Spring Break Packing List





We are off to warmer weather tomorrow, and I'm sharing all my spring favorites/everything I packed. I thought everything was packed and ready to go earlier this week, then I remembered I still had a package coming and needed to fit that stuff in too. I am a serious over-packer and I can't seem to squeeze everything I (think I might) need no matter how hard I try!  It is truly comical to look at my bag versus Zach's whenever we go somewhere.  It looks like Zach is going for the weekend and I'm moving somewhere for a month or two. Anyone else a major over-packer? Oh well. Better to be over prepared than to forgot something! Right?!
Stay tuned to see how I style everything. We are hoping for a lot of sunshine and I can't wait to be out of the cold!
Thanks for stopping by!

Sarah

Spring Floral + Beauty Favorites












Dress similar here, here, and here, Boots, Sunglasses


Happy first full day of spring! I am SO glad spring is finally here.  Goodbye snow and huge puffy coats, and freezing temps! Hello sunshine, blue skies, and blooming flowers!  Unfortunately, in Michigan it is a sloooooowww transition and it is still quite cold here, BUT more sunshine lately has me feeling hopeful.
When I found this dress at Express, I knew it would be perfect for transitioning into spring.  The floral is perfect for spring, but the black background makes it versatile enough to wear with OTK boots or sandals later.

I also recently made a trip to The Makeup Loft in Plymouth to pickup all sorts of spring goodies to try out.  I was so excited to try new pink hues in blushes & lipsticks.  I also had to stock up on my all-time favorite foundation.  It is BY FAR, my favorite foundation I have ever used, and I don't think I will ever use anything else.  I go between the light/medium and medium, depending on the time of year, and whether or not I have had any sun. I love the coverage it provides and it is so lightweight it doesn't feel like you are wearing much makeup at all.










I was also excited to try out a few new products I have never used before including their bronzer, eyeshadow palette, and mascara.
For this springy look I chose this lipstick in shade 'Bubble Pink' and I topped it with this gloss in shade 'Ballerina'. I also wore the foundation and bronzer. concealer, and highlighter. I also wore the 'Bubble Pink' blush.  I love the way the look turned out, and I'm excited to continue to use the products and mix them up.
If you are local, near Detroit, check out their adorable shop in downtown Plymouth.  If you are aren't, you're in luck because they ship wherever you may be! If you try one new product, it has to be the foundation. I promise you won't regret it!
Thanks for stopping by!
