Today I’m drawing inspiration from all the amazi Today I’m drawing inspiration from all the amazing bold, bright and colorful art installations around @shopthesonocollection and letting them guide my Spring shopping picks!

Spring 2023 is FILLED with bold, bright and colorful pieces so it wasn’t hard, the only hard part was not taking home every single thing I tried on.

My picks at The Sono Collection for the boldest, brightest, most colorful Spring items are definitely H&M, Zara and Bloomingdales! Each of them offer great items at all price points that will get your wardrobe ready for Spring (and even Summer)!

Next time you’re visiting The Sono Collection take a walk around to get inspired before you start shopping, you won’t be disappointed!

Cruising in Coral with Swimspot

Cruising in Coral with Swimpot
When Swimspot contacted me to collaborate on a Resort Beauty post I was SO excited to be able to play around with warm weather makeup. CORAL is super HOTT right now & also super flattering on all skin tones! As I was putting this look together all I was envisioning was boarding a cruise ship and sailing off to a few tropical islands. Its the perfect look for a day of sightseeing or a glamourous dinner in a super chic restaurant. If you’re like me and like taking a break from wearing makeup on vacation you could easily just slather on SPF, put on a touch of blush and swipe on this lipstick with an cute pair of sunglasses and you’ll be set!

I may have accepted the fact that this look is totally perfect for all weather conditions, but it hasn’t stopped me from compulsively checking flights to Florida so I can actually wear my new swim suit in the sun.

Scroll down to see how to recreate this Coral look on yourself & to get a better look at this GORG Luxe by Lisa Vogel swim suit!

I fell in LOVE with this Luxe by Lisa Vogel Swim Suit the second I saw it on the site. This is the first one piece I’ve worn in YEARS, and I can’t remember why I stopped. This suit is super sexy without being too revealing & great for the adventurous girl who wants to boogie board or snorkel because you won’t have to worry about your suit moving.

All pieces Luxe by Lisa Vogel.
