What a stunningly beautiful fall day here at the Jersey Shore.  I couldn't have had a better day.  I went to brunch with my dad in the morning and then Bricktoberfest in my town afterwards.  How are you welcoming the fall weather in your town?  Send me a tweet.  Thanks for reading!

Haute Hand Chain!

I don't think I can explain the lo0o0o0ove I have for this.  I have been seeing hand chains all over lately and I just had to get one for myself.  I wasn't sure how it was going to look on me so I didn't want to pay a ton for one of them, but I wanted to give it a shot anywhere.  

So with that in mind, I headed right on over to trusty Forever 21.  I was thinking about purchasing one there because I knew I was going to be able to purchase one for less expensive, but I also was concerned about it lasting and not breaking.  Also, about it changing my hand different colors (especially because I am constantly putting lotions and hand sanitizers on my hands throughout the day, which is surprisingly not impossible with this).  

The first hand chain that I actually purchased from Forever 21 DID BREAK.  I was so upset, but I was cracking my knuckles and bending my hands awkwardly, basically because something weird was on my hand.  It was almost the same sensation as if you had just read a story about bugs and you feel like there are bugs all around you.  I know you know what I mean.  

This didn't keep me from going back to Forever 21 and changing it for another one.  The sales associate told me though that, 'We don't normally return jewelry.. ummmm.. but you can get another one, i'll allow it this time.'  I was like um, okay.  It's not like I was asking her for a refund, I just wanted another bracelet that I bought that broke about four hours after me wearing it.  Not too sure it was a great choice to get another one from there, but I knew they weren't going to give me a refund so get another one I did!  Needless to say, it IS still kickin', so that makes me happy. I got it for $4.80.

Here is a little more of a close up on the details.  Another thing I noticed about these hand chains is that too many of them in the store have all of these obnoxious rhinestones and gross designs and I wanted something super simple.  I would almost be even happier with this if it didn't have the gold bar at the bottom, if it was just chain.  I really just like everything subtle but I guess it just depends on your style.  If you're curious, my nail polish color is China Glaze Prize Winning Mare.

What do you think of this one that I chose?  Do you have your own hand chain and if so, where did you get it?  I want to get another one maybe in rose gold or silver or something!  I think I'll check Etsy, Top Shop, etc.  If you have any suggestions, let me know by tweeting me!  -Brit.

A Beautiful Spring Day in the Beginning of April!

Today was an absolutely beautiful day all around.  The weather was fantastic and I think spring is finally here!  I am so happy to be able to welcome the warmer weather in my outfits, makeup and most of all.. outside!  Here's what I wore today as I gallivanted around town shopping and running some errands!  

My top is from Old Navy, the thank underneath is from Charlotte Russe, the jeans and shoes are from Forever 21, my wallet is from Target and I am wearing my Rose Gold Michael Kors that I got two years ago from my dad.  

I figured I would include my fantastic, full of calories breakfast, a delicious bagel.  We go to Barons Bagels which is right around the corner from where we live and these bagels are fantastic!  I also went to the mall and picked up a couple of things from Sephora including a Clarisonic brush head from the Luxe Collection that I have heard all about, a couple of Bath and Body Works Candles and a mask from First Aid Beauty.  I have been loving the line, as you all know, and figured that I would give a mask a try.  After all, my skin is slowly but surely getting back to normal with the weather getting warmer.  

What are you doing this weekend?  I can't wait to spend tomorrow doing laundry (said no one ever).  I just hope we have another awesome day tomorrow and another awesome week to follow, weather-wise.  Send me a tweet and let me know what you think and how your weather has been!
