Nail Art in Nolita

Last night my roommate and I went down to Nolita to get our nails done at Valley Nails. It's been on our bucket list for a while but it's so popular that you have to make appointments weeks in advance. It's a nail salon that specializes in gel manicures with designs. You name it and they can do it - you just have to be willing to pay for it. When you first get there they have you pick colors from a pinwheel of 121 colors.

 

You can do ombré, regular designs, or 3D designs. You have to book your appointment by what caliber of design you are looking for because all of the girls that work there have a different skill set. My roommate opted for ombré and I went for designs. It only took an hour and we are already planning our next trip! Check out their website here Valley Nails or their Instagram: ValleyNYC for more examples of what they are capable of!

Currently Coveting

Although other people have told me that I should start a blog the person responsible for making me take the plunge is one of my best friend's Erin. She started her own blog in DC called "Erin's Currently Coveting" a year and a half ago and it has really taken off. She works at Carlye but she has a real knack for throwing theme parties and giving them that extra bit of sparkle. Her blog started off sharing these fun party ideas- Red Carpet themes with triple decks, Beach Bachelorettes, "Favorite Things" Goodie bag themed party and the list goes on an on. The blog then evolved to incorporate her baking abilities. Thank GOD I don't have the baking skills that Erin does because I would be the size of a barn. Name a cupcake flavor, and this girl has mastered it- from Strawberry Champagne cupcakes to 3 layer Mint Oreo cake she's covered it all. Once she got into the full swing of things, she started doing Work Wear and Weekend Outfit Posts. She is definitely pushing the limits for Carlye (love it) but she finds a way to make formal work wear bright, fashionable, and affordable. Her homespun blog has really taken off and she has since been featured in the Washingtonian, Refinery29, LuckyMag, and the list goes on. I'm so proud of her and definitely recommend that you check out her adorably cute and full of personality blog. Here are some of my favorite snipits of her blog, but be sure to follow her blog as well
