And…shockingly enough…I might actually buy my first pair of flats. I know, right?! I’ve never purchased a pair of flats in my life (I’ve been wearing heels since the 7th grade), but these bright pink flats get me excited…so you just might see me with a new spring in my flat-footed step this Spring!
And if you don’t have colored cropped jeans, you must stop whatever it is you’re doing and buy some. I have 5 pair. Yes. Five. (At this point, I’m really hoping my husband has lost all interest in this post and stopped reading it…). These super cute colored jeans from Gap will update your wardrobe without you spending a fortune (Mom…if you’re reading this…you need some! Buy some right this second!).
And now…this is me. Short shorts. I’m 31 years old…eventually, I will probably have to stop wearing short shorts but honestly, I might be 81 before that happens. I love shorts with wedges. But if you’re a flats kind of girl, colored shorts with flats are super cute too. I’m not even going to count my colored shorts…let’s just say I have enough to wear I have to refer to them by shades of a color (my light pink pair, my neon pink pair, my hot pink pair, etc.). These Old Navy shorts are super cute, super comfy and super affordable.
And since the weather is getting warmer, that means everyone is getting geared up for swimsuit season which means, we have to work out even more. There is just something powerful and motivating about buying yourself new workout gear. Try it and believe me..you’ll be working out!
A friend of mine was wearing this perfume a few years ago, and I just kept thinking how fresh and spring-y she smelled. I bought me some and now it’s a staple at my house. Plus, it’s really affordable and the scent lasts all day. It smells sweet like cotton candy…which, if you’re a girl like me, is a great complement to shorts and wedges ;).
I have blogged about this before but let me reiterate myself…these tanning towels are perfection! I use one a week for a wonderfully subtle glow. Trust me…these are so much easier to use than a lotion or cream. You will become a believer!

I’ve also blogged about my love of Nars the Multiple before too. This little magic stick does everything from highlight, cheek color, eye color or even a little lip color. I like the peachy Orgasm shade but all of the Multiple shades are flattering. This one little stick will totally update your makeup routine.
Speaking of Nars…a girl needs a fresh new lip gloss to usher in Spring…

I bought this Butter London shade and my nails just say “Spring!”. Purple is so girly and feminine without being pink. Love it!

I am such a beachy wave kind of girl that I’m always experimenting with new texture sprays…but this BB Surf Spray just might be my favorite. I spray it on my damp hair and let it air dry. It’s beachy perfection!
These are my favorite things for Spring! I hope you found something here you need to get you in the mood for warmer weather, outdoor activities and poolside fun. Happy Spring!
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Okay….maybe my problem has been that I need to buy new workout gear. My goodness I hope that's it. Off to by workout gear so I can get pool ready for you! 🙂

I have an addiction to pink sugar too. I also found an etsy shop that sells solid lotion bars and she offers a pink sugar scent. Smells so amazing and very similar to the original. Plus…heels are my friend. I got a pair of sperry's recently and finally wore them.
Little Kitchie says
I have so many NARS Multiples that they take up an entire shelf in our bathroom cabinet. It drives my husband just a little crazy 🙂 My favorite is G-Spot, but Orgasm is a close second!!
Alison @ Get Your Pretty On says
Awesome picks! Old Navy's shorts are the best. I have them in every color too. And those coral wedges are a must have. Now I'm really craving some warm temps!
BrittKathleen says
Ok I'm in love with nars, the pink sugar, the glow pads, obviously the wedges… Lets just say this was a wonderful post and I'm ready to go shopping!

Listen.blog readers… The girl knows what she's talking about!! I took shays advice with the tanning towels last time she did this, and its true. They are a little slice of heaven! shay, such great taste girlfriend!!
Jill says
I am so going to try your tanning sheets you talked about. I totally lived in a tanning bed years ago (not sure what I was thinking, obviously NOT thinking) and now I want some color. So glad I found your blog through kelly's blog, and of course I never knew Sean had such a cool sister. Can't wait to be a regular reader of your blog.
Aubs says
Love this! Definitely going to have to check out the pink sugar and I've had my eye on those scarves at gap so clearly this is a sign that I just need to get one! 🙂

The pink ballet flats are adorbs! Off to purchase my jeans RIGHT now! 🙂
Kristen says
What a fun list! Thanks for doing this. 🙂
Amie says
I just bought new work out gear and just that gave me even more energy to step up my exercise game,it felt great! I also bought the brightest neon pink shirt I could find to go with my neon pink nail polish! Ready for spring for sure. Thanks so much for all of the ideas 🙂
Karen Peterson says
My favorite thing about spring is wearing cute skirts. With cute shoes/sandals.
Jaylyn Bond says
I agree, you totally NEED those wedges! They are fabulous 🙂

I am such a huge fan of the Gap Skimmer Jeans. I am wearing them today in lime green.
I'm digging the wedges & think that I might have to get myself a pair. I've had my eye on some at Target, but these are almost the same price & even cuter.
Kelly says
LOVE those wedges! That pink bag is adorable and I am going to have to try those tanning wipes. 🙂 I need me some color..dang MN ghost white!
Amy Shaughnessy says
I wear heels a lot and have to make myself put on flats. I only have a few pair because heels really are my preference. (Although flats are more comfortable…)

Ok, I love this list! I'll admit it- I'm also a 30-something fan of the shorty shorts, ha! Come on spring!
Erin says
Love all of your picks! I use the bumble surf spray all the time when I wear my hair natural, love it! I definitely have my eye on some colored crops this spring and wedges are a must for me, comfortable enough to chase after a kiddo but still cute!
Jen A @ Love, the Arthurs says
Love your list! I've never hear of those glow pads…they sound amazing! I am kinda terrified of skin cancer (my grandpa had it) so any sunless tanners that look good are my faves! And I'm going to have to try out that Nars stick too! I'm sure my husband will be soooo glad I read this list and have all these things I HAVE to buy now! Haha! 🙂
Narci D says
I have a love/hate relationship with your favorites lists! I always love everything on them, but I hate what they do to my bank account. 😉 Off to get some shopping done!
Tiffany says
Your style is very similar to mine. I want those Steve Madden Wedges!
Kristin says
Can't do wedges, my feet would hate me, but they are cute! Love anything/everything makeup/perfume/polish related and will have to hold off since I just made a recent purchase from Sephora! 🙂
April purchases are in my future!

Ahhh, this post was EXACTLY what I needed today! It is DUMPING SNOW outside here in Iowa and spring seems eternities away….but your post gives me hope I will be able to wear wedges shorts and purple nail polish before too long. Spring is around the corner!
Tracy says
Love this post! And I know from other posts that you also happen to be a huge fan of bangles so thought I'd tell you about a website that a friend just showed me.They have super cute bangles from India that are bought from local villagers so it stimulates their economy, but the best part they are SO CHEAP!I'm seriously obsessed. the website is banglesofbombay.com

I am drooling over that Kate Spade bag, and the Nars lipgloss, and the wedges, and the… good Lord. Spring's going to be expensive. 🙂

I bought the tanning towels you talked about but I just want to know how you apply them. Do you exfoliate your face and body first or do you skip that since they kind of are exfoliating wipes? Would love your advice on how to prepare and apply these wipes! Love your blog…you are beautiful and so is your family!
Mix and Match Mama says
I use them once a week after I get out of the shower. I start with my legs and then do my shoulders and arms and finish off with my mid-section. I let it dry about 5 minutes before putting clothes on. That's it!
