Wednesday Roundup: Spring-Inspired Everything

Let's just all admit that as much as we love our chunky sweaters, we are now more ready than ever to put them away in exchange for bringing out our lightweight jackets and flowy tops. I am just so sick of the constant snow and cold.

Given my current anti-winter state of mind, I thought I would write today's Wednesday Roundup on Spring-inspired items. It's just necessary for a little pick-me-up. Enjoy!

Sweatpants are typically not my thing (though I am a frequent leggings-as-pants culprit), but paired with the blush tank top from H&M below and some plain sneakers, these frilled slim joggers from ASOS would help make the perfect lounging and errand running outfit.

I just went to Sephora recently, caught a whiff of Un Jardin Sur Le Nil and immediately, I fell in love. It's heavy in the floral department and perfect for a warm, sunny day. Hermès executes fragrance, packaging and all, so beautifully.

I know above I said this would go great tucked into the ASOS joggers, but this blush-colored tank from H&M would also look adorable paired with some skinnies and patterned flats. This simple top can honestly take you anywhere.

I'm not a huge pastel nail person, but Macaron by Kure Bazaar is too sweet. It's the perfect early springtime color.

Benefit's Lollitint looks so intimidating in the packaging. This is very misleading, though, because once you've swiped it on your skin, it transforms into this gorgeous understated orchid that goes perfectly with just about any makeup look.

No doubt that your feet are going to need a little scrubbin' before you can bust out the sandals. This Rosemary Mint Organic Foot Scrub from skinnyskinny is great to keep around for those warmer months when you know you'll be going out in sandals or (gasp!) barefoot.

Is spring on your mind as well? What products or clothing items are you looking forward to bringing out once it gets warmer?

Life's Little Annoyances

     Tomorrow is the first day of my internship and tonight, while preparing an outfit, I came to the not so shocking realization that my wardrobe is simply not prepared for the real world.  Just about every item of clothing falls into one of the following categories:
1) yoga pants
2) sorority t-shirts (holy sorority t-shirts... I own like 100)
3) "going out" clothes; A.k.a. too tight/too low cut for any work environment
4) Boyfriend attire; All the shirts, sweatshirts and basketball shorts that I have acquired as a result of a 2-year-long relationship

Do you see anything in any of these previous categories that seems office appropriate? No?  I don't either. So tomorrow I am wearing a basic H&M LBD and hopefully I'll soon find time in my schedule to go shopping in hopes of creating at least a semblance of a wardrobe.  I'm not a fashion blogger by any means, so this is going to be the biggest fashion complaint you'll be hearing out of me for a while.  However, if you're wanting to get your little beauty problem fix, riddle me this:

What do you do when you're done with exams, but your skin is still stressing like finals took all year?  Help a girl out.  I've got a bit of facial "activity" as Annie of xovain.com so aptly describes it here.

That's all I've got for you this evening, but I hope everyone is having a lovely summer break so far.  You deserve it!
