mani monday on Tuesday (is the new pink).

so what that I'm a day late for mani monday.....it's the thought that counts, right?? right??

regardless. I totes did a fun mani yesterday. for some reason, I've been wanting to try white polish. I've stayed away from it for awhile, but I decided to put my big girl panties on and try it out. of course, Kelby can't do anything plain. so I busted out my favorite new orleans inspired polish, OPI's French Quarter for Your Thoughts, and got a little crazy. (to be honest, I was catching up on my pretty little liars via netflix and aria was my inspiration. gosh, I just love her.)

the finished look revealed!!! (ta da!!)

seriously, go invest in French Quarter For Your Thoughts. it pretty much is the perfect shade of gray (one of 50, I'm sure). I wear it all the time in the fall but it totes works for spring too.

and no mani would be complete without my trusty top/base coat. I go through these like candy. thank you Sally Hansen for making this so stinking awesome.

distressed denim (is the new pink).

I love distressed denim. almost to a level that is unhealthy. yup. that about sums it up. unhealthy obsession with jeans.

ok onward to the point of this pointless ramble. yes, I do have actually have a point.

while I love distressed denim, I'm not a fan of how casual it looks. I'm beginning to understand that my style isn't one that bodes well with super casual looks. so I love to pair my distressed-ness up with something a wee bit dressy. hence my Bellatrix top and coral BP (Nordstrom) cardi.

the jeans are the AG piper crop. not the best fitting jean in the world but I love the color of them.

no outfit is complete without a stacked wrist. (apparently CoCo Chanel and I wouldn't get along with her whole philosophy of "take off one thing before you leave the house." blah blah blah I say. my motto is more like "add 20 before you leave the house.)

gotta love these Steve Maddens. I'm debating on the camel color too. totes think I could transition these into fall. (why yes summer just began and I'm thinking about my fall wardy.)

the complete look. love.love.love.

freedom (is the new pink). on my booty.

hello. for anyone who knows me but at all, they know how much I love America/Merica/I'm ok USA! 

no but seriously. I love all things red, white and blue related. including these amaze-ball shorts I stumbled across at target last year. (no but really, I tripped while shopping at the beloved target right in front of these shorts. it was like it was meant to be.)

so I totes busted out these flag shorts yesterday. yum. love them.

who knew patriotism could be so dang fashionable??
