papaya pariah (okay, not really, I just can't think of anything else that rhymes with 'papaya')

For those of who were curious about my nail polish, it's the "Green 11" shade from Urban Outfitters. It's not available online, but I'm pretty sure every UO store has it. UO's nail polishes are pretty thin/watery, but after a couple (hundred) layers, the colors are incredible!

I mentioned in this post that I am in love with J.Crew's papaya-colored pencil skirt, and well, I just could not wait to wear it. So lookie here, this lovely little skirt is already out and about not mere days after landing on my doorstep.

I also want to thank everyone for their awesome suggestions for Boyfriend's mom's birthday gift. I ended up taking Lisa's (from Respect the Shoes) suggestion of making a cool gardening-themed "gift bag." It was actually a lot of fun to put together, and here's the final result:

I stuffed it with gardening gloves, fruit tea, seed packets, chocolates, hand cream, and, of course, Miracle Gro, the Centrum A to Z of plants. I hope she loves it! Have a great weekend everybody, and don't forget to enter MY GIVEAWAY (OOO OOO CLICK ME)!
