What's on the nails?

It is no secret to anyone that knows me that I love to paint my Nails. I have accumulated quite a collection and it is the high point of my week at the moment in life.
I am currently wearing Times Square by NYC. A very beautiful color for a very affordable price.

It's a red with a subtle pink to it. I would definitely recommend this color but beware seeing that the nail polish is on the cheaper side it does start to chip pretty fast. I would recommend you put a top coat to protect the color. I use Sally Hansens Double Duty Base & Top Coat which works very well.

Happy Monday!!

Chicago Eats: Julius Meinl

This Sunday I went to one of my favorite Brunch places in Chicago, Julius Meinl. It's this very cute little Austrian Cafe near Lincoln Square and they also have a Location on Southport. Me and my boyfriend, Carlos went and it was so yummy, as always. I got a brioche sandwich with egg, cheese and apple wood smoked bacon and he got a yummy pastry with cheese. Sorry I can not remember the name.
We also got yummy drinks. Carlos got the coffee of the day and I got an Earl grey vanilla Latte. I just love the cups and trays you get with the drink. So cute. I might have to buy some for home.

 Well Happy weekend!!!

New Chapters

With starting this blog, a new chapter. I must confess, I have been lazy. Not lazy about life, lazy about what I really want to do with my life. Let me begin with the background to this statement. 3 years ago I graduated from college with a degree in Interior Design, and I was the happiest graduate in the world. I survived Design school and although it was the hardest 2 years of my life, I loved every minute. I knew what I wanted to do with my life and it made me so excited. But now 3 years later, I am working as a shift leader at a dry cleaner in Chicago. I still know what I want in life, it has just been way harder than I ever thought. Well today things will change,  this blog will be a place where I document every thing I love;

- Beauty: Nail Polish; one of the things I can wear at work that just makes me so happy. My Ipsy and Birchbox subscriptions; they are awesome and I definitely love being able to try out new beauty products.

- Tea: Who knew there were so many flavors? 

- Fashion: With life I never dreamed I would grow to love fashion so much. 

- Interior Design: the main reason for this blog, And the dream that continues to live on. Will definitely keep my progress with projects up to date on here and tell you about old projects that I love.

- Chicago: The amazing city I moved to one year ago that helps keep my love for design alive and a great city to adventure around. Will post my many adventures on here.

Well with that introduction, Welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy reading on.
