Nail Varnish of the Week (Frozen Edition)

Seeing as it is the holiday season, I decided to get in the spirit with some holiday type nails. I didn't feel like the classic red and green so I went for a more wintery look using blue and silver sparkles.

My ring finger was actually painted grey to keep the background a bit different and in the silver family.

Sometimes I spurge a bit and buy some Essie colors while there is a sale because lets be real. The colors are amazing and seem to hold up to their cost.

The grey color I used on my ring fingers was just a basic grey I picked up by Brucci.

The Essie color I used was "Rock The Boat" and the Brucci's Nail Hardener color used was "Alexandra's Hot Gray" and it is certainly hot.

The silver sparkle used mainly on my ring finger and scattered on my other digits was a simple Forever 21 color in "Glitterati."

Overall, I was quite happy with my nails and they lasted about the standard 5 days. The sparkles make any nail color chip faster. If you are looking for the perfect Frozen inspired nails, these are it!

Stay Fab!

XOXO -M.S.

Coachellaroid

About a month ago, I was lucky enough to win a Festival Style contest to Coachella with Teen Vogue and Marc Jacobs. I took my polaroid camera with me and took a few piccys along the way. Here is Coachella in polaroid style.

Day 1:
Teen Vogue and Marc Jacobs set us up with lovely goodies and this wonderful letter.

Here is Amy with our Teen Vogue Mags and our goodie bags in our hotel room.

Rockin' our Marc By Marc Jacobs sunnies and scarves.

Dinner consisted of In-N-Out.

Munch, Munch.

We emptied our bags out after the first day and laughed at everything we carried through the festival.

Day 2:
From 12-6pm, we laughed, drank, ate and partied with some celebs at the Marc By Marc Jacobs Desert Gold Party at the Ace Hotel.

The Ace Hotel was basically made to look amazing in Polaroids.

Every time we tweeted #MBMJSunnies we received a free lemonade. Needless to say, I was tweeting up a storm in 95 degree weather!

There was even a Pop-Up Shop where you could buy the Sunnies on site!

Seriously, look at this pool. Ace Hotel = Polaroid Paradise.


We got to grab a funny pic in the photo booth as well!

Day Two's Outfit consisted of buns, dungarees, a crop top and flatform trainers.

An attempted selfie while waiting for Muse but it was too dark.

Around 3am, we decided to we needed to hop in the photo booth at the Ace Hotel and have a laugh.

Day 3:
10am at Coachella = Empty! So we grabbed a ride on the Ferris Wheel.

As a VIP, we got to eat at these yummy and fresh food carts!

Not a Selfie in the VIP area.

Coachella was absolutely amazing and the people I got to meet were even better. I just want to thank Teen Vogue and Marc Jacobs for allowing me this once in a life time experience!

XOXO -M.S.

Spray Hair Color

If you follow me on ANY of my social medias, you would know I am obsessed with colored hair! My hair is personally a mix of blue, purple and pink. The more color, the better in my book.
My hair has been through well...a lot. It was bleached for two days straight then sat with toner for forever and then finally dyed purple. As I have been experimenting with my hair, I have added in the pink and blue.

Before I put my hair through everything, I tried colored clip-ins from ULTA. They were great for the young people who wanted to try a little something different (and are under their parents' roof).

The next attempt of being cool was hair chalk! I bought some $4 pink hair chalk from Rite Aid. I loved it but didn't like how it would wash out right away. I eventually used it again when my hair was bleached and it held much longer!

But the moment I heard about this SPRAY Hair Color, I got so excited! Since it is spray, it is more condensed and it can take the darkest pigmented hair and turn it to pink (pink only holds in blonde or bleached hair). The product is made by Bumble and bumble. It is called Spray Chalk and it comes in 4 different colors as of now (cobalt, lavender, mint and blush)! The prices are $19 for a 1.4oz.



It washes out within a day but it allows you to experiment with different colors and ideas (ombre, stripes, start at the roots), it is whatever you want to make it! I have yet to try the product but needless to say, it shall be in my hands soon!

So go grab some and spray away....at least for a day!

July's Favorites

I always told myself that I would NEVER do a monthly favorite but as you can see, I am doing it. So since this blog is all about fashion, music and culture. Those will be my main three topics each month. Let's get started.

Music:

BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1 Extra are where I find most of music, along with people who tweet/follow me to check out their music. To say I don't love Top 40 would be a total lie, but I like to say I like Top 40 songs before they are Top 40s....like a hipster of popular songs except I want people to hear them.
 My July songs have been filled with random throwbacks and dance-y music.

These are just a few of my July favorite songs, as I hear songs I like, I will be sure to share them with you.

Fashion:


Grunge, grunge, grunge. If you aren’t wearing something with mesh or spikes, I question you. 90’s clothing is back and in major ways.

   Denim!
Denim has always been a closet staple but it is back and in more ways than one. Dresses, headbands, overalls, skirts, shorts, tops, jackets, bags, pillow cases, backpacks. You name it and it can be denim.


   Platform shoes!
To say I don’t have at least 4 pairs of platform shoes in my closet would be a total lie. Platforms=height without the discomfort of heels. Sneakers, sandals, dress shoes, boots, platform shoes are back and in every style.


   Colored Hair!
Maybe I am biased because my hair looks like a unicorn but rainbow hair is taking over. Whether it is bleached or just applied with hair chalk, it is everywhere! Thanks to the founders of BLEACH London, bleaching and hair coloring is no longer a backyard beauty job but a professional and acceptable way to play with your look. If you haven’t checked out BLEACH yet, be sure to look at their blog and lookbooks.


   Bold Tees!
Cropped tees, shirts with sayings and obnoxious prints are the way to rule this summer. Personally, I love my “IT GIRL” tee. Comfy but says a statement that must be shared in the rudest way possible.

   Slept In Hair!
Lazy summers= not a hairbrush in sight. As wonderful as the polished look may seem, it is ok to give your hair a break from the heat. Let it air dry and leave the hair straightener to the side until the fall!


My fashion comes from the music I listen to to the blogs I watch on a daily basis. Here are some other blogs I like to keep an eye on.
  -TopShop
  -BLEACH

Culture:

   I am the biggest tech head so to say that I haven’t fallen in love with The DigitalFairy would be a total lie. Technology news in the funkiest of ways.

   Nylon Mag, haven’t heard of it? What a shame. It is only one of the leading magazines to hit the stand that is changing culture. Be sure to read their brilliant blog.

   Beach culture. I live a block away from the beach so to say that the surfer’s attitude is in my blood may be more true than saying Prince Harry has red hair. “Take life day by day and handle each set of waves as they roll in.” Don’t worry about the waves that are on the horizon but the ones right in front of you.

Whoa, well this was my first favorite post and I am super excited about it. I am sure as we go through each month I will get better with each post but not bad for a first shot. Feel free to comment below some things you did and did not enjoy about the post!

XOXO,
M.S.

My First (Grown Up) Post

Whoa!
  Well, I decided to be a grown up and have a grown up blog. Sure I have had my Tumblr for 6 years and I will continue to update that but this, this is a big step. I'm scared to say the least but excited! My main goal for this blog is to....share fashion, culture and music with you that I enjoy. It may not be your cup of tea but I swear I have good taste in some things....some. So, let's do this. Fashion. Culture. Music. Love. Thanks for joining me on this journey.

Xoxo,
-M.S.

P.S. I plan on writing like we are friends, I feel more comfortable that way; hope it is cool with you.
