Hi, beauties! Hope all is well & that you are kicking off spring in the best mindset possible! Since it is finally springtime and everyone is in the spirit of warm weather & all things spring I wanted to share with you some of the things that I have been loving this spring so far! 💛🌷 From fashion finds, to makeup/skincare, to books & activities, I wanted to let you guys in on all of these things I have been obsessing over. If you have any cute finds that you have been loving make sure to leave them in the comments so we can all check them out too!
Lets get into all my faves! 💛
Fashion & Clothing:
- Cut off light wash jeans. I have recently found a couple of pairs that I love (rare for me bc jeans never seem to fit me right!) One pair is from Old Navy and the other is from Marshall's by Calvin Klein. These seem to be really in this season so i'm sure you could find ones you love in your favorite store with no problem! Here are a few that I found & think are super cute: Old Navy (this is the pair I have!), Nordstrom, Express
- Off the shoulder top from American Eagle - super simple top but that is what I love about it! It fits super nice and is comfortable, too! I put a picture down below of it so you guys can see just how cute it is!
- Green knot dress I just ordered it from Aerie and can not wait to get it in the mail! It is on sale right now for 30% off and it come in four different colors! So excited to style this. (pictured down below so you guys can see it!)
- Black Target shorts - nothing like a good ole pair of flowy shorts amirite?! These are so practical & easy to style. Plus these are so affordable! Definitely pick these up if you have been on the hunt for some comfy everyday shorts, you will so happy you did!
- Denim Jackets are such a staple for me! I have one from Kohl's that is Sonoma brand (see pic below) and I reach for it alllll the time. It is so comfy & practical! I also have one that I ordered from LuLu's over the winter. It is Levi's and so cute, I couldn't find it on their site as it was a sale item when I purchased it but they have other ones on their site from all different brands that are just as adorable! Click here to check out what they have!
- Striped Tank from Marshall's with bows. This tank is SO cute (pictured down below as an outfit idea)! I am so glad that I stumbled upon it while browsing through Marshall's. Super comfortable & lightweight so perfect for the spring into summer time! I shared it with you guys over on my Instagram and you all seemed to love it just as much as I do!
On The Lookout For: fun crop flared pants or jeans w/ pattern - I found a pair of Lauren Conrad jeans with little daisy flowers on them 🌼 .. might need to go back & pick them up. Been on the hunt for a springy kimono as well! Leave any cute ones you have seen below for me!
Shoes:
- White Mountain Wedges a TJMaxx find for only $25!! These are probably the most comfortable pair of wedges/heels that I own, i'm literally obsessed! Found them online for your guys but unfortunately they are more expensive so make sure to go check your TJ or Marshall's!
- Bow Slides - I found the pair in the picture from TJMaxx by the brand Nautica. They were only $16.99 (such a good price, right?!) and fit perfectly! Super comfortable & practical which I love
- Slip on sneakers - My fave pair that I have found have been from TJMaxx (you can probably tell by now I love TJMaxx, hahaha!) they are from Guess & are so cute! I have been obsessed with slip on sneakers/shoes and these were the perfect addition to my little collection. Here are some cute ones I found that are similar to mine: Guess & Target (super affordable!)
On The Lookout For: More slide on shoes, I really want to find the perfect pair of spring/summer mules & also a pair of staple sandals! 👡
Jewelry/Accessories:
- Bow Hair Scrunchies - I have found a couple from American Eagle in the past couple of months that I love wearing! Perfect way to spice up an outfit, they have a bunch of different ones - click here to take a look!
- Headband from Aerie. Super versatile, I love to wear it on the weekends because it can be easily dressed up or down! I have it in both the green color & black!
- Dainty Earrings, cute little studs, or even dangly ones that are really simple and chic.
- Lauren Conrad Crossbody from Kohl’s. This is the springy-est bag ever & it is perfect! I had seen it plenty of times before I actually caved and bought it but I am soooo happy that I did. It is the perfect size for me, big enough to fit all of my stuff but still not bulky or heavy. It adds the cutest spring touch to any outfit.
- “M” Necklace from 6thBoroughBoutique
- Alex & Ani ladybug ring wrap one of my fave pieces of jewelry! It is so simple & dainty which I love & it goes with my love of ladybugs 🐞
On The Lookout For: A cute circle straw bag (might have to go get this one from Lauren Conrad.. I've had my eye on it!)
Makeup & Skincare:
- First Aid Beauty Facial Cleanser. Forever my favorite holy grail face wash! I have very sensitive skin and this is the only thing that gives me the clean feeling that I want while still being gentle on my skin. 100 % recommend trying this out & other First Aid Beauty products if you haven't yet!
- IT Cosmetics CC Cream another fave of mine & I just repurchased another tube of it! This is the perfect lightweight CC Cream where you don't even feel like you're wearing any makeup which is perfect for warmer weather!
- Hula Bronzer gives the perfect sunkissed glow & is great quality as well. I got it over the holidays in a kit from Benefit Cosmetics & it has become one of my favorite bronzers to reach for!
- Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer - my life saver as a naturally very pale girl, hahah! This is not something I use everyday but usually every few days. It is so simple to use and gives the perfect amount of bronzy glow to the skin! It is very affordable & a product I have been using for at least a few years now.
Books:
- Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. I am currently in the middle of reading this but it is a book that I can honestly say is life changing. Go buy yourself a copy because you need to give this one a read if you haven't by now - you won't be disappointed!
- The Girls Guide by Melissa Kirsch. I have had this book for a few years now but constantly gravitate back to it. It is filled with such great information about .. well everything that pertains to being a girl & growing up in this forever changing society. There are so many lessons, teaching tools and it really gives you such good advice and knowledge on so many topics.
Wanting To Read: Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis
Things I Have Been Loving To Do:
- Getting back outside & walking the pup - I have missed fresh air & sunshine! This winter seemed like it was forever long but spring is finally here and I think ready to stay for a while!
- Working out! 💪 Switching it up each day to keep myself motivated & not bored with it. This has been the longest I have stuck with working out in a very long time. Throughout high school it was second nature to me as I was in sports all year round but once I graduated high school & college and began working I found that I was feeling not my best. I would always go in and out of working out but never really devoted myself to it. I have a whole Pinterest Fitness & Workouts page and a Healthy Life page if you would like to follow along for inspiration and some workouts/healthy life choices that I have been trying out!
- Journaling 📖 I have been trying to do this every night but to be honest I have not been the best at it so I shoot for just a few times a week. I have always been someone who keeps a journal but always went in spurts of it. Recently I have discovered prompted journaling books and they make me think outside of the box on what to write about as well as make me really think about the topic in fully. I have linked my 2 faves here: 642 Things To Write About & A Life of Gratitude. There are so many other journaling books that are out there as well so do some searching around & I am sure you will find one!
Hopefully you all enjoyed and were able to find some new things that you want to try out this spring! Let me know if you would like to see a fashion post on new items I have recently purchased or even a spring look-book?! I think that would be super fun to do! I have so many ideas of things I want to share with you but sometimes it is a little difficult for me to get them up quickly for you. But anyways, stay tuned for more spring inspired posts coming at you in the near future; I have been trying to work on getting a little bit more ahead with my blog posts so that I can put up content more frequently for you all!
Thank you for all so much for supporting me! 💕
Until next time,
Michelle Elizabeth💛
