Refurbished Earrings

I have a lot of old earrings that are either worn out or out-dated so thought I would freshen them up with a little paint job.

I grabbed the below earrings and thought, I haven't worn these in forever so I must not like them anymore, I shall paint them. I sat there for a day or two wondering what color to paint them. I had my big bin of nail polish out on my counter and happened to look down and BAM there is was looking at me, the perfect color to do them in was looking right at me. I  think I got pretty lucky on this one because of the crevasses on the metal, it turned out to make the earrings look kind of vintagy, don't you think? Super fun! I used a matte green color from Nordstrom.

New Sweater

It has been a while for a fashion post, too long! Since my beloved Sara, who I normally do fashion pictures with, is now living the fab life in SoCal, I have not had many chances for a friend to do a few fashion photoshoots.

Not to worry though, I now have a brand new camera and a tripod so I can document my outfits all by myself!! Sorry, the scenery will not be as fun as the Portland outdoor scenes as before, I will probably be doing this in the comforts of my home. I am not comfortable running around Portland with my tripod taking shots of myself looking like a crazy person running back and forth back and forth to the camera to make sure it came out ok ;D

New Shoes

For some reason it seems like forever since I have gotten new shoes but in reality it has been about 2 weeks, Hi my name is Nicole and I am a Shoeaholic. For x-mas my Secret Santa got my present a little late so when I got back home to Portland the shoes he ordered me for x-mas were waiting at my door. At first I was like bummer, I have to wait another week and a half to get them but now I kind of liked it because then it is like x-mas again in January!! Who doesn't like that?! Not only did I get the below shoes from Santa, but also got a pair of tan wedge booties!!

Sun Makes Me Happy

I am back home in San Jose California for a few weeks and couldn't be happier. The sun has been shining bright for me and is leaving me with a permanent smile on my face. It feels so good to have the sun warming your body instead of the cold making me a popsicle. I forgot how nice Fall is down here. =)
