Fashion: Wardrobe Essential LBD

Good day everyone! I'm so proud of myself for keeping up with these posts! XD Anyways for today's post I'm doing a wardrobe essential, The LITTLE BLACK DRESS. Now this piece is a must have, I'm going to show you two different dresses one that's a little on the pricey side and another that won't break the bank. Both dresses are very classy and work for many different body types.

My two favorite little black dresses.


The two dress about are both supper flattering and are my favorite one's out of all my dresses. Can you guess which one was more expensive? 

The first one in the picture is a black dress with capped sleeves and cinches in at the waist creating a beautiful figure. The back of the dress (not shown) has a lower line and a tear drop cut out as well. This dress is in fact the cheaper one! This dress I purchased at H&M for only $40.00 and it's something that will never go out of style! What a buy!

The second dress in the picture, is a peplum style dress with a cutout fake lace look. I absolutely fell in love with this dress when I saw it and had to spend the extra cash to buy it. It's high neckline and short sleeves keep it classy and sophisticated but its tight shape and short hemline create a flirty and sexy look. This dress I purchased at Max & Co. for $200.00, although it was pricey it's something that I will keep for ever and pass down to my daughter (if I have one!) it's a gorgeous and well made dress.

DIY: Palm Tree Nail Art

Hey peeps! So for today's post I thought why not show you how to create a nail art design? I know it's fall and I probably should've done a leaves or pumpkin design but I couldn't stray away from my love of this super simple and super fun palm tree design! People will be sure to compliment you on this expert looking design, I've had some people ask where I got my nails done! This design is also perfect if your deciding to go away to a tropical destination during the next few cold months! Be sure to try this design, it is one of my all time favorites.

I did this design in less than 10 minuets! 


What You'll Need:
-Black nail art striper (I used one from the brand Kiss Nails)
-Any color light pink nail polish
-Any color orangey/pink nail polish
-Any color yellow nail polish
-Top and base coat (I recommend Sally Hanson Double Duty base & top coat nail polish, I love this one because it's 2 in 1.)

Step by Step:
1. Start by painting all your nails with the base coat.
2. Paint all your fingers the orangey/pink color, then do a second coat on all your nails except your thumbs.
3. On your thumbs take the light pink and paint the top half of your nail.
4. Then right on the line between the light pink and orangey/pink paint a yellow half moon shape. This will be the sun. LET DRY.
5. Next use your black striper and draw a straight line from the bottom to about a few millimetres from the top for the trunk. Then draw four lines off the top of the trunk, for the branch. Fill in the leaves by making the branch thicker and adding tiny little lines for the leaves. LET DRY.
6. Paint all your nails with your top coat, and volia your complete!

There you have it, a simple yet stunning nail art design to keep you warm during the cold months to come!
