I wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner Friday night. The dress is from a local boutique (sorry no link) with an old Bohme necklace & my favorite booties. For the actual wedding I re-wore this.
Nails of the Week
I went to a cousin’s wedding this weekend so I did a quick & simple design by painting my nails black, then using top coat to attach jewels in a half circle at the base of my nail.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! Just incase you missed my instagraming from last night, here’s a re-cap. I went to the coolest New Year’s Eve party I’ve ever been to that had a 1920s theme & wore my Halloween costume from last October (with more comfortable shoes). You can see the Halloween post [HERE].
I brought my mini 8 & posted some instants on my Instagram, @atraceoflace. (Thanks to my friend Carmen for asking a guy she knows from work to let me take a pic of his group in their great costumes, & thanks to Carmen’s boyfriend Sam for taking pics of me & Carmen.)
I also took one sneaky shot of this girls costume from the back with my phone & the picture turned out pretty great.
Outfit of the Day
For New Years Eve Day I am wearing a blouse from a local boutique, boots from another local boutique, & my favorite old pair of AE jeans.
Outfit of the Day
I decided to mix textures with this look by wearing lace, knits, & a chambray shirt together. I love the results! I’m wearing my new tank top I bought on Black Friday under an old chambray shirt & sweater, with some Banana Republic over-the-knee socks (folded down twice), my Tin Missy boots found [HERE], & a vintage watch.
Outfit of the Day
Wearing my new blanket scarf with a Forever 21 shirt & some old boots.
Nails of the Week
For these nails, I used manicure stickers to block off the base of my nails. Then used my pearl colored polish. Then I used a little silver glitter polish to paint a thin line above the pearl.
Christmas Outfit
For Christmas I am wearing a sweater dress I bought at a local boutique with a vintage necklace & Charlotte Russe loafers.
Christmas Eve
Marry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday with family & friends.
I made a Mint Chocolate Trifle with my mom to bring to our family get together. You can find the recipe [HERE] but I’ll worn you, it took the two of us two hours Christmas Eve Eve to make & another hour Christmas Eve to assemble (also, we couldn’t find mint leaves this time of year).
Another super cute dessert there was some chocolate ornaments one of my aunt’s got at a grocery store (how cute right!).
I also opened up my Grandma gift last night, an Instax Mini 8!! Though, if you follow my Insta you probably saw that I tested it out a couple nights ago (my mom insisted so I’d know how to use it Christmas Eve). It was pretty fun using that last night.
Christmas Eve Outfit
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas Eve! Today I am wearing a Francesca’s sweater & necklace with Forever 21 blouse & my favorite ankle boots.
Outfit of the Day
I went to a beautiful Christmas concert Saturday night & wore my beaded Free People dress with a cropped sweater & my favorite ankle boots.
Nails of the Week
I decided to do some simple asymmetrical french tips for my holiday nails. I first used a sheer pinkish nude color. Then I used straight manicure stickers to paint on my black asymmetric french tips.
