your glitter is banging

Before I get into the details of my travels {there will be a lot of details next week} I wanted to share something that I so missed while away... glitter! I know, right? Like really? but yes, really. And also being able to make hair changes on a whim and take gratuitous pictures of myself so I painted my nails with glitter and dots, cut my bangs and did some pink ombre tips. I just love it all!

 Perfect Sunday if you ask me.

“Personality is the glitter 

that sends your little gleam across the footlights 

and the orchestra pit into that 

big black space where the audience is.”

vampire red and sparkle

With thoughts of Twilight in my head, last night I did my nails again… the only thing missing is a little glitter but I wanted to keep it to the sheer, sparkly pink and vampire red colors and I don’t have glitter in either of those. Maybe it’s time to go nail shopping again! And guess what tonight is!! Breaking Dawn, Part One :: that’s right, I will be there on opening night right after work with all the crazy, fanatic girls. I might be in my 30’s but we all need to let out our inner 13 year old every now and then. And you ask what I’m doing after. Well my grown up self will be ready for a drink. That’s right :: there will definitely be drinks after, I’ll need something to balance all those teenage girl hormones in the air. Anyone else as excited as I am to see Bella and Edward stare at each other for hours?

this am, leaves on the ground, gloves on the hand :: it's getting colder around here

“About three things I was absolutely positive:

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant that part might be-that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

minty glittery

Definitely obsessing over all the fun nail art that is out and about lately. So last night I decided to try a little glitter for myself. I’m just pretending it’s still summer using light colors and going against the dreariness that has become NYC today. And yes, I use a magazine to balance all my stuff on my lap while I paint my nails so I can watch TV. I’m too lazy to sit at a table. That’s just how I do. Now I need an excuse of something to do in front of the TV tonight so I can watch Revenge :: might be a little obsessed with that show too but for good reason. Go watch it, if you haven’t yet!

Wearing :: Sephora by O.P.I Nail Glitter in Gunmetal and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Mint Sorbet. Only complaint, the glitter lost a lot of the sparkle when coated with a clear top coat as instructed. But without it, didn't seem too much would stay on. More tricks to try next time!
