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!!

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

really high quality!!

Monday Inspiration

Hello all!

This Friday is the last day of my online English class and I am so excited!

It will be nice to have some more free time and do things for myself. 

Hello manicures and sunshine! :)

Anyways, here are some things that I am obsessing over:

1.  Tory Burch: The Perry Tote

I think that this would be the perfect bag for any working woman 

or for that woman who carries around a lot of stuff in her purse.

What I mean to say is that this purse if perfect for every woman on the planet. 

Found here. 

2. Lilly Pulitzer Skirts

Found here.
She has so many more designs so be sure to check them out!

3. Vera Bradley Backpacks

I just got mine and it is the greatest backpack I have ever owned.
I own so many Vera products it's crazy, but at the same time
I know that her products are high quality so I had no doubt I was
going to fall in love with this backpack!
This backpack holds so much and as a science major who has about
5-6 textbooks per semester that are at least 500 pages, that is saying a lot!

Hurry though!!  This backpack is on sale!! :)  

4. Decorative Pillows 
These are the perfect statement pieces to add to any room.

I may or may not be developing a pillow fetish... ;)

Here are a few other links for fun!

A yummy looking flatbread recipe.

If money grew on trees, I would go for these David Yurman bracelets.

Hope you have a great day!!

Go Green

Brings out the green in my eyes. ;)

Hope you are having a fabulous day! :)

Layered Looks to Love

Hello all!!

A long overdue post is finally coming your way!

After a really long semester at school, I am finally on break and fully

enjoying every single minute second of it!!

And of course, Happy New Year!! :) 

I thought today I would share some of my favorite layered looks

as it is extremely cold here!!

I have got to figure out a way to make money grow on trees... ;)

Many fall and winter essentials that I would love to own.  I  have an 

obsession with clothes.  And shoes.  And jewelry.  And makeup.  And hairstyles.

But I digress.  ;)

I hope all of you enjoyed your holiday seasons and that your new year is off to 

a wonderful start!! :) 

Remember to do something fun and relaxing today!

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!!

My stars, has it been too long or what?!?!  

I am so sorry that this has taken forever!

I am all moved in to my new apartment and ready to start my third

year of college (already...).

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!?!?! 

Le sigh.

But I can't wait to start yet another exciting year! :)

Anyways, back to the main point.

Here are some of my favorite finds in the wonderful world 

of style that I just had to share:

1.  The Fall Layers

With an adorable red skirt and cheetah loafers.  Perfect.

2.  The Classic Skirt and Stripe Look

I love how she has a bun for her hair style to complement this timeless look.

Such a fun and classy look.  A must have for any woman!

 3.  Vest and Gingham

I personally need to get my act together and purchase a couple of gingham shirts!

How cute is this pattern!?!?!  

Such a great look for the upcoming fall season!

4.  Stripes on Stripes

I just love the light stripe pattern of the skirt paired with the striped shirt.

It doesn't look like there are too many stripes going on here.

 5.  The Blazer Look

Such a classy piece of clothing to add to any outfit.

I am currently obsessed with stripes so this just may be one

of my favorite outfits!! :)

Happy Labor Day 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! :)

Hello there!

I just got a pair of leather boots in the mail for the fall and I am so excited!

So, I have found some cute looks to pair with leather boots!

So cute, I wish fall was here already!

Although it has been warm and enjoyable, 

there really is nothing like putting on a warm sweater

and getting comfy under a cozy blanket with a hot cup of tea. :)

I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday!

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! :)
