So what will I be talking about? Well, just about everything, just like Ella does. And if you read my blog, you would know that I love the general topic of everything-ness.
To kick off my start as a guest blogger, I am posting my 5 non-clothing recent favorites:
1. Dark Hued Nail Polishes
- Dark nail polishes are no stranger in the beauty community and have made their debut year after year with a huge customer base. Some of my favorites include OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark and Ski Teal We Drop, Essie Dive Bar, Chanel Graphite, and many, many more.
2. Riding Boots
- I absolutely LOVELOVELOVE riding boots. I personally own two pairs: one from Steve Madden and one from Frye. The Steve Madden Linderr Boots (shown first below) are zip-up, super comfortable boots in a lighter chocolate brown color. My newer pair from Frye are the Melissa Button Riding Boots in Cognac. Not only have I worn them out every day since Friday, I've even worn them inside at least twice. That's how much I love them. Although riding boots can be a pretty big investment, once you have found "the ones" that in your gut you KNOW you can't live without, buy them. Yet, if the price isn't right, try searching some more. Finding the perfect pair of boots is totally worth it, and it is just like weight loss: if you don't reach your goal, you feel like much less than a million bucks.
3. Style by Lauren Conrad
- Yes, this favorite is a book *gasp! I bought Lauren Conrad's Style back in December of 2010, and I have probably re-read it 984359205345732 times. In fact, I am currently rereading it AGAIN. Ella, I know your not the biggest fan of Lauren Conrad, but this book is a MUST for any fashion addicts. She mentions her must-have basics for a perfect wardrobe and the best dresses to wear to different occasions, describes how to create the best winged eyeliner look, and even decodes the attire requirements for special occasions.
4. Philosophy's Purity Cleanser+Clarisonic Mia
- I know, I know, this is technically 2 things, but c'mon, give me a break. These two products are like two peas in a pod: they just aren't the same without one another. I have been washing my face twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed, everyday using my Clarisonic with Purity and let me tell you, my skin has never been better. Of course, this doesn't count the occasional breakout that I just have to rub at, but the rest of my skin is brighter, cleaner, and just altogether feels better. Plus, the Clarisonic Mia comes in a variety of colors!
5. New Music: BRITISH BOY BANDS
- Ella is going to laugh at me for posting this, but I have to mention this I JUST HAVE TO. Okay, compose yourself. One Direction. ONEDIRECTIONONEDIRECTIONONEDIRECTION. I have loveeeeeed the super hot, super talented, super amazing British boy band since August, when I discovered them on Youtube right before the "What Makes You Beautiful" video came out. I am obsessed. Absolutely, positively, completely OBSESSED. Harry Styles, marry me...?
And that's it! Sorry that this is super long, but I've got tons to say...well, actually I've got tons to write. I'm so excited to write again! Until then, please check out my brand new blog, "the connoisseur":
