Spring Weekend Essentials

Back in college the term "spring weekend" meant a long weekend of campus festivities including dorm olympics, epic parties, and a surprise concert (still excited that I was front row for Fabolous and he touched my hand). Now "spring weekend" just means any weekend during the spring season where I stock up on the season's must haves or pack for a quick getaway.

1. My Sephora goodies arrived from the VIB Sale, and I couldn't be happier to have my replenished my favorite baked blush and even my hair is excited over my new dry shampoo and Hot Toddy heat and UV protectant.
2. Even though I picked up 2 for $24 Bath and Body Works candles last weekend, I'm a little too excited to pick up some more fresh spring and summer scents since they're having another sale on their 3 wick candles now through the 24th. Don't walk... run!
3. How cute is this fedora? Perfect for all the upcoming outdoor time! I never used to think I could pull off hats, but lately I've been obsessed especially with fedoras.
4. Another obsession this season are pretty stackable rings, especially pretty bar rings like this Rebecca Minkoff one.
5. As if we all haven't gushed about the off the shoulder trend that has blown up this year, I still can't get enough. This tribal mini dress has been on my radar for a few weeks now, and I think it's time to pull the trigger!

Linking up today with Rebecca for That Friday Blog Hop, April for 5 on Friday, Tif for High Five for Friday, Lauren for Fab Favorites, and Amanda for Friday Favorites. Hop on over and join us! Happy Friday!

VIB Sale Picks

It's no secret that Sephora is currently having a spring sale - 10% off everything for Beauty Insiders and 15% off everything for VIB and Rouge members. I love when they have these semi-annual sales, because it's a great time to stock up on every day items and other items I've yet to pull the trigger on.

Sephora Collection Microsmooth Baked Blush - My favorite blush is from the Sephora Collection, I love the light shimmer so what better time to stock up?
Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit - How gorgeous is this glow kit?! The packaging alone draws me in, and the metallic highlighters make this limited edition palette a must-buy for me.
Drybar Hot Toddy - I mentioned that this product was on my radar on Friday, and with 15% off it'll be a great time to try it out considering I love all Drybar products.
Drybar Full Pint Medium Round Brush - Another Drybar product I've been waiting to purchase, I'm still loving my Lemon Drop Detangler so I'm sure I'll love this brush too for the perfect blowout.
Clarisonic Deep Pore Replacement Brush Head - Such a boring purchase, but since I go embarrassingly too long in-between changing my brush heads I should definitely take advantage of the 15% off.
Urban Decay Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush - Not only does this brush create a flawless finish, but it's also vegan. It was developed to perfectly apply the Naked Skin foundation.
Living Proof Dry Shampoo - Kerri's hair looked so fabulous the other day, and she said she owed it to this dry shampoo. Her hair is just as fine as mine, and she highly recommends this dry shampoo over the cheaper ones in drug stores. Sold!

What are you hoping to pick up during the sale?

Sephora Goodies + Sale

Happy first day of September! I'm not quite sure where August went, but I am still squeezing out the last goodness of summer until the calendar or the weather tells me to stop. Or I may continue the fun even longer, which is why I moved to Florida.

With the close of August, comes the rest of my shopping sprees courtesy of birthday gift cards. I cashed in another gift card at Sephora and picked up a few more items I'd been wanting to try out. Other than the moonshadow palette (which is a part of the sale), I went for mostly hair products.

I may have had a few Sephora hauls recently, but that doesn't mean I don't have some favorites at their So Long, Summer Sale. Below are some of my picks from the sale, including one of my holy grail products - Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Benefit's They're Real! Tease | Urban Decay Primer Potion | Tarte Maracuja Blush & Glow | First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Serum | Sephora Collection Brush | Sephora Collection Moonshadow Baked Palette | Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gloss | Murad Environmental Shield Duo

What are you hoping to pick up at the sale at a great price?

It's almost time for the rest of us!

I'm so excited that tomorrow is finally the day that I along with the rest of the Nordstrom "peasants" (i.e. non-card holders) can shop the fabulous anniversary sale. I'm sure by now you're sick of seeing all the wish lists floating around blog land, but I wanted to share some of the items I have my heart set on when the sale is available to the rest of us fashionista shoppers looking for a great deal.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015 Wish List by greenfashionistablog 

Now, unfortunately there is no way this is all ending up in my shopping cart *womp womp*. But these are the items I have my eye on, and am hoping to pick up a few of them during the sale. Plus, I noticed a trend that I tend to gravitate towards the same brands (Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, and Marc Jacobs). Nothing from Marc Jacobs ended up on my wish list this year *tear*, but I did find a lot of Kate Spade items that I fell in love with including the Happy Hour watch I've been lusting after for months!

Every year I always drool over all the gorgeous boots some of you girls score at fantastic prices, but if I'm going to be realistic as a Florida girl said boots would only get worn a few times a year and would collect dust in the closet. So, I choose the Tory Burch T Logo Sandals, and a pair of Michael Kors platform sandals which would get much more use. I also need a good raincoat, and am loving the Michael Kors Single Breasted Raincoat in red. Such a gorgeous pop of color for a rainy day!

What were some of your favorite finds from the sale? Are you a card holder or a "peasant" like me, and have to wait until tomorrow?
