*NSYNC Has a "New" Album

Lalalalalalalaaaaaaa. Sorry, I'm just extremely excited because: *NSYNC IS FEATURED ON ITUNES' MUSIC HOMEPAGE. Although I'm a Backstreet Boys girl (Nick Carter 4ever), *NSYNC was (and is) a close second and any mention of either (obviously) gets me extremely excited.

Anyways, they have a featured "new" album release, titled The Essential NSYNC, that has the essential (hehe) NSYNC songs. Tearin' Up My Heart, Bye Bye Bye (insert hand dance), It's Gonna Be Me (insert JT May meme), Pop... need I go on?

Thirty-four songs featuring the angelic voice of JT (and Joey... I was a Joey girl for whatever reason), and the others for only $14.99. Like. That would buy my happiness and cause multiple window-down-music-blasting-"singing"-at-the-top-of-my-lungs sessions.

Going down memory lane now.

Bye, bye, bye.

Wish List Wednesday: Christian Louboutin Nail Polish

As a lover of shoes and manicures, you can imagine how excited I was to hear about the announcement of Christian Louboutin's new nail polish. Inspired by the signature red soles of his shoes, Classic Red is set to be released mid-September at the (in my opinion) high price of $50 and is available for pre-order now.

Will you be splurging on this lustrous red?

The bottle design was inspired by the Ballerina Ultima

National Lipstick Day

Happy National Lipstick Day everybody! In honor today's great holiday, I wore Mac's Lip Pencil in Cherry... as my lipstick. (So not really proper celebration of National Lipstick Day, but whatevs.) Since it's not a proper lipstick, it's obviously very dry, so I put Sephora's Ultra Shine Lip Gloss, in Shiny Totally Lucid, over it for super shininess. Side note: it does bleed after a while because of the gloss. Perhaps if a balm or different gloss was used it wouldn't, but that's a test for another day.

What color did you rock for National Lipstick Day?


Tunes Tuesday: "Ghost" by Halsey

One of my current song obsessions is "Ghost" by Halsey. I heard it on my Sirius radio and have been hooked. I love her voice and the beat of it and can't wait for her to release more things! (Reminds me a bit of Lorde, no?)

*I couldn't find a video of the actual song (besides a remix), but it's available on iTunes (and only 99 cents)!


Acoustic version (also amazing):

Manicure Monday: Simple and Chic with Dior

For my birthday, my boss gave me some Dior nail polishes and I'm absolutely addicted. They go on so nicely and smooth and the brush is fantastic! They surprisingly also last quite a while without any chips! I've had it on for five days so far and all I have is minimal wear at my tips! The color I have on is Wonderland #575 and is coral.

Pants (background): Catherine Catherine Malandrino, available at Saks Off 5th
Chain Ring: BP, available at Nordstrom

The pants are super comfy and can be dressed up or down. I wore mine with coral heels and a navy top for work, but they'd also be cute with sandals and a white t-shirt. The ring is also versatile, as it can be worn on two different fingers, like I have, to give it a sort of draping, or just on one finger, as it typically is worn.

Wish List Wednesday: Catbird & Jennifer Fisher x J. Crew

So. This has obviously been neglected and I'm so upset that it's been over five months since I've last posted. I really wanted to stick to this and I've just let other things get in the way and blah blah. So what's a great thing to add to a blog I barely write on? Another alliteration day, of course! Time for "Wish List Wednesday."

It was just released today that Catbird and Jennifer Fisher (two of my favorite jewelry brands), have both partnered with J. Crew to sell several of their pieces. The Catbird Lovecat Ring (avail for pre-order) and the Jennifer Fisher Gold Mini-Star Charm were both created exclusively for J. Crew.

The pieces on my wish list? Catbird's Diamond Baguette Ring and Jennifer Fisher's Gold Octagon Letter Tag, though no R is available (boo).

Which pieces are on your wish list?
14K Diamond Baguette Ring, $320
10K Gold Octagon Letter Tag, $625
