NOTD: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Get Mod
My love for white nail polish is basically indescribable. I adore it because it just feels so fresh and so clean, clean.
Get Mod isn't groundbreaking - it's your basic white polish; but that formula! While many white polishes are streaky or patchy {or both!}, Get Mod is pure per-fec-tion! It's self-leveling, smooth, gorgeously opaque, and long. lasting.
Highly recommend this one if you're looking for a white hot shade for summer!

painted blooms
I love flirty frocks but rarely wear dresses myself; thus, this romper is pure. perfection. It has the flounced illusion of a mini party dress, but it's actually shorts. I want to live in this all. summer.

NOTD: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Babe Blue
Not that I needed the validation {because I already knew how fabulous this shade was}, but...multiple people asked me about this color during the week that I was wearing it because it. is. incredible {we're talking Top 5 favorite polishes of all time incredible here}.
Babe Blue is so beyond pretty {despite the fact that the shimmer is barely detectable}, I can't even...The formula is nothing to sneeze at either. Though there were some v minor self-leveling issues, the polish as a whole was flawless - and lasted a full week with no touch-ups. Seriously babes...go get this one!

ariel
Obsessed with the slip-like naked dress feel of this frock. It's just perfect for balmy summer nights. Clearly it doesn't hurt that it's called Ariel. V The Little Mermaid inspired, don't you think?

valkyrie {urban armor gear review}
I was super excited to receive an e-mail from UAG with an offer to review one of their cases. And, once I viewed their ultimate drop test from space video, I was fairly convinced that their iPhone cases would definitely have the strength to survive daily life with moi.
The selection was a no-brainer for me, I picked the Valkyrie iPhone 5s Case {$34.95 USD} in the shade Valkyrie because it was pink {with a few black accents}, and I love it. Seriously though, it has been my one and only for the last three weeks.
Despite the fact that the case has an armor shell and meets military drop-test standards, I find it to be incredibly lightweight {more so than previous cases I have owned}; yet still v sturdy and easily accessible. One thing I did not use is the HD Screen Protector that came with the case. Me and HD Screen Protectors, while I would love to use one, simply do not mesh well. They never lie flat for me, which I find incredibly frustrating.
I am so incredibly happy with this case, and will definitely be purchasing from UAG when I upgrade to an iPhone 6 in a few months. The quality and level of protection is truly amazing - especially considering the pricepoint.
How do you protect your smartphone?

Everything Is Everything
I usually try to come up with a theme for each edition of Links a la Mode, but this week’s topics were so varied that all I can think of is that Lauren Hill song. You guys covered everything from abandoned housing projects in Greece, to Gucci in New York, to graffiti in San Francisco (I guess G’s were actually a theme!). In any case, we’ve got lots of great writing, and images to go with it.
You know what else is everything? The midi-length denim skirt Ms. Hill is wearing in that video. I’d be stoked to score that at a vintage store. But I digress—on to the links!

NOTD: Ciaté Paint Pot in Talent Scout
I'm not usually a deep purple fan; but this one {which reminds me a bit of grape jelly} is my jam ATM. I mean, hello, just look at that pigmentation!
Talent Scout has the type of formula that dreams are made of - smooth, self-leveling, highly-pigmented. I was actually surprised that this shade wasn't a OCW; but I think that it has the potential to be if you use thicker coats {I'm a thin-coater myself}. This one will likely be on repeat come fall!

be the belle of the...prom
Too much? Let's try not enough. Prom is no longer a little dance held in miniscule high school gymnasiums across the country, decorated with dollar store streamers {hung from basketball nets and bleachers}, and accented with cheesy tunes that the student body is expected to groove to. Rather, like online shopping {thus, Prom dresses online}, prom has become a can't miss, blowout event laden with many essentials.
First up, the promposal. Oh boys...approaching a girl at her locker and asking her to be your date for prom is so not gonna cut it nowadays. It's all about the movie moment invite. Brainstorm, research other promposals, and come up with something killer that will seriously wow her {otherwise, she'll find someone who will - true story}. Second, dinner and a limo {because what girl doesn't want the opportunity to stick her perfectly coiffed and made-up head out the sunroof on her way to one of the most memorable nights of her life?}. Last, but by no means least, the dreeess! We've been talking about ball gowns here, so let me introduce you to 6 of my personal faves!
{The color is hypnotic - and the perfect complement to the silver detailing.}
{There's something to be said for sweet simplicity.}
{Don't you just love the watercolor vibe of the color combo?}
{The bodice has the perfect, Little Mermaid, under-the-sea thing going on, amiright?}
{Who else is getting Glinda the Good Witch vibes off of this pretty? Absolutely adoring the way the silver detailing looks paired with the saccharine pink!}
{Frozen. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I look at this gorgeous gown!}
Which ball gown would you love to find hanging in your closet?
