I cannot get enough of my new Citizens for Humanity petite jeans! They are so comfortable and they fit perfectly. I love wearing jeans with breezy blouses, and this off-white one from Lush is perfection. I love the breezy silhouette it has, and the fabric is cool for a hot summer day. It also looks amazing with cut-offs or regular shorts.

If you would like to pre-order a new Mansur Gavriel for fall, you can pre-order one online here and here. If you have been thinking about it, don’t hesitate to order! They will go fast. I love my Mansur Gavriel handbag. They are strong handbags, not to mention on trend! I can fit my DSLR camera inside my large drawstring bucket bag, as well as stuff a denim shirt inside, my wallet, phone, and a water bottle. It is amazing how much this bag fits! It is also amazing how heavy I can make the bag, and it withstands all the weight. The high quality construction of Mansur Gavriel handbags is nothing short of amazing! I pre-ordered the new shoulder bag for fall, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

Also, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is going on right now! It is the perfect time to pick a few fall essentials at a discount before the season starts. To see my picks from the sale, please click here. To shop the sale, please click here.

The Hello Kitty Supercute Friendship Festival took place July 10-11 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. The festival attracted a large crowd of dedicated Hello Kitty fans. In addition to entertainment on two stages, there was a fashion show, photo kiosk, Hello Kitty Sweet Movie Time Theater, Sanrio Friendship Forest, Hello Kitty and Couture Display, Penny Press, Temporary Tattoo station, Hello Kitty Paper Display, and there was plenty of supercute merchandise for sale too.

We attended the Hello Kitty Supercute Friendship Festival on July 11 at 2pm. The event was jam-packed with Hello Kitty fans and tons of activities for adults and kids alike. My kids enjoyed the jumpy house, live entertainment, photo opportunities, fashion show, and art activities. Everything was supercute!

The fashion show showcased Hello Kitty fans and their supercute sense of style. It is amazing how creative people can be! This was the first annual Hello Kitty Supercute Friendship Festival, and it was super fun! We are looking forward to future Hello Kitty events.

Christian Louboutin Scarabee Voilet Blue nail polish review

Pictured: Christian Louboutin Scarabee Violet Blue nail polish. Limited edition, summer nail polish.

Christian Louboutin’s new Scarabee nail polish collection features three new colors, including Violet Blue, which are perfect for summer. Christian Louboutin took his inspiration for this collection from the scarab beetle from Egyptian iconography. The colors reflect in the sun, and look like jewels in the evening. Love that!

Voilet Blue from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee collection offers an exotic bluish-green hue with warm, golden undertones. The undertones reflect in the sun, and offer a golden-blue sheen which is unique, and ideal for a warm summer day. Love that!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Voilet Blue nail polish from the Scarabee collection with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish was very strong and lasted seven days before chipping. Now that I have a few Christian Louboutin nail polish bottles in my collection, I have become accustomed to the long wand applicator brush. Although it is not the easiest nail polish brush to work with, it does a great job applying an even coat of nail polish without creating a mess. Love that!

I am looking forward to testing out another color from Christian Louboutin’s Scarabee nail polish collection. The nail polish is limited edition, and with these fabulous colors, it will sell out fast! I have noticed Christian Louboutin’s nail polish has a good shelf life, and it can go months without being used and still be in perfect condition. This is key when in investing in designer nail polish. I feel good spending money on Christian Louboutin nail polish because I know it is long lasting on my nails, and on my shelf!

Now, I feel like I need a Cleopatra inspired ensemble to match my Christian Louboutin Scarabee Voilet Blue nail polish. After all, Ra has been blessing us with sun, so why not dress accordingly to celebrate! I might have to start with these shoes, and go from there 😉
