Pure Ice Honey Do


I picked this brand Pure Ice at Walmart and this color Honey Do caught my attention! it was such a sweet and pretty Honeysuckle color and I couldn't resist buying it because it was only around $3!

I was really excited to paint my nails with this color and it came out looking good! The color was perfect , and just what I had wanted. Sadly with in a day the nail polish chipped easily and I had to repaint them. This is a good color and nail polish but it chips really easily but it was worth it for the price that I paid. i would recommend this for the color only and if your the type of person who has the time to make little touch ups! If you hate when your nails chip then this is not for you.

I would love to hear if you have tried this brand and if you like it! Because I am moving to a apartment and I was thinking maybe it chipped because of all the things I was handling. Also if you have any cute room themes please let me know because i am going to be redecorating my room!

Anchors Away, China Glaze Collection

Not only is Nautical a theme for clothes this season its also being used to inspire nail polish colors. China Glaze came out with their Anchors Away nail polish collection which is 12 colors inspired by sailors and the sea:) I am really loving these colors for spring!
Out of the collection I have four favorites which I will do reviews on if requested. First mate which is the navy blue color, Hey Sailor which is a pinkish redish color, Starboard which is a medium green color and Below deck which is a purple mauve color. I am considering getting one more because I love the collection soo much! I am stuck between three colors and I will leave it up to you guys what color I should get between Pelican Gray, Sea Spray and Sunset Sail? Leave your comments below!

Spring Trend: Bangles

This season must have arm candy is bangles! Especially the big bulky bangles in array  of colors that go from nudes to bright bold colors! This spring bangles are becoming a statement piece so, you can wear a simple outfit this dress it up with some chunky bangles to give outfit a little dazzle! Don't worry though you don't have to get rid of your thin bangles you can mix them with your chunky bangles to make the perfect look. Also bangles also work to add a pop of color to a neutral look.

Of course when I went shopping and did some online shopping I had to pick up a few bangles to add to my collection! So, the first two are ones that I got and the others are ones that I found to be really cute but just didn't get!
$18 Lulus.com
Because I don't really wear super bright colors other than a bright yellow or green I didn't want to get a lot of bright colored bangles even though that is a trend this spring. I found these and thought that this was a perfect compromise. These bangles have pretty light colors that will add a color pop to an outfit but a more soft elegant look.

$17.00 Lulus.com
I love these gold and ivory bangles because they use a few chunky bangles with the thin ones for a nice classy look or a everyday look.
$32 Zappos.com
This red Marc Jacobs bangle would make the perfect color pop to an outfit and also can be paired with other bangles

 Dasha Print Bangle $45 Coast-stores.com
Forever 21 $5.80
Forever 21 $6.80 

Here are just some bangles that I thought were some good finds or were really cute! Make sure that you keep your eye out for some good bangles to wear this season! Send me the the links to some of your favorite bangles or ones that are really cute and take a look at my poll!

Spring Trend: Nautical Chic

 This spring season bring back one of my all time favorite styles Nautical! Nautical Chic is all about Stripes and rope drawstrings a little bit netting and add some ruffles! The colors are all dark navy blues, whites, reds, blacks, grays, gold and brass. A great way to wear this look is to mix and match stripes  with plain colors or to just simply use the colors and add a anchor necklace for that Nautical Chic look.


$29.99 Charlotte Russe
I just ordered this! I think I might add a red or white belt to it! What do you think?




$24.50 Charlotte Russe
Love this bag and since the Lady Bag is back in style I just had to have it. Plus it a great price!
Even though this black and white you can still make it very navy looking. By adding anchor earrings or Red or Blue wedges is what I am going to try or even switching the belt!

Forever 21 $24.80
Ok, so this one isn't very nautical but it had that sea enchanting maiden look so I had to have it:p if you have any ideas on how I should wear it let me know:)

Forever 21 $19.80
I didn't get this one but it is very cute!
Betsey Johnson $45.50
I was so glad I got this for my Birthday from my Best friend who knows how much I love all things Nautical !!

My last favorite Nautical Chic is this American Eagle Anchor Ring for $12

Clean and Clear Morning Burst Scrub

 I know this product has been out for a while but I just got into it and I think it is really really wonderful! I like to use this on days when I am just going to be staying in and not going anywhere like a sundays which I dedicate to school work. The first time I used this I really did not expect much from it. I don't know why but I thought that it was just like  an ordinary skin cleanser. But it totally blew me away with the quality of the product! First the scent totally does wake you up and not in a harsh bad way but in a good way it smells like citrus. The the scrub is very gentle for the morning that it does not irritate your skin.

The best thing about this product is the final finish! My face felt so soft and smooth after using this I was so amazed . I don't know what this really does for acne and breakouts but it does leave your face feeling fresh and awakened. I would really recommend this product if you love the feeling of a fresh face!
What are your clean and clear favorites?
