Mod Men.

I know Mad Men has been all the rage for years now but I finally started watching the show and I gotta say, I love it. The storyline is good but the fashion is amazing. I love watching the styles change through the years and Megan Draper’s mod fashion sense has caught my eye.

Mod-1

(Simple color blocking is the easiest way to pull off a Mod look)

Mod-2

(Black and white looks good on everyone)

Mod-3(Shoes from Charlotte Russe)

Mod-4(The ultimate Mod designer, Kate Spade. I am obsessed with everything by her)

Mod-6

(A thick hairband pulls the entire look together)

Mod-5

I love the classic look of a black and white mini dress, it’s easy to put together and looks good any day of the week.

Military Mod

IMG_7531There is something so fun about mixing masculine and feminine pieces.  I picked up this jacket from, surprise surprise, Forever21 for some upcoming trips and I absolutely love it.  Since the weather has been so unpredictable, I wanted a jacket that I could wear in any weather.  This jacket has the right amount of pockets for all the things I grab running out the door in the early hours of the morning heading to work and it has a hood in case the rain starts falling unexpectedly.

Nail Art – Sticker Edition

The new rage in nail art is stickers that can last up to 2 weeks on your nail. They are awesome because they don’t chip or damage your nail. I decided to give one a try after finding a sticker that I didn’t think was too loud.

(Brittany gave these a try from Forever 21, they were only $1.80!)

(They look pretty good! And they have some tiny rhinestones in them to add texture)

All in all, we are digging the stickers! So far it has been 6 days and they have yet to chip or flake! That is more than I can say for some of the professional manicures I have gotten. Some don’t last more than 6 hours!
