Is anyone else ready for spring??  

As much as I love snow and winter and warm nights bundled up in front of the fireplace, I’m more than ready for some fresh air and sunshine and, more importantly, some fresh new looks in the wardrobe and makeup department.  Starting with the tips of my fingers, I’ve brightened up my nail game with the new OPI New Orleans collection. Currently I’m rocking “She’s a Bad Muffeletta,” and last time I got “Got Myself in a Jam-balaya.”  Both are perfect pinks on different ends of the spectrum.

I’ve also lightened up my makeup, going lighter under my eyes and brighter on my lips.   

 
“Amplified” by MAC is the perfect almost matte lip.  It stays all day without being too dry.

  
I’m a coral girl through and through.  I LOVE this shade, from the more orange version (above) to the more pink end of the spectrum, it’s such a complimentary color on everyone.  And looks even better with a tan, which I desperately need.  (Lips above are a blend of MAC’s ” Morange” and “Saigon Summer.”). 

I found these amazing Ann Taylor pants at a consignment store brand new, with the tags still attached for $10.  Yet again, with a tan, they would look infinitely better.  (Have I mentioned this is the palest I’ve ever been?)

   

MAC “Viva Glam Nicki” matches this blouse perrrrrfectly.  Highliter on the cheeks for some glow and you’ve got a look that’s totally fresh.

Finally, we celebrated Easter this past weekend at the river. Or as I like to call it, “Annual Big Hat Day.”  You’ll never catch me without MY Easter bonnet on Sunday!  

  

  
This dress looks silver or white but it was in fact pale pink and black.  (Judging by this pic, the love of coral is hereditary).

  
I felt like Julia Roberts in “pretty woman” in this get-up.  It seems wrong to feel like a whore on Easter.  

I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather and lightening up your own lives.  Summer is right around the corner!  What are your favorite looks for spring?
