No matter what side of the fence you are on, you have to admit that we have one absolutely beautiful first lady.  Young, fresh and modern in her fashion choices many criticize her for not looking like a traditional first lady. This is one of the main things that I love about her.  She did not sacrifice her personal style just because her husband is the president and I think that is extremely noble.

After the Democratic National Convention, I, along with millions of others were absolutely obsessed with Michelle’s nail color on the first night.  It was an unexpected neutral, a cross between gray and lavender that somehow worked with her look without being matchy which is one of my faves when it comes to nail color.

Her actual color was a gel/salon polish but I have been successful in finding a great substitute.  Essie’s Merino Cool is a grayish tone with a lavender tone.  It seems like an odd color to wear but its so versatile and works so well with blues, grays, nudes and so much more. This is a great addition to any fall nail color collection!

What do you think of this color? Is this something that you would wear?

I adore Coral! There is something about this color that makes me happy.  Its a little bit pink a little bit orange and amazingly inviting and flattering.  I automatically feel tan, thin and sexy when I wear it so I say hey, why not wear it everyday if it makes me feel that way

I snagged a super cute little silky shirt dress from Banana Republic (not online ) and I could not be happier with it. It is the exact color of my fave essie nail color…tarte deco!  I paired this little easy to wear dress with neutral wedges, gold and turquoise bangles from Forever 21 (b/c turquoise looks amazing with coral…a perfect contrast) my Michael Kors watch, dainty earrings and hot orange nails and toes.  I have to say I adore this look and its perfect for today’s activity, the Komen Acadiana Grantee Luncheon! Here is how I styled it today.

Growing up, getting ready for church on Sunday was the biggest fiasco.  With three women in the house (my mom, older sister and me) things can definitely go a little crazy.

We always went to the same mass every Sunday, same time no matter what, but for some reason we always underestimated the time, rushing to finish getting ready at the last minute.  My dad still jokes about us switching outfits 100s of times until we finally put back on our original outfits to finally walk out of the house in.

Getting back to my story, my mom always made my sister and I wear a slip.  It didn’t matter if the dress was lined or as thick as wool she would swear that you could see through it and that we had to have a slip.  When I moved away to college I didn’t own a slip so I went against this cardinal rule my mom taught me until this week, I broke down and bought a slip.

A lot of my new dresses for spring are super thin and are just not quite appropriate for work, so I snagged this little half slip from Target to make it easier to wear these items for work.  My FAVORITE thing about this slip is that the waist band is lace, so there is no thin elastic band giving you another muffin top at your waist line.  Who needs ANOTHER muffin top?

So all in all, mom knows best, wear a slip, eat your vegetables and don’t talk back!

I am really loving this seasons bright and neon trends.  With so many new electricfying items in my closet I couldn’t help but mix them. I tried to keep it grounded with dark denim which is my #1 rule of rocking neon colors.

I paired a super cute neon yellow chiffon top from Forever 21 ($10) with a pair of dark skinnies, orange suede booties, turquoise bangles and neon orange nails.

What do you think of my look? Beautifully bright or bright overload?

Christmas is by far one of my favorite times of the year and while I do love to shop for myself I love giving gifts as well. This year during my shopping efforts I have done great about not buying items for myself so instead of buying them I decided to blog them, much cheaper and not so greedy Here are a few things I would love to see under my tree this year!

New Camera – I toyed around with the idea of getting a fancier SLR camera to take great photos of my kids but I can’t sacrifice the convenience of a slim, point and shoot camera.  If I can’t carry the camera in my purse photos will never be taken, just being honest so this little Nikon purple camera seems like the way to go, its adorable, my favorite color and it comes with its own rechargable battery which is vital!

Britney or GaGa Tour DVD – I have seen both these ladies on tour recently and both shows were amazing…why not relive that at home on DVD?

Sewing Supplies – I just recently started sewing so I need all sorts of little odds and ends to make my job a little easier, a great pair of scissors, extra needles for my machine, fabric, thread etc.

Nail Polish and Nail Polish Accessories – I am in love with the stick on nail decals and fun nail polish colors.  I own way to many colors but I cannot get enough. I love OPI, Essie and I am grooving on the new Kardashian Kollection at Wal Mart.  Currently I am lusitng over Khole had a Lam-Lam and Sealed with a Kris and Rainbow in the S-Kylie, as well as Essie’s “Cocktail Bling” “Sole Mate” “Mink Muffs” “Glamour Purse” don’t forget Sally Hansen’s leopard and frock star nail polish strips

Marc Jacobs Daisy – This is my self proclaimed signature scent.  It is so versatile and I think that it easily transitions through the seasons.  I am currently out of the large bottle so obviously I need a refill but I would also love a roller ball version to travel with or keep at work or in my purse

Delicate Rose Gold Ring – I have been in love with rose gold since purchasing my Michael Kors Rose Gold rose gold watch last year.  It compliments my skin and hair color and I get so many comments on it so I want a rose gold ring and I am loving the look of this little bow ring or delicate hammered band.

Arrow Necklace – I am in love with this little teeny arrow necklace in gold/rose gold.  Wouldn’t it be adorable as an everyday peice that you pair with everything? So sweet and charming and so versatile.

Babushka Doll Water Carafe - I am in love with this sweet little water carafe for my bedside table.  It would be such a cute addition to my bedroom with a purpose.

Assorted Dresses/Clothes – I am in love with some of New York and Company’s new winter line.  So many great dresses and tops and their tailoring works so well with my silhouette that its almost a crime to NOT buy them.  Also they have crazy good coupons, like right now in stores all items are buy one get one free, yep FREE! CRAZY! I am in love with this little holiday dress and these super cute tops in atomic red.

Michael Kors Watch – Ok so kind of an extravagant gift but a girl can dream.  There are currently two different watches that I am lusting over, the horn with gold detail one and the Runway watch in brown.  Both are beautiful and would look amazing with almost anything!

What are you wishing for this Christmas?
