Right on the Dot
Although dots of all varieties are certainly counted among the spring trends this year, for me this timeless print will always fall into the category of classic. Whether you toughen them up with a biker jacket, or mix your spots a la Blaire Eadie - polka dots will always add a dash of fun to your ensemble.

What's In My Makeup Bag?
Being that I am a voyeuristic human by nature, I have always loved the blog/youtube posts of the what's in my bag variety. So, inspired by one of my favorite blogs, Tartan & Sequins, I decided to share some of the everyday favorites that are standbys in MY makeup bag. [Confession: I have been a Sephora junkie since high school and though I rarely appear 'made up' I have a full blown cosmetics obsession; totally blame the mother for this]. The absurd amount of Benefit products can be blamed on the power of before and after provided by the gals that wax my brows into submission at my local Benefit boutique. 1. Dior Hydra Life tinted moisturizer - love this stuff, actually moisturizes with decent coverage and SPF to boot. 2. Makeup Forever lift concealer 3. Amazing Cosmetics concealer - I have genetic dark circles that are totally hiddy, when I need to bring in the big guns, I reach for this. 4. Benefit Erase Paste 5. Benefit Ooh La Lift 6. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation 7. Benefit High Beam - a classic, this has been my go to highlight forev. 8. Makeup Forever HD powder - Colorless, this looks frightening but is perfect for setting makeup on all skin tones without looking powdery. 9. Benefit That Gal primer 10. Nars Bronzer Blush Duo in Laguna/Orgasm 11. Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Rose - the perfect lip color, with a sweet vanilla scent. 12. Chloe Eau de Parfum 13. Benefit They're Real - my no. 1 obsession is mascara, I have tried every department and drug store variety you can think of...this is my holy grail atm. 14. Stila liquid liner 15. Benefit Speed Brow 16. Urban Decay Naked palette/Primer Potion 17. Benefit Cha Cha tint

Cha Cha Cha
If you are familiar with the fabulousness that is all things Pantone, you likely know that their 2012 Color of the Year has been designated as the delightfully poppy Tangerine Tango. This shade is so much fun, and more versatile than I initially thought! Whether whispering preppy chic when paired with navy and white or shouting summer next to gold details and a touch of turquoise, I can't wait to find ways to incorporate this color into my wardrobe and home . It is already popping up in interiors (see the cover of Luxe), all over my spring catalogs and on the lips of lovely ladies everywhere. Are you loving all things tangerine too?
