Last year, The Hills star Lauren Conrad got folks up in a frenzy with her multi colored nails caught in a paparazzi pic. Many people liked it and even a few LOVED it but I didn’t see anybody rock it. Now, I’m not saying that because LC did, we all should but I thought it would become a great trend that many would follow. I know I did at least. I call this look “ombre nails” because the color is supposed to go from lightest to darkest starting with you thumb (or vice versa with the pinky like Lauren.) I tried this look last summer with purple and it was quite fantastic. I’m bringing it back for the spring. Just find four like colors (pink to red, gray to black, etc.) and create a gradient look. Try it out and let me know how it goes!

You’re welcome.

I couldn’t just pick one, so there are three LOTD’s today. First we have actress Vera Farmiga at the Orange British Academy Film Awards in a beautiful Marchesa frock. Quite frankly, this dress is sort of like a dream. More looks under the cut.


Olivia Palermo’s simplistic style wins here. I don’t know why but I really enjoy the formal shorts with tights look for the fall and winter. The neutral colored satin cami pulls the look together without trying to hard. I like.


This lady just had a baby. I mean seriously. Kourtney Kardashian looked great for her appearance at the Dash fashion show in Vegas last night. You know how I feel about the “cold shoulder”/one sleeve look and you can always bet on black. And it may be me, but I think she’s even prettier now that she’s a mother.

There you have it.
