With Spring in the air, temps warming up, and daylight lasting longer, it was high time I broke out some color and spiced things up at work. This is my toned down version of color blocking. I originally wanted to wear a bright orange sweater on top, but thought it might a bit bold for my co-workers. Thus, I opted for a light orange gingham blouse. This is by far my favorite spring outfit to date. I can't wait to break out more color. Long live spring!

Beauty Routine

Hi All! It's been a few days since I've been on the blog. Work got a bit crazy last week and I just didn't have the time to post. But, I'm back and thought I'd kick off the week with some of my beauty must haves. I love all these items and use them regularly.  What are some of your favorite beauty products? I'm always on the hunt for new stuff.

1. Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia Cologne 3.4 oz $105 - Nordstrom.com
2. Chloe Rosebud 1.7oz Eau de Parfum Spray $85 - Sephora.com
3. Jergens® natural glow Firming Daily Moisturizer - Target (I've got pale skin and this one looks the most natural and allows me to go out without tights and not blind people)
4. Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-aging Eye Cream Line and Dark Circle Minimizing brush $20 - Amazon.Com (can't say enough about this, it works beautifully)
5. Fructis Style Full control Anti-humidity hairspray- Target
6. Living Proof Straight Making No Frizz Styling Cream $36- Sephora.Com (with curly hair like mine, this makes blow drying straight MUCH easier
7. Essie Nail Polish, Big Spender $7- Target
8. Evian Mineral Water Spray $10 - Sephora.com (I love this to "set" my make-up when I'm done)
9. Arcona Skin Care - Basic 5 - Arcona.com (been using for years and honestly makes my skin look amazing)
10. Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System $149- Sephora.com (feels and looks like a mini facial everytime)
11. Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover $10- Target (hands down the best eye makeup remover I've found, not greasy and takes everything off)

Target (or Tar-jay)

Check these beauties out! They arrived in the mail today from Target.com. Aren't they just gorgeous? I didn't even realize they were available yet, but... they are. Just one more great designer partnership with Target! Have I mentioned I love Target (doesn't hurt that I work for them - but they don't pay me to write this stuff, just love the place I work!). When I saw these shoes online this weekend, I knew I had to have them. Now, I could have just run down to my Target to get them, but they were buy one, get one 50% off online only! Now that's a deal I couldn't pass up (add on my team member discount and the 5% rewards for using my Target Visa- can you say STEAL!!). I should be getting the other pair later this week- for some reason they needed to ship them separately (not that I mind because it was also free shipping).

Speaking of Target, Tuesday was our Spring Meeting. Picture a sea of people, dressed in red and khaki, invading downtown Minneapolis on their way to Target Center. There's always a buzz of anticipation as you walk into the meeting - who will be there (this meeting it was Ricky Martin and Jennifer Hudson!), what's coming up this year (Godiva chocolate for Easter? Yum) and reconnecting with friends in from the field. It's always a good time and today was no exception. During the meeting, we had a fashion show highlighting the Go International 5 year celebration. It featured the dresses from various designers we've collaborated with over the years. I snagged four(!) of the re-released dresses last Friday. The store I shop at is an early set store, so I was there waiting for them to open. As soon as we were let in, it was a mod scene in dresses. Girls were grabbing 5-6 dresses at a time. I don't think I've ever seen a line for the fitting room at Target! I went in to get one, walked out with four and was happy with all of my purchases. Can't wait to remix them this spring and summer!
