In need of a refreshing spring make over?
I recently had the pleasure of attending Getting Gorgeous (hosted by Audrey McClellan and Vera Sweeney) and got the scoop on some new and exciting spring must haves.
There were so many fabulous brands and products showcased at this event. It’s hard to pick which one to start with, but I happen to be a big New Balance (and Heidi Klum) fan, so I’ll start with them.
|1.| New Balance by Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum has partnered with New Balance to launch her new fitness wear and active footwear line. Keeping with her fashion forward skills, Heidi’s running shoes are extremely nice to look at and amazingly light and comfy.
I was also impressed after trying on The New Balance ‘Well2Go Ballet Flat ‘. It feels like an athletic shoe with incredible cushioning and reversible inserts for support; while still providing a feminine styling of a ballet slipper.
What I love most about this shoe is it’s versatility. It has the comfort and support to wear to a yoga class and also stylish enough to wear with jeans while running errands.
|2.| Thyme Maternity
Thyme Maternity products meet the needs of expecting moms throughout their pregnancy and beyond. Their fabrics are specially chosen for their luxurious softness. You can find spring and summer Thyme Maternity styles at Babies R Us. {And… Psst! They’re running a buy 2 get 2 free sale right now)
|3.| Stokke
Speaking of stylish expecting moms. How incredible would it be to strolling through the park one day with this Stokke Xplory?

This is a product I know Corine is considering for the little one she’s expecting this fall, and now having seen it, it is no wonder. Stokke does an amazing job at combining technology and style. Also? I especially loved the sibling board attachment. How cool is that?
|4.| Bacardi Light Drinks
This almost too gorgeous to drink Strawberry Daiquari by Bacardi was there to greet me when I walked into Getting Gorgeous. I have to admit it was the most exotic looking cocktail I’ve had- complete with edible flowers.
I am not sure what the best part of this beverage was… maybe the light, fruity taste that brought me back to the time I spent relaxing on a tropical island…No, No, that wasn’t it. Maybe it was the chunks of fresh strawberry frozen inside the ice cubes? No, No. That wasn’t it either. Oh wait! that’s right… it was most definitely the 90 calorie- calorie count!! AWESOME.
|5.| Jade and Jasper
Jade and Jasper jewelry is designed with the belief that truly gorgeous jewelry design is in the details– and that belief shows through out their entire line. The gems used in these pieces are made of glass crystal which is known to last thousands of years! Just check out this beautiful jade statement bracelet!
|6.| Foster Grant Eye Wear
With Brook Shields as the face of these shades, is there any question how gorgeous they are?
Foster Grant Eyewear is the original sunglass manufacturer and is the perfect mix of style and affordability. Every pair of their sunglasses are made from lightweight, durable materials and also includes MaxBlock™ 100% UVA-UVB lens protection.
|7.| Love Jac Greeting Cards
Think Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, New Babies, and everything in between. Love Jac is an impressive HANDMADE card company, who creates their designs using the creator’s original photography and unique type written messages.
|8.| Garnier BB Cream
While checking out the amazing products CVS Beauty Club had on display, I was matched perfectly to this amazing BB Cream. Garnier BB Cream is known to be one of the best ones on the market, and I have to agree– Great coverage and lots of moisturizing goodness!
|9.| Conair Infinity Pro Styling Tools
Another find from CVS Beauty Club’s display, Conair’s Infiniti Pro Styling tools are made from stainless steel and perform to give you salon results at home. I tried out the Infinity Pro Ceramic Flat Iron at Getting Gorgeous and was AMAZED how flat (and frizz-less) it made my hair.
I am still testing these two products out- but so far, I must say I am impressed!
|10.| Coolibar
Coolibar is Sun protection at it’s (stylish) best! The Coolibar line offers everything from sun hats, to wet suits and more that all offer UPF 50+ sun protection. With this stylish oversized sun hat I’m ready to hit the beach! Now if only the weather here in NJ would cooperate!
