Fashion Friday - Boyfriend Jeans

Happy Good Friday!!! This week's Fashion Friday linkup is brought to you by....Bird....Yet again this little fashionista has inspired another one of my posts.  For me, I never would have even thought about "Boyfriend" jeans if it wasn't for her.  About a year ago we were shopping at Old Navy and she insisted on a couple of pairs of these types of jeans.

Now, they have become her staple piece of her wardrobe.  They are cute, comfy, and down right fabulous!  I love the bootcuts and skinny jeans, but after search and researching these style of jeans, I think I may have to invest in a pair...especially if I continue to get to my goal weight/size!  In fact, there is my incentive. 10 lbs and I will have to go purchase one of these little babies!

Here are some low cost and super cute options I put together using polyvore!

Hello March! Lot's of Happenings!

I cannot believe it is already March.  People we are 2 months put away for the year already!!  What the heck!  I swear time moves at warp speed once you hit the age of 18!

I'm excited for this month though!  This month is going to be SUPER busy between the blog and home it's nuts!

Expect to see continued Manicure Monday linkups, a new tutorial every Tuesday (Tutorial Tuesday, duh!), the new WeightNot Wednesday theme, as well as, the Fashion Friday linkups.  I will continue to spotlight different blogs every Sunday for Spotlight Sunday and I am going to be doing more product reviews for the items I purchase and/or receive.

Bird's dance competition season begins next weekend so I am most likely going to have some more postings in regards to that.  It is very exciting, nerve wrecking, and tiring all combined in to one big tortilla!  But it is sooooo worth it!

As you may have noticed I have opened up a little shop page on my blog.  Take a look, the items are super cute!

I also decided that I am close to 100 followers on the blog (via GFC) and 100 followers on Facebook & I'm inching closer everyday to 300 followers on Twitter!  I will do another giveaway when I hit each of those milestones.  So, once I hit 100 followers on the blog & FB, plus 300 followers on Twitter, I will give away 3 gift cards valued at $20 each.

The Gift Cards will be Forever21, Sephora, & Target!  So get to tweeting out and following! Get your friends to do the same! I want to give away something!

Fashion Friday - S.A.A.

S.A.A.?! You say to yourself?  What the hell is this girl talking about!  She makes up words like "revolutioniers" and now she is creating acronyms?  She's Crazy! <---No I'm not yes I am slightly but that's okay!

Shoe Addicts Anonymous.

Yep, it is as simple as that.  My name is Nicole and I am addicted to shoes.  So addicted that I was put on a limit of 12 pairs per year. It doesn't matter how I obtain the 12 pairs either. So if they are gifted or bought...doesn't matter, they count against my number. Bummer right?!

Here's the thing, I just love them so much and I wear all of them! Not one pair is ever left out! EVER!!  So I don't see what the big deal is! My husband on the other hand does find it to be a big deal!  LAME!

These are my current fav's.  Of courses the Louboutin are my splurge pair that I may just need to invest in very soon!

Fashion Friday - A Tribute!

For this week's Fashion Friday I wanted to pay tribute my country since Wednesday is the fourth of July.  Of course I used Polyvore [again] for my creation and I have actually purchased most of these pieces.  I am a big supporter of our military, being that I once was a military wife....a LONG time ago, but we will not revisit that time right now. ;)  I am, however, not a huge fan of the whole "wearing the American flag" thing.  In fact I find it a little disrespectful, but that's just me and I have no problem with others who choose to wear their country's flag. In fact, I am sure they are wearing it b/c they are so proud of their country.  It's just not for me.

I love to take these holidays to mix prints and find ways to incorporate items that have meaning to the specific holiday.  Since the U.S. flag is red, white, & blue, and stars & stripes what better then to find prints that mimic those very things.  I knew I could count on good ol' Old Navy to give me what I needed; I always find exactly what I am looking for there!  Ugh, I love them so much I can't stand it!

This is something I could even wear to the office if I wanted too!  What do you think?  Would you wear it?

Fashion Friday - A Beachy Confession

It's time for Fashion Friday yet again.  This week the D.C. area (and pretty much everyone below Canada) has hit a HUGE heat wave!  When I say huge I mean HUGE!  99 degrees...and it isn't even JULY people!  Yesterday temperatures raised to a hundred degrees but.... felt more like 106-110 because of the horrible humidity!!!  Dumb D.C. area!  I love you but why must you be so stinkin' humid! [Thank goodness I am traveling to Maine again this summer for a little relief!]

This weather makes me long for the beach.  Dropping my toes in the water and soaking up some much needed sun to give my wintery skin a nice healthy glow (yes, I am aware there is some slight controversy over the sun but I am responsible and only spend time in the sun outside of the danger hours; 10-2).  I just love removing the sand from every crevice my tote bag and cooler!  So annoying!

I have, however, a confession to admit: (*Singing Usher's Confession song as I type...Old Skool BABY!*)

Although I love the beach, I rarely EVER get to go.  And I am never quite comfortable in a bathing suit since, well ever!  It's gotten worse since I had a baby!  Bikini's are a definite "NO GO!"  I haven't worn one since my belly started to show with my daughter over seven years ago.  Mostly, I usually wear Tankini's but they really feel weird lately and I am tired of feeling weird!  So I have been searching for a bathing suit that will be my "go to" suit for the summer and to my surprise I am falling in love with one piece suits.  This is very strange for me since I kind of always had some sort of bathing suit complex since my mom made me do the swim team as a kid.  [DISCLAIMER: There is nothing wrong with "swim team;" it was just wrong that I was "made" to do it and I hated everything about it including the swimwear!]  I digress...

I am loving that one piece suits are making a fierce comeback.  And they are actually cute, not like those ugly Speedo's!  *SHOCKER*  For Fashion Friday I put together another Polyvore creation of what is not only an adorable suit by Kenneth Cole [***ALERT: ON SALE FOR $50 at MACY'S!!!***] but a typical outfit I would show up to the beach with.  P.S. I LOVE Pink & GREEN!

How to: Winged Eyeliner

Hi Everyone!  So, I received a request on how to do winged eyeliner.  Here is a quick and easy to follow tutorial on how to achieve it.  Remember - IT TAKES PRACTICE! Lots & Lots of PRACTICE.

It maybe helpful to use liquid eyeliner first to practice the "winged" shape you want.  Then using the right kind of tools you will be able to use gel liner for a smoother winged eye!

Hope you all enjoy! Flying Off!
