Get winter items on super sale!

I am heading to the "Windy City" for a work event, and I really really really hope for three things to happen:

1. EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY 

2. I dont freeze my buns off too bad
3. I see some snow!!
(This southern girl rarely gets a glimpse)

So naturally -I have to hit the malls! prepare myself for this cold place.
I booked it to the outlets with Mateo, and picked up most of my pieces from Banana and Ann Taylor.
I never really diverge too far from these two for work clothes.
Everything was uber cheap! Check it out:

I got this second jacket for $40 and 3 heavy sweaters for $15 a piece. Go gettcha some gurrls. 

Hopefully I'll have a cool recap!!

In regards to the weekend, well it pretty much sucked. I had to run errands, errands, errands. Super boring. BUT I did fall in love with Instagram, and get to see my girl Net for some wine to zen my brain out.

Here is another engagement pic instagram style:

and WINE!

Hook up with me on Instagram, my name is Tessytessio. It's so much fun!

And that's all for now! Kristen will be guest posting on Tuesday, and then I will be back for some birfday madness. I'm feeling a little strange about my birthday this year.. but we'll chat about that later. I will say, I am ready to knock out wedding stuff, work stuff, and PARTY.

Peace out til Wednesday homies!!

My Favorite Manicure Product

This is my must-have at home manicure item:

I know I have talked about it before, but I wanted to show you the results. Julie showed me this and I now swear by it.

Check this out:

Before:

Apply a generous amount, wait a minute.

Take a q-tip, rub your cuticles and they literally dissolve off. It's magical.

After:

and the before picture wasn't that bad, trust me it's been worse before.

Now: this week has been absolutely INSANE at work, I'm heading off to chicago Monday AM and have a to do-list for the weekend thats pretty damn long. So why do I paint my nails like its my second job? Well, long story short it's because I used to BITE my nails like it was my second job. It was a nervous habit. So I am always terrified I'll start to bite them again, and am constantly painting pretty colors to distract myself.

So, somehow in my crazy mad week, I changed my color 3 times. and I realized:  it's still part of my nervousness. Here are my colors this week:

{OPI - Steady as she rose}

{Essie: Turquoise and Caicos}
I was mortified at how bright it was, being its still winter...

so I headed to the extreme opposite side....
{Essie: Midnight Cami}- (it looks way more blue in person)

I should post one more time before I zip out to Chi-town. and potentially have some guest bloggers while I'm gone. It's going to be madness.

Any bloggers have recs of where to eat,shop ect?? especially shopppp!!! Who am I kidding I'll prob have no time.

Love y'all!
