what's on my nails?

So I was checking in on my favorite blogs this afternoon and came across The Nail Files on O. Alouette.  I thought I'd check it out and see what it's about.  I decided to join The Nail Files and link up with Tara and Vicki for the first time. How FUN and ironic since I just purchased two new nail colors today.  I was anxious to try them out and this gave me the perfect excuse.  

Let me introduce to you Essence colour & go: a lovely secret (purple) and you belong to me (mint).

I must admit these were an impulse buy when I was picking something up at Ulta today.  These little polishes were only $0.99...what a steal.  Nail polish I think is always a risky purchase because I've found that even expensive ones don't look that great on.  Anyways, I give these two beautifully polished thumbs up!!  Plus they are small so you can try out several colors without feeling guilty about spending a forturne.  

I always seem to be adding to my nail polish collection and with new colors all over the place it's hard to resist.  I purchased two other polishes a few weeks ago and must share because I'm loving them.  I splurged on these two L'Oreal polishes (I did have a coupon though!!!): tangerine crush and walk on the beach.  I was sporting the coral color today, but replaced it with the new mint.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently got a pair of coral Gap shorts which I wore today and I think the coral and mint polish compliment each other quite nicely.  I'm loving these two color combinations; I might try to find some cute mint accessories.  Check out how cute...

I'm so happy it's the weekend and the weather is going to be in the 80's!  I'm so excited to spend Saturday with Mr.H.  Maybe I can talk him into doing something fun outside to soak up this nice sunny weather while it's here!  

Happy weekend FRIENDS!

which color?

It's officially SPRING!!  I love this time of year...the weather is beautiful, flowers are blooming, and it's time to pack up your winter wardrobe and break out your spring clothes.  Or in my case (maybe yours too) it's time to start shopping!!

If you've been online or shopping (in any store) recently you know that colored pants and shorts are all the rage this season.  I, myself, am totally giddy.  I love to find ways to spice up my boring wardrobe and I think a pair of these will boost my drab wardrobe quite nicely.

I must admit that several years ago I owned a pair of red jeans.  Notice the past tense.  I realized that they were quite bold and I don't even like the color read.  Hello!  What was I thinking!?!?!  Now that these new pastel pants are sprouting up all over the place, I remember when I owned a pair of turquoise Gap capris.  When I first started dating Mr.H I was going to wear them one outing and he totally looked at me like I was crazy and insisted I not wear them.  I took his advise...another What was I thinking (moment)!?!?!  I should have at least stored them away for later date.  Here we are almost two years later and they are all the rage!

Anyways, I recently bough a pair of coral shorts from Gap (Gap outlet actually!!...Hello savings!) and am looking at buying a pair of colored jeans.  I would like to get two, but I'm pretty sure this is a fad, plus they are bold so I'd like to stick with one for now.  What I'm trying to figure out now is what color I want?  I'm inclined to get a pair of coral jeans or capris, but part of me is leaning towards the mint color.  I need to hurry up and decide because they are selling out all over the place (unfortunately my size is popular...uggg!).

I love the concept of having a bold pant and a more neutral or basic top.  It's the reverse of what I normally do.  Oh how I love fashion!!!

I'll keep you posted once I make my decision.  What are your thoughts on colored jeans/pants/short???
