I love a good monogram – on my handbags, pajamas, t-shirts, bedding, towels – really anything I can get my hands on, so why not on my hands?

This week I am easing into fall even if we do have off and on heat waves with gray I added a pop of pink and black and a little geometry. Geometry was my favorite subject in High School. There is something soothing about these triangles.
The color is “Hyde Park Place” by NailsInc with “Black Taxi” also by NailsInc and Fiji by Essie. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

This was a good week for The Navy Leopard. I am feeling very grateful and inspired. This week’s mani was inspired by the New Balance for J. Crew active wear that I have been wanting to wear 24/7. It was featured on Tuesday in Pattern Mix Hits the Gym. I actually changed out of other active wear today to put it back on, it’s that comfortable!
The color is “Incognito in Sausalito” by OPI. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.
Thank you for all of your support of the blog.

It is clear that I love shoes. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you know that these striped shoes got a workout this summer and served as a perfect neutral. They were also the shoes I was wearing when my six year old snapped a photo that ended up on J. Crew‘s #SHINYPONIES page as I mentioned in Shoes Tell the Story this week. So I decided to commemorate my proud Mama moment with yet another shoe, this time on my hand.
The color is “Do You Take Lei Away” by OPI. The nail art and manicure are by Olive & June.

My six year old loves camouflage, especially shorts and pants and not just the typical green, but blues as well. He has worn various versions of the pants and shorts for about two years. He likes to do his own pattern mixing with stripes and other colors. Every week he makes suggestions for my nail art that usually revolve around cars. It is rare that he is that happy with my choice. He really liked this week’s blue camo nail art. He also asked me if I was trying to have my nails blend in with my clothes. I will say the camo is forgiving with the dreaded and inevitable chip.
The main color is my favorite “Creekside” by Vinylux combined with “Indigo Frock” and “Water Park” also by Vinylux. The nail art and manicure are by Olive & June.

This week’s manicure is inspired by the J. Crew for NET-A-PORTER capsule collection. I am loving all the blue and white stripes. I featured three beautiful pieces on Monday in All of the Stripes and the cutest blue and white t-shirt adorned with a sequined dog in Doggie Stripes at Georgie. The collection is a available in just a few J. Crew stores and on NET-A-PORTER. Check it out as quantities are limited.
The color is “Cobalt” by RGB Cosmetics. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.

On Monday I wrote about my experience at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 in Sliding Doors. New York is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world and it holds a special place in my heart. A friend gave me a I ♥ NY tee shirt during my visit back after I had moved to California. The anniversary of this horrific and tragic day makes me want to hug all those close to me and give New York a big hug.
The color is “Alpine Snow” by OPI. The manicure and nail art are by Olive & June.
