Happy 4th of July!

Here are my American flag nails for the 4th of July! Aren't they patriotic? My grandparents live near a beach, so today was the annual neighborhood parade and sandcastle contest! We came decked out in our stars and stripes (and American flag bikinis) for the big day. I absolutely love the 4th! It's one of my favorite holidays because the food and the company is so good :) Barbecues, sandcastles, sunshine, hot weather, tons of red, white, and blue, and cute guys on the beach equals one amazing 4th of July. Also, our sandcastle was pretty amazing! We did the Olympic rings since they're coming up in a few weeks. We wrote London, 2012 in seashells and rocks beneath the rings as well. The whole thing turned out great! I'll post pictures soon! Off to see the fireworks! 

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Hello from Boston!

Hello lovelies!!!
I apologize for my recent disappearance. You know how the last few weeks of school go...projects, presentations, and FINALS. Ew. However, I am finally done with school for the summer and I'm celebrating by taking a 2 week trip to Boston, Massachusetts to visit my grandparents. I promise I'll post pictures. It's so beautiful here; I go every year. I love relaxing on a beach with a good book, or running along the beach in the early morning or late evening when it isn't so stinking hot!

The only downside to the beach is that it wrecks nail polish! Right now, I'm wearing a bright, bright neon pink and with just one day in the sand, I have a few minor chips. Not bad for 2 topcoats, but still. I'll post those pictures soon, but for right now, I have a lovely lunch to share with you all :)

I met my friend Stephanie who is visiting from Florida at a cafe near home, and we both ordered grilled cheese. She also ordered a strawberry Italian soda while I ordered lemonade and a side of clam chowder. Nothing like eating a late lunch on a deck overlooking the water. :)

I'm so happy it's summer! What are your summer plans? Traveling? Staying home? Let me know!

Graduation Nails

Hello!!! 

For my cousin's graduation, she and I went to get our nails done the day before. These pictures were taken on the way to the graduation. I matched the colors to my dress/accessories and I love how the whole outfit turned out!

The nail colors were O.P.I.'s India Mood for Love and O.P.I.'s Mermaid's Tears. My dress is from Ann Taylor Loft and the blue bracelet is from Forever 21. I borrowed the ring from my cousin Lauren :)

The lighting was so pretty in the car...I love Arizona!

Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend?

Sandals

These pictures were taken before my trip. It was sunny so I studied out in the grass. You can see the lovely lawn gnome in the top right corner of the last picture! Ha! These are pretty much my favorite sandals. They are Madden Girl by Steve Madden and I found them at DSW about two years ago. I really like how they are metallic AND have zippers: two things I consider very important. I wear them so much, yet they last forever!! 

Happy Wednesday!

Arizona Toenails

Hello and happy Tuesday! The day before I went to Arizona, my mom and I went to get manicures and pedicures. I picked the brightest color possibly for my toes because I love how they look with summery sandals and wedges. Don't you? Here is my Arizona pedicure as well as a little taste of the food I tried there (get it? Taste? Hehe).

 Pasta with shrimp and scallops. Yes, it really is as delicious as it sounds.

 On-the-go breakfast ;)

Our "Arizona" toes. :)

My pedicure. The color is by China Glaze, and the name of the polish is Japanese Koi. It's the prettiest shade of orange I have ever seen and it stays on forever! I had no chips at all, and I was in a pool all week.

Sandals: Union Bay from TJ Maxx

 My brother went scorpion hunting in the desert. Black lights were necessary. My neon orange polish looked so awesome, I just had to show you! Is it cool or what? Now if only they made polish that looks like this...  

My kind of weather - I LOVE THE HEAT.

I have more pictures to come, so be prepared! And like always, feel free to email me or comment with any questions/comments you have. I love to hear from you all! Also, send me your nail/food/outfit pics and I will feature them on here! :)

Have a wonderful week!

xoxo, Annie

P.S. WHO IS EXCITED FOR PRETTY LITTLE LIARS???!!! I can't wait! I have about one more hour before it's on...better finish my homework.
Let me know your thoughts about the new episode!

I'm Back From Arizona

Hello!! I'm back from Arizona! I'm tan, relaxed, and ready to finish this school year! I only have 14 days left...almost there! The sun and heat were just amazing-I love the palm trees so much! I'll have more nail and food pictures soon, but I thought I'd share something different with you all today. I wanted to show you guys two outfit pictures from the days right before I left for Arizona. It was hot and sunny, so of course I wore shorts :)

What do you think?

I love wearing shorts. I probably have a million pairs...well, almost. :) Have a wonderful rest of your weekend! Oh, and remember to comment or share your nail/food/outfit pictures with me! I'd love to feature you on my blog!

xoxo, Annie

Bright!

Coral: O.P.I.'s My Chihuahua Bites

Turquoise: Essie's Turquoise and Caicos

Hello Lovelies!

I'm about to head to the airport to catch my flight to Arizona, but first I wanted to show you my nails from this last weekend! Every spring, I fall back in love with coral and turquoise. Actually, I think I'm always in love with these colors! I own so many clothes in both of these colors and I especially love when the two are combined. There is just something about the brightness of the colors that makes me so excited for summer and warm weather! I thought it was fitting to post these warm-weather nails before I go to a really hot place!

My mom and I got pedicures and manicures last night in preparation of the trip. I'm sooooo excited!!!! I'll keep you updated!

xoxo
