It’s the most obsession worthy kind of top around. And they are really really reheheheeally fun & flattering.

Beach Beauty: Confetti nails

I really should call this ADD nails, because I started off doing polka dots, then four different colors of dots later…voila, confetti nails.

The good thing is it’s super easy, and really doesn’t take long at all to do, and is fine if you are messy or don’t have a steady hand.

DIY Confetti Nails:

1: Paint base coat and a layer of clear or sheer pink polish.

2: Using a homemade dotting tool (I like to push a push pin into a pencil eraser) dip the dotting tool in your first color polish and put 4-5 polka dots on each nail in your first color in no specific pattern.

3. Repeat step 2 with as many other colors as you want. I cut myself off after 4.

4. Let polish dry and paint on glossy topcoat.

5. Enjoy! An added bonus of this is…if it chips, it really doesn’t show. Hallelujah.  

Inlove with some Indah.

Indah. Beautiful clothes for happy people. Well, their beautiful clothes make me a very happy person. The scrumptious line that’s made in Bali seriously could be your go-to line for anything beach. We’re talking bikinis, cover-ups, dresses (that can be dressed up or down) everyday shorts, beach bags and really anything that can be worn on or anywhere remotely near a beach.

Here are a handful of pieces that you could live, work and play in all through Spring, Summer, your next vacation, or imaginary trip to Bali…

Posh Pua. Easy Island ‘Kinis.

Sometimes, a line…just gets it. Gets it, meaning, the look, feel, simplicity, and image is as perfectly Hawaiian beach babe as it gets. Such is the case with Posh Pua.

Designer Julie Stone is a wife, mother of 2 boys, and also the Einstein of bikini craftsmanship. After learning to sew from her mom when she was little, Julie has been making bikinis ever since, having the perfect fitting bikini as her ultimate goal. (Yes, trial and error and children’s department shopping was involved in the research.) Well we all should write Julie a thank you note for all of her work, because there is a line for perfect fitting, supportive, non-cutting-in, tiny, can be worn surfing, and never gives you a muffin top, not too expensive, amazing, go-to bikinis. Phew!
