Sunday Inspiration...Long Sweaters

Happy Sunday, kittens! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I apologize for there being no post yesterday - things get so busy around here! Since it's the weekend though, the posts are short and sweet either way.

Long sweaters are a big trend that I've been seeing (and wearing) for fall. I absolutely love how cozy and snuggly they are - it's like wearing a blanket that is socially acceptable. I thought we'd look at some sweaters to inspire us for our own thrifting/shopping!

Thick and cable knit, woolen, buttons, pockets - all of that is up to your personal preference! That's what's so fun about long sweaters - you can have many in all different styles.

If you like any of the sweaters in the set, here's the link so that you can see prices/styles:

Enjoy your day <3

Fall 2014 Nail Inspiration...

Happy Tuesday, kittens! It's starting to get chilly around here - hard to believe that it's fall and the warm weather is going away for good :( As you know, I'm a bit of a nail polish addict. There's nothing that I love more for fall than... dark nail polish. SORRY ABOUT IT, PUMPKIN!

I thought I'd post some nail/color inspiration for us on these chilly days when the leaves are falling. I don't exactly have a steady hand when it comes to nail art, so anything that I share would be something that I find easy to do.

I love this! It's fairly simple, with a steady hand or with some tape. You can incorporate any combination of fall colors into it - or as many as you'd like!

Marble techniques are fairly doable(with some time and patience). You can see my old post about marbled nails - using plastic wrap to dab a new color on to your base shade. I think it's great and adds a lot of texture!

Okay, okay - it's a little cheesy..but you have to admit it's cute for Halloween! Also stripes are a very easy nail art technique. Similar with the first picture, you can do as many stripes as you want with unlimited colors. So ~trendy~

The top shades for fall nails seem to be either dark or neutral:

Oxblood/Burgundy

Chocolate Brown

Navy Blue

Dark Purple

Gunmetal Gray

Army Green

Light Pink

Nude

Candy Apple Red (the oddball out)

Here are some great magazine lists, if you'd like to see what the real trend polishes are:
