirts and jeans to dresses, skirts and blouses. After earning a double-platinum super rewards edition of the Lane Bryant credit card, I still found myself craving fashion that was out of my reach. Thanks to the amazing online community of plus-size fashion bloggers, I’ve slowly been amassing a great collection of pieces from curvy-friendly online retailers.
Here’s a peek from my latest hauls from Torrid and ASOS Curve.
SQUEEWORTHY: nail polish giveaway
While Meli is romping around Western Europe with the love of her life, some of us girls have been holding down the fort for her. Elissa got us all hot and heavy over Emile Hirsch and shared some fabulosity with us, and Anika reminded us why Nathan Fillion earned the title of Captain Hotpants before giving us her own rendition of Loveable Friday. Now that the baton has been passed to me, I don’t intend on dropping it!
I’ve got a little confession to make: Over the past 12 months, I’ve become quite addicted to nail polish. My collection began with a meager bottle of Rimmel 60 second vinyl shine in “Zeitgeist”, which I had been hauling all over the states with me since I graduated college over six years ago. (Nail polish NEVER goes bad, ladies! It’s true.) And today my collection looks like this:
Lovable Friday!
1. Kleancolor’s chunky holo nail polish colors
Like Miss Melificent herself, I adore a fun manicure. When I came across the above manicure from The Swatchaholic the other day, I knew I had to look into these colors more. Turns out: there are a ton! Even better? On BeautyJoint.com they’re only $1.75 a piece. I haven’t placed an order myself yet, but at that price I feel like you kind of can’t go wrong. I also found swatches of all the chunky holo colors on Swatch and Learnso check that out if you want to see how a particular color looks.
Lovable Friday!
Hello fashionable, smart shopping ladies! Have I got a good find for you. Some of you may already know about JustFabulous, but for those who don’t, I wanted to take the time to introduce you to my #1 personalized shoe deal site. If you’re like me, you are a member of a large number of deal sites by now, but I cannot express enough how much I love this site, brought to us by the fabulous herself Kimora Lee Simmons, President and Creative Director for JustFabulous.
I have bought a few shoes from a couple of similar sites, however, I haven’t been impressed with the selections offered to me on a monthly basis. In my opinion, JustFabulous has exceeded my expectations in offering incredible shoes, jewelry and bags with great prices, quality and fast delivery.
JustFabulous is similar to ShoeDazzle, but they have impressed me in having style options that are more in line with what I feel, supplies better shoe results. Have I mentioned their rewards are pretty great? Not only will you receive points for your own purchases, but you receive them for your friends purchases (should they use your invitations to join the site) and they will continue to add more ways of earning points to redeem. The point redemption prizes are great, you can choose from a variety of point sets that include: shoe accessories, clothing accessories, haircare products, sunglasses, beauty kits and even credits for a free purchase!
I would also like to add that, the personalized boutiques don’t just stop with you, but you can shop your friends boutiques as well. Since the first day I joined JustFabulous, I have purchased 2 pairs of shoes, one handbag and a necklace. Sign-up is free and it does not require you to enter in any payment details for VIP Memberships. So without further ado, I invite you to join JustFabulous.
