EASY WAY OUT TO MIXED METALS

One quick look into my jewelry box and you'll notice, I don't judge. I've got rose gold, silver, gold, brass - you name it. I'm all for mixing metals, but sometimes I don't know how to make them look cohesive all by myself. It always looks cute when I see someone layering different necklaces, but all I end up doing is taking half of them off midday!

My easy way out? I just find jewelry that's already done the mixing. And since I've now done the work for you, it's time to get shopping!

FAVORITO FRIDAY: BEST TOP COAT

A decent top coat is a necessity in any girl's life. I've been through my share of different brands, but to find one that actually works and doesn't contain harmful ingredients isn't an easy feat. Until now! 

Meet Deborah Lippmann's Addicted to Speed ultra quick-dry top coat!

Also wearing Deborah Lippman's Fade to Black and Bonnie Jonas Midi Rings ($12.00 at Nordstrom).

I'm not letting my bias for Deborah Lippmann nail colors get in the way, I truly love this top coat. At 20 bucks a pop, it seems a little steep for a top coat, but it's worth every penny. I'm a visual merchandiser, so I'm working with my hands all day and I'm lucky if my nails don't chip before lunch. One quick coat and you're out of the door and you won't have to retouch for days. Pretty sure this is better than any trip to the nail salon (unless you're doing gel, and of course DL has that too). 

What's your favorite top coat?
