New loves...

Whoops!

I seem to have forgotten about this lovely blog... A lot has been going on lately. I sort of got mono, not actually sure where/who from. I'm not a dirty girl, I don't go around kissing every kid on the block. I just don't understand where it's from!

A few of my newest favorite things are The Frat Collection, OPI's New York City Ballet collection, and the blog The College Prepster. Not to mention the movie The Town.

The Frat Collection is a great new website that I've recently discovered. It's really lovely. They have a large array of patterns that give you an option to pick a pattern for a frocket. You then get to pick out a t-shirt color to go with your frocket. I'm incredibly excited to try it out! Another of the greatest things that "The Frat Collection" does, besides having a ton of options, is that they allow you to enter a charitable organization of your choice to receive 10% of your order. I really love the "Jesse" on Kentucky Rain, or the "Linley" on Southern Sky or Marlin. Not to mention the "Marcia" on Flamingo or Southern Sky.

New York City Ballet is super classy. All a simple and pale colors. My personal favorite is "You Callin' Me a Lyre". A great pale shade of baby pink that would be perfect for the odd summer garden party or wedding.

The College Prepster is such a wonderful new (to me) blog that is really cute! The writer is an inspiration to me! She's a recent Georgetown graduate and seems to be perpetually classy. From the pictures her life is J. Crew and Lily Pulitzer. Her reader base is huge and something for me to aspire to.

Lastly, The Town. A movie that I didn't even want to watch. It's the story of a career bank robber from the town of Charlestown, Massachusetts. Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) falls in love with a down to earth bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). Predictable shenanigans ensue and love and heart break do as well. The town is well on the way to becoming one of my favorite movies. A must see.

That's all! I promise I'll keep up the writing more often! Tell your friends to read The Classy Tuesdays, follow the blog and live classy.

The List, Spring Edition!

It might be cold where you are but here its 70 degrees out. And almost March (Which apart from being a springy month here it's also my birthday!) which means that in preparation for spring here is my list of what's fresh for spring!

• On your nails...

Bright colors are everything this season!

Chanel- The newest addition to Chanel's Le Vernis collection for nails is number 549, Distraction. A mild pink with a bright hue it packs a lot of punch in a little bottle. At $23 a bottle it also pack a lot of value per swipe, however Chanel, for me, is tried and true, a great brand of nail polish that stays put with a simple top coat. 

Essie- The spring 2012 colors for Essie are great this year! My personal favorites are a light pink called A Crewed Interest and a bright orange-y coral called Orange, It's Obvious!. I've never used Essie personally, but I do have friends who swear by the little white capped bottle. At $8 a bottle it is significantly more affordable than Chanel. It's all a matter of personal preference. 

OPI- With the arrival of the eagerly awaited "Holland" collection there is only one question, is there a discount for buying all of them? My favorites are "A Roll In The Hague", "I Have A Herring Problem", and "Red Lights Ahead... Where?".  "A Roll In The Hague" is a super bright orange that screams, "PUT ON SUNGLASSES!" "I Have A Herring Problem", my favorite, is a cool blue, the perfect color for going out on a lovely spring day. "Red Lights Ahead... Where?" is a flaming red/pink that reminds me of spring flowers.

• On your face...

Bold red lips, soft pinky lips and strong eyebrows are all the rage this spring and there's a lot to be excited about!

Pink Lips- For day or night light, feminine, girly lips are it. I love how the sweet look compliments a soft outfit or sets a contrast with a harsh outfit and strong eyes. Lipsticks I love are Tom Ford's Pink Dusk, Dior's Tulip Pink and Urban Decay's Midnight Cowboy.
Red Lips-Perfect for making a statement, and saying "I have arrived" without saying a word. I LOVE red lips to make a statement and add a hint of flirt and a dash of hello. My favorites are Estee Lauder's Sublime Nectar and Urban Decay in Revolution.
Strong Brows- I'm crazy about strong eyebrows and this season the rest of the world is finally catching on! As long as they are shaped the darker the better. As my good friends know Urban Decay has long been a love affair of mine, and my current desire/lust is the Urban Decay Brow Box. I've tried it and immediately fell in love.It has two colors, an eyebrow brush, eyebrow wax, and a wax brush.

 Well, that's what I have to say!
