Spring 2013 Nail Color

March 11, 2013 By Cyndi 18 Comments

I thought I’d share some Spring 2013 Nail Color with you since it’s pedicure time. A few weeks ago I went in for a pedicure and a manicure. Of course the first thing they told me to do was pick out a color.

I thought about the spring colors I had seen, and I knew neutrals and pastels were in so I picked a light pink for my nails (I can’t remember the color I used). I usually go darker for my toes, so I went with a coral color.

Last fall, I shared some tips for women over 40 about nail color. Here’s a few reminders:

No nail art, and avoid excessive glitter! (This makes you look like you’re trying too hard to look young!)

Save your fun colors for your toes. On fingernails a pretty, sheer pink or beige will take you anywhere. Light colors elongate the look of your fingers.

Dark nail polish makes you look older. If your hands are aging dark colors accentuate it.

Thankfully, neutral and pastel nail color is very popular this year! Of course on the other side, dark blues and purples along with metallics are popular too.

Here are some of the spring colors from OPI you might want to use~~

2. OPI Euro Centrale Collection Spring 2013 E73 Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN!

3. OPI Euro Centrale Collection Spring 2013 -Another Polish Joke

8. OPI Euro Centrale Collection Spring 2013-Can’t Find My Czechbook.

9. OPI Euro Centrale Collection Spring 2013-Hands Off My Kielbasa

This is a sampling of OPI’s spring nail color. There are lots of other colors to choose from. So try some new colors and have fun!

What’s your favorite color of nail polish for your nails? Do you wear a different color on your toes?

Spring’s Sunshine Yellow Handbags

February 5, 2013 By Cyndi 26 Comments

Well, with the cold weather we’ve had over the last week, it has me daydreaming of warmer days, buttercups, and green grass. Spring will be here soon so why not check out some spring handbags.

If you’re a fan of color, you’re in luck because it looks like adding bright colorful handbags is going to be very fashionable.

As I was searching spring handbags, I kept seeing these bright yellow handbags. Carrying one of these handbags could cheer up the dreariest of days don’t you think?

These are designer handbags which means they’re a little pricey. I personally like to look at designer brands and then I will usually buy a handbag that reminds me of the designer look but at a fraction of the cost.

Coach Legacy Archival Bucket Bag

Prada Saffiano Parabole Tote

Kate Spade New York Charlotte Street Sylvie Satchel

Michael Kors Gia Shoulder Bag

Marc Jacobs Antonia Satchel

Reed Krakoff Gym Tote

For some reason I usually buy a new handbag at the beginning of each season. It’s usually the first thing I add to my wardrobe.

So what do you think about these bright yellow handbags? Would you carry one? How much do you usually pay for a handbag?

Beauty For the Heart~~Prayer is not about getting my will done in heaven, prayer is about getting God’s will done on earth.

Have a blessed day!

I’m Thinking Green and I Have a Favor

February 1, 2013 By Cyndi 9 Comments

Well, in case you haven’t heard, green is going to be a hot color for 2013. So, of course I’m thinking green!

I’ve always been a fan of green. I remember as a little girl, my parents were in the process of building a home and Mom let my sister, brother and I pick out the color of carpet we each wanted in our rooms (what was she thinking?). My brother picked blue, my sister picked yellow and I picked green.

I’m not planning on putting green carpet in my home anytime soon but I will be adding some green to my basic wardrobe. Here’s some fashion inspiration from Jessica Quirk from the What I Wore blog.

I’m in love with this next outfit, green with a leopard print coat and shoes. Could it get any better?

I’ve been getting a ton of emails (I do my best to answer them all) with questions like what’s a good lip color for women over 40, can I wear leggings, what about headbands, etc.

If you have a question related to fashion would you leave a comment here with your question. I’m going to do a post or posts dedicated to YOUR questions. I love that you ask them and my guess is if you’re wandering, other readers are too!

So please ask away and let’s have fun learning together!

Beauty For the Heart~~Esther 4:14b, “Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” Even though we may not be a queen, this verse reminds me that we are each here at this time in history for a reason. We have a purpose and God wants to use us for His glory!
