Sally Hansen Pacific Blue




I own quite a lot of polishes by Sally Hansen but I especially love the consistency and brush of the Xtreme wear formula.  With one coat you're good to go! And the brush is wide enough to nicely cover and coat each nail in a few quick swipes.

Over the weekend, I was at Wal Mart and came across Pacific Blue.  I thought to myself, "where have you been all this time?" :)

Yes, this color is that beautiful! It's a pretty cobalt blue and as pictured I'm wearing only one coat over top a base coat.  

As you can see, I have gone ahead once again and trimmed my nails.  My nails grow like a plant.  They were trimmed approximately one week ago and already gaining some length.  

Back to the color, if you're like me and into blues then this may be a color after your heart.  Simply visit your local drug store or Wal Mart.

Happy Nail Painting!

A Walk in the Park

I'm a lover of Nature and taking walks in the Park is one activity I enjoy greatly, especially during the Summer months.  Here are a few video clips I managed to capture while out on my afternoon stroll.  On the same day I posted about the Thunderstorm in Toronto, the weather held up for a bit later that afternoon so my family and I took advantage and ventured out.



During our walk, I thought I saw what looked like a bunny rabbit and boy, I was right on. He/she was so cute to resist so I quickly pulled out my phone to snap a few photos and I was also lucky to make a mini video as well.  What a beauty!



There something extra special about the sound of running water down a stream or river.  Not only is it serene but just so relaxing. I wasn't able to capture a clear view of the water but you can definitely hear it.






The force of the water was especially strong that day due to the heavy rains earlier in the day.

Here's to Nature!

Summer Footwear Wishlist

I just received notification via email that one of my all time favorite footwear stores is having a huge sale, offering select footwear at 60% off.  I'm thinking to head down there.  Here's what's on my wishlist thus far.

Love this T-Strap sandals for it's comfort factor.  According to their website, it's available in 3 colors: Fushia, Brown & Black. I would opt for the Fushia since I'm a fanatic for anything pink. And priced at $19., that sure can't be beat.



I'm also eyeing this gorgeous wedge. Available in two colors, Cognac & Ice. What a steal at $22.49! If this is still in stock, I'm definitely getting the Cognac shade since it's pretty universal & will go with most outfits.

 This thrid choice is such a beautiful thong sandals. Ideal for hot & humid days.  This will go awesome with my Summer dresses too.  It's a steal at only $14.99! It comes  in two colors, Gold & Silver.
 My Spring Shoes is one of my go-to sources for footwear.  I'm never disappointed with their collections.

Happy Mail Day from GoFavor dot com

Yesterday, I received a beautiful package from Go Favor dot com. I was anticipating it's arrival for a while so you can imagine the excitement once I finally had it in my hands.
My order took a few weeks to process but I'm not going to complain since I opted for their free shipping option. 

 
I'm constantly adding to my jewelry collection and especially after noticing a number of  You Tube gurus talking about Go Favor dot com's jewelry, I decided to place a small order.



My personal photographer, my son that is, assisted me to take the following photos of me modelling the pieces.  As you can see, I have invested in mostly statement pieces.  These pieces have the ability to instantly dress up any bland outfit.

Firstly, I'm in love with this black geometrical cut, choker bib necklace. Totally love the gold tone combined with the solid black shapes.



Next up, is this gorgeous turquoise  Roman Style Beaded Rope Bib necklace. This is such a versatile piece and it also happens to be available in one of my favorite colors. 




And onto this next piece, just by stumbling upon it, I knew I had to add it to my cart.  It's a pretty long necklace and comes down to my waistline. Undoubtedly, this will make an awesome Fall accessory when worn over-top sweaters.  Score!



 Here's what it looks like up close!





 Do you love elephants? I totally do & just couldn't pass up on this elephant rhinestone pendant necklace. Super cute!




Close-up shot of the elephant pendant. 



And check out my whimsical cocktail lip ring! What more can I ask for, especially since it's in my favorite color - PINK. I'm in LOVE!



I have always been a fan of Charm Bracelets and in this order, I got 4 pieces. Check 'em out!

This first piece is my absolute favorite in the bracelet collection that I ordered.  I love how chic it is and fits my tiny wrist perfectly.




Look how cute this Leaf, Key, Heart & Tassle piece is.  It's such a playful piece that will match a lot of my outfits.






 This piece looks somewhat Dior-inspired. Just saying! :)



This last piece is yet again another stunner.  I'd say it's rather unique with the combination of pearls, chain, rhinestones and dangling coins. Beautiful!



Notice how red my hand is in this last photo.  I got stung yet again over the weekend by our Canadian mosquitoes, aka as critters.  I hate these parasites for what they have been doing to me this Summer. Ugh!

So, yes, here's my very first order from GoFavor. I'm happy to relate that I have had a very positve experience shopping with them and their level of customer service is superior.  

If you're on a quest to source fairly priced fashion jewelry, then you may want to try some pieces from them.  If you're cautious, order only a few inexpensive pieces to start.
