Favorite Fashion Finds

Happy Tuesday everyone! 

Today has been quite a productive day for me, which is good since

the end of my class is approaching! :)

Back to business: here is your dose of Nutmeg's favorite fashion finds!

Drum roll, please!!

Such a cute floral poncho from Forever 21!  If only I could

afford it/make more room in my teeny closet. ;)

Found here. 

Anytime I see a mixed pattern look, I drool. 

Outfit details found here. 

Again with the pattern mixing!  I love this Kate Spade bow bracelet and the floral clutch!

Outfit details found here. 

I love this style for the gingham look!!  This is so darling!!

Outfit details found here. 

I am curious to also try this lip gloss from YSL.  Looks like it would be 

really high quality!! 

Hope you have a great rest of your day!  :)

A Happy Weekend

This weekend so far has been absolutely fantastic!

I decided yesterday to put down the textbooks and devote some time

to myself.  I had been working so hard the past week that I felt that 

I was going to go crazy if I didn't take some time to relax!  

But today I will be hitting the books hard as I prepare for the last few exams 

I have left before finals!!  

So scary how the time has flown by...

Anyways, I have had some time now to do some shopping

on the internet and really catch up on some cool ideas out there

that I really want to try!  

From DIY projects to plaid outfit ideas, there are so many

great things to get excited about!! 

Here are some of my favorites:

1.  The 20 of the Best Hair Tips You Will Ever Need.

And I mean seriously I would have NEVER thought of half

of these.  A must read to help maintain those luscious locks of yours!

2.  The Best Glazed Mixed Berry Scones 

EVER.  Now, my man doesn't really care for scones in general,

most of the time it's because they are really dry and crumbly.

Honestly, this is why I don't like buying scones in a Starbucks drive-thru

or most places in general.  They can't get it right!!

This recipe though will change your life.  

The boyfriend even said that these were the best scones he had ever

eaten period.  That is saying A LOT since he is the pickiest eater I know!!

One of the key ingredients as she will explain is sour cream, to which at first I 

thought that was a little bit weird, but as I was making them, I quickly realized

that sour cream is the key to making soft and scrumptious scones!! 

You know I even forgot to put in baking powder and they still turned out

perfectly fine.  Crazy in my opinion, but I'm not complaining if I can 

get a great scone out of the recipe!! :)

3. Fall Fashion In General

This is by far my favorite season to dress!

I love getting cozy in a big sweater or wearing a chunky scarf

with mittens!!  

These looks are just so heavenly and classy!

I want them all!!!!   :) 

4.  Need a Dinner Idea?

Then check out these 30 soup recipes from 

Cooking Classy!!  

Gosh does she have so many great ideas!!

We made the creamy potato soup last night for dinner

and it was dynamite!!  

Plus there was bacon in it and you can never go wrong with that! ;)

5.  Art Journals as a Therapy!

I have only very recently gotten into keeping an art journal

but I read a study that shows how much of a healing power

doodling can be to relieve stress from a traumatic experience.

Being able to have that creative outlet and really see a beautiful result

of something you made or drew is truly inspiring.  

I found this on Pinterest and am hoping to soon start this!

A great quote to keep in mind, plus this is something fun to do!

Just simply wonderful.  :)

Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!!

DIY Ombre Candles

Hello there everybody!

So I have been watching my Yankee candles slowly burn down

and now there is not a whole lot left of them (sad day!).

But thanks to Pinterest, I found a website here that will cure my 

soon to be lack of candles in my bedroom.

Looks super easy, they have great instructions on what to do.

Plus, these would make great gifts for anyone who loves candles and

can be given for any occasion: birthday, Christmas, etc...

Super cute, right?!?!

And a few more links for fun!

This is a good read for anyone who is thinking about getting married.

I'm curious to try this new scent from COACH.

A very cute and stylish Tory Burch bag from Nordstrom! 

Hope you have a wonderful day! :)

DIY Headbands

Almost every girl I know loves to do her hair.

Curls, french braids, fancy ribbons, and flowers in an up-do;

these are just a few of the many options a girl has to fancy her hair,

her most prized possession! :)

There are so many accessories that we can buy to add to our cute hair look,

but that can quickly add up to be quite a bit of dough going towards headbands,

barrettes, and other pretty hair clips.  

But what if it was cheaper to make your own?!  

It is and you can customize your look for any occasion!  :)

Here are some cute looks I would love to try!

When I get to experimenting more, I will be putting up tutorials.

I know, I know, I am a tad bit behind..

But hey, better late than never!! :)

The last one I swear I have seen in so many stores, but I refuse to pay 

$15 for a pack of these.  I bet you could make these for much cheaper

and get a whole lot more out of them!  Plus, you can make exactly what you want!

This website has many more knock offs from Anthropologie!

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and that ladies you have fun

fancying your hair! :)

It's Friday!!

Hello everybody and welcome to the best day of the week! 

We have made it through yet another week in 2014,

which is over half way done with already.  C'est bizarre! ;)

I had a great week and I hope yours was splendid as well!

Here are some things I found this week that I am loving!

1.  26 Halloween Costumes For Toddlers 

As the rest of the title implies, they are just too cute to believe!

I mean seriously, how adorable is this baby?!?!?!?!

Found here. 

2.  The Bun and the Braid

Enough said, the perfect look for fall like shown here

or for those hot, muggy days of summer!

3.  Need a Quick Workout?

I can't even begin to tell you how great this is!

You don't have to leave your house to do this!

4.  Yummy Grilled Potato Salad

Oh my deliciousness.  Red potatoes are one of my favorite potatoes to grill.

Recipe found here.

HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND!  Going away to visit

I miss Evan so much and am beyond excited and blessed to spend this

And I get to meet his uncle for the first time, which is going to be awesome.

Talk to you soon!

NAKED by Urban Decay

Ladies, lets face it: if we could own everything found in Sephora or Nordstrom,

we would be some of the happiest people on the planet, am I right?!  

I know I would be!

Honestly if somebody gave me $10,000 that money is going toward my
wardrobe and makeup.  No questions asked.

I have been dying to try this NAKED makeup as I have heard tons of
great reviews on it!

Sigh.  How I would love for all of these eyeshadow palettes to be in 

my beauty collection.

In the meantime, however, Sephora has their ownline of eyeshadow I own 

that I wear every single day.

This is the Moonshadow Baked Palette and has pretty much every color you 

need and more!

If you are looking for the right eyeshadow, I recommend the above 

and right now it is on sale online at Sephora for $15!!

Can't beat a great bargain!

Hope you have a fantastic night and happy shopping!

It's Friday!!

Happy Friday everyone!!

You made it through the week!!

I hope it was a fabulous week and you have a 

wonderful weekend ahead of you!

I will be going out of town to visit my man!  

I miss him so much!!

Unfortunately at the same time, I will be studying for my

genetics final next week.  

I just can't believe how fast this summer has gone by so far!!

This past week, I was so inspired by many ideas,

so get ready for lots of random and cool stuff! :)

1. Hunter Purple Rain Boots

As a college student, I need to walk around campus even when it is

pouring rain outside!  

These Hunter boots are both stylish and perfect for those wet days.

2. Ice Cream Invitation Cards

I saw this idea and immediately started day dreaming about 

when I have kids one day!  ;)

How adorable are these cards?!  I think cards would be such 

a fun idea to do for those I care about.  And how thoughtful is a home-

made card? :)

3. 8 Hair Styles Every Girl Should Know

These gorgeous hair ideas are from Style Me Pretty,

need I say more? ;)

4.  A Quick and Delicious way to make breakfast!

How smart is this?!   Looks super easy and delicious!

Recipe found here. 

5. Minty Manicures

This would be a great idea for spring, but I think for the summer time as well.

You can never go wrong with Essie nail polish!

Essie is seriously found everywhere.

6. Big Juicy Burgers.

I. Love. Burgers.  

It is kind of bad how much I love burgers and eat them like

all the time. 

Not exactly setting a good model for my future patients, am I? ;)

This burger is from Food and Wine.

And speaking of wine... ;)

Anyways, I hope all of you have a terrific weekend of R&R!

Looking Good, Girl!

Hello, everyone!

I have been inspired by many different looks to add to my wardrobe 

and to try soon! 

From nail ideas to how to dress in the fall,

I am ready to rock 'n roll! ;)  

Here are just a few of the looks I have really liked to far.

I love these two nail ideas, perfect for summer!  So much fun!

Holy smoky eye look!  I really like the purple eye shadow here!

This would complement my pretty green eyes.  ;)  

I want this skirt so bad!!  

My favorite part about this outfit is the scarf!  This would be great for when 

fall first starts up!  

Another great fall outfit!  Simple, yet super cute!

Sometimes the simpler, the better!

I also think these pizzas from Food and Wine would be delicious!  

Dinner tonight?  We shall see. :)  

Hope you have a great Monday!  Here's to a great start to the week!

Christmas Gift Ideas

I consider myself to be a last minute shopper when it comes to gifts for

my friends and family.  

I have a really hard time picking out things for people, especially since some people 

I know are extremely picky!

So I have sometimes found myself at a dead end in ideas. 

But after doing some more searching, I have come up with some ideas I thought were great!

For the girly girl, you can't go wrong with Essie nail polish!

This is my man's favorite candy!  Take a toothpick and carve out messages in them!

Too cute! :) 

A hot cocoa mix is a sweet and simple idea for anyone!

Put some fun treats inside to top of their cocoa!  

For the hard-working woman in your life! 

Treat her right with a foot massage and a manicure!  

So whether you do these ideas or something else, 

like candles, books, movies, music, or puzzles,

there is nothing like giving something that means so much to

someone you care about. 

Happy shopping! :)

Here are some more links for fun!

These candles would be great to have around the house (I mean, who

doesn't like Yankee)?  

Bundle up  in this cozy North Face jacket!

And this chili recipe looks delicious!  I will have to try this soon

since my baby loves jalapenos! :)  

And here is some food for thought! :)
