Frankenstein Manicure
Happy Mani Monday and Happy Halloween!
This week I did a super fun frankenstein manicure. It requires a bit of a steady hand, but you don't have to be a pro since it's a silly sloppy monster. It was easier than I expected!
(this color stains your nails a bit, I recommend using a clear base coat
as well as a coat of white underneath to protect your nails.)

Pumpkin Costume
I love a good costume, but sometimes they can be expensive. Some years it's worth it to take a more ladylike spin on a costume so that the money you spend on the garments doesn't feel so bad because you can piece them out into your everyday wardrobe. I love that everything in this outfit is totally affordable and totally versatile. I actually did this same outfit last year with a dress I snagged in the sale section at H&M for only $7!! Total score!

Big Bird Costume
This year for halloween I wanted to be Big Bird and have Mr.Husband be Cookie Monster. Unfortunately with all the political hooplah going around this election season, it's just a no go. Too many people will also be dressing as the lovable bird and I don't want anyone to think it has anything to do with a political agenda. I just like Big Bird. But for the record, I'm with the bird. :)

Rock-n-roll Chick
Sometimes I dress like a full on sugary sweet cutie patootie. Other times I wanna be a bad ass rock-n-roll chick. Isn't that just the best thing about clothes? I love that an outfit can totally transform my mood, my attitude, and how people perceive me. Do you like to mix it up as much as I do, or do you stay pretty true to just one style aesthetic?

Vivienne Westwood
I'm an animal lover and vegetarian. I would never in a million trillion years go hunting. But I would totally wear this "fox hunt" outfit. You know, to the grocery store or the post office. So chic. So quirk. So wonderfully British.

Kendra Scott Jewelry
I have a confession to make.
I am obsessed with Breaking Pointe.
I'm sure many of you know that when I grow up I'm going to be a ballerina, so I suppose it's not that much of a surprise, but here is the real confession: Breaking Pointe only has 6 episodes. I watch about an episode a day... Every day... Since it originally aired... Anyway, it's not a "I'm a stalker" obsession...
To the pointe (get it!! pointE?!), one of the dancers on the program, Beckanne Sisk wears some beautiful jewelry, envy worthy. So after some research and a bit of luck I found out some of the earrings I'd been lusting over that she wears are by Kendra Scott. The particular pair unfortunately is no longer available, I believe it was "Andi", but fear not! There are plenty of other beautiful styles to choose from:

shorts with knee high socks
How chic is this look!? Do any of you rock a knee high or over the knee sock with shorts? I'm so looking forward to playing around with this style this autumn.

Rocker chic
Not that I had any money to purchase any of this when I was 20, but man oh man am I jealous of the selection of "dark" rocker chic clothes that are on the market now. Don't get me wrong, I still covet all my vintage slips, corsets, and British combat boots, but it was a lot harder for us back then to be alternative. Maybe harder is the wrong word, it took a lot more effort, which in a way made it a super exclusive group to be a part of. Who knew 15 years later it would be borderline mainstream...
