Now that Spring is here, it is time to add some new pieces to my wardrobe. I was really excited to hear that PINK is in! I happen to be a big fan of pink so this only gives me an excuse to go shopping!

Are you into fashion? Kohl’s Spring Fashion Hangout provides some really great tips on what trends to be on the lookout for Spring.

They actually have some really CUTE Lauren Conrad dresses that would be perfect for the Spring as well as skirts, tops and shoes!

“I participated in a sponsored campaign on behalf of Sverve for JenJenHouse. All thoughts are my own.

I am a mom of four and happen to have a junior this year in high school. For the last few weeks all I have heard about is prom. Not only have I been hearing on TV and the internet, my daughter, the one that is a junior cannot stop talking about prom and prom dresses. She doesn’t even have a date yet, but she is wanting a dress…

In the past, we haven’t been that successful in finding the perfect dress at the stores local to me. Last year for homecoming it took me several stores to find both of my daughters in high school a dress that they would feel confident in for the evening.

For prom I am thinking of trying the online route. There are some really cheap prom dresses at JenJenHouse that I know my daughter would love. I know her style and I found a couple dresses I really like. My daughter was looking for something blue. I found this beautiful blue Princess Sweetheart Asymmetrical Chiffon Prom Dress With Ruffle Beading.

There are actually so many beautiful dresses on this site for great prices that I kind of wish it was me getting ready for prom. Here is another dress in a different shade of blue that I think would look good on my daughter.

Both of these dresses are under $200 and definitely in my price range. What I need to do now is get my daughter’s measurements so we can make sure to get the right size. Since junior prom is just next month, I want to make sure I order a dress that is sure to fit her.

JenJenHouse has more than just prom dresses. To check out their selection of dresses, accessories and reception favors visit: www.JenJenHouse.com.

Which of the two dresses above would you choose?

The air is cold. You wake up to a frosty car and it’s officially the winter season in most of the country. From the evening flurries to digging out those snow boots, your wardrobe needs to change to accommodate the winter weather. Many people enjoy this seasonal change as it means more layers, new accessories, and even the chance to wear a new outfit they have saved since last year; which is why many retailers tend to give out a lot of deals on outfits around this time of the year, as people are more likely to shop more once the weather gets colder.

If you live where the seasons change drastically and you experience wintery weather, you probably have a box full of winter accessories like gloves, mittens, hats, and scarves that you break out when the weather starts to get cold. Are you looking for the hottest new ways to stay warm this year? Here are some great tips on fashionable and functional winter accessories.

• Knit headbands: These are one of the season’s top trends. Instead of wearing a hat-flattening hat, opt for the colorful headband/ear warmers to keep your ears warm without damaging your hair. This can be a great option if you are outside before arriving at work on a subway or walking and don’t want your hair to be flat and full of static.
• Scarves: A scarf is still one of the hottest trends for the winter and some of your fall and spring scarves can transition to winter easily. If you want a scarf to help keep you warm, choose a thicker material and a bright color is perfect for a pop of color added to your darker winter clothes.
• Gloves: No, these are not just any gloves! The latest craze can be found in texting gloves. These allow you to message check emails, even play games on your smartphone or tablet while your fingers stay toasty warm. This may not seem like a necessity but think back to the last time you attended a winter activity outdoors and wanted to take pictures with your phone; you probably had to keep removing your gloves, mess with your phone, and then put your gloves back on. There is also the possibility of dropping your phone or gloves in the process and it can become a mess, instead of the enjoyable experience it was meant to be. Texting gloves eliminate these hassles and make it possible to stay connected while staying warm.
• Puffy vests: A vest can be a great alternative to a big, bulky coat, especially if you need to move around while you’re outside. If you’re playing with the kids in the snow or driving around from store to store, a puffy coat with sleeves can be cumbersome. A vest will usually keep you just as warm but without the bulk. These can also be worn in less than frigid conditions as a layering option. Many people find these vests a comfortable option to a heavy winter coat.
• Boots: Who doesn’t love a new pair of shoes? With all the stylish boots available, gone are the days of wearing black rubber boots or snow shoes over your own shoes. You can buy a stylish pair of boots that will keep your feet dry and warm all the while looking fabulous for any occasion. In the past, if you were going to be outdoors at any point in your day, you had to prepare for the winter mix of slush, ice and snow with your wardrobe options. While you still need to plan and prepare, there are stylish ways to get through your day without spending a fortune on new shoes.

Accessorizing for the winter is about function and style. Many retailers are offering a solid mix of both and with some careful shopping, you can get great deals on outfits you can mix and match for a full wardrobe for those cold wintery days.
