Hunter Boots and a Blanket Scarf

We're getting a lot of spring showers but on and off warmer temps. So it's still blanket scarf weather. Need to know how to tie a blanket scarf? Check out this post. It was a torrential down pour last Friday so I needed a water resistant bag so I grabbed my Tory Burch Ella nylon bag which is absolutely perfect for running errands in the rain. Here are the details.

This sweater is so soft and it's pretty lightweight. Perfect for those in between temps. Mine is a medium. 

Charlotte Russe Skinny Boyfriend Jeans $25

For a store that is marketed to women quite a few years younger I love that their jeans are accurate sizes. At Forever 21 I have to buy jeans like two sizes up, doesn't make you feel very good. So props to CR. These jeans are soft and stretchy.

This seller has loads of colors. Pick one that matches your boots.

Tobi makes some great stuff and this rose gold bracelet is no exception. The color is abfab.

Off the Shoulder Sweater and Booties

Off the shoulder is very popular right now. I'm not a super fan of strapless bras so I only took one shoulder down just a bit but it's still a cool look. Mine was from New York and Company this fall but H&M makes a similar color one that is perfect for the cool spring weather. Neutral colors are really popular right now too. Here are the details.

H&M Off-the-Shoulder Sweater $25
This sweater comes in three colors but I'd go with the beige for spring. The top folds over so you can go all the way or wear it like I did.

These are the perfect super skinny jeans. Skin tight but still stretchy and comfortable. The dark wash adds a level of sophistication to your look.

Taupe booties are hot this spring two. This is a great pair for the price.

Forever 21 Faux Leather Tote $30

This bag is the perfect color for spring. It reminds me of the cream in cadbury eggs. It's a really good faux leather too.

Tory Burch Cuff $150

A single piece of jewelry can complete your look if it's the right piece and a Tory Burch cuff is always stylish and sophisticated. 

Spring Makeup Trends

I'm really excited about the Spring makeup trends this year. It's all about the glow and nothing too complicated or overdone. Here's the look and what I used to get it.

Natural Glow
You can get that soft glow look on your skin a couple of different ways. I used Glam Glow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow ($49) but a great alternative is to use an oil over your moisturizer like L'Oreal Age Perfect Glow Renewal ($30). Both with give your skin a natural shine.

  

Gold Eyes
This is such a great trend because it's so easy to achieve. I used a Sephora Collection Colorful Shadow & Liner in Gold ($14), but the Kaki color has a more muted gold look if that's the direction you want to go. NYX ($5) also makes a shadow stick in gold it's sold out online but they may have them in the stores. Just swipe it on your lids and on the outside crease. No need for eyeliner with this look. Just let the gold shine through.

 

Highlighter

Dusted on your cheekbones highlighter gives you an instant lift and shine. I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit ($45) in Golden Dawn. A really inexpensive alternative is L'Oreal True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminator ($13) in Golden, it's not going to give you the the same level of shine but it will lift your look.

  

Nude Lip Color

Nudes are all the rage this spring. Look for a color that is just a hair darker then your natural lip color. I'm wearing Bite Beauty Multistick in Cashew ($24) but a great alternative is NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream ($6).

 

Puffer Vest and Suede Elbow Patchs

Puffer vests aren't just great in the fall, they're perfect for cool spring temps. I also love Tom's in the spring too. They're super comfortable shoes that work great with a casual looks. I wore this look to bingo night at my daughter's school and we won on the second card! It was a fun casual night and here's what I wore.

Macy's Puffer Vest $25*

A black puffer vest is a staple for fall but if you don't already own one Macy's has one on sale. The hood is removable. Get an extra 15% off with the code MORE. 

SheIn Long Sleeve Elbow Patch Tee $7

SheIn is a great site with loads of great cheap duds. Shipping takes awhile, but I've loved everything I've gotten. This shirt is extra soft.

Charlotte Russe Skinny Boyfriend Jeans $25

My favorite pair of cheap jeans, they're stretchy and soft and cute to boot.

Tom's Classic Slip-On $48

These are a classic casual slip-on shoe. Super comfortable and made by a great company that donates shoes to kids in need.

Target makes a pretty good Tom's dupe. Still comfortable and a little more affordable.

Hunter Boots and a Leopard Print Scarf

Lots of spring showers this week so it's another Hunter Boot look today, but it's warmed up quite a bit so I took out the fleece liners in my boots. I'm ready for those spring showers. You've seen this black sweater a few times now it's so comfy and pretty light weight, great for spring. Black and pink is always a fun combination. Here are all the details.
