Nailed It

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably realized by now (especially if you happen to really pay attention to your feed on Mondays) that I kind of have a nail polish addiction. I #ManiMonday every week (unless I’m out of town of course) and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. But with the extent of my color combinations relying on my collection (although I can’t complain, it’s not small), I’m always looking for new colors to incorporate. I typically use Ginger + Liz, Deborah Lippmann and NARS but now we have a new group of cool kids to add to the bunch.

The 90s Are Back

As much as we love to praise fashion for being innovative and new, when it comes down to it, fashion always repeats itself. Trends from decades past come and go (shift dresses from the 60s, bohemian from the 70s, and shoulder pads from the 80s to name a few) but the styles are always made more modern so it doesn’t look like you haven’t gone shopping since 1986.

Tomorrow I leave for San Francisco and because I’ve never been, I can only think of one thing when I think of San Fran…and as a 90s kid, that would be Full House of course. With styles from the 90s making a huge comeback, I thought it would only be appropriate to discuss this revival trend.

What Why Where: Fall Shorts

I’ve always liked the idea of Fall shorts but they never made their way into my closet. Although I do have a few pairs in the leather variety, the length of them just doesn’t seem appropriate once September hits (and now that we’re in October, it just feels way too wrong to wear short shorts). So if they’re wool and much longer than what I’m used to, it has to be okay to wear in Fall, right? (As long as the weather still permits…which it’s been doing a killer job of lately).

So today I’m taking on the fashion challenge of incorporating shorts into a Fall look. Shorts: 0. Jena: 0. Let’s see how this plays out.

The One That Got Away

I think we’ve all experienced that “the one that got away feeling.” You finally fall in love, you find “the one” but there’s something about “that one” you feel you have to resist the temptation and just walk away. I’m obviously talking about shopping here. How many times have you seen something you just can’t live without but you look at the price tag and it’s too much or you realize your closet just can’t fit another thing in there? It happens. Sometimes we eventually get over it, sometimes we never do. But either way, we’re going to talk about the one that got away.
