TGIF! What are you up to this weekend? This week I started to work on spiderweb themed cookies for Halloween so I will be finishing those off this weekend. With the chilly weather I have been burning some of the most amazing scented candles. Enjoy your weekend dolls!

Wouldn\’t these make great Christmas gifts? I am definitely thinking about giving monogrammed Woozie\’s to my friends this year!

This candle is so neat because it is made from purified waste grease from Mario Batali\’s MOZZA Restaurant. You should definitely check out Further products!

As a result of The OC I became a Rachel Bilson fan. When I heard that she was going to be in a show called \”Hart of Dixie\” I knew that I had to watch it. In the show she plays Dr. Zoe Hart who has the cutest wardrobe and shortest shorts that make me envy her legs!

{Hello adorable Chloe bag that I wish was still made!}

Now lets check out Rachel\’s everyday style.

{loving her whole outfit}

{How cute is this outfit! Check out her shoes too!}

{I need this Chanel bag :] }

What do you think of Rachel\’s style?

Trend Watch: Ombre Nails

Ombre nails fade from one nail to the next. To get this look you could either have five different shades of the polish color you want to go from dark to light. Or you can start with a base color and mix in varies degrees of white or black nail polish.

Since I wanted to go with a taupey gray look and already had five polishes that would work perfectly I used them instead of mixing polishes.

What do you think of the Ombre Nail Trend?!
