OOTD Today...

Ok please don't mind the look on my face. This far along in pregnancy you have to concentrate really hard lol.

Ok so for this look I followed more of my everyday style. All little dressy and a little casual. There isn't a shot of the shoes because well, they're missing a much needed accessory and I can't figure out which one I want.

Open Drape Front Cardigan: Loft Outlet 2 years ago.

Silver blouse: Loft hand me down

Brown maternity pants: Motherhood Maternity October

Necklace: Payless on Clearance

Bracelet: Pandora customized by my husband

Manicure: 

Base Coat: Sally Hansen's Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat found at local drug stores.

Base color: Nicole by Julep

Accent Color: Power Clutch by Essie

Top Coat: Sally Hansen's Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat

First I applied a coat of the base/top coat. Let dry for a minute. The I applied two coats of Nicole by Julep. Let dry for about a minute. Then careful I swiped or dragged Power Clutch by Essie across the far corner of the nail. Aim for a little below mid nail and drag in a diagonal direction. Finish with a coat of your top coat and let dry completely for about 30 minutes.

Birchbox, Julep and Essie

Today has finally come. I have been waiting with anticipation since November 10th!!! My Birchbox with all it's little goodies has finally arrived in my mailbox. Two days ago I was graced with the appearance of my Julep Maven package as well. I also purchased my first ever bottle of Essie nail polish(which I still have yet to use). It's like receiving Godiva Chocolates once a month!! What I love about these services is that they are informative, trend keeping and most of all affordable!!! Birchbox is just $10 a month for some of the hottest and money worthy samples of the season/year. Julep is all about mani's and pedi's. And they're fee is only $20 but you get three full sized products and a couple of samples to try which is uber amazing!! And Essie is well, amazing nail color that I can go buy at Walmart if I so desire lol.

Inside my Birchbox:

Show Stoppers: Two black miracle strips to help keep you in place when your clothing can't.

EBOOST: A daily health booster. You just add to water and stir and you're all set to go. It has vitamins, minerals and super nutrients to help get you through your day. There is no sugar, artificial flavors and it's very low in calories only 5!

Ageless: A parfum from Harvey Prince

Orofluido: A beauty elixir for your hair. Just add a few drops in your hands, rub throughout damp hair. Don't rinse and you're all set!

Jouer: Conditioning Lipgloss in Birchbox Pink. Made Exclusively for Birchbox

The Pore-fessional: This is a Pro balm to minimize the appearance of pores

Inside my Julep Maven box:

I was thrilled to receive this. Not just because of the full sized products but because I love nail polish!! It makes me feel so pampered!! 

On the left: Nail Color- Nicole a deep shimmery red color. Comes out in a cranberry hue. I think it's divine!

Nail Color: Whiteney- a nude color that will compliment pretty much every color and outfit out there

Julep Facial for Hands: Glycolic Hand Scrub- I used this and loved every bit of it!! This coupled with the Everyday SPF Hand Cream makes your hands so silky smooth you'll want to rub them on your face for hours lol.

My First Essie Nail Color!!!

Power Clutch is from the 2011 Fall/Winter line
