Autumn Series ~ Nailed it

This beautiful Hampton Peach is the last color I put on my nails.

(left to right: Manhattan, Tribeca Silver, and Angora Cardi)

And these are the polishes I plan to use on Saturday. I'm putting Manhattan on my toes, and Angora Cardi on my fingers, with Tribeca Silver as my accent nail on my ring finger. The skirt I'm wearing Sunday is very close to the Manhattan color, and I'm wearing my black bow heels and a black lace shirt with it.

I didn't feel like it was time to pull out my pumpkin orange or my beautiful new crimson polish, so these colors seemed like good transitional colors.

Here's a few I've really been liking on Pinterest.

The nail art is so adorable, but I'm nowhere near that talented. I've really been enjoying watching football games this year with friends, so I liked the football nails. :) I love the matte look, and I really hope I can get some Matte finisher polish in the near future, but they all seem so expensive.

What colors are you looking forward to this Autumn? 

Autumn series ~ Don't mess with the dress

I've been doing a lot of planning and searching for this year's Autumn looks, so I thought I'd share some of it with ya'll. :) I have so much to talk about, that I'm splitting it up into four parts: outfits, nail polish, makeup, and hair.  This post will probably be the longest of the four. ;) 

1. The Fall maxi 

I adore my maxis all year around. They can be cool and flowy in the spring and summer, and with tights underneath and scarves and jackets they can be warm enough in fall and winter. I could go on and on with these examples, but we don't have enough time for them all. :) 

2. Fun tights 

(I know these are pants, but they'd be cute tights.) 

 I'd really like to get more of a variety of tights this year in fun colors and patterns. It's something new for me, and I think it would be a nice challenge for myself. :) 

3. sweaters and cardigans

I'd really like to get some cute sweaters and cardigans this year, especially a colorful Aztec cardigan. I've liked the Aztec print for a while now, and I think it looks really cute on those flowy cardigans. :) 

4. ivory sweater

Last year my goal was a black turtleneck, and I found it. Just like I thought, it's been a wonderful staple piece in my wardrobe that will be useful for (hopefully) years to come. 

This year, I'd love to find an ivory sweater, preferably in the first or third picture's style, but I like the second picture also. 

5. ankle boots

I didn't think I'd like these at first, but the other day I tried some on at Target, and was surprised at how much I liked them! So if I can find some for a good price, I might be getting some. I still can't decide if I like the tan or black better.

So what styles are you looking forward to this Autumn?
