Fun Fall Nail Polish Colors

Robin — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:58:56 +0000

I was at Target yesterday and decided to treat myself to a couple new fall nail polish colors. I’ve been hooked on Essie Nail Polish for a while now… even though they cost right around $8 for a bottle, I think it’s totally worth it. The colors are opaque, it never gets clumpy, and it doesn’t chip easily. I love that I can quickly throw on a couple coats (without a clear coat on the top or bottom), and it will last for days.

Of course, the thing I love most about Essie are the names of the colors, and the descriptions they use on their website. They are priceless.

Here are my two new fall favorites:

Essie’s Eternal Optimism.

Essie’s Description: A spiced tea rose with a dash of cream.

My Description: Like vintage Chanel suits, wallpaper roses, macaroons, the color a poodle would be if it were naturally pink, the curtains in my childhood bedroom.

Essie’s Merino Cool.

Essie’s Description: A sensuous autumn mulberry.

My description: The purple nail polish grown-ups can wear. The color of grape Kool-Aid before you mix it with water, storm clouds, dried lavender, Eeyore on a cloudy day (his favorite kind of day).

Dress Obsessed

Ok… So I’ve had my eye on this Cirque A-Line Dress from Anthropologie for a while now:

How cute is that?! Seriously. So cute. And that pattern? Let me give you a closer look:

Oh yes, that is a herd of little while elephants marching all over that sassy dress. And that gold sash? I couldn’t get enough! Good thing a caught a glimpse of the price tag before hitting the “Add to Bag button” in my fit of shopping joy. $148? Yeah, a little too steep for this thrifty girl…

Then, yesterday while doing a little harmless online shopping, I saw this:

That’s right!! The cutest dress in the whole world was almost half price!

And then I cried a little when I saw that they didn’t have my size… but I bought it anyway, one size larger. For this price, I can afford to get it taken in if I need to, and it will still be cheaper than buying it at the original price.

Could this get even better?

Oh yes.

Anthropologie.com has free shipping and free returns until September 30… but only for full-priced items, so shipping my dress was still going to cost me $10.

But… If I bought a full priced item as well, everything would be shipped to me fo’ free. I just needed to find something on the website for around $10, or there would be no point. Of course, this really limits your search in their clothing department, but then I saw this in the kitchen section:

I had seen a ceramic egg crate just like this before here used as a “jewelry catch-all” on a dresser, and thought it would be perfect for my vanity. Since I would have had to spend the $10 in shipping anyway, an extra $4 for this little piece (at $14) was nothin’.

This was definitely an online shopping trip success! Now, the hard part: I have to wait 5-7 days until they are delivered to me! Maybe I’ll eat some cheeseburgers to make sure that my new dress fits…

Ok, first of all, welcome to my new website: robinlindsay.com!

I’ve been working on putting it together for a while now, and it will be making it’s debut this September!

I finally have a place to show off all of the cool projects I have been working on: company logos, wedding invitations, DIY projects, and muuuuch more. Of course, I’ll probably be sharing some random things I find while surfing all around the inter-webs, too.

Keep checking back!!
