It's the first day of spring, so naturally I had to talk about spring's pastel trend. On the runways, designers rendered pastel hues like blush pink, apricot and lavender in modern, fresh ways. I love the clean lines at Phillip Lim, the unique textures at Jonathan Saunders and the preppy, tailored accents at Diane von Furstenberg.

Here are eight pastel finds to love under $50...how are you wearing this trend?

Vera Wang is bringing a line of cosmetics to Kohl's, where the designer already has a successful fashion line. The Simply Vera Vera Wang Cosmetics line will include 74 products priced from $16.50 to $39.50, reports WWD.

I'm really surprised the price points are so high, even though I'm sure it'll go on sale within a week or so of launching. I'd rather buy M.A.C. or something if I'm going to spend $20 on a lipgloss.

Look for the line in Kohl's stores and online starting next month. Will you be purchasing?
