Favorite 2014 Nail Trends: Pinks and Nudes

Few things make a woman feel more glamorous than a fresh mani! 

I've been letting my nails go au-natural for a few weeks to let them heal and can't wait to paint them up for this first time this year! BUT, the first mani of 2014 needs to be something special, right?

Nudes and Ballet pinks have been some of the best looks on the red carpet this year. Here are a few great ways to take these classic shades up a level:

Favorite Finds: Old Navy

While on a recent shopping adventure with Mama, I spotted a few REALLY cute dresses through the window of Old Navy and decided it was worth running in for a looksie.  Since Old Navy is not close to home, it is not a retailer I frequent.

As I learned, I have CLEARLY been missing out! 

Here is the ON Facebook's take on styling one of the dresses that caught my eye!

Love the white puffer vest as a pop of winter fun!

And here is my "work appropriate" way to wear the dress!

I paired it with a magenta belt (instead of the black one that came with it), a magenta and gold statement necklace, and nude flats!

One of my favorite things about the dress is that the material is heavy--perfect for winter weather! The medium weight poly blend is comfy and practical.

Among the other things I brought, here are some of my favorite finds from ON's current collection!

I love the pattern on the first cardigan--not to mention, it is AMAZINGLY comfy! I also love the black sequined sweater which reminds me of one of my favorite recent Taylor Swift looks. 

And, of course, all of these great items are currently available at Old Navy!

Which stores have you had a great shopping experience at recently?
