    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This time of year can be so busy. So I am here to help you get organized with what you will need this season.</p>
<p><strong>White/Black T shirts/Tanks</strong>- Every spring I go out and purchase some new clean and <a href="http://www.ivyblue.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=8&amp;products_id=353&amp;zenid=f16c605e6fa15fb2bc47db6676bcac85">crisp t shirts </a>and tanks. They are perfect to pair up with a pair of jean, mini skirt or Capri's and some sandals for a casual evening out. Always great for layering with other tops. I love this sequined tank from <a href="http://www.ivyblue.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=361&amp;zenid=f16c605e6fa15fb2bc47db6676bcac85">Ivy Blue</a>. Not exactly casual- but so fun and glamorous.</p>
<p><strong>New Specialty Bras</strong>- So, to make your new tanks and tops look perfect- get the right bra to wear underneath. A great <a href="http://www.figleaves.com/us/nsf/qwiseranswered.asp?searchhandle=A%253dbra%257eB%253dbra%257eD%253d12%257eG%253d3046%255e2%257eK%253d4%257eL%253d1%257eM%253d116%257eN%253d2%257e&amp;answerhandle=3269&amp;answerhandleback=2785&amp;originalquery=&amp;answer=1&amp;answer=1&amp;answer=1&amp;answer=1&amp;answer=3269">racer back bra </a>under tanks and a good <a href="http://www.barenecessities.com/catalog.asp?drv=&amp;nxs=31&amp;size=&amp;vendor=&amp;price=&amp;style=11">strapless bra </a>for these new style tube dresses they are showing is a must. I just ordered the <a href="http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=WC-75317&amp;mci=&amp;size=&amp;colour=&amp;image=r1612-p452692-front">Wacoal Racer Back Bra</a> when I just put on my old one and realized it was not doing the trick- if you know what I mean!</p>
<p><strong>Comfortable/ Cute Dress</strong>- They are showing a ton of flowing, summery dresses. Find the right look for you. Some may be more comfortable with a long flowing floral style, while others may like a <a href="http://www.ivyblue.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=223&amp;zenid=f16c605e6fa15fb2bc47db6676bcac85">short baby doll style</a>. just make sure you buy something that you will wear. It may look adorable on someone else, but you might not feel right in it. There are so many choices, so you will be able to find a look that is perfect for you.</p>
<p><strong>Flowing/Baby Doll Style Top-</strong> I would imagine you will not need a closet filled with these. But a couple for hot summer days or nights would be great. I just bought one from my friend Jane the Tie Dye Lady from <a href="http://www.shopsaylavie.com/newstyles.php">Say La Vie</a>. This light weight top will look great with jeans and sandals.Then I can dress it up with a pair of white pants and strappy sandals/heels. I also found a few baby doll style tops that were <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=300316&amp;CategoryID=36084">not too poofy</a> and over powering. Wear with a <a href="http://www.karmaloop.com/products.asp?ProductID=38557&amp;VendorCode=CHE">skinny jean </a>and heels and you are set.</p>
<p><strong>Sandals</strong>- My favorite part of the spring turning to summer season is the shoes. I love all forms of sandals-from functional <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=320828&amp;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results">Fit Flops </a>to the new <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=302637&amp;CategoryID=36871&amp;LinkType=EverGreen">Gladiator Style Flats </a>to <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=297379&amp;CategoryID=17570&amp;LinkType=EverGreen">Chunky Wedges</a>. I can get enough. Make sure you can walk in ones that you plan on using day to day. Less functional shoes are good for <a href="http://www.karmaloop.com/products.asp?ProductID=28530&amp;VendorCode=SUG">going out to a party </a>or for a romantic dinner. The Gladiator style shoes look adorable with a long summer dress. </p>
<p><strong>Trendy New Spring Bag</strong>- The look this spring is fun and colorful. I recently purchased a bright orange bag from Erica at <a href="http://www.shopboutiqueonfeet.com/catalog.php/goldfontana/dt56982/pd1168747/KIM">Boutique</a> on Feet. I plan on wearing it ASAP. I bought my mom one in white, but I am sure she will want a colorful one once she sees mine. <a href="http://www.thefusionboutique.com/spring-package-c-65.html?osCsid=d4fd0ddd716d022d3d21135b83f2cac8">The Fusion Boutique </a>is also carrying a fun bag- which has teamed up with Loose Lips NY for a special package at a reasonable price. Check it out too.</p>
<p><strong>Makeup</strong>- Need a little spring change? Put away your matte neutral brown lipstick and add some color to your look. Don't be afraid of trying some <a href="http://www.looselipsny.com/Products_lips.html">pinks and plums</a>. Same goes for your eyes. Throw out old makeup- especially <a href="http://www.looselipsny.com/Products_eyes.html">mascara</a>- the breeding ground for the nastiest bacteria. Some <a href="http://www.looselipsny.com/Products_foundation.html">tinted moisturizer with SPF </a>is so important now. With the sun rays beating down on us- how can you not! Also <a href="http://www.ivyblue.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=361&amp;zenid=f16c605e6fa15fb2bc47db6676bcac85">bronzer</a> is a must this time of year- before you have any color, but are wearing the latest spring fashions. Dust some on your cheeks and wear you normally get color and you will look awesome. Eb-from Make Me Over Eb- will be talking about spring makeovers this Friday May 16Th at 2 PM EST on <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/looselipsny">our Pod Cast</a>. Come listen for some more ideas.</p>
<p>OK- I think I gave you enough things for your shopping list! Wait until Summer when I will need to add some more!</p>
