Have you heard about Print All Over Me? I just discovered it last week, and I have to say, it's one of the most amazing business ideas I've ever seen.

You upload your very own photographs to serve as the print on the blank clothing items & accessories they have available. I uploaded this photo I took in Berlin onto a simple sundress, and I have to say, I'm kind of in love with it. This isn't a cheap investment, but just another expression of that old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Or a thousand dresses. Or tank tops. Or shorts.

The best part? Anyone can buy and wear your design! A fast track to fashion designer fame.

what to wear on the 4th

If you're anything like me, you've been asking yourself this question for a while: "What should I wear this year on the 4th of July?"

i get excited about any holiday, but especially those with a well-known color theme involved. I'm always thinking about how I can color coordinate myself with the upcoming festivity without feeling overly cheesy. Although sometimes—most times?—there's definitely a lot of overlap, it's fun to be a little predictable and cheesy sometimes, amiright?

Here's what I picked out for the 4th of July this year—on my imaginary wish list:

white ruffle tee / blue & white striped shorts / essie clambake / essie marshmallow / essie butler please / red sunnies / red & white scarf / blue tie dye dress / red saltwater sandals / america the beautiful tee / denim shorts / red & blue kate spade keds

summer colors

Summer is nothing if it's not all about the brightest and cheeriest nail polishes. That's what I say anyway, which is just one reason that I change mine up almost weekly (if not, er, daily). Through extensive trial and error research—and some collaboration with friends—I've found the perfect way to give myself an at-home manicure and pedicure with the fastest drying top coat you'll ever find. I did all the grunt work on this, just take my word for it.

So what's the color du jour? Be my guest.

nails: Essie Bikini So Teeny
toes: Essie Come Here (on sale for $0.13 right now!?)

The best top coat known to man? Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Nail Coat. 

Enjoy your new beautiful, cheery nails!
