Random hearts: We heart a rainy day...why? It's sooo much fun inside!

Rain...rain...go away (NO! Don't...we need you!!)

Come again another day (NO! Wait?!?! Stay!!! We looove staying indoors on rainy days)

Fireplace √ (or wall heater...or amazing vintage-esque oil heater)

Cozy Blanket or throw √

Hot Cocoa √

Cashmere PJs √√

Candles √

You got all of the above for these craaazy winter days???

OK, now what???

Baby when it's sooo cold out side. Bundle up and stay inside and snuggle like you have never snuggled before. And when you are done snuggling?

I mean how can you ever really be done snuggling...but when you are done..here are a few ways to get busy (not like that...you just got done with a snugglefest remember?)

1. Learn to cook or bake!

Grab your fave cookbook or go onto All Recipes or Madame Martha's site and have at it!

There are local markets (even some of the big guys) who do home grocery delivery if you run out of ingredients when your cookin' up a storm

2. Organize it...don't criticize it...(Peter Tosh anyone?)

Take a tip from the pros and slap that disarray and mess into submission! Go into your most feared pantry or closet and get to work! (PS donate your tossed clothing or goods to a local shelter Goodwill)

We LOVE Organize.com for their amazing ideas and labels.

3. Learn to give your self a mani/pedi!

Not only is it uber recessionista chic, but you deserve a lil' pampering!

Here's a great tutorial on how to do the perf self manicure (sounds dirty!)

4. Take a tip from Bastian and read a good book...

Let it take you to a far away land and get lost in it. Bigger brain = sexier girl (or boy)

Need another book but don't feel like going out and braving the elements?

Download one! You don't need a Nook or Kindle...

At Barnes and Noble they sell ebooks for your Iphone, Blackberry or Mac!!!

Radness!!!

5. Go thru all of your magazines (Miss Me and I are super guilty for hoarding our faves)...
Get inspired by your magazines that are lying around. Read the articles...they are great...get inspired to redecorate your abode. Play dress up in your newly organized closet and try to put together great ensembles like the ones you see in Vogue!

Go here for super cheap subscriptions and stock up for the next storm.

6. Still hungry? Order takeout...
Delivery.com has tons of restaurants in the big cities around the USofA that will deliver to you. Just type in your address and see who pops up! Try something you have never tried before...

Who needs to go outside to have and adventure?

So what ever you decide to do on a glorious rainy day...have fun...be creative...and stay cozy ;)

xoxo things we heart

Beauty-fuls: We heart getting nailed! (Part Deux) The summer brights edition!!!! And...Happy Birthday!!!

Ewwww...woke up this morning and checked out the ol polished paws and noticed...Ahhhh they are in great need of a revamp and a wee bit of moisturizer.

So I waltz in the nail place I heart and ran directly over to the wall of endless polish possiblities...

Hmmm, what to pick...what to pick? It's summer so it has to be fun and lively and look good with a (faux) tan...

Then I remembered....I have my fave go to color that makes me swooon everytime in my purse!

Every time we wear it, people ask what it is...so ladies (and a few cutie bean gents) our secrets of our fave summer polishes are about to be yours!

You're welcome!!

For some reason...our go to polish company is Essie. Not really sure why. We think it's simply because they have the best colors out there from natural to pop neon...

And this Essie color called Pink Parka is no exception! It's a bright shocking (but not too neon pink) We used it last time on our tooties and found every excuse not to wear closed toed shoes cuz we couldn't stop staring at our feet!

Now we know we named this post Summer Brights, cuz those colors look best in the 80 degree sunshiney days, but nothing says chic and classy like a gorge nude color on your fingers and toes.

OPI's Sand In My Suit is a TDF shade of nude...not to beige and not to pink...perfecto!

Here it is on a hand that is close to our skin color and we thinks we are about to pick this up at our fave beauty supply store ASAP!
PS Go to OPI today and you can "try" on any polish! Change the skin tone and nail length to see what looks best on you....fun!

Now for our newest obsession...the one that looks amazeballs on every skin tone and sassy on everyone...

Bright orange!!! It's far from 80's flourecent dayglo orange (although we heart that too) but just as shocking and bright!
This one from called Whack is like a tangerine on your tootsies. Soooo flattering and oh so summer chic!

OK...time for our secret color...the one we have to actually make an effort NOT to use every time we paint the paws...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Zoya Charisma! It looks exactly like this ridiculously stunning bright purpley pink stiletto by our boyfriend Christian Louboutin! Sooooooo beautiful!!!!!

We had to show you the shoe for 2 reasons...

1. We want it!!!

2. It really is the color of the polish...cuz if you look below at the color it looks like you would get the wrong idea...

See?!?! Not the same impact ;)
P.S. Zoya is an amazing polish company that was one of the first not to use those crazy harsh chemicals like formaldehyde (um hi...used to preserve dead people!)

Oh! Before we forget...another great polish company that has delish go to bright colors for the blazin days o' summer is China Glaze (horrible name but great colors...forgive them)

How fantastic, right?!???! Stolen from here...

Now...you know what else looks chic and drips sex (ooh!) ? Gold and a tan...yummers!!!!

Hahahah...OK maybe not THOSE gold nails but these Press On nails on steroids from Dashing Diva are f'n rad!!!!
Press on and voila! Perfect Goldfinger (literally) gold....throw on a tee and tons of rings and you are soooooo hot!!!

So there you have it...a few of our go to secret polishes...try one or all you will kiss us! Just not with tongue this time...we are both a bit under the weather!

xoxo things we heart....

AND LAST BUT NEVER...EVER....EVER...EVER...LEAST...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ME!!!!

LOVE YOU!!!
