Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween, everyone!! I am spending the day/night doing some work, and munching on these:

I have to admit, I kind of dropped the ball this year for Halloween activities. Rob and I tried to find a haunted house to go to for tonight, but they all closed last weekend :(

Anyway, here is a flashback of one of my earliest Halloweens!!

LOL! I am dressed up as a doll. My brother is dressed up as a fire truck, and does not look happy about it! I'm not sure what my other brother is supposed to be here.

Here is another flashback from my freshman year of college:

Dressed up as a bumblebee with my roomie! I'm not sure she is going to be happy that I am sharing this picture :D

That's all for today!! Hope everyone is having a great Halloween!

A Touch of Lux

I have to admit, I am loving my nails this week. I just bought Essie Lux Effects "A Cut Above," and I combined that with Essie "French Affair."

Here is how it came out:

I had to apply 3 coats of "A Cut Above" to get it thicker, but the polish spread really easily. I also applied a top coat to make sure that it smoothed over the glitter, so it didn't feel bumpy.
                                                   

                                 What do you guys think?

Rent the Runway: Our Runway

Have you guys heard of Rent The Runway? I haven't had a chance to use this site yet, but the next time I need a dress, I am definitely trying this out. Basically, you can rent a designer dress and then return it after wearing it.

My absolute favorite thing about this site is that they have a new section called "Our Runway." This is where you can scroll through pictures of regular people (not just models!) who have rented a dress, so you can have an idea of how it looks on. You can narrow it down by your age, bust, and usual size. So cool! I have literally been scrolling through pictures all day and daydreaming about wearing these dresses.

Luckily, there are a ton of opportunities coming up! Two of my best girlfriends are getting married in 2013. Not to mention, my own wedding! I have my eye on two dresses that would be perfect for a bachelorette party ;)

Here is a link to the regular Rent The Runway site: Rent The Runway

Here is a link directly to the "Our Runway" page: Our Runway

Has anyone used Rent The Runway??

A mix of things

First, sorry for missing Friday's post! It was my mom's birthday, and I was busy shopping my little heart out :)

Note the coffee! Haha, I was on a mission!

I bought her this top from Loft:

Loft Brushed Feather Tie Front Blouse for $59.50 (40% off today!). blouse 

I love this top so much that I may go back and get this for myself! I would wear this belted at the waist with jeans and pumps or boots. It would also look cute with black skinnies and pumps. 

She also got this:

Loft Optic Dot Print top for $59.50 (also, 40% off today!). top 

This would look so cute with a statement necklace and/or belted at the waist. 

Second, I wanted to share a hairstyle that's so easy for a busy day. I have been studying and doing school work all day, and this hairstyle is perfect. It's sort of an inside out ponytail:

Just tie your hair into a low ponytail, separate your hair inside the ponytail into 2 sections to make a hole, and then pull the ponytail up and through the hole.

Last, has anyone else been listening to Taylor Swift's new album, Red? OMG, I am obsessed! 

Have a good Monday!
