So tell me: What's your color of the moment? What do you think about my head-to-toe (literally) gray look? Should I add more color?

What's your color of the moment?
The other week my friend Lindsay told me that lately she's been obsessed with anything gray. My response was, "Really?" But recently I've noticed that I've hopped on the gray bandwagon without even realizing it! I've been rocking OPI's Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees (gotta love those names!) on my tootsies for a month, and when I was home, everything I wore was either gray, black or beige. Well, it turns out I've kept the trend going! Last night I met my boyfriend and cousin, Chris, out for drinks and this is what I wore.
Gray scarf, check. Gray sweater, check. Geeze, I look like a lump of charcoal! I'm feeling quite bloated and just all-around icky from overindulging during the holidays, so I was hesitant to put this picture up, but a few of you said you'd like to see more of ME on the blog, so here I am! My jeans are definitely feeling snug, and it is just not cool, man. I'm going to wear leggings, gray leggings perhaps, until I get back to my normal self. And no one can stop me because I don't have a job! Haha
I love this gray ToyWatch my bf got me last year for my birthday. The battery is dead, but that didn't stop me from wearing it! Ohh and can we just talk about how crisp and clear my pics are today?! I'm posting deets on my snazzy new camera later. I love it!

Are you ready for this? I got a mani/pedi today!!!
It would have been pretty sweet to have waited until my 100th day anniversary (today is my 90th) without a mani/pedi, but since I am leaving for Spain tomorrow and don't want to embarrass Luke in front of his friends with my gnarly nails and foot calluses, I gave in.
I thought the sign outside was funny. Inflation's a bitch, isn't it? The mani/pedi special went from $22 to $25 to now $26.50. I'm not complaining though—it's still a pretty good deal.
I've stayed loyal to Jin for the past two years, but when I walked in, everyone gave me a hard time by saying "Ohhh, she must have been going somewhere else to get her nails done all this time!" I love the women that work there—they are so cute and fun. I was lucky enough to get my favorite girl, Vivaldi. Sometimes she gives me mini tutorials in Spanish—I want to be fluent one day! Anyyyway, after much thought on what color of polish to choose, I went with Essie's Jelly Apple, one of my favorites.
Vivaldi must have felt sorry for me because she gave me a hot stone foot message for FREE. I was in heaven! Whattaya think? Not bad, right? Well I guess anything is better than this. Eek!
What are your favorite nail polish colors? When do you switch over from the summer to fall shades??
