Summer is coming, neon summer inspired outfits

I can't wait for summer.  I absolutely love the summer time.  I enjoy traveling, going to the beach, pool days at home, bbq with family and friends, fourth of July, and so much more, most of all having both my daughters home with me to bond and have girl time=).  I also love summer for shorts, tanks tops and flip flops=).  Floppy hats, sunglasses and tans.  What compliments a tan better then white or neons?  I can't wait.  Being that I live in South Florida it is kind of summer all year long, but have to say winter I usually try to break out my boots and sweaters or scarves as much as possible.  I love fashion from the clothes, shoes to the accessories.  Whether it is sunglasses, cute purse or clutch, amazing necklaces and so much more.  Here are a few collections I created on Ployvore of some bright colors, with shorts, flip flops and tanks.  Will do some summer evening wear also shortly.

Summer time is easy and comfy fashion time.  I don't do a lot of layering unless it is jewelry or tank tops, I stick to lots of shorts, sundresses, sandals, flip flops and tank tops.  I always carry a light weight cardigan during the summer because everywhere you go the a/c is cranked on so you can get cold very easy.  I am always cold, so a jacket, hoodie or light weight sweater or cardigan is a must.  I have every color, 3/4 length sleeve, pullover, button down, colors, prints, and more.  I love bright colors.  Two of my favorites are orange and pink.  I also love coral and turquoise.  I have tons and tons of tank tops, sundresses and swimsuits already plus some of my favorite stores have had some of the cutest stuff I have seen in awhile.  I also am looking for a cute non leather purse for the summer.  Not sure what I want but now that I have all my favorites for fall/winter and spring want something very summer feeling.  Maybe a yellow or maybe something beach looking, I will be posting for sure soon some of my favorite handbags for the summer but till then here is a cute outfit idea.  I love the colors and these denim shorts are amazing.  Lots of fashion collections coming, some photos of outfits I put together from my own closet and so much more.  Stay posted.  Also a new month is getting ready to start.  I have my house all decked out for St. Patrick's day.  This year I am taking down St. Patty's day decor a little early since Easter is so close, because I have some amazing decor for Easter between my wreath I made, table centerpieces and more=).  Love holidays.

After Easter I am going to keep some of the decor out for spring, then in May will change to a summer theme.  I have some cute wreath and table decor ideas that have a beach, island vacation feel to them.  Can't wait to share.  I will be posting some photos of my St. Patrick's day decor soon, already posted photos on my instagram just haven't gotten a post together for here.  Will work on that today=).  Just decorated entry way, kitchen and dining room table.  Easter will be more out!  For sure lol.  Okay now to more photos from Polyvore.

Essie Escapades great spring/summer shade

Today I painted my nails using the color Escapades by Essie. I messed up my quickie manicure I did the other night at the beach and was considering doing same color I did my toes yesterday which is Essie Midnight Cami, love this navy blue color:).

Making dinner so didn't get to remove any polish I got on cuticles but I didn't have much:). I applied Butter London nail foundation as my base polish. Once that was dry I quickly applied two coats of Essie Escapades. I may have done a third coat if I had more time I don't care for the visible tip line on nails, but time was of the essence tonight lol.

I finished off with my favorite quick dry shiny top coat by Out The Door:). Love this top coat for when I need them dry super fast. Way better for me then Seche. Seche is thick and I get shrinkage along with lines if I lay on something or hit something. I also love Poshe for my other favorite top coat. I use that one a lot also but doesn't dry as fast, but seems to help prevent chipping quick.

I love this color. It reminds me of a coral but with some bright pink mixed in. Coral is one of my favorite shades along with turquoise right now:). Love them. It is a refreshing bright and cheerful color. I think it is great for spring and summer. Can't wait to use with a bright turquoise shade.

Enjoy the photos and hope everyone else had a great long weekend;). I had a four day weekend with family we cleaned, worked on our home inside and out then went to beach. Was a lot of fun. Making a beer can chicken now smells good;)~. Back to reality tomorrow :(. I feel good though got so much done around the home front and had fun too.

So fall, Essie Decadent Dish

I picked up this color at kohl's the other day when I ran in to grab a jacket for a night out. I love dark colors and this one caught my eye. It is called Decadent Dish and is an amazing almost brown burgundy. At first thought may be similar to Oktoberfest OPI but this is darker less purple color.

Has a gorgeous shine and the color is perfect from fall. It is brown with burgundy shimmer took two coats but worth it for sure love it:). I applied a base coat of Sally Hansen maximum growth base cause since I started kickboxing and boxing my hands fake a beating punching and doing burpees or push ups with gloves and wraps on.

I have broken my nails a lot lately but I like them kind of short and they grow fast. The Sally Hansen formula works amazing for nurturing my nails and supporting strong growth as well as protecting against polish stain and makes a good neutral base:). Then came two coats of Essie Decadent Dish and followed with Out The Door top coat. I alternate monthly between out the door and Poshe top coat love them both.

Enjoy the photos and off to kick some butt at box fit class now been dropping weight so fast in a month my body is transforming so quick and I can kick some butt lol. Not just strong and can hold me own anymore I know some moves. Amazing classes. Have a good week and will have some more posts just finished a design project and a event:). Also check out some of my fall and Christmas wreaths as well as all occasion wreaths and much more decor to come. Xoxo

Essie samples:)

I was bored and decided to sample out some colors either I haven't worn or it has been awhile.

I sampled Essie brand and the colors are go overboard, turquoise and Caicos, smokin hot and very structured. Go overboard and smokin hot were my two favorites and also liked very structured. I love blue and turquoise colors are my absolute favorites but this turquoise and Caicos was very watery.

It took three thick coats and still looked weird to me also kind of streaky. Normally I have found this before in china glaze but Essie has always been pretty good as far as the thickness and consistency of the color etc. I have a couple of light pink colors that need a few coats to look solid or to cover nail good, but was odd with this one. Was wondering if anyone else has this color and if it was the same way for them.

Posting a couple photos. Please ignore my cuticles been doing a lot of painting and crafting around the house and need to give myself a good manicure to fix up my cuticles. I also broke several nails last week and this am:( need to do a trim and try to make them look as uniform as possible.

Enjoy the photos and hope everyone has a wonderful week:)
