1960’s inspired

A-line dresses are a huge trend for spring 2013. This universally flattering style is easy to wear and looks amazing on almost everyone. When I saw this dress at The Gap, I knew it would be the perfect A-line dress for the spring/summer season. LOVE!

Are you wearing the A-line trend this season? What do you think of the style?

Dolce & Gabbana Gentle nail polish for summer 2013 review

Dolce & Gabbana’s “True Monica” collection for summer 2013 embodies the modern beauty look straight from the red carpet and the Milan Fashion Week runway. This collection features a Smokey eye and nude, to pale lips and nails. Although considered classic and chic, this beauty look is hot for summer 2013.

From the “True Monica” collection by Dolce & Gabbana is a nail polish hue named “Gentle.” This dark “nude-like” hue offers a cool rose color which is dark enough to wear through the summer season and into the fall 2013 season. Love this!

I tested out “Gentle” by Dolce & Gabbana and the nail polish proved to be long lasting! Dolce & Gabbana “Gentle” stayed chip-free a full eight days with only a base coat and two coats of color. I did not use a top coat.

This is a great color to have in one’s nail polish collection. “Gentle” is a classic color which easily blends with any color palette from any season. The classic nature of the color transcends trends making it ultra-chic. Love that! Since Dolce & Gabbana nail polish is long lasting, “Gentle” is also a wise investment purchase!

Dolce & Gabbana “Gentle” is priced at $30 and can be found online here.
