Pastels always feel right for spring, from your clothes to your fingertips. This season, icy pastels like blues, mints and really pale pinks were all over the runways. Inspired by this trend and the latest nail colors from Sally Hansen, I created a chic & easy icy pastel polka-dot manicure using Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in Blue Away and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Party (get both at Target!).

Perfect for summer nights, Christopher Kane's blush pink pleated maxi skirt is a not-so-perfect $1,599 at Selfridges. But fortunately we found the look for less elsewhere and it's just $35 (more color options, too). Can you spot the real from the steal? Click either image below to check your guess!

Did you know? May is Gold Month and it's in its 11th year, celebrating the love of all things Karat Gold, from fashion-forward to everyday classic gold jewelry. In honor of this fashionable anniversary, I'm sharing one of my favorite pieces of gold jewelry from my personal collection - my 14 Karat Gold antique "snake" ring from my Grandmother. It's meaningful because it's unique, just like my Grandmother, and the gold offsets the tiny diamonds and rubies (my birthstone!) so well. I love to layer it with other delicate gold pieces, like my initial ring, and some gold bangles. May is the perfect time to wear gold since the weather's warming up and gold pairs beautifully with colors like coral, turquoise and white. It's also the perfect time to treat yourself to gold must haves (think classic hoops, the perfect gold chain bracelet or gold boyfriend watch). Plus, gold makes a great gift, from Mother's Day and graduations, to bridal showers, weddings and anniversaries!

May is Gold Month is also hosting three amazing giveaways! Read on for the details...

In addition to the cute shoes, I also snapped some photos of my favorite new spring pieces from the LC Lauren Conrad collection at Kohl's, which is having a big sale right now (when are they not having a sale?!) I spotted this denim vest and knew I had to have it, since it's such a versatile layering piece for spring/summer. See how cute Kristin Cavallari looks with a denim vest and white shorts (HERE), or Jessica Alba with a denim vest layered over a maxi dress (HERE)? I also couldn't resist buying this skirt with the prettiest beachy sailboat print that looked like something you'd find in an Anthropologie catalog on a French looking model riding a bike or something equally romantic. I wanted the white jeans, too, but um, not such a good idea with an 11-month-old. If you're looking for cute denim shorts, or a lovely dress for a special occasion, LC has you covered.
