Pattern, Peeps & Pedicures

Inspiration is everywhere and this week we found it in Essie's latest resort collection.  The line is filled with pretty pinks and purples (and with interiors always on our mind), we coupled these shades with fabrics that pair just perfectly!

Which hue might you like to see in your Easter basket?  I'll take one of each, please!

GAT Beauty Buzz - Ombre Nails

Welcome to the GIRL ABOU TOWN (GAT) Beauty Buzz!

Staying true to the tagline "DRESSING people, parties AND places," 

I thought it only fitting to discuss a few beauty trends from time-to-time... 

As you can see, I am still obsessing over the whole ombre trend (in fashion, beauty and even here) so I asked Kelsey (one of our design interns) to put together a quick tutorial for Ombre Nails. 

Now you too can get this look every day!

            

Step # 1:  Chose two of your favorite nail polish colors. Here we show Essie's Cocktail Bling and Bobbing for Baubles

Step # 2:  Paint a base coat of clear polish followed by your first color choice.

Step # 3:  Place a small dot of the second color on a piece of paper or velum.

Step # 4:  Use a make-up sponge to blot the second color on the tips of your nails, and gradually work the sponge towards your cuticles.

Step # 5:  Paint a top coat with your clear polish.  

Step # 6:  Repeat on your second hand and enjoy!

Charm City Style - Sequins Day to Night

Adding a little sparkle somehow always seems to take a simple day outfit into evening with little effort.  This look was perfect for chilly temperatures in the morning, a quick trip to the dentist, design projects at the studio, followed by dinner with friends at night!

Charm City Style - Orange Crush

For the past few weeks I have been obsessing over this delicious color palette (much more Miami than Maryland I realize) however I thought I too would try it on for size...
