Hanging Out

Let me start off by saying, HAPPY SAINT PADDY'S DAY!!  I'm sharing a subtle green OOTD with you guys today!

Fun fact: I'm half Irish...and half Puerto Rican...crazy combo right? hahaha

Location, location, location. You here it all the time, and when it comes to blogging it's so true...but there's always an exception to the rule, isn't there?  Sometimes it's not the location, but how you use your location!

When you're still a newbie blogger like me, you don't always have the luxury of numerous exciting locations to shoot at, so get creative with it!  Drive around town, try and look at certain locations close by at a different angle. You'd be surprised at how many new locations you'll wind up with!

Bag: Marshalls (similar, love this white one for spring/summer!) || Sunnies: Old Navy (similar)

So where did I wind up shooting today?  The local playground!!













A boiler suit is the perfect one-piece go-to for spring!  ...and it's great for those days you have no clue what to wear; throw it one, grab your fave sneakers and finish off with a shiny statement necklace!   Easy peasy.  Plus this olive green is a subtle nod to the all green holiday, so you can get your Irish on in style, without worrying about looking like a leprechaun, hahaha.

As you can tell, it's super easy to move around in one of these, because clearly I had much too much fun hanging off of the spider web wall...hahaha!



Have you ever given a location a second chance and turned it into a great spot to shoot?  :)

Manicure Monday: Shamrocks & Studs

Saint Paddy's Day is tomorrow, and I completely forgot until someone reminded me today at work!

Here's a simple DIY manicure that's perfect for tomorrow's shamrock filled day.


What you'll need:

  • green nail polish 
  • white nail polish
  • a thin nail brush
  • gold studs
  • nail glue
  • base coat
  • top coat
  • tweezers

1.  Starting with clean (and filed/clipped/shaped) finger nails, apply your base coat.  I always do just one, even coat, to avoid chipping.


2.  Paint only your ring fingers white.



3.  Paint the rest of your nails green.


4.  Time for the shamrocks!  All it is really, is a few strokes placed together.  Easy-peasy!



5.  On the green nails, apply a dot of nail glue towards the base of your nail (right above your cuticles), and then, using tweezers, apply the nail stud.  You can use the end of your tweezer to gently press the stud into place to make sure it's firmly secured.


6.  Finish with a top coat and let dry!
