The Toes Know

People are either repulsed by or like the look of toes and feet.  I'm a person who likes feet.  Who doesn't want a nice pedicure, or to have soft feet?  I have tattoos on my feet, but I also have toe rings.  My mom has always had toe rings since I was a kid.  Pretty much all the women in my family have one or more, and we don't take them off during the winter.  It's a year round addiction lol.  I always buy 14k gold so they don't tarnish or fade.  There are so many cute designs out there to choose from, even if you only wear them for the summer.  I think it's well worth it to invest in a sterling silver or 14k gold version, but there are several to choose from.  Mix and match them and have some fun.  Want some of your own?  Head over to Fresh Trends and load up! Here's a photo of my current selection:

In or Out? Nose Piercings

It's been about 10 years since I had my nose pierced.  I only kept mine in for a bit, and of course got it pierced over the summer, when you get bored and decide to do something fun.  I love the look of a simple stud in the nose.  I've heard mixed reactions from friends and family, some love it, some hate it.  So, my question is, do you have a nose piercing, or are you thinking about getting one?  If you do have one or are about to get one, you should know there are several types of jewelry to choose from.  When I got mine, I wanted 14k gold to avoid irritation.  If you have no idea what type of jewelry you want or how to begin, I've come across a few sites with great resources to guide you!  Get started with your body jewelry purchase at Fresh Trends.  Here are a few of my favorite nose ring looks.  Have a great day!!!

Make The Jump

Happy Sunday Funday!  What do you all have planned today?  I'm going to spend a little time by the pool with some Malibu and diet, then a concert in the park later!  This summer is all about spontaneity and opportunity.

One of the summer trends this year is the jumpsuit.  It's easy to throw on, make a statement, and keep you cool when the temp heats up.  Do you own any or would you wear one?

Summer Style: Eyelet

Last year about this time I blogged about eyelet.  This year, I'm still loving it.  I'm even wearing it to a wedding this week.  It's so summery and light.  It always looks pretty and stylish.  Here are a few of my favorite pieces this month.

Let The Sun Shine In

I've mentioned bronzers, sandals, and tans the past few days.  Now it's time for some fabulous sunnies. I'm on the constant lookout for some adorable sunnies to protect my eyes, while at the same time looking fabulous.  Right now I'm dying over a Gucci pair.  

It's rare to catch me without sunnies anytime it's not raining.  I'm a bit obsessive about avoiding eye wrinkles, and what better way than with a gorgeous pair of shades?  Whether you have a round, square, or even heart-shaped face, there are so many shapes and colors to choose from this year.

This year, the trends are showing that tortoise is the most popular color.  Black and deep purple are coming in a close second.  The most important thing when you choose a pair is to make sure you have enough coverage, to protect your eyes, and that the frames fit your face.  If you're looking for a place to start, check out Optical Express for some great choices.  Visit them here.

Fashion Friday Summer Scallops

It's Fashion Friday again!  I'm so excited because this week has been my first real week of vacation.  I'm loving catching up on all of your blogs and can't wait to see what you share for Fashion Friday!  There are so many fabulous trends out there for summer, and one I'm loving is scallops.  A scalloped edge on anything makes the piece look feminine and edgy at the same time.  Scallops are being used on everything from shoes to bathing suits!  Check out these gorgeous finds.

Fashion Friday White Pants

It's Fashion Friday!  I hope you can link up with me.  This week I'm obsessing over white skinny jeans.  They are IMPOSSIBLE to find this year for some reason.  Every store is sold out.  I guess in the past I've purchased them a lot earlier?  I don't know what the deal is, but if you find a pair, grab them quickly!  

I love white pants for summer.  They can be crops or full length pants, slouchy, or skinny.  They go with everything, look fabulous with a tan, and are perfect for a summer date.  Here are some of my favorite looks:

And of course Jackie O.
