COLORS TO FALL FOR

Fall is the perfect season to switch up and clean out your nail polish collection. It’s also the best excuse for trying out a dark nail color or a textured nail color, and think outside of the box. It’s the most playful nail color season if you ask me. Thanks to the big timer’s like Marc Jacobs and Chanel, we now have even wackier colors on the trend radar that I can’t get enough of. So let’s shop, paint and play in fall’s best colors.

ESSIE PINK | ESSIE BLUE | ESSIE GREEN

JULEP PURPLE | JULEP SPARKLE

CHANEL RED | CHANEL PINK | CHANEL BLACK | CHANEL TURQ

MARC JACOBS WINE | MARC JABOS LIME

OPI GELATO SHIMMER | OPI PINK | OPI GREAT OPERA | OPI RED

Summer Braid Game

HAIR CHALLENGE

This summer I’ve challenged myself to learn 10 braid hairstyles (it’s a bit harder than it looks)! So far, I’ve tackled 6 new tricks and I’m excited to learn the next 4. Helping me out on this braid adventure are several famous YouTubers and Pinterest pros. I could not go this challenge alone. My ultimate goal is to video tutorials for each style to share with all of you. Let me know which one you’d like to see first. In the meantime (meaning I have to figure out this whole video thing) check out my braid adventures on Instagram @LexWhatWear. Plus I’m letting you, my readers, pick which braid style I try next. Take a look at the braids below and let me know which one you’re loving!

Spring Nails

My Color Guide

For The Perfect Spring Mani

I must confess, I am nail polished obsessed. I try to take cue from my gal pal Jackie at Living After Midnight, but I just can’t seem to get this nail art thing down. So once a week, I take a 30 minute break to myself to have my nails polished and prepped for the weekend ahead. As of late I’ve noticed that I tend to lean towards subtle, soft pastel colors. I am even liking greens this season. So I figured I’d share my favorite spring colors (as of now) and of course I will share more favorites as the season progresses. I’ve linked to all of these colors (or similar ones) below.

PS – don’t forget you have until midnight to shop the SHOPBOP Friends & Family Sale for 25% OFF with code: SPRING25. Just click the picture at the bottom of today’s post!

All About That Braid

The Hit Of Spring

Braid Trends Talk

Lately I’ve been studying the braid, trying to nail down a few tricks to work into my morning routine. I’ve found that it’s easier for me to braid someone else’s hair rather than my own, so I’ve had a few learning curves as I perfect the ‘braids of spring’. Below are a few braid tutorials I’ve been attempting, and a few gorgeous gals and their braids for inspiration. Fingers crossed I can soon share my own braids, once they are photo shoot worthy of course. Let’s braid y’all!
