Oh Deborah Lippmann, your nail polish...I just can't get enough! It's like a little bit of luxury in a bottle.  In my opinion, some of the higher end nail polishes are worth a "splurge"...it's a much better product as far as quality and often they are they are some of the top colors I can find. Deborah Lippmann is known to pack her glitter polishes with max sparkle. Also the color combos make a designer giddy. This color is "Glitter and Be Gay" it's candescent canary yellow. You can get it from Sephora.

This oversized trend is nothing new...but survival mode takes over when it's freezing out. Anything that looks or feels like a blanket, I've been wearing it. Heck, I'll straight up wear blankets. Just a warning, you'll be seeing a lot of outfit posts this winter with me wearing get up like this. Be best buds with blankets, you won't regret it.

There's no doubt, I like to play dress up. I'd define my style as bold eclectic...you never know what I'm going to wear next. It can range from vintage, grunge, to glam. I love the challenge of exploration and attempting to "pull off" a look.
More on the outfit, I adore the tulle skirt trend. You can dress it up...or dress it down like I did here. The sweater is so inspiring, a mix of shapes and textures. I can't wait to incorporate this style into some of my designs.

Mix up an outfit by wearing different patterns! I kept with a monochrome black & white look... with patterns that vary in scale. I have a larger busier print on top and a smaller repetitive print for the bottoms. Be bold, don't be afraid to have fun and experiment. These polkadot pants from Zara are my favorite right now...they are my go-to piece to add some variety to an outfit.
