Lady Like
is so beautiful, so perfect, so.. so... I can't go on... it brings tears to my eyes. Except not. But, no joke, I LOVE this color. It was a dream to apply, stayed on for a week with no chips, and looked damn gorgeous while doing it. This color is definitely now one of my all-time favorites. Since it's
ALREADY
snowing (what the fudge?) in Philadelphia today, I'm getting
sew psyched
about wearing dusty, muted shades all though the
chinchilly
winter. See what I did there, that's called nail humor.

foldover clutch
. The quality is fantastic, hence the hefty pricetags. But if you're looking for a simple, sophisticated, high-quality, leather clutch or bag and willing to spend the money, these bags are perfect. I especially love the brightly colored clutches since they are a great way to pop an unexpected color into an outfit.

I made the mistake of looking at
Topshop
's website yesterday and it was
depressing
-- my bank account is empty, but my shopping cart was full. So full, in fact, that the total cost of all the items I wanted was $919. $919?!?! Keep dreaming, Chelsea. I guess I will just have to drool over these two dresses from behind my computer screen.

I'm flabbergasted at how
into
this color I am since I'm normally pretty ambivalent towards deep reds and maroons. I fell in love with
Butter LONDON's "La Moss"
as soon as I started painting it on my nails. It is the most amazing bloody, rich red -- exactly what I want for the Fall. It was a little difficult to apply -- could be patchy in some places -- but the color is so perfect and it lasts so long that I ignore that fact. If you want full, opaque coverage -- especially in the sun -- I'd recommend three thick coats.
Now lady friends, I know Butter LONDON polishes are expensive... so if you don't know of any promotions running on them currently, check out
Skinstore.com
, AKA my new skincare retailer FOR LIFE. BFFS. Chelsea and Skinstore sitting in a tree. They are on
Ebates
too! I recently discovered this online shop and found out they always are running 20% off promotions, running daily deals, and they sell EVERYTHING: makeup, skincare, nail polish, haircare, etc. Their discounts +
Ebates
rebates = SAVINGS. I just bought some
Korres
products yesterday and my wishlist is insanely long. My name is Chelsea and I have an addiction to promotional codes and free shipping.

Last Call by Neiman Marcus
I'm only on the lookout for cheap J Brand jeans, but I found this gorgeous
Adam Lippes
silk tank with amazing beading on sale for a
MAJOR
discount. I had never heard of this designer before, but I've since googled and found other beautifully beaded pieces I covet. I ended up paying about $75 for this top since there was an additional discount going on for Columbus Day. While that was still
a lot
, it felt very worth it for me since I loved it and how it looked on me SO much. I tend to create fantasy lives based off clothing items that I buy and for some reason when I was trying this on in the dressing room I was a
late 20s/early 30s woman living in San Francisco, at a roof top cocktail party at a friend's apartment
. Don't ask, it's just what my brain thinks up -- some call it delusion, I call it imagination.
No way! I did not pay either of those prices!!!!

I made
a video
where I go through my favorite colors for the new season, but I wanted to share my picks here as well. The color themes I am most excited for this Fall are berries, bloody reds, purples, greens, oranges, and metallics. NOTE: This is by no means the complete list. I picked exactly 20 colors from my collection -- mostly because that many colors would fill up the nail wheel -- but I could have kept going! (You may recognize some of these colors from previous

I had heard lots of great things about this polish color so I picked it up recently, but I was not too blown away by
OPI's You Don't Know Jacques
! It's a taupe-y brownish color and will look nice in my Fall color palette. It's definitely showing up much darker in my photos because the nails aren't in the sun with this rainy, dreary weather. Overall I like it, but I don't
love
it. I did a pretty crappy application because I was all curled up ready to go to bed Sunday night, and then I realized that I didn't have any nail polish on for the week. No way José -- I vow to rock a color each week and I will
keep
that promise! Perhaps the only New Year's Resolution-esque promise I've ever made and kept so far? Two coats were a little opaque in places so I used three coats on some nails. Chipped a tiny bit (hence all pictures are of my left hand), but probably just because I put it on in a rush. Have you ever tried this polish? What do you think?

I really did not get any good pictures of my outfits during our wedding weekend, only quick snapshots with the flash at the end of the day (ignore how intoxicated I may or may not be in the last picture, it was 3 am!). It was a great weekend and SUCH an amazing wedding, we had a blast. Ryan had to deliver his best man speech, which he has been obsessing over for about a year! It was a success, of course! We're so happy for his brother and his new wife and hopefully they are having fun on their honeymoon right now!
