Have you heard of Priti NYC Polish? I hadn't before, that is until I found their website and decided that their polishes sounded amazing with such a plethora of colors to choose from. Everyone always says you need to be somber in the winter, but I say it's a great chance to try new colors, just in darker hues. I don't really think neons are appropriate for winter, but how about colors with gray undertones or darker varieties? I especially liked the colors Dracula Orchid (dark gray), Geisha Girl (purple pictured above) and rabbit tracks which is teel with gray undertones. They are all gorgeous colors, but appropriate for the Winter season. Here's some information about Priti NYC:
“Priti NYC polishes are all completely non-toxic and made without toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DHB) and formaldehyde- all known carcinogenic ingredients. The luxury polishes are fast drying, chip resistant, contain a UV inhibitor, and are extremely durable and glossy. They are also completely safe for use on children and moms-to-be.”

Ten Tips for Being Fashionable on a Budget

This is a very inspirational book, where the author describes in parallel his own story and the incredible story of three Mexican fishermen who were lost at sea for almost 10 months before being rescued. The author struggled with substance abuse, fame, and fortune.This books is the author's attempts to tie in the fisherman, his mental illness, his marriage, and his career into one book. It is an encouraging tale of losing one's self in order to find the truth in life. I didn’t care about Joe. He tries to weave his story of being rich, feeling lost, finding God, coming to faith and finding his real home with the fishermen getting lost, finding God, coming to faith, and coming home. It didn’t work for me. I wanted more information about the fishermen – Did they really find God? Etc. I would give this book 2.5 out of 5 stars. Copy provided by Blogging for Books
Fasion is a general term for a currently popular style or practice, especially in clothing, and it seems to change by the day. One day it's flats and fur, another it's heels and leather.
Fashion is really whatever the people who matter say it is. If Gucci says fashion is fishnet stockings, then that is what people view as fashionable. If Prada says fashion is lace up boots, then that will be all the rage for the next few months.
Fashion can change like the wind, so I think that it's still important to keep a sense of self with shopping and when dressing. If we all wanted to look alike, we would all wear uniforms . . . and where would the fun be in that?
Here are some tips for adding runway looks to your wardrobe:
1. Classic Coat - this is something that all runway looks seem to have. Generally people use nuetral tones or a pop of color - it's up to you!
2. Black Skirt - This is a must for every wardrobe. It can go classy, young and hip or professional. It's something that fashionists insist that every girl owns.
3. Black Dress - I don't know how many times my husband has asked me to get a black dress, but I'm such a "color" girl I never got around to it, but this really is a classy fashionable piece to own in your wardrobe.
4. White Blouse - For evening, add a pair of dress pants or skirt, and for work add a blazer or cardigan. It's very versatile, and is fashion meets the average joe.
5. Narrow Belt - Use it over coats and jackets and to belt-up cardigans and sweater dresses.
6. Scarf - This is a way to add color and pizzaz to an outfit. It can be added to turtleneck sweaters, tank tops or even blouses. Dress it up or dress it down with a scarf.
7. Pearls - I think that pearls have made a come back, and are not a fashion neccessity. They used to look old, but not look classic and classy.
8. Chunky Knits - These are very popular right now - cable knit sweaters or grandpa sweaters. My husband has been wanting one . . . I may have to break down and buy it for him for Christmas.
9. Military - This is a big thing right now. I love the gold button detailing on military jackets or even military/cargo pants. They are very edgy but also practical with all their pockets.
10. Try Jewel Tones - these are my absolute favorites. I love ruby reds, emerald greens, amethysy purple. These are the colors that really pop and grab your attention.
