It’s always refreshing to change up your beauty routine and colors for Spring. I’ve selected a few of my favorite products and a few that I have my eye on…that Marc Jacobs gloss is so pretty! I generally stick to a natural palette and will occasionally wear a bold lip for something different. I’ve been wearing Amber by Prada consistently for 8 years, and will never stray away from this elegant aroma. What are some of your favorite beauty products and trends?

shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs // leather jacket: ASOS // shirt: H&M (similar here) // jeans: Armani Exchange // bag: Zara // sneakers: Vince

The weather has been crazy cold these past few days, causing me to unpack my puffer coat, gloves, and shovel. Where is Spring? For this look, I knew I wanted to wear a leather jacket and sneakers. I kept the rest simple and opted for jeans and a neutral blouse.

Here are a few looks from the MANGO Summer Catalogue. This specific section is ‘Minimal Cuts’, and it’s perfection! I love the crisp lines and everything looks so chic. Well done, MANGO! I can’t wait to shop these pieces for Summer.

scarf: from Italy // shirt: Zara (similar here) // jeans: Old Navy // shoes: Luca Stefani (similar here) // bag: Zara // watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

A simple all white look needs a few subtle details to make it a bit more interesting. A scarf and shoes can always do the trick! I decided on a smaller scarf since my shirt is oversized, and tied it as a loose neckerchief. Effortless, polished and ready for Spring!

I’m really enjoying these slip-on sneakers, they’re comfortable for wearing around the city and ideal for Spring. The perfect accessory to this sporty-chic look is a black backpack. I’m looking forward to using this bag for upcoming travel and as a nice change from my usual shoulder bags. Have a great Monday!
