There’s something about nude-colored nails that always feels fresh and clean…but it can also gravitate towards boring and predictable. For a twist on a classic, Estée Lauder and I came up with the Ombré Nude manicure, which uses varying shades of the color on each finger nail, going from light to dark. For those not comfortable recreating complicated nail art at home, this is a chic and simple one to try out!

I constantly come across interesting links online and decided to curate them into a new midweek series. This is obviously nothing revolutionary, but I wanted a new outlet for sharing the articles, items, and people that are inspiring me on a weekly basis. I hope you enjoy!

I arrived in Toronto last night and absolutely love it here, despite the wintery temps. I’m in town for a book signing at Holt Renfrew tomorrow, so if you’re in the area, please stop by! I’m looking forward to exploring the city and returning home just in time to spend the remainder of the weekend with friends. In the meantime, here are a few of the things making me happy right now.
