How to Wear a Little Black Dress In the Spring
This Spring might be all about the LWD (Little White Dress), but lets be real the LBD is a classic that won't ever be toss aside. Plus, throwing anything black aside for a season is like a crime in New York. To make a LBD work in the Spring, work one into your wardrobe that has a light texture to it like eyelets (like this one), mesh (this one), or even a light crochet dress (and this one). These textures help give a light airy feeling. Continue this feeling through out the whole by adding pops of colors through your accessories, whether it's a colorful bag, jewelry, or shoes. Make sure not to do over do it with the colors, choose your one item to really be your statement maker.

I've had this crochet Zara dress for a couple of seasons now. I love breaking it during the Spring, as it light, feminine, and fun to pair with brighter colors. I kept my lipstick for my day look pretty neutral as I did a bold necklace, I didn't want the two to fight for the spot light. The LBD in the Spring works for the office and those Spring/Summer wedding
How do you wear the LBD during the Spring?

Sometimes you need to slip into a little crop top and go out with your best friend for a bottle of wine...or two. Every girl needs her girls night to catch up with her gal pals, chat about boys, life, and everything else in between...over one to many drinks.
Nothing tops off an outfit like freshly painted nails! I teamed up with Londontown to show you how you can complete your Spring looks with their new Spring Collection. Londontown created a 12 piece collection full of perfectly toned pastels, brights, and glitter polishes. These colors can easily match your look or add a pop of color to you spring outfit. See how Londontown help inspire some of my favorite Spring looks.

Play match maker to your nails. Have fun this Spring with it's must have pastel colors by matching your nails to your outfit. I paired my favorite J.Crew sweater with Londontown's Chuffed to Bits. To keep the look from being to matchy-matchy, add a pop of color to your toes. Reverse the Charges was the perfect complimentary pop of color to my mani and sweater.

This Spring it's all about the Little White Dress (LWD). To avoid your look from being washed out add pops of color. When doing a white dress I like to go light on the face and go bold on the lip and nails. For me when I do a mani-pedi I like to do colors that are complimentary. I like to go bright (or dark) on the pedi and go light on the nails. Londontown's Piccadilly Square is the perfect color to brighten up any look. While Love Bite #9 is a great soft pastel pink to be paired with this vibrant coral color.

Just like winter has it's luxe textures, spring has it's. When I think about spring textures, lace and embroidery always comes to mind. I love playing with textures, whether it's pairing a denim jacket with a lace skirt or sparkly pair of heels with an embroidered skirt. Compliment your spring textures with textured nails. For this I went light and delicate. I used Londtown's Lovely Jubbly and for texture I used Glassglow Glamour, which also adds a bit of sparkle.

Outfit Post: Oh the Flounce-y Flounce-y

Not going to lie...every time I wear this skirt I sing the line "Oh the flossy flossy" from Fergie's song "Glamourous" ...but replace it with "Oh the Flounce-y Flounce-y"...And now you all know how cheesy I really am. Anyway...I'm so in love with this Forever21 button down. I know, it's pretty basic but it has easily become one of my go-to shirts. It's so transitional and fun to play with. I just wish I had bought this top in different colors while I was there. I guess this just gives me an excuse to go back.
Do you guys have a favorite item but in multiple colors?

Foodie Friday: Dosha Pops
I have a major sweet tooth. Some people go for chocolate but for me I'm all about the sweet and sour. Typically after tearing into a bag of Sour Patch Kids the guilt starts to set in...and so do the cavities. Finally I found something that satisfies my sweet tooth that I don't have to feel guilty about.
Dosha Pops aren't your ordinary lollipops, they promote a healthy balanced lifestyle by using the finest ingredients and having it all centered around herbal tea. They have unique names, like Velvet Rope, that match their distinct ingredients. The Velvet Rope in particular is made of non-GMO pure cane sugar, organic chicory roots tea, chicory extract and cream of tartar. They have six flavors for you to try but don't worry if you can't decide on a flavor, let the Dosha Test help you out. The Dosha Test is just a few simple questions about yourself to figure out your Doshic energy. This test for me was spot on, I got Vata: "If you are a Vata, you are always on on-the-go and full of energy" YES "Open to new experience, you live a life that is fast-paced and exciting" YES "Your secret lies in creative schedule and being a pure bred powerhouse doesn't hurt either." DUH "When Vatas are out of balance they become anxious, worrisome overwhelmed and stressed." Okay this is getting scary! What is even more scary is that they suggest foods that are sweet, salty, or sour for Vatas.

These delicious little pops are perfect for that afternoon little pick me...or if your like me evening sugar fix. Or even better to balance you out after a workout. The best thing is that I can totally enjoy these guilt free! I can suck on one of these while writing my post instead of blindly going through a bag of Sour Patch Kids. My favorite is the Mytea Pomegranate. This has the sweet flavor that I crave, yet it had a kick to it...probably from the roobios tea.
Would you replace your sweet tooth craving for one of these Dosha Pops?
