Nails of the Day | In the Nude

It's been a while since my last "nails of the day" post since I honestly haven't done anything special with them in past month and a half. I've pretty much been wearing the same nail polishes that you've seen on my blog posts or videos so I didn't feel the need to show them to you again. Recently I've been falling in love with Avon's Nailwear Pro+ nail polishes. They are some of the most opaque nail polishes I've ever tried. The polish goes one super smooth, it barely chips, and it has a very glossy finish. I've never been a fan of nude nail polishes until I tried this one, I guess all I needed was a nice opaque nude polish to change my mind.

August Favorites

The month of August was not a very exciting one when it came to beauty discoveries but it was certainly a month filled with exciting moments. I began the month celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and just a couple days later I was off to San Francisco for Outside Lands. Since my mind was everywhere but in the beauty world, I just really stuck to long lasting and easy to apply products. If you're interested in seeing what products I loved in the month of August please watch my latest video.

August 2013 Playlist

Although I love indie rock and alternative music, I still have a soft spot for pop music. I can't help it, I just love a catchy song with a great hook. Despite my love with the upbeat music genre, I have to say that I'm disappointed with the state of mainstream pop music today. I mean I can enjoy a Katy Perry song but don't even get me started on the Biebz, Lady Gaga, or "twerk queen" Miley Cyrus. I feel like artists are just letting their team of producers and songwriters dictate their career and the end product just sounds like something another pop artist released a couple months ago. I see a lack of creativity and originality in today's pop music.

This month's playlist features some of the most underrated pop acts of today. These are the singers and bands that are creating interesting pop music and writing lyrics that push the envelope. You won't be hearing "baby baby baby ohhhhhh" in these songs, instead you might hear about powerful women, open relationships, and the modern-day Renaissance girls. I also made sure to have a lot of variety in this playlist. I have artists from Norway, Denmark, Brazil, New Zealand, Chile, Ireland, England, and of course the United States.

San Diego Style Bloggers 1-year Blogiversary

Happy birthday San Diego Style Bloggers! This past Friday I got the chance to attend the San Diego Style Bloggers 1-year Blogiversary event held at the affordable fashion boutique Shimmer in National City. I had an amazing time with the San Diego Style Bloggers that I know and those who I met at the event. There was certainly a lot of talking, Instagramming, and posing for pictures throughout the night. Might I mention that I did a little shopping? These are the type of things that go down at a blogger event.
