WHY DON'T YOU...?

...paint your nails navy blue? Joanna recommends Essie's "Midnight Cami."
...monogram a sweater? This one will cost you a pretty penny but you can get the same look by adding a $10 monogram to this sweater.
...pair classic navy stripes with playful gold baubles? (And check out my list of must-have jewelry here!)
...class up your morning coffee run? I'm eyeing this J.Crew jacket to recreate Olivia Palermo's effortless look.
...tie a bow in your hair? The weekend is the perfect time to go all-out girly. 

My brother and sister are coming home from college this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to catch up and spend some quality time together! What are your plans? Have a good one!
