Prelude to Summer

Is it me or is she the most beautiful woman on the planet? These pictures are definitely making me think weekend sweat sessions in place of margarita's...the summer is coming and bikini shopping is right around the corner! I think I will use her as motivation...

Skinny Cargos

Anyone who's ever worn cargo pants knows how comfy they are. Despite their comfort, however, they have never been the first thing to come to mind when you think high fashion. Now with this new skinny cut, things have certainly changed.

Here are a few pairs I found. (I am kind of DYING over these J.Brand's!!)

Keeping it Classic

Today I had a lunch meeting crammed dead smack in the middle an already hectic day. In desperate need for a haircut, I was having the worst hair day ever so I threw on red lipstick and my Louboutin's which never fail to make me feel great. :)
Do you have a go to item in your closet that no matter how crappy you feel it never fails to make you feel good?

Must Haves for Spring - Beauty

Well the warm weather is here for most of us and that means we need to slather on scrubs, soften up dry winter skin and assess our beauty routines! There are a few things we need to do to get ready to pull out that warm weather wardrobe and having a simplified beauty routine is key! Here are a few things I think are helpful:

1.) Tinted Moisturizer

Josie Marn Tinted Moisturizer - sephora.com

The last thing you want in the warm weather is heavy foundation. This stuff is 100% organic!

2.)Blush in a stick

Tarte Cheek Stain - sephora.com

This stuff can cut your beauty routine in half. It works on cheeks lips and eyes and gives you a natural warm weather glow :)

3.) Bright Nail Colors

Modern Flowers Collection Sephora by OPI - sephora.com

These colors are fun and whimsical. Perfect for spring!

4.) Foot scrub

Sephora Collection Super Foot Scrub -sephora.com

You need soft and pretty feet for your fabulous new spring sandals! This one has a massage head applicator!

5.) Spray tan

GlowFusion Micro Nutrient Face and Body Natural Protein Tan - Sephora.com

Because you're legs have been hidden under layers of clothes all winter you don't want to blind people when you throw on your spring skirts! ;)

6.) fushia lipstick

Sephora Collection Rouge Cream Lipstick - sephora.com

When you choose a bright lipstick you don't want anything that will dry out your lips and look flakey :)

7.) Bronzer

Benefit Legally Bronze Kit - Sephora.com

This kit has everything you need including highlighter!

8.) Sunscreen

Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion SPF 38 - Sephora.com

Whether or not you hit the beach you need to protect that skin!

9.) Double Duty Lip gloss:

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips - Sephora.com

This stuff is a plumper but doesn't make your lips burn. It's fantastic!

10.) Waterproof Mascara

Diorshow Black Out Waterproof Mascara - sephora.com

Just incase the weather gets balmy you won't have this stuff dripping all over your face!

I also want to thank all my lovely readers for your tips for my dress. The event is in a few weeks so stay tuned for the results. I will definitely post some pics ;)

Also I want to say thank you to Brow Raised Beauty for the really sweet post she did with a comment about yours truly. It really made my day!

Prom Circa 2010

Ok my little fashion blogger friends, I have an assignment for you. I have been invited to a formal gala/ball event. Yesterday I found my dress at BCBG and now it is time to accessorize. I am having a difficult time deciding on whether or not to go with black shoes/clutch or gold. I tried it on with both and both look great. I need a second opinion! I am doing shoe/clutch shopping this weekend so if you have something in mind, please share!
Here is the dress:

I am also taking a poll: Hair up, down, half up, pulled back into a sleek pony? Thoughts?? I feel like I am going to prom!! :)

Must haves for spring - wardrobe

It's time for spring shopping! Before buying anything though make sure you look at what you have. I always store my spring/summer clothes so when I pull them out each year I find things I forgot I had! Once you assess what you have vs. what you need it's time to shop til you drop! :)

Here are 10 things I think are must haves for this spring's wardrobe.

1.) Stripes
