Mani, Pedi, and a Splash of Nail Art

The nail art trend has taken us by storm! Nail art has gone from just another fashion blunder of the 1980s (along with acid washed jeans and mullets) to a trend that can be very chic and beautiful.

Nail art can be an expression of yourself, your style, or even just your mood.

With nail art you can say “I’m edgy,” “today is a fancy day,” or  “I’m feeling funny.”
We’ve thrown the old rules for painted nails out the door, it’s time to get creative.

Maybe paint each nail a different color, use a detailed design, or even try 3D nails.
Feeling a little apprehensive about such bold nails? Try something a bit more subtle.

Play around with glitter, put a new twist on a classic look, or just try out interesting colors.
However you decide to enjoy this current trend, I recommend having your nail art done by a professional. I know there are a lot of DIY nail tutorials floating around the internet, but let’s face it, nail art is better left to an actual nail artist.
If you can’t afford to pay a professional to do your nails, try just painting with really cool polish.
Famed nail polish designer Deborah Lippman has collaborated with Lena Dunham, creator, director, and star of HBO’s hit series Girls, to create this fabulous new collection of polish. Each color is named for one of the four main characters of the fashionable show. So, if you can’t afford to have your nails done weekly or bi-weekly by a professional, you should definitely invest in this really cool collection.

Accessorizing Your Winter Wardrobe

Looking fabulous on a students budget isn't easy.

This year I had to get very creative with my accessories because purchasing a new winter coat just wasn't in the stars for me. I've put together a few winter accessory ideas for glamming up my trusty, black winter coat from last season!

Tip: When buying accessories get crazy and get trendy! Don't spend to much money because that accessory might be a one trick pony. You can never know what will be on trend next year! I like to spend my big money on basics and classics; then spend a little less on really fantastic accessories.
Keep your ears warm with some cute head gear. Try a knitted turban or some furry ear muffs.
Gloves can be so cute. Here's a tip for gloves: make sure they have leather soles or they are fingerless so you can drive in them!
I have an entire wall of scarves. I wear a different one everyday and I feel like they just complete and outfit.
Every time I see a girl in a hat, I always think she's a little cooler than me. Hat's are cool.
Saved the best for last! Dress up that old winter coat with some spiked shoulder pads or a faux fur lapel!

Just remember to take risks with accessories. They can really add flare to an outfit.

Happy Shopping!
