Color Me Styled - Indian Summer

Early September is that wonderful time of year when it is too warm to have to be bundled up to the chin but it is appropriate to mix in fall colors.  It is a perfect time to showcase accessories in burnt oranges, oxbloods and tans.

Color Me Bonita - Cute as a Button Nails

When it was time for me to paint my nails I was torn between a wintery grey color and a pop of coral. Since I seem to be obsessed with warmer weather I am not surprised that Essie's Cute as a Button ended up winning.

Plus I got several compliments on the hue at last Sunday's Oscar Party so it got the Chicago Blogger stamp of approval! As if a gal needs anything else!!

Low key weekend ahead of us. Going to get a start on some spring cleaning and I plan to put together an editorial calendar for March.

Color Me Styled - Hint of Spring

Color Me Styled - Hint of Spring by ebdaily

The sun was out all weekend and even though the temperatures were chilly the sun was shining which was a delightful change. And today it is supposed to reach 50 (it will feel like 40 but no matter).

To celebrate the hint of spring that is upon us I sported an outfit very similar to this yesterday. Minus the MK bag... I wish I could have carried it!

At first I was nervous to wear brown boots with the shark grey leggings but after I had the outfit on I must say it became a favorite! Now I just have to resist temptation and not wear them together every day.

Color Me Styled - Fall Nail Colors

Spring and summer was all about the Nail Art. There are thousands of Pinterest boards dedicated to the subject. However, a lot of what we saw was neon or bright pinks which is super fun, but maybe not best for fall. 

So as we transition seasons I think the nail art trend is gonna stick but try some of your favorites with fall-y colors. Think purples, reds, browns or copper colors. 

For my first fall trendy-mani I did a mauve and metallic combo. The mauve shade, Island Hopping by Essie is one of my favorite nail colors of all time. The other two shades I used are Brisbane Bronze by OPI (it is super old so try this one or this one instead) and Disco Nap by Color Club (available at Birchbox.com).

I think next I'm going to do teal and navy... maybe try ombre with those two. And I really like the brown and grey combo in the Pinterest picture so I'll have to get my hands on some brown polish.
