Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Today marked the beginning of my second-to-last week of interning. I can't believe how fast it has gone. As my last day approaches, I'm starting to look forward to going home to Ohio. I haven't been home for longer than a few days since December, so it will be nice to catch up with my old friends from high school and spend some much-needed time with family. Until then, I'm just trying to enjoy my last days here in the city.

Occasion: Work
What I'm wearing: J.Crew Outlet ruffle tee, Jodi Arnold for the Limited skirt, Macy's pearl-drop earrings, Vintage ring via Talk of the Town (gifted), Essie Fiji nail polish

Yesterday was Sunday, so I painted my nails and tried out my new Essie polish. Overall, I think I like the color. Its lighter than what I usually wear, but its growing on me. Its already chipping a little, so OPI will probably remain my favorite because of how long it tends to hold up. I feel so-so about this outfit; its kind of plain. I feel like these last two weeks I need to bust out some trendier outfits since this is New York City, after all. We will see what I can come up with...

You Can Never Have Enough Nail Polish

After professing my undying love for Anthropologie in yesterday's post, today I decided it would be fitting to wear my one dress from there. This dress and a pair of jeans are surprisingly the only things I have ever bought from Anthro. Whenever I go in there, I usually browse around a little but walk out empty-handed because of the prices. Some people have extraordinary luck with their sales rack, like Kendi, but I have never experienced such luck. I'm much better at navigating the J.Crew sales- now that is something I am definitely good at.

In other news, I bought my first bottle of Essie nail polish today. I am a devoted OPI fan, so this is quite the departure for me. I never can keep up with what makeup trends are in or out, but I always follow what the "it" colors of the season are for nail polish. I can always come up with excuses to buy more bottles of OPI; you can never have enough nail polish, right? Its funny because up until this summer, I hardly ever painted my own nails. I don't have a very steady hand but I love having painted nails, so I would always buy new bottles of polish and then have them sit around until someone else was willing to paint my nails for me. When I got to NYC, I decided this method was no longer going to fly. I bought a Sally Hansen manicure clean-up pen (basically a nail polish remover pen that is a godsend) and have gotten much better at doing my nails on my own. Every Sunday night before the new workweek starts, I paint my nails. I have made it a part of my routine, and I kind of like it. This Sunday I will be trying out my new Essie color, Fiji.

I am also currently on the lookout for a baby blue or periwinkle color. If anyone has any suggestions or have seen something similar, let me know. What is your favorite nail polish brand/color?
