It is already April and "spring has sprung!" I am a person who LOVES warm weather so I can't even explain how happy I am that it is going to begin being sunny and warm outside. The only problem about it being spring is that all the great winter items that we all love and cherish, will not be usable anymore.
I made a list of some things that I have been loving this past winter. Most of which are things that I am going to continue to use/wear but a couple things are out of season and I will have to wait, almost, a whole year till I can use/wear them again :(
anyways here they are:
#1. Velvet Scrunchies
These scrunchies are super wintery. Velvet was very 'in' this winter so I took it upon myself to have at least one item that was made out of velvet. When I first saw these I fell absolutely in love with them and ended up buying three in different colors. They are the perfect thickness and size for my big curly hair.
*American Apparel
I have always went through different jewelry phases. At one point I was obsessed with silver rings and at another time (probably a hand full of years ago) I was obsessed with crazy earrings. But, now I have a thing for short gold necklaces. I'm always afraid that I will change my obsession soon so I never buy too many of one thing, so I bought 3...but then I lost one so the picture is only of 2 of them. I wear these necklaces with basically all my outfits b/c gold goes with everything...except silver. I will never mix gold and silver.

#3. Plaid Scarf
On my trip to London (you can see detail in my earlier posts) We stopped in a Scottish little boutique one night. It sold tons of woven, cashmere, and wool clothing. During my trip I was paying very close attention to the clothing people wore b/c I am really trying to figure out how to define my style and how it evolves. While people watching I noticed a trend which was that tons of people wore big plaid scarves and when we entered the store I knew I just had to get one.
I wear this scarf all the time, wether its just outside in the cold or to make a simple outfit more 'European'. I think that is what my style is. European.
I will be sad to let this scarf go for the season.
*Local store in London (I don't remember the name)
#4. Moisturizer
This is my favorite moisturizer that I have ever used. I use it in the morning after I wash my face and sometimes I may use it at night. It really keeps my face moisturized and soft all day. With it on, my skin is never to oily or to dry. Its perfect!
#5. Glutino Wafers
My mom and I are trying out a gluten free and dairy free diet. That means that a lot of the super delicious and also super unhealthy foods are out of the equation (like pizza...). B/c my mom is always looking for alternatives to those foods we end up always having different weird snacks in our pantry. But these wafers are one thing that always seems to stay put. Its probably not the best thing b/c I always have something to snack on but seriously, they are so good. Even my siblings who aren't keeping my diet love them.
*Glutino: Whole Foods
#6. My Daily Mascara Routine
Every morning after doing certain essential face prepping, I finish off my makeup with three steps. Curling my eyelashes, thickening my eyelashes, and the lengthening my eyelashes. The three products that I use are amazing at what they do. I have to admit that I am not the best at putting on mascara and end up smudging it a bit on my eyelid, but the results that these products accomplish are totally worth it. My lashes are big and bold (not to bold) and last all day long.
*Curler: Sephora
*Thickening Mascara: Almay, from your local drug store.
*Lengthening: Great Lash- Maybelline, also your local drug store
