What i’m loving: spring twenty twelve
People.
Spring is here. No. For reals.
In case you missed the memo, yesterday was officially the first day of spring. Crazy, right? We have been patiently waiting for this day to come and now that it’s finally here, we want to shout from the mountaintop, we HEART SPRING! Phew. Glad we could get that off our chest. The last time we did “What we're Loving Now” was this past winter. Well, we have officially given Old Man Winter the boot and we're ready to welcome spring with open arms. Anyways, here are couple of things that we're loving right now for spring…. Neon Colors -we were at Nordstroms last week picking up a gift for Callie’s birthday, when we stopped and noticed that the women’s clothing section was bursting with color. From yellow to purple to blue, it was a ROYGBV explosion. Obviously, we don’t have the personality to pull off two neon colors at once, but we would definitely wear a bright orange top with skinny jeans, and nude flats. Hello, spring! (source) Nicki Minaj for OPI – we'll admit it, we are a complete nerd for not knowing who the heck Nicki Minaj is. Could someone please explain? Anyways, we don’t know if you’ve seen her recently-launched line with OPI, but it is off the chain! Check out all of these fun nail polish colors. Our personal favorite? Definitely the silver sparkles and mermaid turquoise. We need to make a pedicure appointment, stat.

Joy the Baker Cookbook – Don’t you just love Joy? If she asked us to be her bestie we would probably faint. For those of you that don’t know about Joy’s blog, Joy the Baker, you should totally check it out because you’ll want to be best friends with her, too. Scout’s honor. Anyways, a couple of weeks ago she released her first cookbook. Our copy is probably somewhere in Cleveland as we type this, and will hopefully be on our doorstep by this weekend. Joy the Baker Cookbook: 101 Simple and Comforting Recipes covers everything from how to make pancakes for one to speedy tips on how to make kitchen-made buttermilk. This cookbook has it all. Check it out! There’s plenty of room on the Joy Baker Bandwagon! (source) Side-Parting Ponytail – It’s back. Wait. It never left. You can probably gather from our work fashion shots in the bathroom that we wear our hair in a ponytail everyday. We know, it’s boring, but did you know that ponytails are all the rage for spring? Yep. From Jessica Alba to Lauren Conrad to Molly Simms, everyone is rockin’ the side-parting ponytail. Instead of the typical pulled back ponytail that makes you look like an alien, the side pony is a fun way to add sporty sophistication without a lot of work. Clearly this look is two thumbs up (and to the side)!
(source) The Veggie Makeover – One of our goals for 2012 is to eat more veggies. Yes, we realize that’s a rather boring goal, but not if you have some fun with it. Like making beet ice cream. Do wha…? Or by making a cucumber-berry smoothie. We think a reliable way to look at this makeover is by not listening to your mother – play with your food! Alright, what are you currently loving?
