I’m so excited about these new Superfood products from Elemis! As you know, I am a huge fan of Elemis skin care products. Their Marine cream is my holy grail, go-to cream for daytime skin care. So, when Elemis sent me their new skin care products from the Elemis Superfood collection, I was thrilled!

The new additions to the Superfood skin care collection include two masks, one exfoliator, and a fabulous mist which will be perfect for the upcoming warm weather season. I love using a mist after I have been out in the sun, and when my skin is unusually dry. This new Elemis Superfood Kefir-Tea Mist will be a life-saver for dry skin this spring and summer!

There are two new masks and an exfoliator in the Superfood collection. The Elemis Superfood Blackcurrant Jelly Exfoliator is a fabulous mask for leaving your skin feeling smooth and clean. It’s really gentle, and smells like a jelly sandwich. Yum!

The Elemis Superfood Berry Boost mask absorbs excess oil, which is perfect for my oily skin. It too smells like a jelly sandwich. I’m getting hungry! haha.

Lastly, the Elemis Superfood Vital Veggie Mask brightens skin. This is the perfect mask for refreshing your skin when you are tired or dehydrated. It really freshens up your face!

What I love about the Elemis Superfood skin care collection is that it is made with sustainably-sourced, organic, natural ingredients. They use pre-biotics which fuel and feed your skin’s microbiome; helping to keep your skin healthy and fresh. The vegan-friendly ingredients are filled with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals your skin craves. It’s like food for your skin. Love that!

Spring 2019 shopping Strategy

spring 2019 trends

Spring 2019 is hitting store shelves, this means it is time to figure out what to keep from last year, and what we need to add to our closets in the new year. The runways brought us several new, and repeating trends for the upcoming warm weather season. Some trends made it from the runway to store shelves, while others, never made it off the catwalk. Here is a list of trends which have made the transition from runway to street for the spring 2019 season. Knowing these trends will help us all shop our closets, then, we can fill them in with what we need!

Spring 2019 shopping list: outerwear

Trench coats and athletic jackets are the two types of outerwear you will want to wear this spring 2019 season. Look for 1980s inspired track jackets, stadium jackets, and jackets in general. Classic trench coats will also be your go-to on non-athleiure days. Look for jacket length styles as well as coat length when shopping for the ultimate trench coat.

Spring 2019 shopping list: clothing

Athleisure is getting more and more popular as time marches on. Look for track suits, leggings with tops, and gym to street looks.

Anything with a 1980s vibe is hotter than hot. Look for neon hues, exaggerated sleeves, ankle boots, and gasp! Shoulder pads!

Cropped pants. How dare your pants brush up against your ankle! Wide leg pants through skin tight pants should be cropped. We need to see those fabulous booties, chunky sneakers, and colorful sandals!

Mixed print dresses are the ultimate spring dress style. Look for dresses with built-in mixed prints, v-necks, and asymmetrical lines.

Stripes are hotter than hot this spring season. Look for nautical stripes, wide, stripes, and all types of stripes.

Neon hues and pastel shades are the colors to look for this spring. Pastels may not be ground breaking, but they will be your go-to color palette if neon isn’t your thing.

Look for a continuation of menswear inspirations, blazers over jeans, plaid and mixed plaids, matching sets aka suits, and 1970s inspiration.

Spring 2019 shopping list: handbags

You can check out my full report on spring 2019 handbag trends here. In general, look for neon, pastel or black colors. Mixed colors are also a thing. Look for square shapes rather than last year’s circle, and think small but not nano.

Spring 2019 shopping list: shoes

Chunky and funky street sneakers are all the rage this spring 2019 season! Also, look for multi-color, bright footwear to brighten up your look. Kitten heels are also the go-to heel height this spring while boots are continuing to be a year-round trend; so cold spring days are solved with booties-love that!

There you have it! Look for lower priced items on trends which are continuing or seem fleeting. You can invest in classic trends such as trench coats and black handbags; that is a great way to spend your spring dollars. Since the 1980s are a growing trend, it is also a good trend to invest in this spring. When it comes to the 1970s, shop your closet or look for lower priced items since that decade’s influence may start to wane when we move into 2020.

Have a fabulous time shopping for spring 2019! Here are a few of my favorite things for the new, warm weather season.

Which trends are you excited about? Any you plan to stay away from?

Athleisure is growing in popularity, and with it, comes some funky trends! Designers are loving both pastel colors, and neon hues this spring 2019 season. They have incorporated these colors into one of the hottest spring 2019 shoe trends of the season; the chunky sneaker.

Instead of hobbling around on 5″ heels this spring season, you can have happy feet planted safely inside of a funky, chunky pair of sneakers. Sneakers for spring 2019 are being shown with exaggerated soles, wedges, and larger-than-life treads. You won’t slip and fall in these shoes, that’s for sure!

When shopping for a pair of fabulous, and fashionable, chunky sneakers this spring 2019 season, look for neon hues, pastel colors, and notice-me designs. Your sneakers should not be quiet. The more colors on them, the better! This is the season for your funky, casual feet to shine! Enjoy the comfort!

If a mix of neon hues is too bright for you, and mixed pastels aren’t your thing, never fear, color blocked neutrals are here! Designers are also showing chunky street sneakers for spring in mixed neutral hues. You won’t have to sacrifice your understated, personal style on your footwear this season. You can still rock those neutrals while remaining on trend for the season. Love that!

I found a few fabulous pairs of chunky sneakers for spring 2019 around the web, and I assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them!
