April Must Haves!

My must haves for April involve waterproofing for those rainy days and some springy colors to cheer up gray skies!



I am so happy that Juicy Couture made this Daisy Wish Necklace for $48. I'm loving daisies right now and it's so perfect for spring!

If a rainy day scares your hair into a frizz, this Coach Legacy Stripe Tara Hat for $148 is perfect. It's made out of weather resistant cotton and will hide all of your hair woes!

Rainy days can smell good but not always. With Demeter's Rain for $20, you can smell like the best rain possible. Who knows, maybe someone will pick up the scent and want to smell a little more of you!

No need to worry about your makeup running on a rainy day, Bare Escentuals has you covered. The Weather Anything Kit for $32 has everything you need to keep that eye makeup where it belongs!

I love the green in this Marc by Marc Jacobs Turnlock French Wallet seems to instantly brighten up anything around it. Just picture pulling it out of your bag while paying for your daily latte!

Leave it to Burberry to give you the chicest rain boot you've ever seen! The Wrap Rain Boots for $295 will make sure you stand out in a printed wellie crowd.

Fab watch maker Michele has a limited edition 'Garden Party' Watch for $1,325 that screams spring. With a bright pink strap and a diamond snail, you'll be carrying a little bit of a sunny day wherever you go!

Beauty Tips to Beat the Winter Blahs

I don't know about you, but every year about this time, I get very bored with winter. The spring clothes are coming into stores and the next fall season is about to take over the runways. Thank heavens for beauty. I mean, what else can give you such a pick-me-up in the time of dull winter blahs?

First off, get your hair trimmed (or chopped!) and either a fresh dye job or a clear gloss. Nothing makes me feel as fresh and renewed like a new cut or a shiny coat of brown. My inspiration for my hair color? Rachel Bilson's hair on the cover of Lucky magazine. It's rich and gives me a serious chocolate craving!

Next, give yourself an at home exfoliation for your body and face to slough off that dead winter skin. I love St. Ives Apricot Scrub in Gentle for my dry skin. If you have oily or combination skin, there is an Apricot Scrub for you too. When it comes to a body scrub, I like to make my own out of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and good old granulated sugar. Make sure that your mixture is thick otherwise, the sugar will dissolve.

For a a punch to your winter makeup, try the snowbunny look. Think pastel eyeshadows and thick black lashes. Revlon's spring collection has the Soft on the Eyes palette for $10. For a more more luxe version, try the Bare Escentuals Blendable Eye Collection - Watercolors for $36.

Final winter blah remover? It's inspired by one of my favorite color combinations and it's for your nails! Try painting you fingers a deep purple like OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark and paint a thin red stripe on your left or right ring finger. For the red, I recommend OPI's O'Hare & Nails Look Great! Now you look like you belong in a Miu Miu ad!
