Styled by the Fashionista

I'm so excited to be partnering with Your Best Friend's Closet in Fairport.  Each week I will be styling a mannequin with my "Pick of the Week."  The good news for you:  if you buy the whole outfit you get it at 25% off and if you buy any piece of my look you receive that item at 15% off.  Fun huh?  So I get to play with clothes and you get to save money.  Win-win.

J Crew Jacket, Size 2 $16.99, Ann Taylor tank (brand new) Size M $8.99,
Guess Jeans size 28 $21.99, American Eagle Bag $7.99,

Brand New Etienne Aigner Bag with matching wallet, $74.99

Don't Hate Cuz Ya Aint (in Florida)

This morning I left the kiddo with grandma and grandpa and went to VIP Nails in Palm Coast for a glorious pedicure.  They need to open a salon in Rochester; they take their time (none of that get in and get out nonsense), have a friendly staff, and quite possibly the best massage chairs ever.  Oh and they only charge $25 for a pedi!!!!  Ah Florida, how I love thee, let me count the ways!  I keep asking myself why I don't live here, but alas that is not the point of today's post.  I want to talk about blue:  the top trending nail color for pedis this spring.  Since I was already wearing a blue dress, I thought what the heck, let's give it a whirl.

That's me wearing a blue maxi dress from Your Best Friend's Closet, thrifted bag,
American Eagle sandals,  Aldo sunglasses, Walmart hoop earrings, and a Movado watch.

Rochester friends, this is called sunshine.

And these are my very blue toes.
OPI Blue My Mind

I'm not sold.  I don't love it; don't hate it.  I'm apathetic.  I do think I would much prefer more of a navy.  Like Eva Mendes here:

Gorgeous!

What do you think?  Is blue polish a do or a don't?  And since VIP Nails is over 1,000 miles from home,  where is the best [read: cleanest] place to get a pedi for $30 or less in Rochester?  Ok...go!

Is it summer yet?

I am so ready for summer!  I was very unpleasantly surprised when I walked out of my house this morning without a jacket.  35 degrees?  Really Rochester?  I've had enough.

Enough of the clouds, enough of the cold, enough of my winter wardrobe!   I want to wear dresses!  Dresses instantly make you feel feminine and put together, and they are perfect for the style-impaired.  We are talking one piece, ladies.  How easy is it to throw on a maxi dress, sunglasses, some big earrings, and a pair of sandals?  No pesky layers.  No clunky boots.  No puffy coat to make you look 15 pounds heavier.  Just simple clean lines, airy fabrics, fun patterns, and instant style.  Now if only the weather would cooperate.

Lucky for me, I'll be in sunny Florida in less than two weeks, so despite chilly temperatures, I have ocean breezes, frozen cocktails, and summer style on my mind.  This morning, I went to one of my favorite places:  Your Best Friends Closet Consignment Boutique in Fairport.  The selection is wonderful, they get new merchandise constantly, carry top brands and designers, and have amazing prices.  Today I found two great maxi dresses and paid...wait for it... wait for it... $30 for BOTH of them!  They look brand new and are super comfortable.

How great will these look with a tan and a Mai Tai?  

If you haven't been to YBFC Boutique, you need to check them out.  It's a great place to shop, especially if you want fashion-forward, name brand clothing at a fraction of the retail price.
