First stop was H&M. I walked in and within 5 minutes came across this dress:
Okay, so maybe the picture doesn't do it justice, but it is the perfect light, flowy dress for spring. I love the understated leopard print pattern and the slight detail of the ruffles off to the right of the dress. Plus it gathers at the waist to make me look like I have somewhat of a shape and because it's not unbearably tight I could definitely pig out in this dress. And the price tag of $39.00 was definitely easy on the eyes.
Next stop was Zara and and was really excited to see this:
Honestly I have been to this store a few times and could never find anything to fit me. I'm not a huge person but there were times when I couldn't get some dresses over my thighs. Yeah, like that's not embarassing. However, today I did come across this black sheath dress and did a dance of joy when I discovered that I could actually fit in it. I did another dance of joy when I found out that the dress was $59. Doesn't it look like it should be more expensive?
My last stop was my all-time favorite store in the whole wide world - Sephora. I swear that I love this store more then sex chocolate. I could spend hours and hours lingering over every aisle, testing and swatching every product, fantasizing about different looks that can be created with that one perfect lipstick. But alas, I only had 30 minutes to be in and out so I had to choose my products wisely. And here they are:
From Left to Right:
1) Fiberwig DIY Volumizer Mascara - This is the sister mascara to the Fiberwig Mascara that I reviewed here. I like the fact that this mascara wand isn't curved and hoping that it will load my sparse eyelashes with an abundant amount of volume. We'll see.
2) Hourglass Aura cheek stain (in Petal)- This is one of Sephora's HOT products right now and since I ran out of my NARS Orgasm blush stick that I talk about here I thought that I would try this out. I don't own any Hourglass products so this should be an interesting buy.
3) Hourglass Film Noir Mascara (x2)- These are sample sizes that were given to me because of Insider points. I don't know much about this mascara except for the fact that the brush is shaped like an hourglass.
4) Urban Decay eye primer potion (in Sin)- Could this be the holy grail of primers for the eye? Can't wait to try!
5) Stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner (in lionfish)- I have this product in Stingray. I love that it doesn't smudge (true to the name) even through workouts. I sometimes have it on for 13 hours and it doesn't budge. Love it!
Hmmm... I think that I see a few reviews in your future.
What about you? Have you done any spring shopping? Do share!

No, haven't gone spring shopping yet, but I need to.
Oh I can't wait to see the reviews, there are a few items in that make up basket that I've heard of but never tried! And both your dresses are gorgeous- so chic! I tried on the green version of that H&M dress when they had it in the fall and LOVED it (the cut is so pretty!) but they didn't have my size (actually I was in France at the time and every H&M I went to I went straight to this dress to check for my size... NOTHING! Even when I came home I looked and looked and never came across it, so weird!)
Can't wait to see you rock them!
I think the dress is fabulous, and you are right, it does look rather pricy... great find.
Thanks for dropping a line on my last post, a tip from a guy, a nice pair of stockings or tights paired with a pair of sexy heels, transform any average pair of legs into sex objects. You should give it a try. :) And yes, you are right, you girls gotta flaunt those legs... heheh...
Hope your week starts off well.
Colin.
I love the two dresses you picked up from H&M and Zara- they are so gorgeous! Things I've picked up for spring so far are a couple of maxi skirts, a romper, and some wedges! :)
