They say April showers bring May flowers, and May is just around the corner, so I have high hopes that all of this rain nonsense will pay off some time soon. Once May hits I’m expecting 70 degree days and nothing but sun. Sound good Mother Nature?
This top always makes me feel bright, happy, and of course, green. Actually, it is sort of “green” in that it was purchased on consignment, not new. For more information on how used clothing helps us all be a little greener, check out this Earth Day post on the SWAPmaine website.

Have you ever thought to yourself “Oh I want “fill in the blank item” I’ll have to buy one!” then realize you actually own the item in question? I don’t usually, I typically have a pretty good inventory of my belongings, but I did have that thought last night. I’ve been seeing a lot of pretty shades of poppy nail polishes and started craving my own. But, what did I find in my big bag o’ polish last night? A perfectly good bottle of poppy-hued nail color! Problem solved – no additional purchase necessary. Love that. This is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Sonic Bloom. I get absolutely no endorsement from this company whatsoever, but I have to say, Sally is the best drugstore brand by far. Great colors, goes on smooth and dries fast. Yes.
What are your favorite nail colors for Spring and Summer? I’m loving this shade as well as opaque neutrals like Commander in Chic and Wet Clay.

and i love sally hansen nail polish too! i use the complete salon manicure and i swear by it! i have a nice growing collection. i have used lots of other brands and am admittedly not the most skilled at painting my own nails but there’s something about the way it goes on that makes it super easy to do! love!
Ohmygoodness, I’m the QUEEN of not-knowing-she-had-something-because-it-was-tucked-in-the-least-likely-place-possible. Every now and again I’ll sweep through the house ‘tidying’ and end up with a pile of nail polish, bobby pins, scotch tape, lip balm and nail clippers because apparently I just buy a new one of those every time I’m at Rite Aid instead of looking for the old one.
Love the green blouse against the foggy day – it pops! Do I see a St. Lawrence behind you?
