51 Fabulous Bloggers!


I'm sure we all have a favorite blog that we check frequently for updates, and when you see a new post, it's the greatest feeling. Kind of the feeling you get when you've been going back and forth with bids on an exclusive, limited edition item (maybe a Chanel Lumieres Byzantines de Chanel Palette Highlighters) you really want on eBay and in the last mili-second, you won it. Or you received an awesome package in the mail you weren't expecting. Aaaaaaaah. Total nirvana.

I'm subscribed to hundreds of blogs. So many that sometimes my favorites will get buried in the abyss of new posts. That's of course what my Blogroll is for. A list of some of my favorite blogs so when I find that I have nothing to do, I can always refer to my Blogroll and click through the links so I won't miss a thing. (You can view my Blogroll HERE)

There are also several other blogs I adore that aren't listed. I went through my ginormous list, and compiled a mini-ginormous list of blogs that I think are awesome. Please don't be offended if your blog isn't listed. There was no way to name every single one, and I know for sure I did miss a bunch. (Although by the size of my list, it does look like I listed every single one.. lol)

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Rockstar Pink!


Rockstar Pink is a pretty cool glitter polish that consists of two different size glitters. I wouldn't really consider it to be "chunky" glitter, but it's a mix of small and extra fine glitters. There are magenta, red, blue and very fine gold (they almost look green - some say they are silver, but they look gold to me) glitter, with the majority being magenta. Wow, I've managed to say glitter 5 times in two sentences. Haha!

Anyway, many times glitter nail polishes disappoint because they never seem to look the same way on the nail as they do in the bottle. Although Rockstar Pink is fairly sheer, I find it to be more opaque than other glitters I've tried in the past. You pretty much get full coverage with three coats, but I decided on four. When sealed with a top coat, this polish is a real stunner.

I tried it over pink, black and solo. I think it looks pretty cool all three ways. A couple of pedicures ago, I did the pink version and I loved it. It looked very "barbie-esque".

If you love glitter polish and don't mind the extra hassle of removing it, this is a great buy for a couple of dollars at your local drugstore.

Small Forever 21 Accessory Haul!



    All of the items I purchased are still available on the Forever 21 website. Each item listed above is linked to the product page.

    I'm loving everything I purchased, and my only regret is purchasing the leaf necklace. I only own a few necklaces, and I'm really liking the layering trend, so I thought it would look cute layered with some other simple gold necklaces. I usually avoid buying necklaces from Forever 21, especially if they are gold because after 1-2 uses they change color and I won't wear them after that. I took a chance and didn't even wear the necklace yet, and the gold already changed. It was bright yellow gold when I purchased it and now it's a dull silver-gold. Oh well. You can't win them all, right?

    My favorite things are the knuckle ring, which is surprisingly comfortable. It has a hinge, so both ends move slightly when you bend your finger for a more comfortable fit. I've been wearing it almost every day since I got it.

    This is my other favorite purchase. Another item I've been wearing every day. I usually pair it with the arrowhead earrings. Really cute and edgy. I love that it's a loose fit, so even if I'm wearing long sleeves, the spikes peek through.

    Yay, it's already the weekend! Have any plans?
