A woman backed into my car in the Starbucks parking lot this morning. I NEVER go to Starbucks during the week. I think it was God's way of telling me I shouldn't be buying overpriced (but deelish) coffee when I have coffee at work for free. Disgusting coffee, but free nonetheless.
Fortunately, the damage to my car is very minimal. We mostly just exchanged paint, but still ... not how you want to start your Friday off.
(Mom ... don't call me freaking out, I will call you.)I am, however, happy to report I learned a very valuable skill this week courtesy of my girl Miss Lou Lou herself. A DIY French Mani! She did laugh at me when I showed her what paint brush I purchased, but it was the cheapest one! Hello, a girl has to save a penny when she can. Plus, my nephew can totally use the water colors. It's a win-win, DUH!

| The acetone (Target brand), clear & french white polish (NYC brand) were each under a dollar. The paint set (ha!) was less than $1.50. |
Lastly, I was shopping at a store to remain nameless this week when I came across this HEINOUS (Beth's fave word) jeans. LEG WARMERS SEWED ONTO THE JEANS! What in the dickens? Who in their right mind? Don't even get me started. The sad part is someone probably bought these.
All right ladies, that's all I got for today. Random post, I know.
Except wait! I want to say HELLO to all my new bargainistas! I haven't had a chance to stalk all of your blogs yet, but I promise I will ASAP. Your sweet comments mean so much to me, thank you so much for following along!
Have a wonderful Friday, hopefully yours has been better than mine so far!
I think the jeans with sewed in leg warmers will make a comeback. Wait...were they EVER in to begin with? haha... They are horrid!
ReplyDeleteThe nails look awesome!
bahahahaha oh my gosh those jeans are the worst thing I have ever seen in a store!
ReplyDeleteI worry that someone is going to side swipe me ALL THE TIME. I'm so paranoid. But that really sucks girl! I'm sorry : (
Your nails look amazing... hopefully I can try that when mine finally grow a little.

my goal is to get my DIY french mani down pat. and if you're looking for the girl who bought those HENIOUS jeans...it was me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the DIY nails! I've been doing that for about two years now. I was getting a pedicure once, and the lady started putting on WAY too much white, but as I watched her, she started with another brush and evened everything out. And I've been doing that ever since.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog by the way!
There aren't even words for how fugly those jeans are. I didn't know whether or not to laugh. So ugly.
ReplyDeleteAnd your mani looks fabulous! I may have to give that a try this weekend!
Oh, I'm a new follower and loving your blog!
Those jeans never should have made it to the rack of ANY store - GROSS! And your mani? Well, I'm pretty impressed. I saw Lou Lou's tutorial and decided it was too damn difficult for my unsteady hand. I'm a lil jelly belly that you can do it though...!!
ReplyDeleteOh god those jeans are horrible! hahaa You're nails look great tho!
ReplyDeleteUgh, so sorry to hear about your car :( That's no fun. Love the nails though! I've been doing DIY French manicures for years but they've never turned out that perfect so I can't wait to try her technique! Hope your weekend is marvelous and far better than how the day got started for ya!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the accident, thank god it wasn't super serious! Fab job on the French mani, you did great. & those "jeans", WTF?

Your nails look great!
ReplyDeletegirl, i woke up to my dog barfing beside me 30 mins till my alarm went off. FAIL! The morning before I woke up to blood soaked sheets. Apparently I scratched something too hard and had dried blood running across my back. FAIL! lol
ReplyDeletehope your car doesnt look too bad! OH, I also scraped my car on a cement post. damn...my week sounds shitty.. lol
I'm sorry about your car but luckily it wasn't worse! And those Jean/leg warmers are pretty hideous. Someone probably will buy them though haha. Oh by the way, hi! I'm a new follower =)

its ok, my week has started crazy monday, my battery was dead on my car...ekkkkk
I don't know what's worse: small paint-scrapping accident, or wearing those jeans? I think I would seriously consider the accident...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)
K.
That stinks about your car, you are right not a fun way to start your Fri. Hopefully the rest of the weekend is fabulous. :)
ReplyDeleteThe jean/legwarmer pants are a little much. I find it hard to believe that someone would make those, let alone buy them! And after seeing Pink Lou Lou's french mani post a few days ago I totally did mine french too!
ReplyDeleteoh snap girlfriend your nails look awesome!!!! I want to try this I just need to find the time to do it!! hahah can't believe you bought a watercolors set toooo funny! have a fab weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then a girl deserves a Sbux treat, esp when she's doing her own nails!! :)
ReplyDeleteI hate when days start out like that but you are sportin some fab looking nails!! Hope your day has gotten better :)
ReplyDeleteI thought my morning started off bad - locked myself out of my apt building and apt - but car accident is worse :(
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the weekend is better!
I must have missed her post on this. Thanks for posting :)
ReplyDeleteThose are probably the ugliest jeans I have ever seen. Nevermind the person who bought these - who designs something like that?! Gross.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your accident. :(
P.S. I hit publish before I was done. I love your nails!! I've never been able to do a French manicure on myself, it always comes out looking like a 5 year old did it.
ReplyDeletewas the lady who backed into your car wearing those jeans? bahahaha.
ReplyDelete:)
KATY
hahaha EW those jeans are gross!!! I think I spot an elastic waistband as well?
ReplyDeletehaha wth is up with those jeans!!! omg! I can't wait to try Pink Lou Lou's french mani.
ReplyDeleteOhmagosh, I just noticed the elastic wasteband! Lord have mercy on the person that designed/purchased those!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the fender bender. At least she stuck around and didn't skip out on you.
ReplyDeleteYour nails look great!! How clever.
And yes, those jeans are bad. How hard it it to put on leg warmers OVER the jeans. What's next? Gloves sewn onto shirts?
Oh so sad to hear about your car! xo
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your nails turned out a lot better than mine did with Pink Lou Lou's trick. I couldn't find a paint brush so I used a new concealer brush.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the damage is minimal. Mine wasn't, the collision place at first told me it may be a write off! But thank goodness it's not. I wish people would pay a little more attention while driving!
ReplyDeleteLove the french manicure!
Those jeans are the WORST! Shame on the clothing buyer who put those in the store. Sorry about your auto accident!
ReplyDeletethat sucks about your car, but at least the damage was minimal... ugh. one of those mornings where you know you shoulda stayed in bed! LOL
ReplyDeleteand love the french mani! i did one lou lou style too. i think i need a better white paint though... but her idea was stellar! yours looks fantastic!
Oh my god those jeans are RIDICULOUS!! That just made my day! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteUmm...not only do they have legwarmers attached...but is that an ELASTIC WAISTBAND??? woooow
