Fashion Friday : Fabulous Fall Mani's

Happy Friday Friends!

I don't know about you, but I've been inspired by all of the fun diy manicures I've been seeing all over the web.  From elaborate designs to creative two toned concoctions - the options are endless.

Here are a few of my favorite recent finds...


{Above is the mani I did this week with Julep's Boris & nicole, and Gwyneth. Try the Julep Maven program for a penny using this link & promo "penny" - you'll get two polishes and an add on almost free!}



{I love the gold metallic!  So perfect for holidays!}

Have you ventured out into the world of wild mani's?  I would love to see your handiwork {pun totally intended...I couldn't help myself.}

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Midweek Favorites

It's been an extra hard week for Blakely, as you can see...

{Yesterday's nap on the couch}

{"Recovering" from our walk this morning - I got out of the shower to find this}

Life is just so exhausting, I had to share. :)

In between cleaning the apt, unpacking from this weekend's women's retreat and sorting through piles of laundry, I thought I'd share two irresistible deals I came across this morning.


Are you familiar with Julep??  If not, you need to be!  Jamie from FashionistaMusings recently landed a job at Julep {a nail boutique} and she's been telling me about their program called Julep Maven.  It's a subscription service that sends two of their unreleased polishes & an extra {think lotion, scrub, nail file, etc} to your door each month for a flat fee of $19/month {which is a great deal, considering a bottle of polish runs about $14 a pop}.  As a Maven, you'll also receive a 20% discount on your purchases, free shipping and a few other perks. Fast drying, long lasting, and toxin free - who wouldn't want to wear one of their many beautiful colors??  



So here's the deal - you can try your first Julep Maven box for a penny!  {Yes, I said a penny!}  Head to Julep Maven, take their style quiz and add your Maven Box to your cart.  At checkout enter promo code : PENNY {You must be a first time Maven}. How fun is that??  My style was "Classic with a Twist" {pictured above}.  I cannot wait to receive my box and give the polish a shot!  What's your style??



My absolute FAVORITE gadget these days is my CBTL Kaldi Espresso Maker.  I love this machine.  I actually won it {I know!  Me, win something?!?!  No way!} as a giveaway from Marla's blog FamilyFreshCooking. 

{A homemade Coconut Milk Chai Latte}

The CBTL Kaldi is a single serve coffee maker that makes brewed coffee, brewed tea, espresso and hot chocolate at the touch of a button.  Amazing right??  It truly does make the perfect cup of coffee every time I use it.  My girlfriend & barista, Lauren, showed me how to make all of my favorite drinks, so now I make delicious lattes and macchiatos in my own kitchen every morning!  {I'm sure you've seen my instagram and twitter accounts littered with photo upon photo of beautiful homemade drinks lately....this would be the reason.}

So why am I raving about this machine?  Because it was featured on the Today Show this morning and they're offering a killer discount on it!  Retailed at $314.39, the CBTL Kaldi could be yours for $99!  Head to this page - CBTL  and enter promo code TODAYCBTL to receive the discount.

I hope you're having a wonderful week!  Would love to hear if you are a Julep or CBTL fan.  Happy Wednesday!

Fashion Friday : Nautical Prints for Summer


Hi All!

Jamie here from FashionistaMusings with your dose of Friday Fashion.

With Memorial Day behind us and the weather warming up for summer, our wardrobes become lighter and more colorful. Breathable fabrics, such as linen and cotton, and light reflecting colors allow us to enjoy the ever-rising temperatures without sweltering. Nautical Prints are the perfect combination of backyard summer Bar-B-Q meets Yacht Club chic. Classic Navy and White horizontal stripes can be paired with a wide range of colors including Red, Grey and Brown.

This Theory Striped Maxi dress with chunky wood jewelry and leather wedges paired with minimal makeup can be worn to brunch, an afternoon picnic in the park or a stroll through town. 


Buy a Navy and White Striped Nautical Blouse and pair with pieces from your existing wardrobe for an instant summer update! White Jeans, a Red Skirt, Blue Jean Cut-Offs… the possibilities are endless.


{FIME}

Wedges are a summer wardrobe staple. Update your current shoe collection with a pair of nautical themed wedges (such as this pair from the Jessica Simpson Collection) for a water-ready look that is feminine and crisp.      


For those of you who desire to try the nautical look without jumping into the water head first, try a Sailor themed manicure. Start with Navy nailpolish. Add thin white stripes. Finish with a Red heart for the extra touch of sparkle.


Do you love nautical prints? If so, how are you incorporating them into your wardrobe?

Happy Weekend!

Jamie
