Girly McGirlicuddy

This post is for girls who enjoy being girls. So here goes: I've discovered something and I have to share.

First of all is a simple thing: MAC's new nail polish in Vestral White. It's instant chicness and so different from what you would expect that it's refreshingly modern. It reminds me of when we used to paint our nails with Liquid Paper/White Out and it looked awful. This is better. Maybe it's because I love everything white, but nail polish too? That is awesome.

The second thing is this: a busted hairdryer is the best thing that ever happened to my hair. After a brief panic, I let it do its thing and then tried some hair oiling for good measure. Twisting it up while it air dries gives me smooth waves. And the lack of heat styling can only be good for the hair long term, so that when I do acquire a functioning blow-dryer, the hair will hopefully behave that much better. I may never use one now though...People keep telling me that my hair looks great. That, and the fact that it buys me an extra twenty minutes in bed in the morning is all I need to keep doing this.

The third thing is this blog. It's my personal source of inspiration. Shopping if so much more fun now because I can see how to pair this with that and a little of that and I've got myself a fantastic outfit. Mind you, I drool a little for her shoes and bags - they're often from Coach, which means, they cost roughly the same as a decent second-hand car. But still, she's got a great eye and points me toward things I'd never have considered before. LOVE that. The fashion evolution is on.
