Winter Shorts!

We LOVE tights and shorts this winter because it's a great way to pull  back out some of your summer favorites! Black nylons or opaque tights are the most versatile for this look, but don't be afraid to play around with patterned or colored stockings too. Try mixing denim, patterned, silk, sequined or leather shorts with boots for day and heels at night. This trend is a fun way to twist up your wardrobe, and with New Year's approaching, it's the perfect alternative to an LBD!

Holiday Dress Inspiration

 

It's the Christmas season which means it's the perfect time to pull off sparkle and sequins! We love holiday dresses that make a statement, and are obsessed with metallic, lace, and of course the classic...bright red! Wear them bare-legged or add a classic touch with black tights and heels.

Happy Holidays from Sweet Life!

Holiday Nail Idea: Half Moon Manicure!

DIY Half Moon Manicure


What you'll need:-Butter London nail laquer color pairing "Diamond Geezer" & Chimney Sweep." or-Butter London nail laquer color pairing "Old Bill" & "Knees Up."
-Basic hole reinforcers from Target or any office supply store.

 How to! 1. Start with fresh trimmed nails and paint with a base coat.(This is not an entirely neccessary step but it will help your polish last longer.)

2. Paint two coats of Butter London's "Diamond Geezer" or "Old Bill" on all nails (or whichever light shade you're choosing as your base color.)


3. After your base has dried completely, carefully apply a hole reinforcer at the cuticle of each nail. Place each reinforcer according to how big or small you want your "half moon" to be.


4. Paint the top half of each nail with your preffered dark shade. In our case we chose Butter London's "Chimney Sweep" for our silver scheme, and "Knees Up" for our gold scheme. Cover the tip of each hole reinforcer slightly but try not to cover it completely as this could complicate later steps.
 5. Once your dark coating has dried completely, carefully peel off each hole reinforcer SLOWLY.


6. Cover with a topcoat and let dry completely.

Voila! You now have a fabulous holiday half moon manicure!

 Happy painting!XOXO

White on Black

Black on black, on black. It's simple, to the point, and the most chic trick in the book! Every girl knows that while an all black ensemble is versatile for many occassions (not to mention slimming), it also gives off a very strong appearance. Lately however, I've been switching it up a bit. I'm really into contrasting patterns and colors against predominately black looks and am obsessed with a crisp white or striped blazer atop black jeans and heels! It's a new fun way keep a monochrome scheme while adding a new twist to a classic look!
