okay...

I am quasi-trendy.

I love fashion. I love styling. I love color.  I love being semi-daring with my clothing. I love my style. but I'm not breaking any rules and rocking the world with my choices.

I'm somewhere between mom jeans

and

supermodel

Aren't we all?

I'm not going to be on cutting edge of fashion; But I try to make myself feel pretty everyday. Sometimes I believe it, sometimes I fake it. :) 

Trends are fun to try and easy to adapt to your own personal style.

Even for the diaper bag haulin mommas.

I'm going to try and embrace some trends.  I'm going to try and make them work for my lifestyle.

Try them with me?

The first trend that I've been wanting to try is glittery nails. I love the sparkle. I'm really enjoying muted pastels and nude shades and was super excited to try this trend out. How FUN!!

I really liked the idea of doing glitter on only one nail on each hand. I feel like it's more of my style and a little fun and spunk among classic and pretty--like me. heee.

I followed this tutorial pretty much as written.

it's not perfect; but i'm hardly a perfectionist. and i. love. this.

Wearing this around the house for a few bit got me thinking about how my fun summer is almost FUN OVER. How could I adapt this to a more school/work appropriate shade?

I kept playing. Took a lot more pictures. Made some more fun combos using the aquamarine and gold glitter.
and then my kitchen started looking like a
Ke$ha music video.

I've only been glitterfied for an afternoon, but I'm loving this.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!!
Go **accidentally** buy some glitter and have fun!
