objects in mirror are closer than they appear

 
 Boy's Lands End flannel, Something Else by Natalie Wood tee, Alexander Wang tank, Levi's jeans, boots from eBay a couple of years ago, jewelry - vintage, inherited, gifts from mom & Mister, Milani nail polish in Vintage

These photos were taken over the past 3 days. Just a motley crew of images.

My desk tends to welcome random squatters when I get a bit overwhelmed with work. Don't ask me how yogurt, Hi-Chew candy & nail polish managed to form a clique in the corner...I plead the 5th.

And lately I've been obsessed with neutral toned nail polish colors. It's hard to tell in these photos but I'm wearing a color that can only be described as beige. Beige...like khakis...well, more like Haagen-Dazs coffee ice cream. Yes, actually, exactly that color. It sorta lends a cadaver-like feel to my hands. That sounds a bit creepy but really it's kinda cool. Ok, maybe I should lay off Dexter for awhile.

Hi-chews are the best! I gotta admit the taupey nail polish trend has been growing on me so I don't thin it's creepy!

i love hi-chews, especially the mango flavored ones. it's like eating a real mango without the mess. haha

i've been on a skin toned nailpolish kick myself. i also add matte top coat which i'm head over heels for at the moment.
