I Thought I Loved You But It’s Just How You Looked In The Light

My words are my faith
To hell with our good name
One day we’ll get nostalgic for disaster

I’ll Take You In Pieces, We Can Take it All Apart

WOW it’s been a crazy day! If you follow me on InstaGram (@EffortlessCoolSahra) you’d have noticed that I was at work bright and early, narrowly avoided a fatal car accident, had a court hearing, ate lots of deliciousness, and a doctor’s appointment; all before the 90210 Season Finale. WOAH, right?

Nails Of The Week: Pastel Drips

20120429-122451.jpg

Did these nails for the week! Started with ‘Licorice’ by Esse base (two coats) then used a bobby pin a la my blood drip nails tutorial to great drips in ‘Waterlily’ by Dior. Once that dried I created drips with ‘She’s Picture Perfect’ by Esse. And voila! Pastel drippy nails that almost remind me of ice cream!

A Lesson in Pastels

pas·tel

1    [pa-stel; especially Brit. pas-tl]

noun 1. a color having a soft, subdued shade

IFB Project #37 is all about spring and pastels. I’m lucky I just bought that perfect lilac jacket yesterday! Also, going through the entries on the main page, I realize not everyone understands pastel. I mean, not every fashion blogger went to school for fashion like I did, but I still feel it important to understand your passions. So this post, an outfit post, will also include a little information about pastels, and a glimpse into those pastel pieces of my wardrobe.

A pastel, as noted above, is a soft subdued shade. A lighter hue of a COLOR. This includes lilacs, soft pinks, baby blues, mints, white, et cetera. Which are all COLORS mixed mostly of white, if we’re talking about acrylic paints. This does not include bright pinks or neutral hues of basic colors.

Pastels:

Bullhead jeans from PacSun

WetSeal tank

Thrifted heels and jacket

DIY top

Justice skirt

Dior “Waterlily” (Giveaway HERE!)

Esse “She’s Picture Perfect”

NOT Pastels:

Delia’s tank

skirt from PacSun

Thrifted jacket

Converse sneakers

I hope this has cleared up any confusion in the blogosphere. Back to pastels, stay tuned for a post of my inspirations for my trip to Costa Rica next week; plenty of pastels will be packed!

Nails of The Week: Ombre

Quick little post of my nails for this week! Used a Forever 21 light mauve purple base and then Esse’s “Wicked” for the second layer.

It could be neater but I don’t mind a little mess.
