Nail Polish for Fall

So this afternoon I went to Ulta to get some new nail polish for fall. I was wearing Lady Like, a very neutral by Essie, but I wanted something a little darker as fall gets under way.

I found 3 shades that I really like and I'll wear a lot. At Ulta this week, until Saturday, October 5, they have buy 2 get one free on their Essie nail polish, among other sales.


Merino Cool: a sensuous autumn mulberry. Cutting edge glamour. Relentless beauty. This sensuous autumn mulberry nail polish is the very essence of style and the epitome of chic.



Bahama Mama: a warm, rich, creamy deep plum. Anytime is the right time for warm deep plum polish. Creamy and rich this tropical beauty works winter, spring, summer or fall – gorgeous is always in fashion.



Bond with Whomever: a posh lilac. London’s calling. Pick it up in this posh lilac nail polish and click with the cultured clique - here, there and everywhere.

Hello October!!!



Oh how I love October... The temperatures are dropping as fast as the leaves on the trees. The days are getting shorter. I have all my fall wardrobe pulled out and hanging neatly in my closet. I have just a few tops and pants to put away from my summer wardrobe.
 
 
Like the past few months, I have high expectations for October. By the end of the month I'll be a year older, so I want to make some really worth while changes in my life. I want a new out look on life and see things differently than I have in the past. I'm in my 30s. I'll be 32 at the end of the month, so I want a more mature look at things than someone in their 20s. But I think that's something that's just given when you get older with age. In my personal opinion, I feel that when you're in your 30s you have life more figured out, you have your stuff together and your more settled into life, that be either single or married, children or no children, while one who is in there 20s is starting and finishing college and thinking about marriage, a family and even just simply still figuring out who they are and who they want to be.
 
 
On a superficial side, I want my fashion, beauty and décor style to reflect a more mature side of me. So I think October 1st is a good time to start. I have to say this fall my wardrobe is more mature. I have richer hues of my favorite color, fuchsia and pinks, as well as black and I trade my summer whites for winter whites and creams. For beauty, I want to add a few golds and browns to my eye shadow collection for fall. Its something different for me. As for my hair, I have my signature hair style down, a nice chic bob with long bangs and just the right amount of layers. For decorating, I want more plush pillows on my bed and finish decorating my bathroom. I need to put my a shower curtain and some floor mats to then its soft and warmer on my feet than just the cold tile, especially in the winter, as that will be here before we know it.
 
 
So to kick off this new month, I'm going to breakfast with a long time friend, and off to the state fair with my mom. Its something the two of us have done together for years. Its always fun to see what's a the fair and I always get my staple at the fair, funnel cake, along with a few other goodies you can always find at the fair that I just can't live without and you can only find them at the fair.

Here are just some in general quotes you might enjoy.
