Spring Cleaning

So the weather this past weekend? Just spectacular. The blue, sunny skies, and warm-ish temps, had me in the best mood and in the mood to get some spring cleaning done. Spring cleaning for me usual centers around my closet, discarding what I haven't worn/what I don't like and what doesn't fit. While I absolutely hate this type of cleaning, it becomes a win-win situation as clothing that no longer fits needs to be replaced with clothing that does. I love when the odds are in my favor!

Once I got started on my closet, there was no stopping. My dressers, storage closet, and even my little corner in my dad's office all got refreshed and reorganized. The last stop on my spring cleaning tour was probably the most important: my makeup drawer and everyday makeup bag. While I take very good care of my makeup, (sterilizing after each use, etc.) I have a tendency to keep makeup, that I don't like, and worse, has expired. I know, it's terrible and not to mention, gross. 

 I think the lip lacquer and gloss are at least 6 years old...

Like my closet, cleaning out my makeup means room for new products! One of my favorite things about discarding empties the Back to MAC program. If you're not familiar with it, MAC has a program where you bring in six empty MAC products and in exchange, you get a free lipstick (at the counter) or a free lipstick, eyeshadow, lip gloss (at a freestanding MAC store). These empties bring me to a total of 12 empties. Two free products!

Looks I Love for Spring

Can you tell I love my jeans and blazers? These images contain looks I am absolutely loving for this season from blush tones, white on white, to white and gold. They also contain some of my favorite items and trends for this season which include a white blazer, a pair of super flare leg jeans and colored denim. 

What looks are you loving and hoping to pick up for spring? 

Spring Renewal

With a week off to myself and the arrival of spring, I spent the better part of the week before last embracing the change in season (and weather) with a bit of much needed renewal. From cleaning out (read: emptying out) my closets and sprucing up my room to shopping, (lots of shopping), it was definitely the boost I needed to improve my energy and well-being. 

I attempted to hang up some of my pictures etc. that have been in a bag in my closet for the last idk 5 months or so? I got this far since I am indecisive on how to proceed with the rest of the frames... 

Inspiration struck during one of my weekly trips to Target: this towel ring makes my scarves SO much more accessible! 

I have been searching high and low for a silk dressing gown and finally found one at H&M for $10. It also makes for a nice decoration on its hook behind my door.

My new favorite beauty product: Smashbox's BB cream. I don't want to say too much on it since I just started using it, but I think I may love it...

I really did not think I would find myself rocking anything neon in my lifetime, but here we are with this top from Old Navy. It is a shocking pink and I absolutely love it. In addition, the fit and material is really nice and it can easily be worn dressed down or dressed up.  Can't wait to wear the life out of it. 

How have you been embracing the change of season?

In scrolling through my Facebook timeline today, my friends status couldn't describe the weather today any better: "Last day of January feels like the first day of spring." With this winter being exceptionally mild, with only ONE snow day, its hard for me to not be thinking ahead to spring and spring purchases. 

How is the weather where you are? Are you looking to spring and spring shopping just yet?
