Yesterday I went to Forever 21 to return this oversized denim jacket I had purchased online. It looked so cool on the model, but on me it looked like something my school bus driver might have worn in the '80s. Trends, amiright.

While we're on the subject of returns, you may not have known that Forever 21 recently updated their return policy! The new return policy offers customers a full refund to their original form of payment within 30 days from the date of purchase. If I'm not mistaken, previously you had 21 days and would receive store credit.

So back to the story at hand: I was able to return my online purchase and I picked out a new denim jacket (here) that's still oversized - which is the look right now - but a bit shorter and better for my frame. I also scooped up a leopard coat for $12.99 plus an extra 30% off. Thank you Daily Style Finds for making me suddenly crave more leopard!

Ok, so here's what to look for this spring: As I touched on briefly in this post, sweet & sporty looks are huge - think pastel hoodies, sweatpants, crop tops, bodysuits, and denim.

Bomber jackets are still huge as are fit and flare skirts but now they're being styled with a modern rockabilly vibe (thank you 3.1 Phillip Lim for that).

I also saw lots of peasant tops and floral prints for that boho life, as well as camo print jackets (I own and love this one) and patchwork denim for that squad life.

If you make a trip to Forever 21, I recommend checking out the accessories and lightweight jackets for spring, as well as these must-have mules...yellow is my favorite! They come in 5 great colors and for just $24.90, these need to be in your closet.

Who else remembers this Jessica Biel look from 2010?! The bold floral print paired with all-black extras made a lasting impression on my mind and I think it looks just as fresh today as it did back then.

Jessica follows an easy outfit formula you can use to style just about any floral/print dress: Toss on a black blazer (a wardrobe essential), add black sandals (but really you could even wear ankle boots, loafers, mules, you name it) and a classic chain strap purse (these never go out of style!)

I actually found quite a few dresses under $44 by the under-the-radar brand Belle + Sky at JCPenney that would be perfect for this outfit! I used a modern cold-shoulder dress to style my "look for less" but rounded up 6 more dresses that would work, too.

With spring events just around the corner, a floral midi dress is a must-have. Wear it to brunch, wear it for Easter, wear it to work, the possibilities are endless!

Shop my look for less picks below including 6 more Belle + Sky dresses from just $29.99!

I'm a sucker for a cute top that I can throw on with my favorite jeans to feel somewhat put-together. Lately my Instagram and Pinterest feeds have been blowing up with new t-shirt styles that I'm finding hard to resist! From crisscross details to casual ruffles, these tops are super stylish, easy to wear, and dare I say, practical. While some trendy tops can be hard to wear on an everyday basis (I'm looking at you, off-the-shoulder-bell-sleeve top) these 9 comfy tees will step up your casual outfit game with minimal effort.

After I checked out the spring fashions at Walmart, we swung by the Easter decor aisle which is already brimming with candies, baskets, and every bunny/carrot/egg themed item you could possibly imagine. I liked the old-timey decor items with a vintage, homemade feel the best, like a little twigs and raffia rabbit, or a door sign that said 'Happy Easter' in brown and orange burlap.

My kids gravitated towards the items in the brightest, most unnatural neon colors imaginable, but somehow I managed to convince them that organic fruit snacks were a better shopping reward than Trolls (the movie) plastic Easter eggs (because we all think of Trolls when we think of Easter...?). Score one for Mom! Check out my pics below to see if there's anything cute you'll be adding to your spring festivities - most items were priced between just $3 and $15.

Last night's Oscars red carpet did not disappoint, from Jessica Biel and Emma Stone's gold perfection to Kirsten Dunst and Brie Larson's timeless black ballgown moments. Then there was Taraji P. Henson who brought the Old Hollywood glamour, while Naomie Harris and Hailee Steinfeld brought two different visions of modern elegance to the scene in shimmering white creations. These are just a few of the stars who made my best-dressed list...but what about real-life inspo? Here I've rounded up 6 fashion and beauty trends you can rock right now, from spring's must-have eyeshadow color to Halle Berry's under-$160 heels...and more!
