Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show – Spring 2016
This past weekend, the weather in Chicago was absolutely gorgeous and I had the pleasure of attending my third Beauty Trend Show at Nordstrom on Michigan Avenue!

I'm loving some of the trends this season and I've linked all the featured brands and products from the show in this post! …

Kendra Scott Chicago – Spring Launch ’16
On Wednesday, I popped into Kendra Scott on Michigan Avenue to get a look at the brand new Spring 2016 collection... and oh my goodness it is GORGEOUS! This season, Kendra Scott's collection was inspired by an artist named Mallory Page. The fluidity of Page's art is quite stunning and it's easy to see the inspiration behind the pieces when looking at her work. The Spring Collection boasts a variety of kite shaped styles, "suspended shell," and jewelry made with amethyst and amazonite. I think …
Lighting Up the Night at The Morton Arboretum – Illuminations
On Sunday night I went to the Morton Arboretum with my family and Matt to attend the Arboretum's holiday lights event, Illuminations! My parents actually gave me a membership to the Arboretum for Christmas this year, so it was fun getting to go and use that for the first time! It was quite chilly that evening, but the lights were so pretty! I had a great time walking around to see all the colorful displays in addition to having a chance to play around with my favorite Christmas present from …

Nordstrom Fall Beauty Trend Show 2015
This weekend I got up very early (a bit too early for a Saturday at least) and I headed downtown to Nordstrom on Michigan Avenue for their Fall Beauty Trend Show!
