Color My Life With The Choas Of...well...Color

what makes an girl happy?

a new bottle of nail polish!

What makes a girl even happier?

LOTS OF BOTTLES OF NAIL POLISH!

every time I have an outfit picked out I always use the complete opposite color of nail polish.

Red Outfit = Blue Nails

Green Outfit = Purple Nails

Blue Outfit = Pink Nails

(you get it now)

bright colored nail polish has been a vice of mine lately. especially green!

patterns and sparkle add pizzazz to any manicure.

Here is my collection and some of my personal favorites of the moment...

Accessorizing At It's Loveliest...

ready to dive right in?
I always seem to have trouble trying to pair necklaces with different tops. But I came up with one simple rule that helps me with all my top and necklace dilemmas.
Rule Of Accessory: 
If it's a simple top use a statement necklace.
If it's a statement top use a simple necklace.

A simple white v-neck from Forever 21 paired with a statement House of Harlow necklace makes an otherwise simple top look more fashionable.

This star top by Equipment is a statement blouse and looks best with a simple coin necklace by Forever 21. A patterned top shouldn't be over powered by a chunky necklace because it takes away from the pattern of the top.

Let's talk bracelets, shall we?

I've been really into neon lately and got a hold of these neon green bangles. If you are wearing simple colors such as white or tan pairing neon can really add more color to a casual (let's go grocery shopping) outfit.

These bead bracelets from American Eagle have been kind of my obsession. I always pair these bracelets with my rose gold watch (that's another post...coming soon) and a summer dress. It's a great way to add color to your wrist. They also have delicate little charms on them. 

and finally a unique yet odd combination I've been loving. Sparkle and Leather. Some might fall in love with this or completely hate it but it's a simple mix of the two materials. I have this beaded sparkle bracelet that I love to wear and I paired it with a leather bracelet. I wore them with a leather jacket I had. The combo of the sparkle and leather would look great with a red leather jacket (officially on my "TO BUY" list).

keep your standards high and your HEELS higher...

high heels.

the best and worst invention ever created for women.

they hurt like hell after about 15 minutes but, damn, they're just so awesome!

Shoes make or break an outfit. If my outfit is kind of (for lack of better terms) Dull, 

I always rely on heels to boost my outfit, height and confidence.

because let's be honest, heels make any woman feel more feminine.

Here are some of my personal favorites from my own closet haven...

Top to Bottom:

Brian Atwood Loca Studded Pumps- $800 (retail)

Forever 21 Multi Glitter Pumps- $16.99 <What a steal!>

Steve Madden Pumps- $99.95 (got them for $49.99) <Screams!>

Relationships: Movies vs. Real Life?

I am a firm believer in love and Channing Tatum, obviously.

After every romantic movie the number one phrase every girl says is:

"Oh my gosh, that only happens in the movies."

I've come to the conclusion that real life isn't nearly as exciting as seeing two gorgeous people fall in love from beginning to end on the big screen.

The moment where Rachel McAdams runs to Ryan Gosling in the rain in the movie we've all cried to, is only something us common ladies dream of.

Channing Tatum telling Amanda Seyfried that he loves her in Dear John is nothing but fantasy.

A lot of these movies set up unrealistic expectations for girls around the world. 

Even when you do have a cute moment with a significant other comparing it to the big screen, it almost seems insignificant. 

The dream of Ryan Gosling running up to you in the rain declaring his love for you is only a dream.

And then I got to thinking, where do the writers for these romance movies get their ideas?

Real Life.
