Sheerly Fab

Olivaceous Sheer Single Pocket Blouse in Green Teal
 Hudson Collin Skinny in Rebel
 Free People Pieced Lace Cropped Bralette

One of the perks of flying back home to Minnesota is I get to spend some quality time at Covered Boutique.  I helped the owner open her first store in 2006 when I was just starting college.When I am home visiting, the ladies there let me hang out at the store and sometimes even use me for their online website. Nothing is better than surrounding myself with sick clothes and amazing chicks. Shop these goods and many others at www.shopcovered.com.

Santa Baby


Just in case I get a little peek of Santa this Christmas Eve my nails will be ready for him..not like he would really care but whatevs. I look forward to my weekly changing of my nails. I am not very skilled so I usually  paint the entire finger and scrub the rest off in the shower. My left hand always turns out better than the right. Get this look with OPI's Kennebunk-Port & Sephora by OPI Only Gold for Me.

Stocking Stuffers @ Stephanies



Last week was very exciting for the alexa collection. Several of my pieces found a new temporary home (because you guys are going to swoop them up and take them home) at Stephanie's Shop. If you are looking for the perfect stocking stuffer, & happen to live in MN, head over to Stephanie's Shop in St.Paul.  All of my pieces are handmade and recreated from vintage jewelry.  Stephanie's also carries clothing, handbags, and accessories so you are bound to fall in love with more than the alexa collection.

Must Have Mondays




This week there is only one thing on the must have list and that is Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Body Lotion. I have been using this product for over two years now. I don't use it on my entire body rather just my face and neck. It is not too heavy, greasy, or brown tinted. After wearing it daily for a couple weeks you will notice a nice tint and glow to your skin! I have super sensitive skin and my face loves this stuff, seriously.

Unwrap Me...


 You can't actually unwrap my fingernail but man it looks cute with the stripe of "red ribbon" across Essie playa del platinum grey. A little bit of fun and unexpectedness during this Christmas season! I should mention I got the straight edge with the help of scotch tape. I highly recommend waiting until your base coat is for sure dry. Otherwise you will be touching it up after the glitter free hand.
