I've been in a serious shopping slump lately, can anyone out there help me? Over spring break I managed to snag a few keepers but I've become pickier and pickier when it comes to shopping and my personal style. A quote caught my eye while reading In Style,
"I've vowed to stop collecting trendy pieces just because they're 'in'. At this point, I'm very sure of my style, and I know what works on me and what doesn't. So I'm going to focus on looking for new tweaks..."
I never felt more akin to a sentence, honestly. So by pledging to stop buying trendy pieces has certainly made it hard for me to shop. It's definitely a learning and growing experience. I've been reading and reading and reading this seasons trends and for some reason I haven't found something that really catches my eye minus metallics (which is too trendy). I'm trying out the blush trend though! Thoughts? Since blush isn't really my favourite colour I decided to make it a little more masculine by wearing all black with the rest of my outfit. Still as feminine but more me. While thrifting over spring break I found this gnarly faux leather button up. It's a size medium but I cannot wait to keep grungin' it up with layers.
I am wearing: Shirt - J.Crew, Leather collared shirt - thrifted, jeans - PacSun, shoes - Target, sunglasses - Ray-Bans.

I hate, hate, hate chipped nail polish. If there is one
thing I cannot stand on myself and others it’s chipped nails. I totally get it. Not all
of us have a personal manicurist on hand and in a society so demanding chipped
nails are inevitable, right? I’d like to think I’m one of the women who tries
to avoid this tragedy at all costs. Last July, I started doing my own gel nails
and I’ve never looked back. I still remember the first time I got Shellac done at a
salon my junior year of high school, I HATED IT. My French was too thin, and it started chipping within a
week. I’m pretty sure that was the first time the lady had done it as well. Also,
taking gel nails off can be the biggest pain but I’ve learned some tricks here
or there. LED lamps are life changing, honestly. No chips, your nails (may or may not grow stronger and longer), and your finger nails look nice all the time.
Last time I saw my high school French teacher she was wearing this
amazing shade of polish. I fell for it instantly and prayed it came in gel. It's called Peace & Love & OPI.
My picture doesn't do a justice whatsoever but its a duochrome from OPI that
shifts from blue to purple. I knew I had to have it. Despite
the $16.50 price tag, it was worth every penny. Plus it’ll last 2+ weeks
without chipping! I'm obsessed. Tell me your thoughts on gel nail polish! Why
or why not?

Besides my new glasses, I am obsessed with this coat c/o Trendy Blendy. It's called the Silly Wabbit Sweater Coat. One might think it's pretty different from what I typically wear, but I like it simply for that reason. My friends often make fun of me for how similar items are in my closet, but I thought I'd prove them wrong and choose something I had nothing like this time! I feel like I can fall asleep in this coat, hide away in it, among many things. It's a diverse coat because it's sort of a sweater at first glance but its also surprisingly warm with faux fur in the inside. What else? It has the cutest nerdy bunnies on it! Who could say no to those? I feel like they describes me in a way. Plus, in this snow it's nice to just grab on when I'm running late.
Hope y'all have a lovely Valentines Day! One of my favourite bands, Tokyo Police Club, put out a Valentines Day single, give it a listen!
