2.  Nail Art

The Little Canvas is a fantastic blog for nail art ideas/tutorials...
If only I wasn't artistically challenged...
Eh that's what spas and salons are for right? ;)

What beauty trends are you loving this spring?

Joe Fresh at JCP Makes Me Happy

Let's take a moment to discuss how excited I was to stumble upon Joe Fresh at JCPenney the other day...

I was literally take my breath away excited.

Just this past summer, my best friend and I spent the better part of a day scouring Manhattan for a certain v-neck Joe Fresh t-shirt (that could only be bought at Joe Fresh stores) only to find them sold out at all Manhattan locations.  Major.  Bummer. (And Major Blisters!)

You can imagine my pure elation when, eight months later, I find this elusive t-shirt at my local JCPenney store of all places.  

It took everything in me not to buy it in every color.  I kept myself under control and grabbed white and navy (I already own gray and coral) and snuck in a pair of mint zip ankle pants for good measure.  

It was a good day.  A really good day.

Last Saturday (unlike today) it was actually warm enough to wear them.  

Here is what I wore:

Joe Fresh Ankle Skinnies, Nine West ballet flats

Vintage head scarf and my badonkadonk

Madewell sunglasses, JCP Chambray button down,
and the best t-shirt ever:  Joe Fresh V-neck

And what spring time look would be complete without a neon arm party?

Here's mine:

Arm party brought to you by:  Fahsye, InPink, and the GAP

What new fashion collaboration are you most excited about this spring?  And are you as obsessed with mint as I am?  It's kind of becoming an obsession...

Love ya like I love Joe Fresh,

Top 10 Spring Trends

So I've been salivating over nordtrom.com - I know, I know... there is no Nordstrom in Rochester.  (Don't remind me).

Ah but have no fear upstate ladies,  springs hottest trends, can all be found right here in Rochester.  You needn't look farther than Eastview Mall or your favorite boutiques.  And if you MUST shop Nordstrom, at least do it through ebates and get 5% cash back.  Plus right now they are offering a $5 bonus just for signing up!

Without further ado, here are the Top Ten Spring Trends featured on www.nordstrom.com (with a little narrative from yours truly)

1.  Pale Neutrals 

Muted colors are all the rage.

2.  The Fit-And-Flare Dress 

Classic, easy, and figure flattering.

3.  The Kitten Heel

A little height without the leg cramps.

4.  The Romantic Blouse

Femine, pretty, and versatile:  can be worn with anything.

5.  The Satchel 

Carries everything you need but looks polished with its clean lines.

6.  Flared and Wide Leg Pants

Don't worry you can still wear your skinny jeans, but consider investing in a pair of these 70's throwbacks to add some versatility to your wardrobe.

7.  Maxi Dresses and Skirts

Simple, easy, breezy style.

8.  Statement  Rings

Nothing like a honking big ring on your finger...that's what I always say.  Note:  tacky is not the statement you want to make.

9.  The Minimal Jacket

Adds structure and class to any look - but be careful,  fit is EVERYTHING.  If it doesn't fit, you run the risk of looking frumpy.

10.  Modern Oxfords

Fun and retro but dangerous, these can look super geeky if paired with the wrong look.  There is a reason you've never heard of "nursing home chic."

So now that you know whats "in" which trend(s) are you most excited to rock this spring?  

I for one, would love 

Antropologie Mompos Dress
$228.00
A perfect fit-and-flare dress

and

Paola Ferri Oxfords
$69.95
