Caped For A Cause
As we’re all aware this month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but how many actually participate in supporting the cause? To be totally honest, unless I happen to buy something in the grocery store that has the pink ribbon on it (usually b/c I use that product anyway) I haven’t done my part.

Never again. So now that I am over being too good to do my own mani’s I’m having a BLAST playing with all of the options. Last week I played with SPARKLES and this week I mix it up.

All Aboard!
This past weekend I attended a fashion show presented by Helly Hanson where they showcased their winter line. Now that I’m living in the Northwest surrounded by mountains, I figured that I would need to add some of these items to my wardrobe. So they let me loose in their store where I set out to style some winter looks. My top choices were the pinks and teals they had… loved them!

A fall manicure might not be as bright as those of summer days past but they can be just as gorgeous and fun. This manicure was inspired by Emily of cupcakes and cashmere, she has an amazing way with creative mani’s.
