Return to Blogging

I'm so sorry for having been MIA for so long. I try to reveal as little about myself as possible on the blog (in the hope of remaining anonymous) but because I've been gone for so long I figure I should let you all know why. I just graduated from law school and am currently studying for the bar exam. Studying for finals at the end of May, graduation, Bar prep courses, and now Bar studying have kept me preoccupied for the last few months and, sadly, have caused me to neglect the blog. I'm going to try to keep posting at least a couple times a week because I've really missed it!

Here are a few things I've been obsessing over while shopping online during my frequent study breaks:

I absolutely need these gold Tory Burch Revas. I've been trying to come up with my perfect bar exam outfit (well, outfits actually since the exam is a god-awful three days long) and these shoes must be a part of it.

I've been wanting a good pair of basic denim jeggings since last Christmas (as evidenced in this April post). I recently discovered these jeggings at the Gap and can't wait to get a pair!

And last but not least, nail polish! Studying for the Bar exam is beyond brutal. Everyday I sit for hours in the same chair, in the same room, reading, writing, and highlighting the most boring and tedious information imaginable (wow, drama queen much?!). Because I spend approximately 8 hours a day staring at my fingers, nail polish has become a very important little joy in my life. I recently placed an order with Essie and am most excited to receive Mink Muffs. After reading in the most recent Glamour that "greige" nails are the new "it" color for the Fall, I thought I'd better test drive the trend.

Pretty Polish

Lately, I've been compulsive about keeping my nails trimmed and polished. I used to be a habitual nail biter but recently stopped thanks to the temporary use of gel nails. When I used to bite my nails I never worried about keeping them polished (what's the point of polish when your nails look like they've been gnawed on by hungry puppies?!). Since kicking the biting habit, my nails have developed an addiction to Essie and haven't been without polish for more than a few hours. Recently, I've coated my nails with Essie's Lilacism, Mademoiselle (which I'm currently wearing), and Jazz. While out and about today, I saw a girl wearing the perfect color for spring/summer - Essie's Mint Candy Apple. This color is light enough to be worn in the spring but spunky enough to carry into summer. I can't wait to coat my toes in Mint Candy Apple at my next pedicure appointment. What's your favorite polish color for spring and summer?
