Spring fever has officially set in and I can’t stop thinking about all the fabulous spring and summer styles that are awaiting me!

I’m currently loving this flirty white skirt: it’s a great wearable take on the trendy tiered look that has been ruling the runways!

Free People “Spot Light” Peasant Skirt is available from Nordstrom for $88.

I’ll admit it: the sleek, square shape of this bottle caught my eye long before I read the description of the potion it hides inside, but now I’m definitely intrigued.

The newest fragrance creation from MAC “starts off green then bursts into a flowery bouquet of freesia, black violet and magnolia petals. Sashays into a rich warm amber and balmy vetiver.”

MAC Creation Hue Fragrance is available from Nordstrom for $25.

I’m a huge fan of false lashes. I love how they instantly add drama to an otherwise ordinary eye.

My favorite way to rock false lashes these days is to cut the strip in half and apply only to the outer half of my lash line. This adds oomph without screaming, “HELLO there! LOOK at my false lashes!”

In the last two years I’ve probably gained no less than 20 pounds. (This is kind of hilarious because I thought I was “fat” before the extra 20 pounds!)

Now that the two year anniversary of my dad’s death has passed, it’s time I stop blaming my weight gain on grief and get my fat ass in shape.

This is a lot easier said than done, but I’m determined to make it happen.

Enter: Purple Lab Huge Lips Skinny Hips lip gloss with Hoodia (yes, the appetite suppressant!)

Of course this isn’t a “magic pill” that will erase my extra weight overnight but, hey, if a gorgeous gloss might keep me from succumbing to carb cravings, who am I to keep from re-applying?!

Huge Lips Skinny Hips comes in four shades: No Panty Lines (crystal clear), Worship Kate (Mauve-ish, pinkish with a dose of brown and berry and a tiny bit of sparkle), Kitty Pole Dancer (nude with soft pink undertones) and Red Sole (subtle, sheer red).

The great news is that Purple Lab products are now available at HSN.com. Get the Lip Plumper duo for $29.50!
