Save your little ears!


Earrings by Juicy Couture




I have extremely sensitive ears. Even yellow gold can send my ear lobes over the deep end. If you have your ears pierced then I'm sure you've seen what an infected ear can look like. It's not pretty and it results in limiting what kind of earrings you can wear. In my pretty little world, that's a bummer, because sometimes the best earrings aren't made out of the finest metals but are still so beautiful. I've tweeted this tip before, but clear nail polish can solve this problem.

1. Invest in a pair of earring backs that will not infect your ears. Most jewelry stores will sell you gold or platinum backs for $10-$20 per back. 
2. Paint any part of the earring that touches your skin with clear nail polish. I usually paint on three coats. Let the earrings dry between coats. 

Note: Try not to wear the earrings in water. The clear nail polish acts like it does on your nails - it will chip! If your ears start turning that dreaded shade of pink, you know it's time to repaint. If you want to be extra cautious repaint after every 2-3 wears!

Florsheim Shoes {closed}

Thank you to all that entered and congrats to EMMA for winning!  xo You know when you first meet a handsome boy, in my case it was a bar, and everything about him is near perfect. His chiseled features, dark shiny hair, and stunning light blue eyes. Then you look down, and gasp, he's wearing sneakers. Not your run of the mill, fashion forward footwear, but we are talking Nike, Adidas, etc. running shoes. He's wearing them in a bar, with jeans, and a polo. If you're anything like me, the only times tennis shoes are acceptable are on the elliptical machine or running a half marathon. This boy turned out to be the love of my life, and with little resistance I was able to turn him into my fashionable sidekick. With a little help from  Florsheim  you can take your Valentine from sorry to sexy with a pair of shoes courtesy of this luxury brand. I've put together some inspirational looks for you. Just remember, you may not able to c...

caged in.

If you follow me on Instagram  you've seen these flats pop up numerous times. I own them in nude and red, and to be 100% transparent just purchased a replacement nude pair. While they aren't the gorgeous $900 Valentino Rockstud Cage Flats , I could care less, I bought them because I LOVE the style. I wish I could make myself spend $900 on shoes; however, at this point traveling, decorating my new home and investing in my future are more important. I can't have it all! Those of you with Rockstuds : Yes, I'm jealous. If you'd like the link to these shoes, they are so comfy, follow me on Instagram and send me a direct message -  @McKerihan . Please note: I know there are many that have very strong opinions about knockoffs. These shoes do not bare the Valentino tag, nor do they replicate the exact design. They are simply 'inspired by'. If you're wearing anything from Forever 21, Old Navy, Gap, even lower priced brands from Nordstrom chances are your...
