Taking a walk down memory lane. Today I am posting about a DIY mani. I say memory lane because when I first started my IG page it focused on DIY manis! Today is a winning combo that I recently discovered.  I applied two coats of Essie’s Fifth Avenue which is one of my all time favorite colors. It’s like a red-coral. So stunning! The key is to let each coat dry fully before applying the next. I topped the color off with Essie’s No Chips Ahead top coat. When I tell you that this lasts as well as a DIY mani could, I mean it. I always have my hands in water doing dishes, laundry, I even washed my hair! The photo below is day 4. There are a few very minor chips but could easily go another day or two! Both the color and top coat can be found here .  Thank you so much for your continued support. *Links are powered by ShopStyle Collective.

exact dress found here  | similar handbags here A little  while ago  I used to do weekly Instagram Outfit Recaps. I loved them but it felt kind of repetitive for every week especially since I am fan of re-wearing the same clothes often. I missed it so much and it was actually one of my more popular posts that I decided to bring it back monthly! It will include some of my favorite outfits along with the details for the month (I'll  also   include  a few of my looks from IG stories). Here is February’s recap: Preparing for spring, especially with this look! I love basic pieces such as a denim jacket and versatile dress that can be worn different ways. The show stopper are these Tevas! They are the most comfortable sandal and I can’t wait to wear them out. Outfit details here .  I really enjoyed paring these spring pastels together. I felt pretty and girly even thought I was wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt. These sweatpants were a bit of a splurge but a great investment piece th

All outfit pieces can be found here I have spring fever so bad! There are a ton of amazing new season pieces out right now and all I’m doing is browsing and daydreaming for that spring weather. One thing that is great about spring is that you can take a number of cold weather pieces with you (aka transitional pieces) or vise versa. Layer spring ready pieces to wear now.   This season I’m seeing a lot of fun, bright colors to lighten the mood as well as pastels.    I rounded up a few comfy pieces and a few that will instantly elevate your outfit. You can check everything out  here .  

All mirrors found here Home decor isn't a regular topic on The Kelley Log but one thing that I do love is a beautiful mirror. They are the easiest way to add an extra something to a room. Not to mention that they are a blogger necessity. A few months ago I finally splurged on an oversized version and it’s easily one of my favorite purchases within the last few months. It instantly elevated my room and photos! Moving to the topic of blogging for a second; one of the first things that is noticed in a mirror selfie is, well, the mirror. A stunning mirror that matches your aesthetic is a nice way to elevate your photos.  I compiled a few beautiful mirrors that fit into vintage, glam, modern and rustic decors. So a little bit of everything. I hope you enjoy! *I am an Amazon and ShopStyle affiliate. I receive commission through links or banners clicked/items purchased. Thank you for your continued support!

Faux Roses | DW Homes Candle | Voluspa Macaron Candle  (similar) | Laneige Lip Mask Today I’ll be rounding up a few Valentine’s Day gifts that are under $20. They are beautiful and I think make the soul feel good which is so important on any day.  DW Homes Candle- Peony Apple I've heard about these candles for the longest time but I'm just now getting round to trying the brand. They do not disappoint. The scent is very bold but beautifully put together. I smell peony primarily with a hint of crisp apple. I keep it on the bar in my home and even without lighting it you can smell a hit of the candle which I love. When lit it fills the entire room. This brand definitely has a luxurious feel but for an affordable price.  Voluspa Macron Candle If you have a chance to grab this one  (similar) definitely do. It’s always in and out of stock. I understand why. First the packaging. Does it really get any cuter than a macron jar (can be used after the candle is finished too!)? The si
