GRAPHIC TEE'S

As of late, I feel like graphic tee's are making a comeback. I have always liked a cool graphic shirt placed in the right outfit, it just adds a little bit more of the cool-girl feel. For a night out, I love one paired with a printed skirt and simple blazer.

FRIDAY, I'M IN LOVE.

WHAT TO WEAR: WORK

Bringing your personal style to work can be a tough challenge. I grew up watching my dad wear suits every day, so i just figured thats how it was. Black, navy or grey with a white shirt. 

Snoozefest, right? Right.

Thankfully, joining the working world made me realize that not all office dress codes are that formal and boring. Enter the colored pants, which I really just think are fantastic and quirky for work. Mix those with chambray and a layered cardigan, and you will look not only stylish but professional.

ORGANIZING MAKEUP BRUSHES

As of late, I have entirely too much time on my hands so I have taken the opportunity to give my apartment a good scrub down. Unfortunately for me, this includes organizing. I would much rather wash dishes than organize every day of the week. As for my makeup, to be honest I usually leave it on the floor in front of my mirror, and occasionally throw it all into a makeup bag. 

This my friends, is very bad for your brushes. 

I very much like this idea of using pretty cups or jars to organize your brushes. It's very simple to keep clean, adds a cute touch to your room or bathroom, and makes your brushes easily accessible.

CELEB COPYCAT: ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELY

I think it's pretty apparent I am very into monochrome looks right now. Here, I love that Rosie Huntington-Whitely added the pop of red in her bag. I tend to think of deeper reds as a winter color, but I think the lightness of the outfit balances it out for a summer night.

BEAUTY BARGAIN: NYC NAIL POLISH

I pick and choose what beauty products I like to spend on. Concealer, powder, blush, and eyeshadow definitely fall in the money spending camp. What doesn't? Eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and most of all nailpolish. I don't know why, but $8 for nail polish just seems freaking crazy to me. I have tried out my fair share of the ultra cheap (looking at you Sinful Colors... worst nail polish ever), and usually the quality is just too terrible to deal with. Today I gave NYC in a NY Minute polish from Target and was very pleasantly surprised. 

And it only cost $1.12! What!

Seriously, give it a try now. They have really cute colors, good texture, and are less than $2. I think I just found nail heaven.
