Make it feel like spring..

...even when it's not quite there yet. 

Driving home last night, I appreciated the sun still being in the sky.  That's step one.  Lighter, longer days.  Now, the temp just needs to crawl back up! 

And for when that doesn't work, the little things will keep me perked up.

I got these sunglasses with Mike at-- believe it or not-- Target!  I tried on quite a few before I settled on these.  Yes, I still have an obsession with all things (and especially accessories) Kate Spade, but at my rate of losing/breaking/gnarling sunglasses, I'm starting with these.  Here's my promise to myself:  If I make it the whole summer without absolutely ruining these, next year I'm getting my favorites.

The other spring fun thing is this sample of Curve Appeal, sent to me by Glamour.  I've been in a program with them, called "Glambassadors," since 2009.  They send me amazing things to try out.  Last year it was Surf Spray from Bumble and Bumble.  It's a little treat this time, but this scent is LOVELY!  I remember using Curve back in junior high.... and I never touched it since.  This is a more grown-up version, with soft notes of florals and just enough warmth too.  I'll be sporting it this week!  I'm almost out of my stand-by, j'adore, so we'll see what comes next!

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray

Last week I received Bumble and Bumble's newest product, Surf Spray.  It's a little spritz bottle that you can apply to any hair, wet or dry.  It gives any hairdo a bit of beachy-ness, whether or not you're near the shore.  Since my hair is mainly straight and doesn't really do the sprunch thing well, I was a bit skeptical about it working.  I used a pretty healthy amount on damp hair and scrunched it in.  I let my hair air dry and this is what I got.....

Pretty good, eh? I like how it look so easy, but it's not messy. I think it would look great on hair that's been lightly waved with a curling iron. It has a little hold, but doesn't feel sticky or goopy. It's really as if you came back from the beach... like the salt in the ocean was your stylist.
