One of my favorite things to wear when the weather starts to warm up is a maxi skirt, or dress! Every spring season, I look for a fabulous maxi dress to add to my wardrobe. This fun, maxi wrap dress from Shabby Apple fit the bill for spring 2016!

With the 1970s trend in full swing for spring, this Shabby Apply maxi wrap dress fits into the trend perfectly. Wrap dresses are very ’70s, and this print has a vintage flair to it. I love how this geometric print fits in perfectly with the architectural/geometric trend we saw on the spring 2016 runways in New York. I feel so runway-ready in this dress!

Since the colors, and the pattern, stand on their own, I decided to go understated with my accessories. These Kendra Scott earrings, and matching necklace, from the spring 2016 collection have a geometric look, and blend in with the dress. They are great for wearing with this Shabby Apple maxi wrap dress, and for everyday wear!

This Shabby Apple maxi wrap dress was a little bit on the long side for my 5’4″ frame, so I instantly knew I would pair it with my favorite, old stand-by pair of Prada platform sandals. They are from the 2009 runway collection, and are a great investment pair of black shoes. I love how they work with the dress. For a cute pair of black platform sandals under $100, please click here.

I am looking forward to wearing my new Shabby Apple maxi wrap dress this spring; and also in the summer months! It is a great dress for daytime; and it can be dressed up, or down, depending upon which handbag, or shoes, are paired with it. I love versatility!

If you are ordering the Shabby Apply maxi wrap dress online, look at the sizing carefully. I normally wear a 6 or 8, so in this dress I got an 8. The 8 is a little bit big, I think a 6 would have been better. So if you are between sizes like me, go with the smaller size. If you are always a straight size, then go with your true size.

This is my first piece from Shabby Apple and I love it! I am looking forward to adding more Shabby Apple pieces to my wardrobe in the future. You can find this dress and more at ShabbyApple.com

Chanel Chaine Or nail polish review

Pictured: Chanel Chaine Or nail polish from the longwear polish collection.

Chanel Chaine Or nail polish is a beautiful, bold, gold nail polish hue from Chanel’s new, and reformulated, longwear nail polish collection. This bright, gold hue is perfect to wear now, as we move into warmer weather, and again during the holiday season. It is a light-hearted, festive nail polish shade perfect for celebrating holidays, or life in general!

The Chanel long wear nail polish collection includes fifteen new, reformulated nail polishes in both new colors, and best-selling colors. The improved, 5-free formula, includes bioceramics, and ceramides which are known to improve the quality of the nail. I love the fact that Chanel nail polishes are made from good, safe ingredients which are not harmful, yet still deliver a chip-free manicure experience.

Chaine Or nail polish by Chanel is a fabulous first color to try from the new longwear collection. It is a versatile color which is easy to wear on a daily basis, or for special occasions. Gold matches everything! Love that!

I tested out Chanel Chaine Or nail polish with one base coat, two coats of longwear color, and one top coat. The new nail polish formula performed just as well as it’s predecessor. When my nails grew after one week, I changed my nail polish which was chip-free, due to my nail growth. I love long lasting polish!

Chanel Chaine Or longwear nail polish is a bold, bright gold hue which is anything but shy. This color is definitely attention getting, and fun to wear! It sparkles in the sunshine, and enhances any metal color ring. I love the look of metallic nail polish when paired with a bold, statement ring. It really brings all the colors together beautifully.

I am really excited about Chanel’s new longwear nail polish collection. There are so many colors, I am not sure I will be able to buy them all. I will pick out a few, and review them for you. If you see any colors from the collection you would like me to review, please let me know in the comments below. In the meantime, enjoy Chanel Chaine Or nail polish! It is such a pretty color, and it is a great staple to keep in your nail polish collection for special occasions, holidays, and any day you feel festive!

The Beauty Detox Power Yoga Series by Kimberly Snyder review

“The Beauty Detox Power Yoga Series” by Kimberly Snyder is a fabulous Vinyasa flow yoga video which is easy to follow, and offers a great yoga workout. I am so excited to share my experience with this video with you!

I normally shy away from Yoga classes because my gym time is limited. In a perfect world, I would have time to incorporate a yoga class into my weekly workout schedule. So when I heard about “The Beauty Detox Power Yoga Series” by Kimberly Snyder, I was thrilled! Finally a yoga video which isn’t lightweight; it is a great workout!

“The Beauty Detox Power Yoga Series” by Kimberly Snyder offers two yoga workouts plus a Pranayama breathing practices session. The first Vinyasa flow-style yoga workout is Flow Series I, which is perfect for experienced beginners. This is the category I consider myself. The workout is challenging enough to keep me interested, yet uses poses I can actually do. Let’s face it, I am not that flexible. After the workout, I feel relaxed, energized, and all stretched out! Love that!

The second workout, Flow Series II, is an intermediate level yoga workout. I am working up to this workout which is attainable yet challenging. My Mom, who has been doing yoga since the 1970s and considers herself advanced, loves this workout and said it is perfect for intermediate level yoga students. Hopefully I can catch up to her someday!

The two yoga workouts are sixty minutes each. The Pranayama breathing practice session is seven minutes long. If you are an experienced yoga student, you could do all three workouts for a total of one hundred, twenty-seven minutes. Now that would be a good workout! Hopefully I can work up to this. I really enjoy this video!

If you are looking for an amazing yoga video, you can do any time of day, this is the video for you! I am in love with  “The Beauty Detox Power Yoga Series” by Kimberly Snyder. It is the perfect workout for days when I cannot make it to the gym, or I want to workout at a funny time of day.

You can find “The Beauty Detox Power Yoga Series” by Kimberly Snyder online here or online here. I hope you love it as much as I do! Namaste.
