If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat, then you would have see a few snippets of the very exciting Nordstrom Beauty Trend Event I attended held at Downtown Seattle a couple weekends ago. I got to host a giveaway and invite 10 of my readers to attend the event with me as my VIP guests. We watched top industry insiders reveal spring's best beauty trends hosted by Joelle Russo, Nordstrom's Beauty Director, during a fun runway show full of tips, giveaways, and even a couple male models to get the girls all excited! ;)

Before the show, I got my makeup done by Robyn at M.A.C.'s  courtesy of Nordstrom.  I love M.A.C. Next to Nothing very light foundation. I tend to have super dry lips and she recommended this lip scrub and conditioner which I have been using religiously to health my lips back to scrumptiousness. Also, I am OBSESSED with this mascara for my bottom lashes! Below are the products Robyn used on me:

Nordstrom identified 2017 Spring trends as “Polished Nudes”, "Rosy to Red", and “Golden Days/Sultry Nights.”

I've highlight some of my favorite brands, products, and looks from each trend:

Polished Nudes  –  Lip Trends

Rosy to Red – Lip Trends

Golden Days & Sultry Nights:

For My Natural Beauty Lovers:

Check out Kiehl's, Herbivore, Fresh, Youth to the People, and Kate Somerville

After the show, my guests and I all got to meet celebrity hair stylist, Jen Atkin! She was so cute during the show. Apparently she had just gotten off a long plane ride from Dubai but she was demonstrating some tips and tricks on her own hair. She recommends using a little bit of Wave Spray with the diffuser attachment on the Dyson hair dryer for easy messy waves. I am dying to try her Dry Shampoo Foam. Freaking genius.

I also visited the little pop-up Diptyque apartment. Here are some of my favorite candles and perfumes:

Has anyone else attended a Nordstrom Trend Event? All my guests messaged me after telling me it was their FAVORITE event they have ever attended! Well that was no surprise to me...as it is Nordstrom (the best retailer ever). What are your favorite beauty trends and products this season?

Recap: Nordstrom Beauty Trend Event Spring 2017

Spring Essentials with Blank NYC & Raen

This post is sponsored by Blank NYC, Raen, Stylinity.

Spring is one of my favorite seasons but with the crazy bipolar weather it can be hard to dress for. One day, it's 70 degrees and sunny. The next, it's 40 degrees with frigid winds. For this reason, having a few key pieces in your closet that will layer easily, keep you warm or cool you off when needed is of upmost sartorial importance.

One of my favorite piece is this reversible bomber. Because just like spring weather, my mood can just be as unpredictable. With two cute options—fun spring florals on one side and more muted embroidery on the other— it makes for a winning addition no matter your mood or weather.

As for denim, I always say the more distressing the better. I love this dark indigo pair (under $99!) with with hand sanding, whiskers, distressing and shredding at the hem. I would go down a size.

I am also obsessed with this embroidered moto jacket (in white!), lilac jacket, and the cutest embroidery boyfriend denim from Blank NYC.

Of course I have to finish my outfit with a chic pair of sunnies. With so many options, it was so difficult choosing a pair from Raen. I decided to go with this classic widsor rim sunglasses (which compliments my oval face).

Pstt.. you can get a pair of sunnies at  Raen with code 'Stylinity25' and get $25 off orders over $100, Free 2 Day Shipping and expires on 5/31/17.

Spring Essentials with Blank NYC & Raen

Spring Shoes Must Have + Spring Outfits

It's time to dust off those ankles, get that long-overdue pedi, and welcome Spring with some amazingly cute shoes. I've been slowly coveting them in the past month... Some unsuccessful as it ran small or wasn't as comfortable as it was cute. But these round ups are a winner in my books:

'Adalyn' Espadrille Wedge Sandal - I am sure you've seen these over and over again and for good reasons. The BEST wedges ever. The Orange suede color is back in stock! True to size.

Carrin Embroidered Sneaker - Super easy to add the embroidery trend to any outfit. These espadrille are comfy and add a little length to your legs with the platform. Size up if you have wide feet.

Vince Camuto Jakayla – Perforated Sandal - I literally ran around the city in this post here and my foot were never sore! And I tend to have sensitive feet. These are a definite MUST HAVE! True to size.

Henna Bow Slides - I wore this with an all white outfit (see last picture) and added these shoes and blush bag for a pop of color! True to size.

Blush Harness Ankle Booties (more sizes available at Qupid) - Super light weight and color is perfect for spring! True to size.

Zain Perforated Sneaker - Perforated shoes seems to be the trend for Spring. But I love these because they are the MOST comfortables shoes I've worn (other than sneakers). These have a cushioned footbed that makes me feel like I'm walking on memory foam all day. You can wear it without socks and your feet won't even get sweaty because of the breathability of them. Order half a size down!
