The Kelley Log

Jacket | Active Top | Leggings | Sneakers | Sunglasses   Happy Monday! Below are a few things that I’ve been eyeing! These are items on my wishlist that I think are worth sharing with you. I hope that you enjoy.  So I have a bad habit of peeling off my gel nail polish when it starts to chip. I’ve been looking for something long lasting that I can use in between manis.
