Is it really Spring if I’m still bundled in sweaters?
This morning, I headed to work layered in a long-sleeve shirt, blazer, and jacket, while I noticed a neighbor stepping out in a short skirt and tank top despite the chilly 45-degree weather. Am I the only one who finds it hard to stay warm sometimes? You know, the kind of cold that makes you want to wear socks to bed even in summer?
Despite the rain that seemed to last for weeks, I must say I’m truly appreciating this year’s Spring weather. This week is absolutely gorgeous! I’m thrilled we didn’t skip straight to summer as we often do. It feels great to dress in light layers once again.
Recently, Nida tagged me with a fun Spring/Summer Favorites tag, so today I’m excited to share some of the things I’ve been loving this Spring.
FAVORITE PERFUME[line]
CHANEL CHANCE EAU TENDRE and CHANEL COCO MADEMOISELLE.
FAVORITE LIP COLOR[line]
Honestly, my favorite lip color changes almost daily, but one that I reach for quite often is Chanel’s L’Amoreuse. It’s a beautiful pink-berry shade with a luxurious, velvet-like texture. You can check out my swatch here.
FAVORITE DRINK[line]
Water is my go-to drink, as I prefer to avoid sugary juices. However, I’ve recently become quite fond of cold brew matcha. This season, I also love infusing my water with herbs and fruits for a refreshing twist!
FAVORITE BLUSH[line]
Currently, I’m obsessed with MAC’s Cosmic Force. If you’re a regular reader, you probably already know this! It’s a lovely, subtle shade that complements my fair skin beautifully (see my swatch here).
FAVORITE CLOTHING ITEM[line]
As I mentioned earlier, I’m really enjoying wearing light layers, and my favorite right now is the Kimchi Blue Kimono that I previously showcased here. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available. I adore how it adds a splash of color and looks fantastic when layered over shorts or jeans on those cooler Spring days. Additionally, I’m really into my tan Panama hat. A year ago, I wouldn’t have imagined owning five hats, but now I can’t get enough of them!
FAVORITE MOVIE[line]
I don’t have a specific movie I watch during this season, but I recently rewatched *The Secret Garden*, and I still adore it!
FAVORITE TV SHOW[line]
The only cable show I regularly watch is *The Walking Dead*, but since the next season doesn’t premiere until October, I’ve turned to Netflix. Right now, I’m hooked on *How to Get Away With Murder* (it’s playing on my TV as I write this!). Nida also mentioned *Game of Thrones*, and I feel it’s about time for me to get into it!
FAVORITE FOOD[line]
I’m all about fresh, green foods. During the Winter, I enjoy warm comfort dishes like baked sweet potatoes and hearty soups, but in Spring, I crave salads, smoothies, and the delightful combination of avocado and brown rice sushi. And of course, fresh fruits like chilled cantaloupe—so delicious!
What are some of your favorite things this Spring? I encourage everyone to participate in this tag—if you do, be sure to share your links with me!
