Happy Saturday! Today is going to be such a busy day for Hubs and I. First, he wants to go to the Fiat dealership to see if he can trade in his 500 for a black automatic.. Or see when the Abarth comes out. Right now he has a gray manual, which he is getting really tired of driving. After that we are off to the in-laws to get the Mariner all cleaned up and ready to sell. Then I get to study for the rest of the day as I have 2 exams on Tuesday. What fun. Hopefully I can get a lot reviewed tonight so that I can relax a little tomorrow. :)

Decided to stock up on Christmas candles from Bath & Body Works. Can't wait to burn these, they smell YUMMM.


Recent OPI purchases. Suzi takes the wheel, uh oh roll down the window, warm and fozzie, and rally pretty pink.

Got all of these China Glaze on sale for 3.99 at Ulta! Super shimmery and way prettier in person. Ahoy, light house, and white cap.

This is Essie A-list. Gorgeous red, but a little patchy and had to use 3 coats.

My baby boy. Why do kitties ALWAYS look so perfectly snuggled when they sleep? I want to squeeze him! <3

Five Things Friday

My angel child, Philbert, has the best kitty profile! He thinks he owns our bed. This is where he spends most of his time either snoozing or looking out the window. I have to take a lint roller to my {white} duvet cover daily. I can always tell where he had been laying, lol.


My favorite wedding picture in my favorite frame. I looooove it. I bought it on sale from Macy's.


I bought these peegee {?} hydrangeas from farmers market literally weeks ago. They dried up so pretty that I decided to cut them short and put them in a smaller vase. I know they are dead, but I thought it would look weird with no water.


My new iPhone case came in the mail the other day. I love it! Although, I feel like it would look better on a black one instead {I have white}.


As much as I love dark nail polish this time of year, I was craving something feminine. I opted for a color I hadn't used yet, Opi's Passion. It did not disappoint. :)


Happy weekend! :D

My Private Jet

I swear I am going to post more often! I don't know what my deal is but I have been so forgetful lately. Anyway.. Going to keep this one short and sweet as I need to get back to studying for my exam tomorrow (yuck!).

This is Opi's My Private Jet. I have a funny feeling that I might have already done a post about this one but I am feeling too lazy to look, lol. So whatever, it's a great color and I love to wear it. It's like a sparkly brown. :)

Farmers Market Hydrangeas. Flowers make me so happy! :)

Opi's Mad as a Hatter

I was never really a fan of glitter polishes (or glitter anything actually..) until I bought Opi's MAAH from the Alice in Wonderland collection. This really is a beautiful polish. It is SOOOOOO sparkly! These pictures don't really do it justice. Much more gorgeous in person. I used 2 coats and it covered well. Formula seems to get goop-y quick though.. But maybe that is normal for glitter polishes. :)


The next 2 pictures were taken with a flash.

Opi Russian Navy

I have accumulated quite a stash of nail polish.. And many of them I still have not tried. So I decided that before I buy anymore, I am going to try out what I already have first. This isn't going to be easy as there are so many great new colors that have recently come out!

So here is OPI's Russian Navy. What a pretty color! I'm not sure why I haven't worn it until now. Definitely a great shade for fall. {Yes, I feel as though I can only wear dark colors in the fall and winter months.. Stupid, I know.}






Here is my last purchase... Opi Fiercely Fiona {yay, on sale}, and Zoya Jana.

Wedding Countdown: 3 Days!

I can't believe my wedding is this Saturday! Wow. I am really excited, but starting to get a little nervous. I went to my final dress fitting yesterday, and it fit, thank God. That was my fourth time going in and it just wasn't right until yesterday. My shoes and clutch came in the mail a couple days ago. I was a little worried that the color wouldn't match up right, but they will look good. The clutch is slightly brighter than my shoes, but I really doubt it will be that noticeable.

Clutch: Nordstrom

Shoes: DSW

Wedding day nails: Opi's Who needs a prince?

Oh yeah. Our first dinner together at the new place. Lol. We pick up our kitchen table tomorrow! Whole foods rotisserie chicken is yummmm.

Last night out as a single girl!

I have been so busy lately (& sick!) that I have been neglecting my blog. Hopefully I can go back to my normal posting habits pretty soon here. We start to move into our apartment on Monday, August 1st, and then the wedding is that Saturday. I can't believe how fast time has gone by! I am so excited and anxious to get into our new place and decorate. Last Friday I went out with my FSIL and my best friend to celebrate. It was the perfect low-key night. We went to get manicures and pedicures, then went out to this great new restaurant called Zazios for dinner and drinks. It was a great night! :)

Lobster Ravioli was so good!

Cosmo

Bellini Martini. Delish.

OPI's Strawberry Margarita for my manicure! I love this color!

Recent Purchases & Vacation Pics!

We had a great time up north! Shopping, eating, and hanging out at the beach with the family. Couldn't ask for more than that. :)

Tom's Mom's Cookies in Harbor Springs is delish.

My new favorite summer drink. SO good!!

Our favorite place to shop in downtown Petoskey.

We discovered this great restaurant at the edge of town called Palette Bistro. We had a table with a great view too! Definitely will go back.

View from our table

Can't wait to go back in August!

This week has actually been pretty busy.. I guess that is why I haven't posted in a while! Yesterday I took my Grandma to get her hair done as she isn't driving so much anymore (my mom, her, and I all go to the same salon), then I met up with my FSIL and her mom to get some sushi. We did a little shopping after that and then I met up with my mom at Saks to help her find shoes and a dress for my shower. I was able to find some shoes too for my dress. Soooo excited for my shower tomorrow! The time has gone by so fast, I can't believe it's already here!

Purchases:
Love & Toast Pomme Poivre Handcream. So amazing and no yucky chemicals. I really like this brand!

Essie's Ballet Slippers (wearing for my shower tomorrow) and OPI's Sparkle Teal Sunrise

New wedges for shower! :D LOVE these!! So comfortable too.

La Paz-itively Pink

Over the weekend I wanted something fun and girly to wear, so I decided to give OPI's 'La Paz-itively Hot' a try since I haven't worn a pink polish in a long time. I expected it to be a bit more bright, which it is in some light, but it has some blue undertones in it. I only did 2 coats, and I am thinking it might of needed 3. Overall- not one of my favorites {I'm more of a red kind of girl}, but still very pretty and I would definitely wear it again. :]







My Precious Angel Face Philbert <3

Life is Good.

Yesterday was mine and Fiance's 5 year anniversary. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We grilled some dinner and had a lazy night together. It was pretty wonderful. :o)

Last weekend I went shopping with my future SIL and got my shower dress. I LOVE it! I got it from jcrew, on sale! It is exactly what I had in mind for my tea party bridal shower. I can't wait to wear it. Now I just need to find some shoes to go with. Thinking white or silver..




I am thinking this for wedding hair {minus bangs}:


Found image here


Fiance and I went to the local pet store to get our little boy some litter. We almost took all 3 of these kitties home! But I don't think Philbert would be too thrilled to have 3 little sisters. Oh, kittens.. Who doesn't love them, really?!!




.. and I found this little guy sleeping! Haha :)




Got these little beauties in the mail a few days ago.. I can't wait to try them.



From L to R:
OPI Midnight in Moscow
Essie Fifth Avenue
OPI La Paz-itively Hot
China Glaze Broken Hearted Crackle
China Glaze For Audrey

Happy Weekend!

Happy Day :D

So this morning I was leaving the salon after getting my hair done.. and Fiance called to tell me that he had been hired direct at Chrysler!! {He is/was a contract employee} YAY!! Literally the best thing that could have happened for us. This means more job security and better benefits {oh, and a raise :D}. Couldn't ask for more. We are truly BLESSED! I am so proud of him.

... And in other exciting news- I got my first Birchbox today! I love this, seriously. What a great idea. Only $10 bucks a month and it came with a full sized product that retails for about $30! Normally these come in the mail around the 10th of every month, but I signed up late so got it late. I wasn't even expecting to get the June box. :)






How gorg is that blush?? :) And it is FULL size!

In every Birchbox a card is included describing all of the items:
Kate Spade Twirl
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion {Can't wait to try this. Not even in stores yet!}
Laura Geller Baked Blush n' Brighten
Xen- Tan Deep Bronze Luxe {Tinted self tanner}
Herban Essentials Orange Towelettes

...I thought I'd throw in a NOTD in here, too. :)
