Spring Fling

Spring Fling by mandynicoleblog featuring bobbi brown cosmetics

This weekends temps had this girl excited for spring. While I was stuck inside most of the weekend, watching state wrestling, without a phone...{not going to lie it was actually nice} I was able to sneak off to the mall with my sister-in-law.

I think it's safe to say we both did some {reasonable} damage. I mean we deserve it! I can't wait to share a blog post on some of the new beauty products I recently purchased.

I've been obsessing over this Bobbi Brown Blush {pastel pink} and decided to give it a try. I also adore this Mac lip shade in "Candy Yum Yum."

I can't wait to pack away all my winter sweaters and pull out all my spring clothing. I'm looking forward to wearing pastels, printed ankle pants, and fun sandals like these Elina Linardaki {currently on my wish list}.

I'm dying over how cute and versatile this Phlox Collar necklace is. I couldn't resist. This necklace can be worn with a plain white Tee for a more casual look or pairs nicely with this Vince Camuto "Off the Shoulder" blouse.

Hope you got out and enjoyed your favorite actives this weekend! I'm hoping this weather is here to stay {for awhile at least} ;)

Does is get any better than shopping for your loved ones, co-workers, and homegirls for the holidays? {yes, I said homegirls...it may be so 2008, but lets just appreciate the meaning}. What I can tell you is if you're anything like me...you most likely wait last minute, thinking...the perfect gift is out there. It has be. Right? Wrong, sometimes holiday gift shopping can be overwhelming..lets be honest with ourselves a pair of socks or a boring smelling candle just isn't going to cut it for that IT girl in your life. It's like chips without queso and that's just insulting.

I wanted to make it a little easier for y'all by putting a gift guide for all you ladies with men in your life {who need help in the gift buying department}, besties, mothers, or co-workers. If you don't have anyone to buy for this season...tis' the season for giving to yourself for all that hard work ;)

P.S if you couldn't tell...I'm slightly obsessed with white and gold for the holidays {#elegant} and anything/everything BaubleBar {#canyoublameagirl}! I also want to point everything minus the Sultra Bombshell Curling Iron {which is amazing} are all under $60 or less! Now that's what I call successful holiday shopping!

Happy Holiday Shopping!

I have to brag about my latest find you all.  I've been on the hunt for the perfect distressed boyfriend jean..not to mention having spent countless hours roaming the Internet but coming up empty handed {#completefail}. Finally, my friend Brooke and I thought it would be fun to take a spontaneous trip to the ole' Mall of America. You know, every woman's dream and every guys nightmare? Not only was I determined, but she as well. Of course our first stop was to Nordstrom {#nordygirlsforlife} can you say {#thisgirlwasinheaven}. 

So, after trying on 100+ pairs, in all honestly I think Brooke had me beat, I found these amazingggg BLANKNYC' distressed denim and let me tell you...I'M OBSESSED. Not to mention there the perfect price at $88 dollars. A spring/summer staple piece for sure ladies. I can't wait to just throw these on with a perfect Tee and a cute summer sandal. Anyways, I hope you enjoy your Sunday Funday....I'm off to finish a 12 hour shift. Wish me luck, but who needs luck when you have coffee :). 

Thanks for stopping loves!
