Fall Colors

I have to start off by saying that I LOVE nail polish. I love choosing colors...nearly every time I go to the beauty supply store for work, I pick up a new bottle. I don't actually polish my nails all that often, because of the amount of time it takes to dry (and I'm way too impatient to sit still). But I have to tell you, I went in the supply store this week to pick up a few things for the salon, and they had all the Fall colors out...so I had to grab a few. ;)

I've been on the search for a great 'Husky' purple, and have had a hard time finding one. This week, I picked up two shades of purple. One is a little to pale to be a true UW purple, and the other is a little bright, but I purchased both and am excited to wear them next time we tailgate!

Here's the polish that I think is a little too pale, OPI's Purple With A Purpose

And the 'bright' polish, Essie's Sexy Divide

I also picked up a really dark color that I can't wait to try, OPI's Light My Sapphire, which is a great graphite grey that I can't wait to try

And the polish I just put on tonight, which is a great fall color, OPI's My Private Jet. It doesn't look quite so fancy and sparkly on me...in my opinion, this photo makes it look more like a 'special event' color than a daily wear, but I really think it can be a daily polish.

What's your favorite color this fall? Can't wait to hear!

J.Crew

We were on vacation last week and I didn't spend much time on the computer, so I apologize for the lack of posts!
When we got home and I started going through our HUGE pile of mail, I realized it was 'magazine week' while we were gone. Between my husband and myself, I think we received nearly a dozen mags and catalogs!
I just started looking through J.Crew's September catalog, and found these beauties.
If only I had a reason to wear $285 shoes!
I also love this shirt...I wish it came in a pale blue check.
I'm a big fan of this cami, too...
...which I think would look great paired with skinny jeans and a longer cardigan in a rich color. I think I need to go 'back to school' shopping!
