@AngieAway I just had to google #smh ...apparently I'm out of the twitter loop since leaving NYC. I used to be so in the know! :/

@ 

@laurenj27 I think I know that because of my close interaction with teenagers, haha. I have an unusually large amount of them as friends.

AngieAway Angie Orth 

@ 

@laurenj27 Um... also. I just looked at your Twitter and had to FOLLOW you. Any thoughts on how that could've happened?

@AngieAway did you UNFOLLOW me?!? are you trying to let me know that my tweet tweets are most boring these days?? gasp!

AngieAway Angie Orth 

@ 

@jamieleanne @laurenj27 OMG it also says I'm not following Jamie! THE WORLD IS CRASHING TO AN END. SAVE YOURSELVES!

AngieAway Angie Orth 

@ 

@laurenj27 It makes NO sense! You're still on my BEST FRIENDS list. I am utterly at a loss. I think Twitter had a stroke?!

laurenj27 lauren johnson 

@ 

@AngieAway @jamieleanne BAHHHH! best friends, yeah right, don't even follow us on twitter..gonna guess this has something to do w/ new name?

AngieAway Angie Orth 

@ 

@jamieleanne @laurenj27 Nope. @BigAppleAngie no longer exists! Same account, just different name. Except my best friends got axed.

jamieleanne jamie martin

@laurenj27 @AngieAway i bet @BigAppleAngie is still following me. #smh (is that the proper usage? i don't know teenage internet slang.)

Unfair Influences

Here are the facts --

Lauren
I like freshly polished finger nails. I paint my nails at least once a week. (at least I'm not getting weekly manicures!) I am particularly fond of Essie nail polish and you'll never catch me with a color I can't name on my nails.

Leslee
She likes statement earrings. Lately, she's loving Austin designer Kendra Scott jewelry and typically checks the online sales every week...just in case there is something she needs.

a) We both have weekly "routines" related to the above.
b) Les bought me a great pair of purple Kendra Scott earrings for my birthday last summer. (loved them!)
c) I bought her Essie Chinchilly nail polish a few Thanksgiving's ago.
d) Les judged me for painting my nails "like every day!"
e) I judged her for "ohhhh, look at these!" every day.
f) We now live in very close quarters. And things (like the above) that we once used to gchat / text about, can now be seen / discussed in person. Natural influences, right?

So what started as perfectly innocent individual preferences, has now progressed into mutual influences.

HOWEVER. Two key facts to note...

g) Essie nail polish is $8 per bottle.
h) Kendra Scott gems are upwards of $45 PER PAIR. (when on SALE via Gilt / kendrascott.com)

Ummm...just me or does this sisterly "influence" affect me sliiiightly more negatively than my nail polish issues rubbing off on her??

After 4 months, this is our combined stash...we have problems.

And this is my most recent polish love - Cocktail Bling. From the Essie winter collection. Good, right?

Here are Leslee's latest colors (all purchased since I took the above pics...) - I support this new pretty nails habit. :)
