My goodness, I haven't done a manicure Monday in ages! That's due to my tight budget and the fact that my local drug stores do not have the latest Essie collections or any other polish worth buying.

Before Spring Break, I went to Harmon's Discount Store near my school. I've never been and when I walked in, I died and went to heaven. They had so many beauty products for such a discounted price, I didn't believe it was real. I went a little crazy and bought some stuff I needed for vacation but also bought some stuff I didn't.

One of those impulse purchases was from Essie's Winter Collection, a gorgeous blue polish titled "Parka Perfect". Even though it was from an older collection and not a summer color, I needed it. 

It definitely looked more grey in the bottle and once I painted my nails, it turned an ice, cold blue. I think it's perfect for the weather transition we're in right now and I'm kind of in love with it. 

When I go home next, I'm going to need to make a serious trip to my drug stores to find the new Essie collection because well, have you seen them?

I have not been online shopping recently because my bank account has been at an all time low. I have stayed away from my favorite brand websites because I cannot be tempted. 

That is until I saw on social media that the Spring 2014 Lilly Pulitzer collection was released yesterday. I saw all the new, beautiful prints and had to take a gander at what Ms. P was showing.

Oh My Goodness. I am in pure heaven. I think I've fallen in love and I can't get up. 

I always love Lilly's collections so I don't know what's gotten into me but I'm seriously obsessed with the new prints. Maybe I'm secretly aching for warmer weather because NYC has been super dreary with all this tundra coldness and snow but my jaw was dropping every time I saw something new from this collection.

It's so bright, so colorful, so Lilly. My favorite print is without a doubt, "Behind the Gate". I will have something in this print ASAP, I need too!

Here are my favorite pieces from the Spring 2014 collection:
