It's Sandal Season...






So you just bought the most darling sandals, and you can wait to put them on and show them off. But wait a second Miss Fashionista! Take a look at those toes! Are they sandal ready? Nothing ruins a new pair of faux python gladiators like ragged cuticles and chipped polish from April. Swipe on a couple coats of summer's hottest hues and you're ready to don your new shoes with pride.






Perfect for any skintone, try one of these colors from the Mermaid in the Shade collection from Sephora by OPI.








Right on point with this season's neon trend, Essie offers their new Neon collection. If you're feeling brave, try the Funky Limelight. If highlighter yellow isn't your thing, try the Punchy Pink (far right.) Whichever shade you choose, you are sure to get compliments.





If "Look at me!" nail polish isn't for you, try a shade from OPI's new Fairytale Bride Collection. Each whisper-soft hue is flattering for every skintone, and as an added plus, chips are much less noticable with nude colors.

Now go show off those hot new sandals!

Gag me With a Spoon!








As any true fashionista would know, certain trends re-occur every ten years or so. If you are the girl who hasn't thrown out her acid washed jeans from 1986, you are in luck. How do you feel about the comeback of the era of decadence? Have you broken out your stash of scrunchies and laced up your new pair of high tops? Or do you think some girls are just still high on Aqua Net and need to come back to 2009?





Aren't these sugary-sweet high tops irresistable? Perfect for the fashionista on a budget-only $29.99 from http://www.modcloth.com/.






A grownup version of the plastic watches we loved to wear as children! These hot Adidas watches come in EIGHT yummy flavors, and are $60.00 at www.shopkitson.com.


This amazing Balmain jacket is at the top of my wishlist. Just enough padding in the shoulders to make a statement, but far from anything you'd see on Golden Girls. With crystal embellished detailing, it's perfect for layering over a white tee for day, or a sexy little dress for night.
