OPI nail polish | Poppy's Style

I am getting so excited about my trip ‘home’ next week. Yes I’ll miss MM and the kids – but that is what Skype is for no? I’m still in a packing quandary but I see light at the end of the tunnel – now if it was sunlight not the threat of snow that would make things 10x easier. But hey ho it is England and nothing is more certain than the uncertainty of British weather.

I was picking up a few things for friends and family yesterday. One of the most requested items funnily enough is nail polish. OPI is half the price here. Mum wants A-to-Zurich and Sue wants Nein Nein Nein. I’ve been 50% successful – will keep looking Mum! Now, if I rate shopping for myself, I was 100% successful and I got myself a new favorite polish. I like nudes but some of them make my yellowy skin tone just looked so washed out when I haven’t had any sun. I found this one – My Very First Knockwurst – it’s a lovely grey nude and as ever it goes on beautifully. Still need to sort out my cuticles though – this darn weather plays havoc with my hands!

It was a tad dreary this morning – and I wanted to wear a snuggly knit. Also, I have decided that my AllSaints leather trousers need to be worn for everyday wear too – they were being saved for ‘best’ and therefore hardly worn. They are actually really comfy and warm – I love them with sneakers and a jumper. The Boden sparkle Skye jumper is perfect – and there are still quite a few of the regular versions in the clearance. You might want to size down if between sizes though as the fit is loose. I’m wearing it over a Forever21 color blocked top – mainly because it was close at hand this morning. Of course the sneakers are the Ash Alex. Sorry about the raindrops on film – not sure I had the right exposure considering how dark it was!
