The Year Round Blazer: White
13 AugLooking for a trans-seasonal blazer that will complete any look? Look no further, a crisp white blazer will be there for you when you’re in fashion need and can be dressed up or down. White blazers are just as much a wardrobe essential as are black blazers and can be worn over dresses, with shorts, with jeans(wide leg or skinny) or anything really. With Fall just around the corner, there is no need to put away your white blazer, this is a great piece that carries over into Winter and beyond. I know we’ve all heard the saying…. but, no white after Labor day is an outdated fashion rule that’s not only been broken on countless runways in the last decade, but has practically been re written; hello! Winter white. It is A-okay to wear white after labor day!!!!!!
Below are some great ways to rock a white blazer anytime of the year.

How to make a heart on your nails in a few easy steps
14 JulI am so in love with all the latest nail art I have come across, it’s such a sensation across beauty blogs and all over the web. I have always done polka dots and have mastered the easiest way to do so. I am not artsy at all, so getting perfect polka dots every time is an amazing feat. I used to use a toothpick until I discovered my favorite polka dot making tool at a craft store years ago and I still use the same tool now. The tool is known in the scrapbooking world as a stylus or embossing tool and they’re very reasonably priced, $2-$4 at Michaels, Jo-ann or any craft store. I prefer the dual tipped kind, so I can choose the size of my polka dots. This whole polka dot obsession has led me to include heart designs in my nail art. I came across a tutorial a few months ago that showed how to create a heart by connecting 3 dots. you’ll see just how simple it is in the pictures below
Stylus tool $2.10 at stuff4scrapbooking.
Heart in a few easy steps.
1. start with one dot
2. make another dot directly beside it
3.make a third dot under the first two, directly in the middle, this will be the bottom of your heart.
4 connect the three dots into a heart shape.
5. give your design plenty of time to dry before applying your topcoat.
My tool
I prefer to put a small amount of polish onto a post it and dip my tool into that instead of into the bottle.
My latest heart nail art. Mint polish topped with a cherry red heart!
