MANICURE MUSE: Peter Pilotto Resort ‘13

As many of you well know, I love a good music festival. Between the music, the fashion, and the food, it’s like my very own Candyland. This past weekend was Lollapalooza, and being a Chicago-native, I’d never miss out on an excuse to go home and frolic around Grant Park grooving to headliners like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kaskade. While the average concert-goer might agonize over the perfect “effortless” festival outfit, the perfect Ladyfinger manicure always tops my list. Luckily, Peter Pilotto came to my rescue with a very loud and bright Resort ‘13 collection. The collection features a multitude of trippy kaleidoscope prints that will be sure to dazzle you. Needless to say, the weekend (and the Pilotto Ladyfingers) was a huge success. Aside from a weather-related evacuation hiccup, I saw some of my favorite musicians (The Black Keys were unreal!), ran into old and new friends—including Jena of ChiCityFashion, and even accidentally got to catch day three and close out the amazing weekend under the stars with the rest of Chicago.

They must not have seen me and my electric blues. Le sigh.

Sound waves:

I’m going to Lollapalooza— who’s coming with me!? Rockin’ festival outfits deserve to be topped of with some rockin’ festival nails. To get in the zone, I decided to sport Zoya’s Phoebe… electric (and always a showstopper) with sound wave nail art.
