It’s The Most Wonderful Tiiiiiime Of The Year

Black Polish [bullet] Matte Top Coat

I've posted about this look before, but it's good enough that it deserves a repeat. Mostly because it was inspired by The Craft. (Obviously.) This manicure basically a mashup between a black manicure and a traditional French manicure, and works with pretty much any costume…but is still elegant enough to go to the office the next morning.

Whenever I visit Francesca (a.k.a. "squat in her apartment and eat all her Trader Joe's chocolate-covered cherries") I end up taking bunches of photos of her and posting them online, because it's fun but mostly because I feel like style as spectacular as hers should be shared.

I Have Discovered My New Look

Today in Superb Life Choices: wearing 2 1/2 inch heels to hike in the woods. In my defense, "hiking" (and the associated crossing-of-streams) wasn't on the original schedule; we were just planning a quick picnic lunch in a nearby state park before heading to a party...but then Indy spotted a creek, and:
