Olive & Oak

I've always been a huge fan of light, floaty tops and was happy to add this recent find from Olive & Oak to my collection. I love all the great details: low neckline, sheerness, rolled up sleeves and little buttons.

And I must apologize for how awful my hair has been looking recently. I have been much too lazy to get it re-dyed, but am planning on fixing it once I'm done exams. Let's just pretend this is a new way to do ombre, shall we?

Essie California Coral

I usually equate Essie California Coral with summer, as I only wear it during the hot months. And in fact, up till now, it has exclusively been a pedicure colour for me. So today I'm mixing things up: California Coral in April and on my fingernails instead! I know, I know... I really do live life dangerously, don't I?

California Coral is a bright and punchy coral shade which leans a little on the orange side (in my opinion). It kind of reminds me of Nicole by OPI The Right Thing, though The Right Thing is more red. Eithery way, a polish like this definitely eye-catching and the perfect complement to monochromatic outfits.

I know some people aren't fans of Essie's formula because it can be difficult to work with. However, I loveeee Essie because it usually dries super shiny, and California Coral is no exception. Now I really can't wait till summer!

The Cognac Satchel

While in London a few years ago, I picked up this satchel at Primark (one of my fave British stores for inexpensive clothing and accessories). As I was eagerly yanking it off the wall, some man who was shopping for his wife came over and asked me if I thought she might like it too. Umm... who wouldn't love this bag?!

Bonus: it can also be worn messenger-style, with the top folded over. It's basically like having two bags in one!
