What to Buy for Fall

These styles are wardrobe game-changers:
Buying just one will completely revamp your look for fall.
There's something for everyone.

Long-Sleeve Mini
If you've got great gams, show them off in a sexy mini. And for the fall season, balance out the shorter skirt length with longer sleeves—the style looks modern and it'll keep you at least a little warmer in the cool weather.

Leather Pants
If you buy a pair of leather pants, you're guaranteed to a) feel like a rock star and b) want to wear them every day (partly because you forked over an entire paycheck to buy them).  For an affordable alternative, try waxed denim: jeans that look like leather.

Sexy Stripes
Add a striped dress or sweater to your closet to make a preppy-sexy statement this fall.

Jungle Print
Look for animal prints, abstract camo and anything tribal-inspired.

Lovely Lace
For a hot ladylike addition to your wardrobe,buy something made of lace.

Metallic Sheen
If you're only going to buy one party dress this season, it's got to be silver, gold or bronze. A living disco ball in a very good way.

Short Suit
Forget the suit you bought for your first job interview and pick up a version with shorts.  Try pairing a basic tee with a matching jacket and shorts in a bold print.

We've worn the hell out of every sundress in our closet and are getting the itch to revamp our wardrobe. This season, there are a bunch of new trends I’m super psyched about.

What Fall Fashion Trend Are You Looking Forward To Wearing?

Weekend Recap & GTKY!

Friday- My roommates Jess, Rebecca and I did a little girl time running errands and such.  The girls wanted to go tanning and Jess had a free tan so she let me use it at Beach Bum Tanning.  I went in the platinum level bed for 8 minutes.  It's nuts how many freckles came out on my face in that short period of time.  Then we went to the Verizon store because Rebecca and I are looking to get the iPhone and it just came out in white!  Rebeccas studying abroad starting the end of August and the iPhone doesn't have international so she can't use it.  Plus, the iPhone 5 is "supposedly" coming out this October so I think I may wait.  Then we went to "Face Value" to look at nail polish!  I really think my extreme nail polish hoarding really revved up all because of them and their love for nail polish.  We did contain ourselves and walked out empty handed :)  We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  So delicious!! After a filling meal we came home to get beautified for a night out.  My best friend Heather came up (like she usually does) because Friday may be one of our last good, fun college nights out before the semester ends :(

Saturday: I came home for Steves Birthday!
I Love You Steve!  I went to his house so he could open his gifts. I forgot to take pictures :( ... I got him new Nike gym sneakers, plaid shorts and a Tshirt that says "Los Cabos".  My family gave him bathing suits, so he's all set for vacation now.  We watched the Yankees play against Toronto, Yankees won 5-4.  It was a good game! I was going to get Steve tickets for that game and I'm mad I ended up not getting them.  After the game we headed to the mall so he could return so clothes and look for things for vacation.  I ended up buying these items from New York & Company.
Tropical Paradise Maxi Dress
$41.96

Slubbed Sleeveless V-Neck Top with Ruffle Embellishment
$36.95

Chic Chain-Accented Bag
White Leather Handbag - $30.06

In Express I purchased.

I only went to Victoria Secret beause my surprise amount-off coupon was expiring.
I also had $10 off coupons, and a free panty coupon.
I bought 3 new pairs of underwear, an orange PINK tee not picured online, and PINK coral shorts.
Steve and I had a small dinner, we split a plate because we both weren't extremely hungry, then saw the new FAST 5 movie!!
Fast Five is full of beautiful cars, beautiful women and
GOREGOUS SEXY MEN!!
*PAUL WALKER* and VIN DIESEL!
Both of these men are truely so sexy in my eyes :)

I've been a huge fan of the "Fast and the Furious" movies since the beginning.  All of them are part of my "Favorite Movies." 
 Fast 5 didn't disappoint!! It's full of action, suspense, and good laughs.  There were so many toe-curling-moments!  I really enjoyed it and would recommend seeing it!

That was pretty much my whole weekend!

I'm A Nail Polish Luv-ah!

I just bought some new Essie nail polish I wanted to share.
I decided I'm not going to buy nail polish for a long time now.
I have redicuilous amounts of nail polish, its really sick.


Essie - French Affair
This color is part of Essie new Spring 2011 collection.  I'm actually wearing this color right now.  French Affair. It's a very light baby pink.   the formula is creamy and dries to a glossy finish. After applying two thick coats, my nails were completely opaque.    I really like how this color looks — it’s pastel without looking chalky or streaky.  I think I'll be wearing this color a lot.

Essie - Figi
I saw this listed as the polish that "The Bachelor 2011" Emily was wearing.  I LOVE THIS COLOR!  Whenever I'm wearing it I can't help but look at my nails.  This color is the perfect light pink with a hint of white undertones and perfect for summer.

Essie - Mint Candy Apple
I was wearing this color last week and really liked it because it's unique and fun to wear.
It was nice to have on a shade that wasn't a dark winter color.   Mint Candy Apple is a cool blue-based mint green creme.

Essie - Tart Deco
Tart Deco is a peached coral cream. The formula was easy to work with, surprisingly. Though I’m wearing three coats in the swatch, you really only needed two for an opaque finish. The shade itself isn’t too thick, but it is on the thicker side, and I didn’t have any issues with streakiness.

To my fellow nail polish lovers: 
What colors are you currently wearing, liking
 or loving for Spring into Summer?

Hello Spring... or so I thought..
The weather forcast for the past few days was predicting snow for today but I didn't think I'd wake up and actually see snow on the ground and cars covered. 
WHAT THE HECK NEW JERSEY!
I'm totally over this rediciously weather we've been having.
I was just in beautiful warm 80 degree weather and 3 days later I'm in snowy 35 degrees.

I've made acouple of fabulous purchases lately:
 
Essie nailpolish came out with a new Spring `11 collection
While in Face Value today I picked up the shade "Sand Tropez" that I've been eyeing
Essie Sand Tropez. This shade is a beige sandy nude creme.
It has a little bit of grey, a little bit of taupe. Its a nice color.

While in Tucson, AZ last week I picked up 3 new sandals!

Gladiator Wedge by Kelly&Katie. 
I dont have any sandals like this so I'm gald to add these to my shoe collection.
$44.95

Chinese Laundry Glamor Flats - $39.99

and silver sparkle GUESS flip flops - can't find an image.

I'm a huge Bethenny Frankel fan, that betch is hilarious! I was super excited for her new book-
"A Place of Yes: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out of Life"
to come out yesterday March 22.  My wonderful boyfriend picked me up a copy.
In her new book Bethenny opens up and shares the obstacles she overcame and the great success she has enjoyed while discovering how to approach life from “A Place of Yes.”  Bethenny developed ten rules for pursuing her goals with authenticity and drive, and is sharing them for people to use to be more successful, more fulfilled, healthier, and happier than ever before.
I can't wait to start reading!
