Jewelmint’s Limited Quantities Sets Are Back!

What a wonderful surprise to brighten up a boring work day! I just got an email about Jewelmint‘s Buy One Get One Free sets and fell in love with all of them! Here is what they have on sale:

L.A. Wedding!

A friend of mine recently got invited to an L.A. Wedding. It’s going to be in August and will be outside. Although she already owns quite a few pretty dresses, mostly from White House | Black Market. She wanted to go bright, bold and a little flashy for this wedding without spending a fortune of course.

So we were on the hunt, for dresses and shoes. We spent time in a lot of different stores, but as we all know, either the size fits or the price is right….never both.

We finally got lucky at JC Penney. They had a great selection of dresses, and they were on sale!

So here are the winners:

Macy’s One Day Sale is here again!!

One thing is for sure my family and I love shopping at Macy’s. However, we never really shell out lots of money in the store. What I love most about shopping at Macy’s are their great sales. Also, once you become a Macy’s card holder they send you tons of coupons that work even on Sale and Clearance items! So finding a great deal is never too difficult.

Maxi Find!

If you’ve been reading our blog for a while, you’ll remember that I did a previous post about maxi dresses.

Well with all the soaring temperatures I realized I needed a break from pants and jeans. So, I was finally able to go out and get one for myself! 🙂

The first one I found was from TJ Maxx. I really love shopping at TJ Maxx. Their prices are definitely very competitive for the different brands available. Earlier this year I was able to nab a gorgeous snakeskin print Jessica Simpson hobo bag that was originally $108 for $30! 🙂

I don’t have an actual picture of the one from TJ Maxx, but it is very close to this, except it is a teal shade all over:

More simple manicure ideas!

So continuing with my series of simpler manicure ideas, here’s my next pitch.

Get Excited!

I am back from my internship and getting all geared up to go to INDIA! For all those who don’t know, I am from India (originally)… So I am taking my vacation – a one month long one- at India. I am also traveling within India a bit. I will be in Kolkata and Bangalore for sure. Not sure if my parents have planned any other trips. I am going to be taking a LOT of pictures – specially for the blog. I want to be able to post about fashion and food and beauty! I love my homeland, but I think this blog has truly inspired me to go ahead and document some of the EXOTIC things about my country, for all of you readers.

Simply polished

I’m really glad that my last few manicure posts were received with such enthusiasm, thank you! 🙂

Talking with S, she suggested that I should come up with more ideas for simpler manicure designs….more so that they are something she can try! Haha

So here goes….

Edgy twist to a Half-moon Manicure

It’s no secret that I’ve been very fascinated by different nail art techniques lately…A recent trend that I’ve been wanting to try out for a while is the Half-moon manicure. It’s been featured on different celebrities, My Style, TheLooksforLess and many more websites.

It’s a nail trend that was initially seen on Hollywood starlets in the 20s. But it’s definitely making a huge comeback. Here are some celebrities sporting this manicure:

   

Polka Dotted Magic

I’d been wearing bright nail colors for quite some time…but lately I have been wearing a lot of different nude shades. One of the reasons might be a recent manicure post by Jen (LooksforLess) 🙂 She did a simple yet gorgeous manicure with a nude base and added a magical touch to it with a golden glitter top coat.

So, inspired by her manicure, I tried it with a little twist…

Shopping your way to a better planet

Last week was a great time for me and my boyfriend. He was graduating from his 5 year Architecture program and I got to fly down to Miami to see him. 🙂 Hence, my absence from the website for a couple days.

This was also going to be the first time that I would be meeting his mom and other family members. Naturally, I wanted to look my best! Which also meant I was on the hunt for a nice dress for the commencement ceremony……on a serious budget – $20-$30.
