hunter boot stylin'

One of the items on my wish list this year is a pair of Hunter Boot inserts! 

I love Uggs, but they just aren't practical when it snows out.

this year my family and I are taking a ski trip, and i'm going to need shoes to keep me warm and shoes that are also practical for wet and snowy conditions.

adding the inserts to your hunter books is the perfect solution! 

there are soo many different colors of boots to choose from, and there are even more insert colors and patterns to choose from! 

with all these options, you could either take a playful route or a practical route. 

pink, red, and black hunters are the ones that I see most often so i decided to show a playful and practical version for each shoe! 

 < PINK >

playful:

why not go all out with color on a rainy day?

pink and orange are super cute together and are guaranteed to brighten up your grey day

practical:

if you have a pair of pink boots then you probably like bright clothes,

adding a pair of neutral navy inserts is probably a smart way to go

practical :

red and white boots together are just so festive for the holidays,

a girl at my school had this combination and i was just obsessed

i swear if i could pick another pair of boots, i would go with red ones! 

playful:

honestly, all the inserts look great with red boots because the hunter logo on the inserts includes the little red border.

this isn't really that playful, but let's be honest, it's cute. 

playful:

cheetah. 

'nough said. 

but let's be honest, how cute is this combination? 

practical:

red and black go with everything! 

this cute sweater pattern adds a fun touch without going over board! 

it's perfect.

personally i have a platinum pair of hunters. I bought them in a super tiny boutique in new york city and i haven't seen them any where else! I can't even find them online. 

this pair below is the closets color i could find, but i'm almost positive that they're not the same. 

anyway, i think i'm going to ask for the black pair this year because they are super practical.

i might ask for white so i can wear navy with it, but still, i'm going the practical route! 

i have to be honest, writing this post has made me want every single color of hunters! 

they are all just so cute! 

what color rain boots do you have?

if you have hunters, what color insert do you have?

thanks for reading!

Nail Polish Addict

hi my name's chloe and i'm addicted to nail polish

"hi chloe" 

if any of ya'll know where i can find a nail polish anonymous group please let me know, because i have a huge addiction to nail polish!! it's bad! i can't  walk into a cvs or walgreens with out looking at / buying the new collections that are out. the only thing is that I'm a penny pincher, so every time i buy a nail polish that is bad quality or that i just don't like the color of, i get so mad! so ya'll don't have to go through the torment of buying a bad nail polish i've swatched four polishes that i was wary of buying, and showed you all the coats that i applied! 

1. essie's ballet slippers -- this color is very very light, but i am in love with it! my go to nail color is light pink and i own at least four different light pink polishes. i was kind of hesitant to buy it because i wasn't sure how sheer it would show up, but i am happy with it! although it is very sheer, i think it is perfect for me because i don't always like to have a "flashy" color on my nails.

2. OPI'S yodel me on my cell -- i received this polish as a gift, and i am so pleased with it! usually i wouldn't go for this polish, because like i said before i don't like "flashy" colors. this polish easily fits into my top five summer polishes though, because it is so beachy! i literally feel like a mermaid when i wear this polish, and it reminds me so much of the movie Aquamarine (if you haven't seen aquamarine, RENT IT NOW!! ). without further or due here are the swatches..

Sinful Color's snow me white -- i think white is one of the hardest colors to find that is actually opaque. in the bottle white nail polish always seems to look perfect so we end up buying it only to discover that it is sheerer than sheer. i was in need of a good white polish so i bough this sinful colors one a while back. i'm not sure if it's because it's old or if its just the actually polish, but it seems to have the consistency of WhiteOut (which is gloppy and crusty). although i don't like the consistency, the polish went on really opaque, even just on the first coat!

one and only coat

sinful colors pink-- neon nails are also a hard thing to purchase with out previously trying it out before. neon colors always look so vibrant in the bottle, and then when you go to put them on your nails it seems so much more washed out and see-through. i have been trying to find the perfect neon, and people always say to put a white coat under you nails before using a neon color. i decided to try it out and this is what it turned out like… 

first coat with white base

one coat without white base

i was so shocked with the color when i applied the pink over the white base!! 

thanks so much for reading! i hoped this help you with your nail polish collection, and let me know if you would like to see more swatches in the future!!
