OPI Red Ombre Nails

Ombre nails are on trend with celebs like Lauren Conrad and I am loving the look! I have been obsessed with the ombre look since about 2002 - I'll never forget when this girl came into school with this blue shirt that faded from dark to light and I thought it was the cutest thing I had ever seen. (Clearly if I can remember a shirt that a specific girl wore almost 10 years later...)

Anyhow, I also love the look on hair ( a la Giuliana Rancic...) but my hairdresser says that I'm too blonde to make it happen, so I had to settle for the Ombre on my nails. I went with an all OPI gel manicure in red shades, but you can do this with almost any color. Next time I think I'm going to try purple.

Here is the results along with some OOTD pics. Enjoy ladies! :)

Top - Francesca's

Yellow Denim - Hurley

Shoes - Pinkberry from DSW years ago

Belt - H&M

Watch - Marc by Marc Jacobs

Fox Ring & Bangle Set - Mary and Dyer

Hope you all like! This look is so easy to do and so fun!! All you need is 5 polishes in the same color family and then shade them from light to dark. It's also a great way to get use out of all of your colors and to justify those nail polish hauls ;)

Have a great night loves!

Blessings,

Kat

Watch me Kopy Kim Kardashian's Klothes!

In honor of Kim's wedding that is happening tonight, I decided to imitate a few of Kim's looks.

I will never have Kim's perfect curves. Or her shiny black hair. Or her flawless olive skin. Or her $10 million dollar wedding.

But, I can pretend to have outfits in my closet that are like hers.

And here are some:

(On me, above)      

Top - Guess

Jeans - Charlotte Russe

Belt - Voom by Joy Han

Shoes - Nine West

Sunglasses - Burberry

Bag - Marshalls a million years ago

(On me, Above)

Vest - H&M

Tank - H&M

Leggings - 6126 by Lindsay Lohan

Boots - G by Guess

Clutch - Coach

Silver Hoops - Brighton

Sunglasses - RayBan

(On me, Above)

Denim 'Vest' - H&M

Tank - H&M

Leggings - !IT

Black Ankle Booties - Shoedazzle

Dress - Kenneth Cole

Shirt - Ralph Lauren Slim Fit

White Jeans - 7 for all Mankind

Purse - Coach Poppy

Nude Pumps - Shoe Dazzle

So, there you have it. My sad, sad attempt to be like Kim K for a night - if only in the spirit of fashion...

Congrats to Kim! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Blessings,

Kat
