Summer 2014's Go-To Nail Colors

Hey guys! I rarely have my nails painted, but during the summer is the perfect time! I always lean towards a nude color, or sort of a mink/light pink. But now that the neon trend has been going strong for a while, I might give that a whirl soon! I am also liking the gold accents that some are applying to their nails, which gives it an elegant and fancy look. Here is what I'm loving:


I think this color is perfect for summer. It is fresh and oh-so bright!


I like this look a lot, but there is a lot that is going on with it. I would've done just one gold accent. 


This is the way to do it, not overkill, and a great way to hide those dreaded/awful cuticles! 

That's all for today! What's your go-to summer nail color? Is it bright and out-there, or light and springy? Have a great rest of the day, thanks for stopping by!

Classic Twist Tuesday: Khakis Edition

Hey y'all! So I am bringing Classic Twist Tuesday back, and hoping to make it a regular thing. Today I will be talking about khaki pants- worn by men and women. I will be discussing how it has changed throughout the years. Let's get started!


   Male Vintage Preppy: Focus on the man in this 
picture. His style is full of textures and soft colors. He is not really into brights like today. And he is also wearing socks with his loafers, which is out of the ordinary today. Ha!


Female Vintage Preppy: This look could still be worn today, but today you would see maybe a bright cardigan instead of the black. Still love it, though! 


Male Modern-Day Prep: I absolutely love this picture, even though I prefer a good 'ole bowtie! This look contrast the vintage look because of the bright colors, that surprisingly go well together! 


Female Modern-Day Prep: I love Tommy Hilfiger ads, but even more now because their usage of colored khakis! Focus on the woman with the red khakis on, this contrast the vintage look because of the bright colors that she is wearing. But she pulls it back in with the tan loafers, which I have started to love. Especially these!

Well guys, that's it for today! I hoped you enjoyed it, and please feel free to comment and suggest what I should contrast next Tuesday for CTT. Thanks, and have a fabulous day!
