Mother's Day Gift Guide

With Mother's Day right around the corner (May 12th), we thought we'd put together a little gift guide to help you shop for your mom. And while we have gifts of all price ranges, these are just ideas. And remember, sometimes it's the little things that count (especially if you live out of town) so be sure to place that phone call or send some good old fashioned snail mail and let mom know just how lucky you are to have her in your life.

Friday's Fancies: Without the Rain...

When {av} handed us the task of taking on April Showers for this week's Friday's Fancies, we looked no further than one of our favorite quotes for a little inspiration. In light of the recent tragic events that struck our country, we're reminded that through adversity we realize just how strong we actually are and that without heartache we can't truly grow. So don't take today for granted, live this day to its fullest and tell someone just how much you love them.

We hope you enjoy what we picked as a rainy day outfit. We'd wear this while watching out for that beautiful rainbow which has to be right around the corner.

April POTM

We love bringing you guys our Polish Of The Month posts. It's always so much fun showcasing a special polish or polishes (because sometimes two is better than one) every single month. There are just so many awesome polishes out there that they really do deserve their own post! So without further adieu, we bring you...

April Polish Of The Month

Mendi's Pick - L'Oreal Colour Riche in Crazy for Chic

I am in the midst of a full-on love affair with the new L'Oreal Colour Riche Trendsetter polishes for spring. (Don't tell Essie.) I have collected all six of them and to be quite honest, I have a really hard time picking a favorite. It just so happened that the next polish up in rotation was Crazy for Chic, a rich and intense dark pink. In certain lighting it almost looks like a cherry red. I'm completely smitten with this shade. One good even coat is probably enough, especially if you're in a hurry, but I have on two coats here. It's the perfect polish to welcome spring!

Jayme's Pick - Orly's Gumdrop

I recently got this polish from my mom (she doesn't love creme based polishes). She picked this up at Sally's Beauty which might be the reason for the different packaging. This looks more mint in the bottle but is actually a gorgeous blue/green. It's a brighter pastel and I love it for this time of year. I've read some reviews saying that this polish applied horribly and had no staying power. I have did not have these issues  I applied one coat over a lighter green as my base and thought it applied easily. I find that I keep looking at my nails during the day. Spring approved!!

What polish has been gracing your nails this month? Are you into pastels or something a little bit bolder? Let us know!

Man Style: The Voice's Adam Levine

We love NBC's The Voice. Back in the day we did enjoy American Idol but it seems as if that show has gone so far away from it's original intent which was showcasing musical talent  No one cares if Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj hate each other!! Geez! But The Voice is more positive and we have loved watching ever since it aired for the first time back in 2011. The newest season just kicked off so we thought why not merge one of the fine men (we aren't forgetting Blake and Usher!!) from the show with our "Man Style" feature.

Trying to find looks online where Adam has not been styled proved to be a little bit difficult. Why you ask? Because this man keeps it casual. And there's nothing wrong with that. He's a tatted up t-shirt and jeans kind of guy. We like the dark wash of his jeans and that the only thing "extra" he's got going on are his shades.

via Pinterest via Sunglass Warehouse Blog

Distressed jeans, hat and a plain white tee. And check out how he's next to David Beckham who happened to be our very first "Man Style" feature (click here for that post). They are like night and day here, but each are rockin it! Serious eye candy...you're welcome!

via

Even with his casual style, he does clean up nicely and can wear a suit. It's simple and so perfect. There's just something about a crisp black suit on a man.

via

If you guys don't  watch The Voice, then we urge you to check it out. There are episodes online too. You'll kind of fall in love with the judges. It's currently on Mondays and Tuesdays 8/7c.

Friday's Fancies: OMG, Shoes

In true Friday's Fancies style, we've put together a board of a few of our favorite shoes for this spring & summer. This past week here in Richmond we finally got some steady spring-like temps...and dare we say, almost summer-y days. Mother Nature has yet to prove that spring is here for good though, so while we're hoping that we can keep our sandals and flip-flops out to play, we won't be putting our boots up quite yet. What about you?? Has spring sprung where you live?

Friday's Fancies: Polka Dotted Muse

When polka dots rolled around for this week's theme, we already had this image of Wendy in mind, plus we're loving the black and white trend right now. We hope you guys agree!
