I recently purchased this exact dress from Jacob and I absolutly LOVE it...the fit is perfect, the length is perfect {for work} and the price was amazing $69! BUT.....it is a black dress, and even though fall is quickly approaching I still want to be able to add colour to an otherwise plain dress....! Below are a few looks I've tried recently to make this amazing dress a little more amazing! What do you do to add colour to your LBD?*

Stuff You'll Love!
You'll Love: Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color
Whenever I pick up and magazine I {like every other girl on this planet} find myself drooling over the expensive products they recommend you buy. Sometimes I cave and buy them. But most of the time I opt for the less expensive but equally satisfying alternative. So I thought I would post the products I love and that I buy on a regular basis. These are all things I think are worth spending your time and hard earned money on, and I think you will love as well!
Nail art has become quite the trend lately, and I totally love it...but my artistic skills are subpar at best....I could probably handle the odd white dots on a bright coloured nail but that's about it! When I heard about the new Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color I was pretty apprehensive about trying it, because let's be honest...the Crackle nail polish wasn't the best. But my friend had the Magnetic Color on yesterday and it looked amazing, so I went right out to Shopper's Drug Mart and picked myself up a bottle! And I love it! It's super easy to use, dries shiny {and quickly} and looks like you had your nails done professionally!

The polish comes in 8 metallic shades {shown above} and includes the magnet. First apply a thin base coat to all 10 nails and let dry. Next, apply a thick coat of color to one nail and immediately hold the built in magnet over the nail with the build in rest just under your cuticle. {Make sure you DO NOT touch your wet nails with the magnet, just hover}. Hold the magnet in place for 10 seconds, repeat for all 10 nails one at a time, let dry! The iron filings in the polish rearrange themselves under the magnet to create the wave design on your nail.
I chose Graphite Gravity, which is the darkest of the collection and I love it! The wave design shows up as a silvery colour which tones down the darkness of the polish, perfect for fall!
I think you'll LOVE this polish! You can purchase it at your local drug store for $9.99 a bottle!*

You'll Love: Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo
Whenever I pick up and magazine I {like every other girl on this planet} find myself drooling over the expensive products they recommend you buy. Sometimes I cave and buy them. But most of the time I opt for the less expensive but equally satisfying alternative. So I thought I would post the products I love and that I buy on a regular basis. These are all things I think are worth spending your time and hard earned money on, and I think you will love as well!
I literally have to wash my hair every night in order for it to look clean and manageable the next day. My hair dresser keeps telling me to stop washing everyday because it’s bad for my hair…. “You need to train your hair” she says…well…I don’t have the patience to do that! Thank god for dry shampoo! I’ve tried a few different brands. Tresemme and Aveeno, but I found they just added to the oil and dirt of my day old hair, and tried to mask any smell with a gross baby powder scent. A few girls at my office recommended I try Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo, and it made a world of difference. You really get what you pay for ($17.95/bottle).
Following the directions on the can is key! Shake the can well, and then hold about 6-8 inches away from your head. Spray the product lightly focusing mainly on roots, wait 2 minutes before brushing out excess product, and VOILA refreshed, volumized day old hair! Instead of adding to the daily dirt and oil in your hair, Big Sexy Hair absorbs excess oils, dirt and product build up, adding volume to limp hair, UV- protection, and helps extend colour life by lengthening time between washes! PLUS… PLUS…PLUS!
