Scotch Naturals Nail Polish

Out with the formaldehyde, heavy metals and other toxic ingredients....in with the water based nail lacquer! I for one believe that beauty should not sacrifice health. Why is it that everything in our lives seem to be boggled with chemicals and peculiar looking ingredients that 99% of us can't even pronounce! Skincare, food, cosmetics, house-hold cleaners....It's like a coup has been formed and there's no questioning it. Well, I'm done. Slowly but surely I have started to phase out all of the harmful and potentially life-threatening toxic products from my life. The next few blog posts will simply be about new product lines that I give my stamp of approval on and what makes them worthy of trying.


Today, it's all about Scotch Naturals Nail Polish. As I mentioned briefly, they are free of all the shameful ingredients that regular nail polish are chock full of and the colors range from subtle to daring. Here are my absolute favorites from the line. From left to right we have: Morning Glory Fizz, Caleigh, Hot Toddy and Leprechaun Lynch, Loch Ness Mystery, Stonefence.

 

 

Steve Madden Top Picks!

Steve Madden has always been my go-to brand for high quality + high style footwear. I'm generally a person who is willing to spend a bit more on quality items but I do have a limit. I try to find my staple pieces out of season at places like Nordstrom Rack or Ebay, that way the cost is considerably less and there's less of a chance running into someone on the street wearing the exact same pair. Here are a few pieces I have my eye on that I'm just waiting and waiting to love. All of the following shoes are under $200 and beautifully crafted. From the classic cognac loafer to the all-over studded loafer, these pieces are all truly unique and absolutely affordable!

Crates As Tables

As some of you may know, I'll be moving into my new apartment in a month or so. I've been searching for the perfect home accessories and accent furniture for some time now and I think I've finally decided on what I want in a coffee table. Old, rustic, wooden-goodness. I have become so inspired by the whole flea-market-shabby-chic-boho-sophisticated thingy-ma-jig. I definitely wouldn't paint the wood like the reels in the last photo just because I am in love with the subtle imperfections that bring the crates character. I just really liked the shelving unit on the wall and the pops of color amidst all that crisp, clean white.

Anyone else feelin' the crate?
