Let’s be clear, I love OPI Nail Polish. Not for the purposes of this blog post but my admiration goes back to being a teenager. I was eager to get professional manicures because my mom would get her nails filled-in. To me, this signified being the ultimate adult; going to the nail salon. As a grown woman, I still have that same level of excitement when entering the salon. All of those nail colors are fascinating but I can only pick one!
OPI shipped me a box of the latest shades for the season and I couldn’t wait to share them. Remember, we are a few months away from the new year; continue to stay tough as nails!

The pandemic has definitely taken a toll on my manicure schedule. I am squeezing in salon visits. Yikes!
One easy beauty technique is to keep nail lacquer at-home. You never know when you need a change or quick touch-up. OPIshipped a collection of colors that would make anyone want to polish their nails!
After reading a few online articles, I learned the importance of bringing your own supplies to the salon. This helps with the health and hygiene of preventing the spread of germs. Then, why not bring nail polish, right?
On this particular day, I stopped by the salon and grabbed a manicure. I brought the color We Seafood and Eat It.
The shade is considered to be reddish-orange and accents my tiny hand. In-between zoom meetings, I still like to look my best!

FAMD Program
Style + Life + Fashion had the opportunity to attend the event being nominated for the Fashion Media Category. I was surprised to be placed on the ballot (for a second consecutive year) because I only had plans to attend as a media source. Once I received the email confirmation I was very excited to be amongst such a talented list of bloggers.

Jaslene Gonzalez from America’s Top Model served as the host for this year’s event. She was seen wearing a beautiful red asymmetrical gown, created by local fashion designer B. Descaiwith an additional black, sequin, and green dress selected by fashion stylist Thea Washington. Jaslene looked stunning and did a wonderful job of engaging the audience.
Posing on the Red Carpet
What I love the most about attending any fashion event is the creativity and talent that’s circulating in the room. From face masks to custom design apparel, everyone came out to be seen and noticed. The evening continued with a variety of performances between the nominee categories and recognition was given to those with a flair for beauty, fashion, and the arts. In the honorary words of the Fashion Awards MD, we should strive to “Inspire and Be Inspired.”
Building a professional wardrobe that’s affordable and timeless can be a difficult task but purchasing the right pieces can also be an investment.
Very often, your career will dictate a variety of social affairs such as attending an office meeting, company picnic, or even a happy hour.
To help us transition from the desk to a night out with our colleagues, I’ve provided a few dress options below for inspiration. The options shown take into consideration an individual’s personal style, figure type, and office setting.
Most importantly, one suggestion that I always recommend (to those seeking to build a professional wardrobe) is to shop a variety of brands that will helppull together the right professional wardrobe.
