Lots of Candles = Lots of Wishes

Marilyn Monroe Celebrating Her 30th
There will be 30 candles on my birthday cake this weekend. 30 years of growing up, learning lessons and having a really lovely life. The third decade feels like a much more comfortable decade than any of the last. Think about it, your twenties is so chock full of life changes that it is hard to ever feel remotely settled. From college, to first jobs, to first house, to first loves, to first real heart breaks, to all the messiness that made you. Not that being thirty won't have its own surprises, but at least we have a bit more experience to make better decisions. When I went to research advice on "turning 30" it was all so cliched and negative. I find it very hard to believe, from the perspective I have now, that I will not enjoy the next ten years. There is no doubt that at thirty you have a better idea of who you are, who you want to be and possibly how to get there. I could do without the forehead wrinkles, but if I have learned anything, it is not to obsess about things you cannot control. And that they make great serums that.

 So my wish this weekend is that all those turning thirty with me this year will embrace it, have a few drinks to get over it and revile in the confidence you have now that you certainly never had at 20.

Back to School Satchel

I know it is a tad early to start thinking about Fall, but really it is never too early to start shopping for it. We all want some fresh pieces to bring us into the cooler weather, sweater season and the general "Back to School" mentality. 

Long have I coveted for a Proenza Schouler PS1 satchel. It comes in a few different sizes and endless color options. It is my current dream bag and I am hoping I get all A's next semester so I can have one. Or at least save my pennies to splurge on one. 

And though the PS1 is quite pricey, there are many options out there to help us next season. Whether headed back to school, back to work, or back to cold weather, you always want some freshly sharpened pencils and a new accessory to soften the blow of more work and less play. 

1. Proenza Shouler PS1 Medium leather satchel at Net-A-Porter $1595
2. Leather satchel with lock from Topshop $110
3. Miu Miu small leather satchel at Net-A-Porter $1350
4. Black leather satchel at ASOS $120 (there were a lot of great styles for great prices here)
5. Kristen round satchel from Coach $698
6. Darlington satchel from J. Crew $278
7. Giani Bernini grey satchel at Macy's $88
8. Miss Gustto yellow satchel at Bluefly $75
9. Mulberry Alexa satchel at Net-A-Porter $1200
10. Lane Line satchel at Anthropologie $278
11. Susan Farber Derby crossbody satchel at Nordstrom $183
12. Bridgette satchel from French Connection $90

Lip Service: Hints of Color

Lip stick can be a little scary at times. That full on pigmented color needs to be applied correctly, retouched and needs multiple mirror checks. When it comes to every day and wanting to add a little color to your lips, these three options are much less scary and give you just a bit of juicy color to brighten up your face and your day. Bonus is they all have a bit of shine and moisture to keep your pucker soft. I keep all three in my bag (clearly the Kiehl's tube has seen better days) and pick the color that best matches my mood. Each have a hint of pink to them, but the consitency is different.

Smith's Rosebud Salve smells like rose petals and is a soft balm with a hint of pink. It also can be used on cuticles, any dry skin you have or diaper rash for your little one.

Fresh's Sugar Rose lip treatment has SPF 15 and is a soft pink stick that is easy to apply. It also smells divine.

The Kiehl's lip gloss has the most color, but is not as red at the tube implies. No fragrance, but has an easy applicator.   I like it in Golden Berry, but there are a ton of great color options.

Surprising Kitchens from Ikea

Ikea has always been a great place to browse and maybe pick up a piece or two that you either don't want to spend a bunch of money on or caught your eye and could not live without. It has come a long way from college apartment furniture and your go to place for a TV stand. 

While we all want the kitchen of our dreams, with this economy and real estate market the days of pouring your life savings into it are pretty much over. Well at least for most of us. Ikea has seriously stepped up to the plate with affordable options to give you a super chic and functional space that will look every bit as great as the neighbors who drained their 401ks. 

PS: My other favorite find at Ikea right now is house plants. Although I am struggling to keep them alive, they have the best plants for cheap with great pots.

Getting Personal: Aztec & Navajo Inspired Prints

I was told years ago, from a very wise woman that "Prints are Personal." Out of all of the advice I have heard on style, this has resonated with me the most. She told me this because she often helps me shop and we always had very different opinions on prints. While I tend to maybe pick one piece a season with a bold print and brutally scrutinize it in the dressing room mirror, she can instantly see a print she loves and how to incorporate it into her life. 

With endless and beautiful options on prints season after season, I think we can all agree to disagree with what prints we love and those we hate. From large graphic prints to delicate florals, prints change with the seasons and your mood. Don't let anyone talk you into a print, because you will never wear it. Trust me, I have evidence of salesgirl print pushing hanging in my closet with the tags still sadly hanging from the sleeves. 

To give you some print inspiration, DVF and Isabel Marant showed some Aztec and Navajo inspired prints that are fun and very different. 


vogue.com
What I am finding fun about these prints are the diversity and the way it can be quite bold as Lady Furstenberg has showed us or more subtle as the uber-chic Isabel displays. 

Now as the advice says, you could absolutely loathe these prints, and that is just fine with me. Because the more opinion you have about prints, the more likely you are to find the perfect one for yourself. 



1. Aztec Party Dress by All Saints $460
2. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Aztec Bra top Romper at Revolve Clothing $294
3. Pippa Lynn Print Pleated Skirt at ASOS $86

Weekend Wish

Photos: vogue.com
Meet Selby Drummond, the Accessories Editor at Vogue. Do you hate her already? I know, me too. But I also can't help but love her and think about how fab her life must be. Not only is she stunning, she has access to all the most amazing accessories and fashion in the world, and her office desk sits in the coveted offices of Vogue. And though my weekend wish of working there one day has no chance of happening, at least we can be inspired by Selby's fantastic taste. It is all perfection. The mint and black combo, the pink trousers, that Celine handbag, and all the jewelry is lovely. So even though we might not be Selby one day, I love how Vogue lets us live vicariously through their staffers on Vogue.com. Here's to all your wishes coming true this weekend. I will be waiting by the phone for a call from Anna Wintour.

Orange You Glad It's Summer?

Matching nail colors from fingers to toes is not necessary. I know most people do, but it is more fun to switch it up and have some fun with your colors. Keeping the two colors in the same family keeps it chic and will make it easier to switch up your matching routine. Dark on toes and lighter on hands works best, more so because your hands are much more likely to chip first. This summer orange is really dominating my digits and this combo is my favorite. Corally, orange red, E-nuf is E-nuf changes colors in different lighting. Sherbet looking Tart Deco is really fun and perfect for those that do not deviate far from pale pink. The coral family of colors from Essie are gorgeous and well stocked at your local nail spot. If not, Target is now carrying most colors. As if you need another reason to go there?

Black and White All Over

I posted a picture of this gem of a vintage clutch that was an amazing find for a serious steal. This rarely happens, but sometimes you just stumble across a piece that can be incorporated so well into your wardrobe and you wonder how you ever lived without it. Having no guilt from the purchase also feels pretty freaking great. 


Many of the August issues of my favorite mags were showing black and white accessories for Fall and I thought I would take a look around for similar finds to the above. How cute would these be with a chunky cable knit and high waisted bell bottom jeans? Yes, the retro seventies trends are turning up for fall and I have to say it is great. Breezy, college prep mixed with nights at Studio 54. Sign me up!

1. Burberry leather trimmed cotton tote at Net-A-Porter $1395
2. Meredith Wendell Bucket leather and canvas shoulder bag at Net-A-Porter $795
3. Rebecca Minkoff linen and patent Morning After Clutch at Revolve Clothing $225
4. Color Block Flat Lock Bag at ASOS $34

Turtle Time

While tortoise has long been the material of choice for preppy sunglass wearers everywhere, we have been seeing new ways to incorporate it into your accessories. There is something really fresh and pulled together about adding these speckled watches to your bare or bangle-filled wrists. Pairing any of these with a crisp white shirt, your favorite jeans and some summer wedges or espadrilles feels so Jackie O in Hyannis Port. But really the beauty of tortoise is that it goes with everything, so feel free to edge it up a bit. Actually, maybe a lot. 


1. Nixon 'The Time Teller' Watch from Nordstrom $150
2. Triwa turtle gold tone watch from ASOS $129
3. Michael Kors flat link watch at Endless $150
4. Tortoise bracelet watch by Anne Klein $65
5. Michael Kors square gold tortoise analog watch from Zappos $180

Jump Start on Weekend Wish

I know it is only Thursday, but my weekend starts today. I am lucky enough to be hosting a gaggle of ladies that are flying in for a fun weekend in Chicago.

These ladies happen to be fellow Wildcats (AZ not KY or NW), like myself and our yearly visits are something we look forward to for months.

I am giddy with anticipation and looking forward to some sun, shopping, sailing, laughing a lot, and eating yummy Chicago food.

My wish is that you catch up with some of your nearest and dearest this weekend as well. Even if it is just a phone call.

Showing your Tribe

There are some pieces in my jewelry box that I can barely remember where they came from. Old hemp necklaces from summer camp, tarnished rings bought at a holiday sale, and shiny crosses from Nana. I was sifting through a lot of these treasures and came across this elephant hair bracelet, something I do remember getting from my father at some point during my teen years. 


And though I do not remember how he came to acquire it, I know that he was proud to give it as they are not made anymore (for obvious humane reasons) and it came from someplace special. 

I did a little research and found out that elephant hair bracelets are swathed in legend and were used as a way to protect those that wore them. African mythology has told that the elephant forms a connection between heaven and earth. By wearing the bracelet you are blessed with love, health, prosperity, and progress.

It is fun to think of the tribes that used to wear these bracelets and the power they felt with it. Needless to say, I am trying to find ways to incorporate it into my accessorizing. 

Tribal accessories have been popping up everywhere and there are some fun (not as authentic) options to help you find your tribe pride, whatever that might be. 



1. Large Ruma horn bangle set Kora Designs $150
2. Juicy Couture Laurel Canyon dip dye fringe necklace from Zappos Couture $70
3. House of Harlow 1960 tribal three stack ring in gold from Boutique to You $62
4. Kenneth Jay Lane tribal earrings from Zappos $225

Style Snapshot: Kat

One Chicago girl that always seems to have that effortlessness we are striving for, Kat, shares with us her all around favorites. From fashion to beauty to jewelry, she loves trying new things and searching for  what works best for her.  


'I really like the Kate Somerville line of skin care products. Right now, I am using  the Detox Cleanser Wash to wash my face.  Then, Anti-Bac Clearing Lotion to follow by putting a thin layer over the areas of my face that tend to break out (Chin) morning and night.  At night I like to use the Clearing Mask as a spot treatment. I dab it on and sleep with it… it’s amazing for those times you start to feel a zit coming on – put some of this on and sleep in it and it’s crazy because that zit will never surface!


For facials I go to Chrissy Lee at Bliss Spa who works wonders on my face. I see her frequently for their Microdermabrasion and Crystal Clearing Facials. I never walk out with even the slightest bit red or irritation – she is my miracle worker!

I love lash treatments and have been trying a few things out. Arita at Exhale Spa is the only one I trust to tint and curl my lashes. I go before any big vacation and it lasts for 6 weeks. Although, recently, I tried Lashdip at Flutter Last Studio. It is an innovative cosmetic application where your lashes are "dipped" in a semi-permanent mascara and it lasts for up to six weeks. You are left with gorgeous, sculpted, painted lashes through any activity. This treatment makes my lashes super thick, the only downside is sometimes my lashes in the corners stick temporarily together and I have to blink a few times to unstick. Worth it! I have also been using Latisse now for 5 months and it is no joke. My lashes are super long. I sometimes have to take a few days off because they get too long! 

For my face, I cannot live without my La Mer. It is pricey, but it is the only moisturizer that makes my skin feel super soft and does not irritate. I use the the Gel Cream during the day as it is lighter and does not make me greasy. Then at night and winter time I use the Moisturizing Cream to really hydrate, as it is a lot heavier. For sunscreen I mix in La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra light Sunscreen Fluid with the La Mer Gel Cream. It is super light and non-whitening and is great for my super sensitive skin. And for my eyes I use Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Cream. I love this eye cream as I really feel it hydrating and soothing puffiness as well as my dark circles.

I am obsessed with the No! No! Skin. It literally erases any zit large or small in 24-36 hours. It comes away with me on every trip. It uses light and heat to remove acne and lives up to the hype.

I was the worst about using any form of sunscreen growing up… more like baby oil while at the beach. Now that I’m stepping into my 30s, I am starting to see why they say it’s so important to protect your skin. For light discoloration I’m honestly torn between two amazing products… I’ve had the same great results with each. SkinCeuticals Pigment Regulator and Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector.

For fragrance I switch it up, but not too much. For a light, fresh scent during the day I use Fresh Sugar Lychee. Then at night I have two favorites I alternate between, Chloe by Chloe and Stella by Stella McCartney.


With my hair I like to mix it up. I love the Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner. I also use a bunch of the Keratase products. The Bain Volumactive Volumizing Shampoo  and Ciment Anti-Usure help treat damaged hair, but add volume as well. The Ciment Thermique Repair Leave In Conditioner keeps hair really healthy and protects from heat damage. And the Spray Volumactive Volumizing Hairspray creates fullness and shine while giving you some control. I don't like to wash my hair every day to I opt for Batiste Dry Shampoo - Tropical scent. I’ve tried them all and this works best for my light hair and smells super yummy. It totally gives great added texture and body and actually helps hide my roots when I’m in desperate need of a highlight.  The only Con is that you have to order online from Amazon so when in a bind I buy the TRESemme version from CVS or Walgreens. It works great and smells good too. To style my hair, I have been using the GHD Professional Straightener for 3 years and it is still amazing. It is the only styling tool I need to straighten, curl or make my hair wavy. 



Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips are super quick, fun and easy to put on and did I mention they last up to 10 days no chipping! For someone like me who has zero patience to wait for my nails to dry these are a must have.

Favorite Flats: Lanvin

Some Favorite Summer Shoes

Herve Leger, a go-to for formal events
Latest Additions: McQueen and Louboutin
Latest finds from Lulu's for vintage jewelry
For clothes I love to shop online, maybe too much! Shopbop and Net-a-Porter have the best selection. I also like Revolve Clothing, Forward Forward,  and Singer 22. When shopping in the city, I love Intermix and visit Heidi Best at Neiman Marcus on Michigan Ave.  For great vintage jewelry finds, I go to Lulu's at the Belle Kay in Lakeview. E-Drop Off also has great designer pieces on consignment that you can shop or drop off to when cleaning your closet out.  




I like to keep organized and use clear boxes for all of my shoes and divided trays from the Container Store for my accessories. I also keep all my jewelry in one place so I can browse and pick out what might work easily. Another time saver is that I keep pictures of outfits I love so I can reference them when putting a look together. 






Running on the lake and through the Lincoln Park Zoo are my weekend workout staples. I always have to stop to say hi to my seals! When I take my workout indoors, I go to Shred 415, an indoor interval work out on a treadmill.  I also love the C2 and Sculpt classes at Corepower Yoga.  I like to wear Lululemon work out clothes and especially love their Run Energy Skirt, which is great for running on the lake or running errands. I had been waiting for Sketcher Shape Ups to release a pair that do not look so much like nursing shoes. I ordered this pair and have been living in them. I have to admit they make my legs and butt super sore - in a good way! I know they are working and I don't feel as guilty missing a workout session when I have worn these around all day.'

Mix and Matched

cocokelley.blogspot.com/
There is something really special and girlie about using a mix matched set of vintage glasses for a party. I have been lucky enough to receive a few fun sets as gifts and hand me downs over the years and I love the idea of using them for a sunset cocktail party with friends.

The best place to shop for these glasses is flea markets, antique shops, and estate sales. While usually finding an entire set is impossible or outrageously expensive, you can have fun picking one or two of your favorite patterns out to mix in with other finds. 

Mixing crystal, pink glass, silver rimmed, etched, long stemmed, and goblets is great. In my opinion, the less matched the better. 

Anthropologie always has a great selection at their stores and I found a few other vendors with some options to get you started.



1. Horta champagne glass, small from Anthropologie $12
2. Set of 12 Vintage Cut Crystal glasses on Ebay bid at $75
3. Vintage pink floral glass tumblers by 1GlassyDealer on Etsy $50 for 2
4. Rippled coupe champagne glass from Anthropologie $14
5. Helianthus Goblet from Anthropologie $8
6. Kate Spade New York "Gardner Street" Stemware at Bloomingdale's $40-$45 
7. Vintage etched glass goblet set by OldNewsCollective on Etsy $10

Cheers!

Weekend Wish: The Power of Iceland

To say my skin has been "acting out" recently would be a huge understatement. While I take measures to avoid breakouts according to the recommendations of my dermo, it seems that these strong products are not doing the trick.

My husband recently went to Iceland and brought back an Icelandic Silica Mud Mask from the Blue Lagoon. Like most people on the planet, I know next to nothing about Iceland except that they have hot springs. Which is where this magic mud is found.

So my wish is this weekend is that this magical mask calms my skin and brings me back to a face that does include pimples.

In my first attempts at this super silky mask, I did notice that it makes your skin uber-soft and from what it claims to do, detoxifies all of your pores. It begins in a creamy texture and then dries to a chalky layer that is easy to wash off.


The mask is hypoallergenic, free of colors and fragrance, and dermo tested. Here's to hoping that this mask can clear up and clean out my skin. 

If you are looking for other ways to bring a little Iceland home, I have heard great things about the Skyn Iceland brand that uses ancient glacier waters in all of its products.

Have a great and fabulous skin filled weekend!

Color Block Party

One of the greatest trends for summer into fall this year is color blocking. But not just your usual color stories and combinations, fresh and different stlyes that give this long-standing trend a new twist. I decided to give it a go with some pieces from my own closet. It made me think of things I already had in a new way. These are some looks I will be sporting in the weeks to come.


Time for you to play dress up and throw on some different pieces that you would never normally put together. You will be surprised at how they can fall into place. Whether strange color-combos like the peach, green and purple above, or classic black and white put together in a new way, the best thing to come out of it will be a few new outfits from what you already own.

Would love to see what you come up with! Email me pics at erin@imperfectpolish.com.

Style Snapshot: Julie

In our next profile, the lovely Julie shares with us her favorite products, labels, and fitness spots. She lives in Chicago (LP) and is the Director of Marketing at Saks Fifth Avenue. With a fun job like that, Julie is super busy and has to stay chic. Here are her secrets on how she keeps it all together.

'I am fortunate enough to work in one the most amazing luxury fashion houses, so shopping (fortunately and unfortunately!) comes easily.  When I travel, I love to shop--Paris, New York, how could you not?!  I recently was in the Hamptons and fell in love with all of the local boutiques.  It's fun to stumble upon things I couldn't find at home.  But in Chicago, of course, my go-to is Saks.  We house some of the best brands in the city, so it makes it hard to look elsewhere.  I have to say, I jump around from designer to department.  But my favorites right now are Yigal Azrouel and Pauw.  I also love Rag & Bone and Rebecca Taylor.  I love color and dresses and that's what it's all about this season! 

I'm not a big jeans girl.  If I do wear them, I'm usually wearing the skinnys by J Brand.  And thankfully the wide-leg 1970s-inspired trousers are back this season.  I love utility-style pants.  I picked up a pair of army green Isabel Marant cargo-esque pants this season and wear them all the time - heels, flats, flip flops - it doesn't matter!  My boyfriend calls them my uniform.


I have to say, when I'm not at work or going to an event, I love J. Crew and I seem to be always running around in workout clothes.  On weekends, I'm usually in shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops.  I love casual and Chicago is the perfect city for it.  The best part about J. Crew is that they know how to do casual chic.  Not to mention, their costume jewelry is my absolute favorite!

I'm pretty laid back about my beauty regime.  My mom never let me wear much make-up as a kid and I think I still adopt that mentality.  It's really just mascara, concealer and bronzer for me.  I love Guerlain's Le 2 - essentially two mascaras in one.  I have a natural reddish complexion, so I'll use just about any bronzer.  I'm obsessed with Bobby Brown's Concealer Kit.  It's a one-stop shop fix-all!  I'm a true sucker for lip gloss.  If you open any of my handbags, you'll find many!  My favorites are YSL, Guerlain and Chanel.  But I have to say, my all-time favorite for the lips is Burt's Bees lip balm.  I think I apply it 10 times a day! 



To wash the make-up off, I keep it pretty simple too.  My mom also taught me to take good care of my skin (wise woman, right?!).  I splurge on my products and switch off between Sisley and Guerlain.  A good cleanser and moisturizer for all seasons is a must.  And I love eye cream...my splurge this year was L'Or de Vie by Dior.  I think the secret though (don't laugh!) is my eye mask.  I started sleeping with an eye mask when I lived in Paris and didn't have blinds.  The sun woke me up every morning.  I swear it keeps my eyes rested and I sleep longer.  I take it with me everywhere I go.

I have to admit, I do love being bronzed, but my sensitive Croatian skin allows minimal amounts of natural sun.  Because we have so few months of warmth in Chicago, I go to Ortanic at Fitness Formula Clubs for a natural glow.  When I do get outside, I cover up with Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer.  It's the best!  And it doesn't rub off when I exercise. 

Hair is something I refuse to make challenging.  I use just about any shampoo and conditioner - I love all the Dove products.  I wear my hair curly in the summer and in the the winter, I'm usually running around with it pulled back.  Blowing out my hair is something I always seek to perfect.  My ultimate pamper is my hair stylist Alyn Topper.  I'm naturally blond, so my upkeep isn't too strenuous.  But Alyn uses a technique called balayage, which keeps the hair looking very natural and it lasts longer.  I LOVE Alyn!!

My job keeps me very active and social.  And to keep up, I love to workout.  I like to mix it up; I find that the same workout routine is boring.  I try to do something different every day.  Some of my favorites are Core Power Yoga, Core Fusion at Exhale, Shred 415, All About Dance, tennis at Midtown, and Tabata with Julie Valenti at Equinox.  I retired my running shoes after two marathons, but it's hard to resist a run on the lake in the summer.  To live in Chicago, I think it's what we all long for!

Take A Peek

As we have seen on some of our favorite leading ladies, going sheer can be done tastefully. 


Jennifer may be pushing the boundaries a bit, but it still works. Going sheer is a great way to layer in the warmer months and a fun way to be a bit daring without actually showing much skin. 

Staples in my closet include a ton of sheer tanks, tees and blouses that are layered with something light underneath, a lacy bralet, or a bold colored one. 

Two on left are Top Secret, bralet on left is The Lake & Stars
So many designers have been using this layering in pieces, but not in a garish way. Whether it is a glimpse at a shoulder, a wrist, the small of your back, there is something really coquette-ish about getting a glimpse through your clothes, without actually seeing anything taboo. 

1. DKNY stretch silk crepe de chine blouse Net-A-Porter $185
2. Sheer knit top from Forever 21 $15
3. Solstice print pink maxi skirt Topshop $100
4. Elisabeth and James Trish sheer shoulder dress at CUSP $395
5. Sheer boyfriend dress shirt Calvin Klein $40
6. Beyond Vintage sheer V-neck blouse at CUSP $180
8. Jay Godfrey Santorini cape-sleeve dress at CUSP $265
9. Halston Heritage pleated chiffon dress Net-A-Porter $455
10. Pink sheer scallop beaded crop vest Topshop $76
11. Alice & Olivia Cassie sheer-stripe cardigan CUSP $275
12. Sheer camel shirt from Victoria's Secret $39
13. Maddie dress by Goldie Topshop $96

Weekend Wishes

Here is to a lovely long weekend to celebrate all things Americana.

Let's wish for sun, sand, pool time, sparklers, BBQs, parades, Popsicles, sundresses, ice cold lemonade (spiked), and while we are at it great hair.

My wish is that I make one of these fun holiday inspired desserts from Martha Stewart. All of which have fresh berries on them, what could be better at the height of the season?

I wish for your flags to fly high and your days be filled with fun with friends and family.

Enjoy the extra day!
