Hi everyone!
Soon I will be going on a college road trip with some classmates so I will be gone for a while! But don't worry! It won't be for too long!
As soon as I get back I will upload pictures! In the meantime, Like the Shopping Girl vs the World Facebook page, and pass the time on Polyvore. I will still be posting on the Shopping Girl vs the World Twitter page so stay posted!

Nails- Cotton Candy

My latest nail creation is inspired by Cotton Candy! (Look the flash made a flower on my index finger) -->

 To create the look, I applied two coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in "Blizzard Blue" to one half of each nail. After fifteen minutes, I painted one coat of ORLY Nail Laquer in "Terracotta" on the other half. I didn't wany my halves to be perfect or my lines to be straight but if you do, wait until one half of the nail is completely dry and cover the painted half of your nail with tape before painting the second color over it.

Banana Republic "Mad Men" Collection

For all who do not know, Banana Republic has just released their Mad Men Collection!
For those who watch Mad Men and even for those who don't, this is a reason to celebrate! Now you can find clothes with vintage silhouettes that are modern enough for current fashion without breaking the bank (each piece is under $200!).
I am especially loving the leopard print trench in the bottom left corner of this picture.
