Our Top Picks for the Week of April 2, 2018

Hope your weekend was great! We have some great picks for you this week. We'll start with a cheer-y, spring-y blush and highlighter combo, add some cute, ruffled pants that are really, really comfy, and finally (finally!) a belt that is both stylish and classic, and can be adjust to fit at the waist or hips. Plus, this week kicks off National Letter Writing Month. Amy has the details on the first event to celebrate.Elizabeth: Lizzie Fortunato is known for her beautiful earrings; we have a hard time keeping them in stock. This season we couldn't seem to pass on the belts, either. I always have a hard time finding belts and so we were thrilled to find a belt with such a classic look yet still something you don’t see everywhere. Besides the amazing leather and hardware, the other great feature is they are adjustable, so you don’t have to worry about sizing and you can wear either higher on your waist or lower on your hips. They think of everything! (Available at The Hive, Georgia wide belt, $240, in black and tan; Georgia skinny belt, $195, in black, cream, tan and navy)Celeste: Flirty, fun, and not your typical pant, the Bailey 44 Petunia Pant is a fitted ponte pant with wide flounce detail at the hem. The material contains Lycra for a bit of stretch and style retention, plus it has an elastic waistband for easy, pull-on style. (Available at Kiskadee, $180)Amy: April is National Letter Writing Month and we are celebrating with events all month long (see today's post for more), starting this week with a demonstration on how to make your own greeting cards from Michele Hatty Fritz of Meant To Be Calligraphy. Purchase your kits here and join us Wednesday, April 4 from 6-8pm during our monthly Correspondence Club meeting!Angela: Kevyn Aucoin has done it again with their neo-blush palette. The perfect blend of color and highlight in a portable, compact size. My favorite color right now is Grapevine! (Available at Bellacara, $38)
