“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances....”

— As You Like it, Act II, iv

Tis the season to be shiny!! To be fair, any season is shiny season for me. I happen to agree that all the world is my stage (and yours too), and I am the protagonist of my story. J. Cole also paraphrased this same sentiment…”This is my canvas….Ima paint it how I want it..”

This fabulous skirt is from Vivetta. I paired it with a Karl Lagerfeld T-shirt which dresses “down” the dressiness of the skirt. This type of juxtaposition is something I love to play with. My Gucci fanny pack (whoever thought you’d live to see the fanny pack make a comeback!) ties everything together.

Don’t be shocked if you ever run into me at the local grocery store dressed in this shiny sequin skirt and some fab gym shoes…because I never “save my best” for a special day. To me, everyday is a special day…and I dress accordingly!

GO AHEAD AND PIN ME! :-)

Thank you for stopping by! Let me know how you shine! XOXO

ODE TO MY NAILS

My nail broke, and one is lifting, oh damn!

It's an emergency, I cannot wait.

Off I go, got some designs from the Gram.

Swarovskis, oh yes! And I have my date.

They are so colorful and whimsical,

Little works of art on each single nail.

But being happy looking at each one

Is why I love them…..to me.....beautiful.

My nail tech? Dope as hell!

(Peep my iambic pentameter, son.)

I absolutely LOVE getting my nails done! To me, they are simply another kind of accessory. My nail art is definitely a bit extra, but that's just me. Every time I get them done, the designs are totally different, however, there is a strict pattern I adhere to. Believe it or not, there is a method to my madness! LOL! (Maybe I'll write another blog post on that!)

The point of this blog post is just to say, don't overlook the importance of your nails and how they can really pull your look and style together, and give you that polished look you're after, no matter what your style is. It makes no difference if your nails are long, short, full of designs or plain, don't neglect them….show them some love, too!

Thank you for stopping by! XOXO

Sequins here, sequins there, sequins everywhere!
