mid-spring favorites

Spring has always been about the sweet, pretty neutrals, but this year it has been about the flow for me. I find myself choosing anything with a long hem that flutters in the breeze, feeling floaty and light in whatever blouse I'm wearing.
Halston, Topshop, H&M

My other spring addiction is turquoise jewelryChelsea Lauren shares my love for this gorgeous look, and I keep wearing the same rings over and over just because any other stone doesn't quite have the same effect.


I just love the antiqued, Southwestern feel of this amazing stone. There are so many talented craftspeople on Etsy!

Finally, I wanted to share with you guys a few of my favorite beauty products that have made their way into my daily routine this spring.

1. Bath and Body Works "Secret Wonderland" body spray...I love this sweet scent, perfect for sunny days!
2. OPI "Sweetheart" nail polish...the perfect neutral pedicure.
3. Benefit "10" highlighter/bronzer...it is so easy to get a natural glow with this!
4. Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship "Split End Protector" treatment...not sure if this protects against split ends, but they are 100% visibly reduced!

What have you been reaching for in spring 2011?

  12. turquoise (and all stones really) are the love of my jewelry life, much agreement with that one.

    spring for me is all about prints and bold colors. i'm obsessed with bright reds and corals. and aztec/tribal prints.

  21. Ooh, that Halston top is one of those things that I look at and go, "well, that's totally not me, but damn is it awesome!"

    Your nail polish pick is perfect! I tend to go obnoxious with my polish colors (yellow, teal, orange, purple, dark green, etc.), but I love the way that a barely-there polish looks.

    I'm sorry I've been lame at commenting and reading your blog lately. I've really missed it! It's good to be back, and I can't wait to see you when you visit SF this summer! Maybe if I have that kind of privilege I might be able to show you around ModCloth maybe I don't knowwww???? We'll see! Eep!
