Just Jammin'

So a friend of mine invited me to an online Jamberry party. I had no idea I was getting sucked into a world of nail cuteness! I have extremely short nails (umm, maybe I'm a nail biter...) so I don't even bother to paint them anymore. But these nail wraps? Last way longer, and you can't even think about biting your nails with them on (could I finally be cured?!). With soo many prints & patterns to choose from, the possibilities are endless!

{Sorry, there's just no cute way of photographing your own hand, ha!} Mine lasted for about eight days before the tips started peeling. My friend said they last longer and are even cuter on toes. One thing I wasn't told ~ and it's probably not advertised ~ is that if you do have short nails, you can actually make your sheet of Jams go even further by cutting each row in half. Hard to picture but if you've worn them before then you probably know what I'm talking about. Just a way to get more bang for your buck!

And no, I wasn't given any incentive for this post ~ I paid for these myself and just love how polished it made me feel no matter what I was wearing!

WIWW... on Thursday?

Looks like another WIWW on Thursday. And, while I've accomplished a lot at work {Taryn, if you're reading this, you better not be giggling!}, I've completely slacked on everything else. Well, I did manage to take photos! The weather has been absolutely a-mazing lately, and soo cannot wait for true fuzzy sweater weather.

I will say that J and I have jumped back on the Dave Ramsey band-wagon {hello Baby Step 3!}, so I'll be reaching into the depths of my closet and using a little creativity to stretch what I have for awhile. Does that mean that all spending will cease? No, probably not. But the extra shirt and jewelry I pick up every time I'm at Target? Will be ogled at from a safe distance. I'll start marking any new items ~ it'll be interesting to see just how far I can stretch the old!

What I Wore Wednesdays

SO, guess I'm a day late for WIWW, but hey -- watching the Rangers get deflated by the Yankees yesterday sort of took priority. Anyhoo, what's the phrase I hear at work? A dollar waiting on a dime? Yeah, something like that...

Oh, and I will put this disclaimer out there -- wasn't feeling too great most of the week, hence the glasses and frumpiness. Feeling better now though, just in time for Friday! :)

What I Wore Wednesdays

Yep, WIWW is back! I'm sure you guys have been waiting in eager anticipation, biting your nails, hoping, wishing ... *insert laughter here* Well, maybe a couple of you have been curious, anyway. I'm loving the camera on my new phone, but still trying to figure out how to take pictures without them being too blurry or look completely crappy.

I actually took more photos, but accidentally deleted them off my phone when trying to email them to myself. Oops!

Another episode of WIWW, inspired by Lindsey @ The Pleated Poppy ~ I'm posting a little early as tomorrow is going to be a doozy.

Looking back at my outfits, you'd never think that temps were still in the 90s for the most part. Ohwell, I'm easily cold, especially indoors. I missed a couple of days ... though you aren't missing much. And, I'll give you one guess as to the load of laundry I did this week!

What I Wore Wednesdays

Another installment of WIWW and man, this last week was a complete doozy. I managed to take most of my pics, though I did miss a few days. And other days I wish I'd missed!

As one of my very observant readers pointed out last week, I do tend to wear my sunglasses a lot. I'm a late sleeper, so I avoid blow drying my hair like the plague on most days. So, I just swish back my wet hair with my sunglasses and let it air dry on the way to work. Complete cop out, I know!

tan ruffle sweater ~ Ann Taylor Outlet

tan pants ~ Banana Republic Outlet
