Season Change Antsy

This weather is quite depressing. As soon as I thought the sunshine was here to stay, the weatherman reports snow is a comin'. Yep, more snow. It's not uncommon for it to snow in March in Kansas, but people were seeding and fertilizing their yards just last weekend!

Man is it frigid. I had to dig deep inside my closet to pull out my already put away heavy winter coat.

Will spring and sunshine please come back?

I'm much prettier in the Spring/Summer season. Let's face it, that's what a sun kissed tan and cute dresses do for you:).

I'm ready for the season to change. And I mean full-circle. Not just a few warm days here and there, I want the real thing, baby.

I've been ready for a few weeks. And so have my new dresses and open-toed heels that are anxiously awaiting to leave their hangers and storage boxes.

Love this little number. I have tried to wear it out a couple times already until Brian reminded me how ridiculous I would look wearing a dress this early. C'mon 80 degrees, I need you!

Don't the colors just scream summer? Found at one of my fave stores.

This one is from Express. I'm typically not into floral prints or ruffles, but I really love this one. The floral is quite subtle and abstract. My kinda print.

I plan to pair it with this nude belt and nude heels.

In other new finds, a pair of knock-off aviators and some new products I'm obsessed with.

I've been telling myself to drop the cash on a nice pair of Ray Bans or sunglasses, but I just can't do it. With as much as I break them, my cheap-o's will do. I picked these up last weekend for $10 at a little knock-off shop at Crown Center. I'm pleased with my purchase:)

Introducing my new friend, Lola. I'm in love.

I took a chance on Lola, opting for her over my other go-to scent, Armani Diamonds. She was a good choice. Thanks to the recommendation from my brother's super stylish gf.

Another new find: Kenra blow dry spray. My hair stylist turned me on to this protectant spray. I'm hooked.

Once you smell this stuff, you'll be hooked too.

My BF told me about this line of nail polish, Essie, now sold at Target. This color is Mink Muffs, a smoky plush taupe.

LOVE the color, but didn't find it to go on as smooth as usual. Maybe it was user error:), I wasn't feeling too well yesterday. I think I'm still partial to OPI, but I'll definitely be trying other Essie colors.

Have you found any new Spring attire you're dying to wear? Or any new products worth sharing? Tell us about it.

LOVE those dresses... I just took a shopping spree to Francesca's last week... I could buy everything in there!
I'm not even commenting on the weather. Seriously.

Um.. you could totally rock both of those dresses right now. Hello, tights and cute boots! I love Marc Jacobs perfume. I am a big fan of his daisy brand. Definitely going to try the Kenra blow dry stuff. I need help in the dry hair department.
Also, random question...do you reformat your picture size before uploading them to blogger? I am trying to figure out how to make some of my pictures bigger.

I have the blow dry spray too - love, love, love! And your new dresses are awesome. I need to find a few cute ones - guess I need to run to Francesca's :) The trick I've found with Essie is multiple coats, which sucks, but they have cute colors. OPI is still my #1 go-to polish. Come on Spring - we're tired of waiting!

Cute dresses! I agree with Lauren... boots & tights! And a cardi.

I'm so excited for sandal weather... I love boots, but I'm so ready for some wedges!

Love the dresses...sooo cute! I have a few Essie's polishes & OPI is still my fave too. However, just got a shellac (sp?) mani & I'm obsessed :)

Splurge on your sunglasses! I finally did and because they were expensive, I'm much more aware of them and always place them safely back into their hard case when they aren't on my face.

Love that Express dress. I just bought a dress similar to that one today! Now I am in search for cute nude wedges! :)
