Rainy days and Fedoras
I love wearing a cute hat when the weather is rainy. Your hair is going to get messed up anyway. So do a low side pony, put on some cute earrings, and a fedora and you're good for the day. The hat helps keep your hair from getting wet, can eliminate a bad hair day, and adds a stylish touch. Love it! I wore this fedora with a baggy sweater and some skinnies. So comfy!
Stylish Girl App - best way to stay stylish!
Okay all you Apple owners. I found an app this summer that I absolutely love, and every girl needs it! It's called Stylish Girl, and it does so many things! This app is also free, except for the calendar which you don't have to have. I think Androids have an app similar to this as well.
First off you build your closet by taking pictures of items you own. This is the most time consuming part, but I love getting organized and it's so worth it! You divide up the items by top, dress, bottoms, shoes, or accessories. Then there is subcategories you put them in. Like always buy earrings and lose them and forget what you have? Well now you can see all of the inventory you have, and hopefully keep track better! This is a wonderful way to know exactly every piece you have at a glance.
The second step is to build your outfits with what you have in your closet. You can keep track of all your different outfits and categorize them in dressy, casual, and etc. If you have a date night you can see all your outfits to choose from for that. Need sunglasses to go with a certain outfit? Click on accessories and then sunglasses and you can choose from what you have. This lets you build more of a complete outfit because all your pieces are at your fingertips. I love going through and looking at all the different outfits I have, and I love just building all different outfits with my pieces! This app really opens your eyes to what's in your closet!
It has a calendar as well. For the full calendar it's $1.99, but you can mark the outfits you wear on a certain day. Great for keeping up with what is worn. With the full calendar you can make notes and go through and see a visual of all the different outfits worn.
I like this app also because if there is a certain trend you want to wear, like fur boots, you can select the fur boots, click the magnifying glass, and it will show you all the different outfits in your wardrobe with those boots. You can also make tags. If you have multiple pairs of fur boots, you can make a tag of that in all the different outfits that have some. That way when you want to wear some, or love the trend and you want to plan out your outfits, just search the tag, and select the days you'll wear what, or just see which one you'll wear today.
Can definitely mix and match more and more efficiently with this app, keep track of outfits you haven't worn yet, keep track of all your items, pack a suitcase, and just use your closet to the fullest. I am in LOVE with this app. Their are so many different things you can do. I could talk about it forever, but seriously download it and start building your outfits. You won't regret it!

Ruffles and a little lace for Thanksgiving
I got this pretty ruffle cardigan from Victoria's Secret. I love the color of it for Thanksgiving, and love the feminine ruffles. Paired with this camisole with lace on top (also from VS) and some brown boots, the look is perfect! Comfy and casual dressy for Thanksgiving. I want to see the other colors they have in this ruffle cardigan and get another for the Holidays.

Excuse Moi
I am in love with OPI Muppets Collection. I had to blog about this one as well. Also, some other ones will get blogged about for December. My favorite collection so far. I may have to snatch up all of them.
Here is Excuse Moi. In the promo pics this polish did not look too impressive to me. However, in the store when I saw it, I thought it was one of the prettiest in the entire collection! Also, thinking I'll have to break out this polish for February. It's a pretty pink with fine mixed glitter spots throughout. Very different than anything I've seen and definitely a stand out in my collection. I LOVE Katy Perry's Teenage Dream as well. This comes in as a close tie. However, this one is a bit more festive so perfect for the holiday season.
As opposed to other glitters this one went on pretty thick. You can get two coats out of it, but I used three to get the desired sparkle effect I wanted.
I put up some close up pics so you can see the individual glitter. Check out the pics, and when you are feeling girly and festive this is definitely the polish to paint on!

November/Thanksgiving Polish
The nail polish that is perfect for the month of November is OPI's Warm and Fozzie from their Muppets Collection. First off, this collection is wonderful! Every color is a must have for me! I wasn't too impressed with their Touring America Collection, but they really hit the nail on the head with Muppets and also with the Miss Universe Collection. Be sure to check out the great holiday colors in Muppets!
Warm and Fozzie was recognized by Glamour as being the polish for November, and I have to agree. It has that brown color that reminds you of Thanksgiving, and also has tons of sparkle. Warm and Fozzie is not a straight glitter, but it almost looks like it on the nail. Very pretty, pretty color for going into the Holiday season. I am wearing it on my nails now, and most definitely through Thanksgiving.
For November I have been wearing deeper polishes of course, and more on the berry side. Another one from the Muppets I like for November is Pepe's Purple Passion. Very dark berry color with a hint of sparkle.
I tried Get in the Expresso Lane from Touring. I wasn't too impressed. I thought it had more of a brown tint. In the sunlight you can see it has a green tint. I'm just not feeling it. I already have some like that so I will be exchanging it.
That's all my thoughts for November polishes. Warm and Fozzie wins hands down. You definitely have to try it. It looks beautiful on nails!
