New Spring Inspiration Board

The heat in CA has been up and I've been wearing shorts every weekend, but it's still not "Spring". I haven't worn my new Go Jane wedges yet, even though I'm wearing flip-flops because I'm waiting to wear them with a Spring outfit.
I've been scouring my Nordstrom catalog along with my magazines and have finally put together my new inspiration board. I'm sure I'll be adding to it, right now it's mostly beauty-related things for make-up and hair, but I still wanted to share it with you.

Here's a shot of the whole thing:


Here's some close-ups of the board:


The top focuses on accessories- belting dresses, layering jewelry and different ways to wear scarves (Goodness I own enough of them). Then the middle, upper corner and bottom I have ways to change up your hair al la Whitney Port (remember her Beauty Inspiration post? Gorgeous!), a new nail look, tons of beauty trends I want to try, and some sunglasses I have my eye on (future post coming sone).

I think this board is perfect for this time of year because I can slowly bring on Spring trends before busting them all out at once in mid-February. Even though it is pretty warm here, I still don't want to wear something that could be deemed seasonally-inappropriate. I realize that fashion rules have evolved and I love Winter White, but some garments are too early to wear out sometimes, like lightweight sundresses. Please do not hold me to this because I'm keeping my right to change my mind at anytime. LOL. This time of year before Spring/Summer are really here I like to dress the part of the weather and wear a mix of Winter-Spring clothes Kramey Martin has geniusly dubbed Spri-nter.  For example, my light weight long sleeve with shorts I wore in this OOTD. Perfect Spri-nter outfit for CA!

Switching up my beauty routine to warmer colors, wearing bright lips, and changing my hair are easy switches that I plan on doing this month (and in the warmer seasons) to tide me over until I can officially bring out my Spring/Summer storage boxes of clothes and make the switch. If only it could hurry Mother Nature to bring on the heat!

What are you ladies doing in anticipation of Spring/Summer? From your blogs, I can see that you guys are as excited as I am, but I know many of you still have cold weather. I have a confession for you, since I grew up in Utah, I've never gotten over not having snow in wintertime (see my top 10 of both CA and UT here). All of your pictures that have snow in the background make my heart ache just a tiny bit. How are you divas doing in the cold? What are you looking forward to wearing?

I savoured reading it. I need to read more on this topic...I am admiring the time and effort you put in your blog, because it is evidently one great place where I can find lot of useful info..
My original review focused on whether you can successfully use an 8 gb version of this 4th gen iPod Touch in lieu of a more expensive, larger memory version. My conclusion (at the end of this highly revised review) was, and remains, a resounding YES but there is one aspect, that applies to ALL the iPod Touch 4th generation editions (8/32/64 gb), that I now think is MUCH more important:

Be certain you have a number of lighter-than-lightweight cardigans to slip on over your dress, and silk scarves to wrap all-around your shoulders.

Oddly enough, LeBron and Janet have the same facial expressions on these covers, and Janet is on her knees in a cage that image is actually more disturbing.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Trend tendencies which alter virtually every fortnight, are endearingly adopted by the female segment of our culture.
If you need to include a bit of flair to some a lot more informal outfit, contemplate pairing your jeans along with your suit jacket.

I've recently started a weblog, the data you present on this site has helped me tremendously. Thank you for all of your time & work.
I love luxury design and gothic furniture. My favourite brand ever is Sige Gold, an italian company that produces wonderful furniture. Do you know it?

Mens lab watches are more masculine now so that when worn, they give emphasis to the contoured body of males giving them more confidence and comfort in their own body skin.

ExactlyPPl are way too critical of other ppl's appearance
Nick and others, Maybe God can choose to send someone to hell because basically, God is heaven, and if you reject God, then you have to go where he's not, which is Hell. If you could get to heaven some way besides Christianity, God wouldn't send his very own son to a brutal death if we could just find a different way, would you? God loves us very much and was very gracious to sacrifice His son just so we can be with Him in Heaven. The bible also have a tremendous history which is well kept track of. Written by many different authors over thousands of years and yet still sticks together perfect, hmm. As for what if we're wrong...who has more to lose, me or you? If I were wrong and you are right, when we both die, POOF! we're both gone from existence. If I'm right and your wrong, uh oh! I go to a place more wonderful than either of us can imagine and you go to a place more horrifying than either can imagine.....for all eternity. Can you imagine how short a 90 year life would feel after 10 million years in eternity? Just some thoughts. Consider it, I would love to be able to spend my eternity in Heaven with you there too.
For that I am sort of happy to not being a celebrity. I don't know how they learn to cope with these crazy fools
Hopefully I'm not sounding critical right here but I believe you might have missed something along the way, like forming relationships, it's a two way street you know , get out of that victim role and see what part you played, all those handles,credits,and pieces of paper you accumulated don,t compare to sitting having a buddy more than a cup of coffee talking about whatever. Acceptance and go on.
