You've Got Nail 93 // November Scratch Box

I was really excited to get the November Scratch Box! Last November they also did plaid wraps and I had so much fun creating with them. These red plaid wraps were reminiscent of a manicure I did earlier this year!

Thirty-Two

Today is my 32nd birthday. ♥

You're an All Star

There's nothing quite like a crisp new pair of Converse! I used to buy the All Star High Top sneakers in high school, so getting a new pair this week is a nice change from my typical low tops. Converse sent me over these shoes to review, and I must say that I will always love this classic style and design.

The Yellow Sweater

I've been living in this sweater and am ready to buy it in all the other colors! I posted it on Instagram last week and got a ton of questions — and I'm happy now to share that it is actually from Amazon! When I styled it with these shorts, I sort of folded it and tucked it into my bra for a cropped look. But normally I wear it with jeans ♥  Meanwhile, I'm getting all packed up for my road trip to Ohio for Thanksgiving. Are y'all traveling this year?

You've Got Nail 92 // September Scratch Box

I'm slowwwwwly getting caught up on these old nails posts! The September Scratch set was one of my recent favorites with its colorful florals and versatility. During the late summer, I went through a checkered nail phase and it pulled over into my September manicure. Click through to see the planning process and the sets!

Please get out to vote today — and vote with compassion! I'm happy to support intersectionality, feminism, equality, science, and the environment. ♡

AMA // I Got My Lips Tattooed

At the beginning of last month, I took the leap and had my lips tattooed. As a cosmetic tattooer, this was something I had been considering for quite a while — my natural lips are nearly the same color as my skin, so I was constantly wearing tinted lip gloss or lipstick just to avoid looking washed out. Even though I was curious about the procedure, I didn't personally know anyone who had it done. However, I had full trust in my friend Krystle Harte to do a great job since her portfolio was already full of great, natural lip tattoo results!

Corduroy

November is here! I'm loving my new Angie the Snake Gold Pendant necklace from local maker Michi's Workshop. Pairing this gold jewelry with a warm cord suit felt like the perfect way to spend the day.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, Minis! I hope you all have a safe and spooky day — meanwhile, Opal and I are over here reading some scary stories. (Psst: tomorrow is discount candy day!)
