How to draw a heart on your nails

Quilted handbags have been around for quite awhile and are the perfect timeless style to include in your handbag collection. The beauty about quilted bags is that they can be worn with anything from an evening dress to a t-shirt and ripped jeans. Every designer has their own take on the quilted bag with Chanel being the most recognized. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock- you can’t get your hands on a Chanel bag for less than $1500 and that’s the LOW END. That brings me to the entire point of this post; Most people would love a Chanel bag yet most people could never afford one- and there aren’t too many great options for a well made quilted bag without going bankrupt in the process… UNTIL NOW- Rebecca Minkoff has outdone herself with the Quilted Love Bag!!! These bags are so well made and are priced at $295 for the standard size and $195 for the mini. Not exactly cheap but totally doable!!! They look and feel like a million bucks and are available in an array of colors and hardware options. I have one in the standard size. I love it and highly recommend it!
The Quilted Love bag can be worn with the chain long for cross body wear, with the chain doubled for shoulder wear or worn without the chain as a clutch! Who doesn’t love options??!!!! I also love how these bags have an outside pocket for phone or keys!
It’s almost time to break out the glitter!!!! Let’s get right to it- below are some of my favorite New Years Eve nails from Pinterest!
Phillip Lim’s Pashli bag has been a HUGE success among fashion bloggers and bag loving ladies for some time now and the mini version is just as popular. The original Pashli bag retails for upwards of $895 while the mini starts at $695 depending on what material you choose. When Lim collaborated with Target last year and designed a similar version of the coveted bag at a fraction of the price, fashionistas lined up to get their hands on the affordable version and it quickly sold out. Since then, there have been quite a few similar versions but I must say, this Forever 21 version made me look TWICE and it retails for less than $25!!!!! Check it out!
If you don’t have a plaid scarf in your wardrobe, you better get on it asap. The plaid scarf as well as the oversized blanket scarf version are EVERYWHERE right now! Thy can be thrown on with a t-shirt or worn over your sweaters and heavy coats. Any way you want to wear them, plaid scarves are a must during the cooler months ahead. Below are some of my favorites to shop.

Lace up caged heels hit the fashion scene with a BANG last year and the hype hasn’t fizzled out. The sexy style is hotter than ever and every designer has their interpretation of the heel. What I love most about caged heels is that they can be worn with anything from boyfriend jeans to LBDs! A while back, I found a tan pair that are super sexy but they hurt my feet after about 30 minutes( I still wear them of course) BUT I recently found a pair that ARE comfortable! They are available in black, white and blush- I opted for black. I realized that they are so comfortable because the sole is padded and there is a zipper at the heel of the shoe in addition to adjustable laces on the front! With all of this adjusting available, the comfort level is amazing! Yay for cute & comfy!
Shop all three colors below! Let’s be shoe twins!!!!!! The black is still full price $99 but I found the blush and white on sale!
Everyone who knows me, knows that I love a great stack of dainty rings! While I was at H&M this afternoon I noticed so many rings sets that were less than $10!!!! How great is that? Below are some of my favorites! Check out H&M online or your local store to see for yourself and get stackin’!!!!

Attention sparkle loving girly girls! I have recently discovered the cutest pen ever! And by cute I mean that it’s super sparkly without being tacky- yes there is such a thing. This pretty pen is made with 160 sparkly Swarovski crystals (the pictures don’t do it justice). The ink can be replaced when it runs out
and they come in a variety of colors and include a velvet storage pouch, making it a great gift idea. I chose the “pearl white” which is actually a silvery white color that’s quite pretty and the swarovski crystals inside are SUPER sparkly!!!! I love it! These pens are available at Swarovski locations or by clicking the links below.
There is also a cool set that includes one pen and one mechanical pencil. $80
