Kendra Scott nail polishes are some of my favorite polishes! This beautiful grey hue named “Slate Grey,” is a fabulous neutral hue which is perfect during any season of the year. My friend Dawn of FashionShouldBeFun.com gave me this bottle for Christmas; she definitely knows what’s hot, and what I like!

Slate Grey by Kendra Scott is extremely easy to wear on a daily basis. This color plays well with the current winter color palette, as well as spring’s incoming hues. It is a nice, medium grey shade which works as the perfect neutral. Love that!

I tested out Kendra Scott Slate Grey nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. Like other Kendra Scott polishes, Slate Grey lasted a full week without chipping! It is always a good thing when a five free polish does not chip. So many of them do, but not Kendra Scott! Her five free nail polish collection is as chip resistant as a nail polish could be. Love that!

Kendra Scott Slate Grey nail polish is a great staple for one’s polish collection. You can find Slate Grey by Kendra Scott online here.


How to style a spring skirt in the winter

how to rewear spring clothing in the winterhow to style a spring skirt in the wintergivenchy antigona small black sugarwinter into spring outfit idea winter pastels

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / Laura Mercier lipstick / Banana Republic sweater (on sale!!) / long sleeve tee-on sale! (layered under sweater)  / Givenchy handbag / Topshop pleated skirt (I’m wearing petite) / Christian Louboutin nail polish / Bottega Veneta booties / socks hidden in booties

Wondering how to style a spring skirt in the winter months? This is something I find myself doing often. I love spring and summer clothing, so I tend to purchase more clothing during the warm weather seasons then I do during the winter. My two weaknesses during the winter are coats, and jackets! So I find myself reaching for spring or summer items in my closet, and restyling them for the cold winter weather.

I will say this, the San Francisco Bay Area is more mild in the winter months compared to other parts of the country. That being said, our temperatures do go down into the 30’s and 40’s sometimes, so I need to strategically style spring and summer clothing for the winter.

This outfit I have featured in this post I wore to church a couple of weeks ago, and then out to lunch with my family. It is a spring skirt, winter sweater, fall booties, and accessories which transcend seasons. In order to stay warm in the high 40 degree weather, I layered a long sleeve tee underneath the sweater, and I am wearing ankle socks, you cannot see, inside my booties. It worked like a charm!

If temperatures were cooler than they were that day, this outfit could easily be worn with knee or thigh-high boots, thicker socks, and a coat. I think a navy coat such as this one on sale, would be fabulous! Also, if you top it off with this beanie, it would look NYFW, street-style ready. Love!

Guerlain rouge lipstick in 62 Georgia review

Guerlain Rouge lipstick is a lightweight, cream lipstick which includes it’s own compact mirror. I love how this lipstick comes with it’s own mirror. It is quite handy when you have a small handbag or clutch, and need to save space. Love it!

Normally I shy away from cream lipsticks, but sometimes an occasion, or an outfit, calls for more lip color then a sheer lipstick can provide. When looking for cream lipsticks, I always look for ones which do not run, smudge, cake, or add weight. My lips do not need to weight-lift during the day thank you very much.

This cream lipstick by Guerlain is just perfect. It does not add weight, never smudges, doesn’t run, and stays put on my lips. Love! Plus, did I mention the cute little compact mirror? 😉

I chose Georgia 62 as a nice contrast for spring in my lipstick collection. Most of my lipsticks are either beige, golden, or vampy; which is in line with spring 2017’s lipstick trend. Sometimes I just want a classic color, and to eschew trends for certain moods or activities. This classic, pinkish coral hue is perfect for just that.

The Guerlain Rouge collection of lipsticks is fabulous when I need a cream lipstick. This is my first Guerlain lipstick and I love it. I am looking forward to adding more to my collection in the future.
