Donuts and bows
My friends keep texting me pictures of their awesome hair trends and sadly, I can't take part because of my membership in the "bob for life" club. I can look from afar though:) First up, my friend Lauren surprised me with her latest Pinterest discovery, the hair bow. Looks pretty awesome and so perfect for the holidays:

Next, is the hair donut that seems to be super popular. I think it's pretty funny but lots of ladies seem to be sporting it.

Chick magnet
My newest magnetic nail polish acquisition is Sinful Colors in "It's Electric". I haven't really been feeling the magnetic nail polish trend but saw this for only 4.99 and thought it was worth the chance.
First off, the magnet is practically glued into the top, and I quite literally nearly lost a nail trying to pull it off from the bottle cap. I put on a thin layer and then placed the magnet above my thumbnail immediately. The polish was decently opaque in one coat, except... nothing happened. I did one more thin coat (nice thing about magnetic polishes) and tried again. The magnet finally started working but it wasn't super even like in the pictures. Nevertheless, I'm intrigued and practice makes perfect, right?

Such a Grandma
I'm watching CNN with my cat while eating Halloween candy ...so basically I'm 80 and 5 at the same time. With that self revelation, I realize that I have no justification for the things that I'm into these days.
What's on my radar this month:
The clerk at Sports Basement was ringing me up and sporting this super adorable Cupcake Beanie. I didn't know if it was crazy hat day at SB or maybe just getting in the mood for Halloween, but her awesome hat style made my day and I'm considering the small investment!
Cutest cupcake beanie
Taylor Swift's new CD came out yesterday and is it weird that I was so excited? She also has cute Keds at Nordies that would be perfect to sport the Nantucket Kennedy style that I'm always into.

Lastly, I was super excited to find PJ Salvage's cupcake robe at Nordstrom Rack a few months ago. I was even more excited to see that Rachel was wearing it on Glee in the season premiere last month! Quite the cosmic connection if I do say so:)

Velvet Manicure
I was flipping through October's issue of O Magazine for a little inspiration and came across the newest thing in the nail world, the velvet manicure. Well, maybe it's not the newest thing ,but new to me at least. I was instantly intrigued and searched on Sephora to see what it's all about. The reviews look good. Once pay day comes, I'll have to try it out:) Let me know if you do, too!

Rock the polka dots
This fall, I'm totally "rockin' the polka dots"! It all started when I fell in love with the lining of my Kate Spade purse two years ago! Ever since, the polka dot obsession has intensified. Not only does my purse icon and fellow Kappa, Kate Spade, love polka dots, but to make matters worse, my favorite TV show is the New Girl and the main character, Jess Day, also loves the polka dots! In the last month, these are my polka dot purchases:

"I brake for birds. I rock a lot of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours. I spend my entire day talking to children. And I find it fundamentally strange that you're not a dessert person. That's just weird, and it freaks me out. And I'm sorry I don't talk like Murphy Brown. And I hate your pantsuit. I wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it just slightly cuter. And that doesn't mean I'm not smart and tough and strong." Jess Day- New Girl |

A new favorite...
Serendipity
brought me a new friend three weeks ago. Hello, Hillary Rodham Kitten!
She is my new favorite thing and coincidentally, Hill is also glamour
girl who loves all things beauty. She loves to hang out in the bathroom
with me and gaze into the mirror while I'm doing my hair in the morning.
Hillary also steals my mascara and nail polishes! Evidence below!

| I love Bare Escentuals Buxom mascara, too! |
