Give your black blazer a rest and swap it for a white one will take your outfit to new heights of fabulousness.

It’s still not completely warm especially in the evenings so we can still make most of the feeble winter with cute pastel knits that are literally in all the high-street stores right now. These knits can be dressed up with a high wasted skirt or dressed down with boyfriend jeans and converse.

Casual Sneaks

Treat yourself to a fun new pair in a bright color. Trust us you’ll see that you’ve clocked in more minutes on the treadmill. New sneaks = More minutes = more calories. Woohoo!!

Nude Shoes

Nude is the new black! So invest in a pair and you’ll forever wonder why you didnt all those years! They can pretty much compliment any outfit and style and will be your savior on many occasions – be it Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings and even on your nightout about the town. For those ‘blessed’ with a petite height, nude shoes can also create the illusion of longer legs as you are no longer cutting your leg length off with a block of color.

Pastel Manicures

Doesn’t a mani-pedi make you feel so complete? Seeing good looking nails typing away on the keyboard also really motivates us to type too! Abandon the dark winter shades for light pastel shades – nude, white, lavender, baby blue or baby pink to complete your fresh and cheerful spring wardrobe.

Nude Makeup Palette

Lose the dark toned, heavy makeup from winter to a natural dewy glow for Spring. Opt for tinted moisturizers as opposed to heavy foundations and subtle bronze highlights to a heavily blushed and bronzed face. If you still want something strong, go heavy on the lip but with pinks and peaches instead of plums and reds. Check out some of the sexiest nude palettes here.

Once all the shopping is done, take about half an hour or so to really familiarize yourself with your new buys and try transitioning these basics styles into your wardrobe and mix and match for a variety of looks.
