#SUNDAYFUNDAY


I love keeping busy! No really, for me, busy is exciting! A truly packed schedule is what I crave and how I function best! Don't really know what it is, but I've always been this way. Unless I have a million things to do, I feel like I'm slacking:) And yet, every once in a while, especially after a particularly crazy week, there is nothing I enjoy more than a quiet Sunday at home! 

I guess you could call it a ritual, but I love getting up really early Sunday morning and spending the day doing all my favorite girly things! I light some candles, put on my coziest sweater and lounge around indulging in some personal pampering like trying out new skin care, experimenting with my eye make up,  painting my nails or catching up on some reading as I savor my morning coffee.




I big fan of soft pink nail polish in general, I just can't get over this pretty Holiday 'Roses in Snow" duo from Deborah Lippmann! Today, I opted to layer the glitter coat over the soft pink nail polish, but next time, I might just opt for glittery french tips or make a statement by adding the glitter coat to just my ring fingers:)



Can't really decide what I love more, the packaging or the scent!:) Love, love, love how fun and sexy Viva La Juicy fragrance is! Usually, I like to apply perfume on the inside of my wrists and not just my neck to really amplify the fragrance and make it last all day!



Candy-inspired eye-shadow colors? Yes, please! Love how blendable these shimmery and glittery shades are and rich and intense the colors are. Personal favorite color combo of the moment is "Strawberry Ice" paired with 'Sugared Violet"!



You know me, skincare is my thing and face masks are my obsession! Seriously, I can't image a personal pampering day without trying out a new mask:) This mask/scrub combo from One Love Organics is my latest discovery. For a good exfoliating effect, I mix this powder mask with warm water in equal parts, but you can also mix it with greek yogurt for a more clarifying effect or with raw honey to hydrate the skin.


Reading in bed is my guilty pleasure! Really, all I truly need to make my day is a good cup of coffee, some cozy blankets and a really good book to read! Currently, I'm reading Living In Style: Inspiration and Advice for Everyday Glamour and indulging in some style insights from the effortlessly glamorous Rachel Zoe, who is also one of my personal fashion icons.


I can't get enough of this pretty Essence of Florets candle from DL & C! Pretty scent and beautiful packaging, I just love the way it fills the room with a delicate floral fragrance!

FRESHLY COATED

Nail polish colors inspired by my beloved macaroons, uhhhh......., yes, please! Which is why I am so excited to team up with Estee Lauder to showcase some of my favorite nail colors from their SS13 collection. Nail polish junkie in general, I have a particularly soft spot for pastel and bright hues! Since choosing which one of these pretty shades to wear first was one of those oh-so-difficult tasks, I figured why not mix-and-match! What do you guys think? Yay or Nay on wearing several nail polish colors at the same time?

FAVORITE NAIL POLISH COLORS

Being a complete nail polish addict, I thought it would be fun to do a post dedicated entirely to some of my favorite colors. To me, nail polish color is a finishing touch, essential to completing any look. In general, I lean toward bold and bright, but every so often I like to mix it up a bit and wear soft and pretty pastels. How about you guys, what are your favorite nail polish colors?

SPARKLE


I said it before and I'll say it again, you don't need a special occasion to wear something sparkly. Everyday could be a celebration, right? Found this bag in the back of my closet this morning, and couldn't believe I completely forgotten about it! It was probably one of my favorite bags this summer ( last seen here & here ) and I am so glad to be reunited with this super versatile piece just in time for the Holiday season! I have a feeling it's going to be my constant party companion:)
