Nasty Gal

While being away at school in a college town, shopping can sometimes be limited. As a result, I end up doing the majority of my shopping either at home over breaks or online. One of my very favorite online retailers is Nasty Gal.

I'm currently eyeing lots of their new things for spring. These are some of my favorites!

Beach Club Blazer in Coral

Adonia Shorts

Scalloped Lace Dress (have this in black and love it!)

Tied Chiffon Blouse

Have any of you shopped at Nasty Gal before?

5 Things: Nail Polish

It's no secret that I love nail polish. One of my very favorite things is painting my nails weekly, as well as buying new colors and lusting over the latest lines from Essie and OPI. Although my collection is continuously growing, I have a few colors that are my very favorite and I keep going back to.

Essie: Marshmellow

Essie: Turquoise and Caicos

OPI: Midnight in Moscow

OPI: Vodka and Caviar

OPI: Jade is the New Black

What are your favorite nail polish colors?

Food for Thought.

Hi everyone!

I ran across this yesterday and thought I'd share - it's a great reminder of what really matters!

What's your favorite piece of advice that you've come across lately?

PS. Check out my tumblr!! :)

Preppy Technology

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Do you all have iPhones? I've had one for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it! However, i still haven't found a case that I love. I've had a Lilly one, a Kate Spade one, and a basic pink one from Target. Honestly, I'd have to say that the Target one has been the best - the Lilly case's print rubbed off, and the Kate Spade case stretched out. Needless to say, I'm in the market for a cute, new case!

And then I found the most amazing website: Lipstick Shades. To. Die. For.

Can I have one of each, please?! You can customize them all to your color, pattern and liking!
Andddd, if you don't currently sport an iPhone, they have cases for iPads, Blackberrys, laptops and more.

What kind of phone cover do you use?

5 Things.

Happy Friday!! Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, I have been super busy being on deadline for my internship!

5 Things That I'm Currently Loving:

Skinny Girl Margaritas
Yum! I treated myself to a bottle on Valentine's day (who says you can't still celebrate if you're single?) and it's seriously just so good. The last time I had it was this summer, but I think I'm going to have to start making it more of a regular thing! Who can resist low cal margaritas?!

Dayglow
I just bought my ticket today to go to Dayglow when they come to my college's city this spring!! It's the "world's largest paint party", including a live band and paint everywhere! At first I was a little skeptical, but I think it should be tons of fun - have any of you ever been or heard of it before?

These J.Crew Edition Sperrys
Pretty self explanatory. Can it please be spring!?!

Starbucks Valentine Cups
So cute, so fun, so festive!

Essie Nail Polish in Pastel Colors
Like I said before, can it please be spring?

What are you currently loving? I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and Mardi Gras!

Allie

P.S. I love you

I absolutely love the movie P.S. I Love You - I watched it on Sunday, actually! The link below is my favorite song from the movie. It also means a little something extra to me since I'll be studying abroad this summer in Dublin, Ireland :) I plan on going to where this scene was filmed while I'm there!!



Have any of you been to Ireland? It'll be my first time there (and in Europe!) so I am so, sooo excited!! Happy Wednesday :)

Think Pink

Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of this holiday, I thought I'd do a post on my favorite pink items right now!

J.Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Herringbone - $175
Seriously drooling over this blazer right now! Being on a college budget, though, has made me think twice about buying it.... but maybe one day soon! Purchase it here!

Old Navy Pink Jeans - $35
For $35, these jeans seriously are a steal... I tried them on in the store a few days ago and they were super similar to Urban Outfitter's colored jeans. Purchase them here!

Tory Burch Miller Sandal in Pink - $195
Love these! My best friend Meredith has them and lives in them - I have them in black and they have been one of the best investments I've made shoe-wise. Purchase them here!

Kate Spade Baublebox Bib Necklace - $278
I mean, a girl can dream... right? Purchase it here!

Essie Nailpolish in Status Symbol
Currently have this fun color on my toes! Such a great shade of pink. Purchase here!

Lululemon Practice Freely Tank - $58
Look cute while you work out! Purchase here.

What are your favorite things that come in pink? Have a great Valentine's day - whether you're in a relationship or single!

Dreaming of Sunshine...

Today I woke up to a pleasant surprise out my window -- snow!!

As much as I love snow, though, lately I've really been craving some warm weather. I would LOVE to go to a beach right about now! Here are some of my favorite pictures from pinterest of sunny days, wanderlust, and tropical places :)

Who wants to play hooky??
