Monica's Summer Style Guide

I wanted to post some affordable summer must haves so I chose to revolve this look around a leopard print byCORPUS dress from Urban Outfitters because it is fun and flirty. I decided to layer it with a vintage denim cropped jacket to give it more of that effortless SoCal vibe. When it came to accessories I picked a great vintage inspired gold chain necklace that I loved and would be a great investment piece for any wardrobe. This amazing chunky menswear watch by Freelook is one of my favorites because I love oversized watches, especially the ones that look like they were borrowed from your dad!
I thought a vintage inspired purse with a long strap added a casual chic element to the outfit. This Rough Justice "Niki" wedge is my favorite because I LOVE all the buckles! These Forever 21 glasses remind me of a pair of Raybans I have that I wear with almost everything. The rings add a bit edge to your girly look and I decided to go with a yellow polish this week to pop color into the overall look.

New Nail Polish Trends For Fall

There is one thing my clients ask me once a week and that is "what color should I paint my nails?"
It is actually important that their nails coordinate with the wardrobe choices we have planned for the week.
I was into hot pink a few months back but after previewing the FAB clothing that is coming out for fall, I can't help but to think ahead. These are some great new nail polish trends to look out for.
It's all about metallic shades, dip-dyed tips and matte nail polish. Just remember to skip the top coat!
