Nordstrom - Quay Retro SunglassesWe've spent plenty of time bowing down to Kate Middleton and her ever-royal style. But when we tell you to embrace your inner print-cess — you see what we did there? — this spring, we're not talking about the fashionable duchess.

Puns aside, we can't take our eyes off this season's selection of bold, colorful printed sunglasses that make us want to retire our plain black wayfarers forever. Why we love this trend: Sure, it can be intimidating to step out in (gulp) floral skinnies or, really, anything pattern-heavy. We suspiciously stare down that polka-dot frock in our closet nearly every morning. So while we couldn't be any more supportive of daring wardrobe choices, we know pattern play isn't an everyday thing for everyone.

And that's why a pair of print-cessy shades is the perfect go-to for an on-trend outfit pick-me-up that won't leave you obsessing to your roommate/boyfriend/mirror, "Are you sure this goes together?" Just put on your sunnies and head somewhere, well, sunny.

L'Oreal Drumbeat Red Ad from the 90s

I am a drugstore beauty product addict. It all started when I began hoarding my lunch money and spending it on fashion magazines instead of pizza slices. I would flip through in amazement at all of the beautiful women and mentally take note of all of their makeup looks. One particular ad featuring, then model-of-the-moment Milla Jovovich, prompted my first makeup purchase ever. L'Oreal Drumbeat Red lipstick. I saved up $7, a lot for a fifteen year old with zero income, and headed to my local drugstore. I had to keep it a secret because my Mom wouldn't approve of me wearing lipstick, especially red. I wore that lipstick to my first school dance and wearing red ever since!

Fast forward to my early years of working as a Makeup Artist in a department store. I worked with my best friend and we were surrounded by luxury makeup all day. We would constantly play, tempt each other with new product discoveries and encourage one another to buy things because "you have to have it!" Following a

True Blue Spa chamomile and lavender blendWe want you to put your best foot forward this spring. Literally.

Sure, it's been a while since your feet have seen the light of day or, really, anything beyond your big, bad winter boots. But transitioning your toes into the sun is as easy as tossing said boots to the back of your closet. It's all about getting your tootsies ready to see and be seen — and you don't even need to go to a salon.

"Nail" the art of the DIY at-home pedicure now, and you'll be a total pro by summer. And when you're done getting your feet beach-ready, we're also breaking down the shoes of the season that will show off all of your hard work. Let's take it one (artfully polished and callus-free) step at a time, shall we?

1. Be a softie

Getting ready for spring doesn't have to be hard — but your feet should feel totally soft. Fill your tub-of-choice with warm water, and sprinkle in a handful of foot soak, like Bath and Body Works' True Blue Spa chamomile and lavender blend ($15, BathandBodyWorks.com). While the

Me and my tweezed, tinted and filled-in eyebrows

I'm obsessed with eyebrows. Not just my own eyebrows, but the eyebrows of the world. I look at people's eyebrows all the time, deconstruct them and re-imagine them in the shape that I feel would flatter them the most. Countless hours have been spent coaching friends, family and clients about where they need to grow in their brows, what they should do to make their brows look better and urging them to, no matter what, stay away from their tweezers!

Eyebrows are one of the most important and unforgiving features of our face. They frame the eyes and naturally our gaze goes to them. When someone has great brows they look polished, even with a makeup-free face. But overly-tweezed brows or unflattering brow shapes age people and can even distort the shape of a face. Here are some of my tips and tricks to help create your most beautiful eyebrows...

Don't just let anyone groom your eyebrows. I have had horrible wax and threading experiences that have resulted in permanent holes in my

Good news for guys who don't want to spend their entire rent check on high-quality denim: American brand Gustin launched its online store today.

Gustin isn't new -- it launched six years ago -- but its prices will be much lower. The company's selvedge jeans, which are handmade in San Francisco from American Cone Mills and Japanese denim, were selling in boutiques for $200 (Cone Mills denim is known to sell for an eye-popping $300).

The company had a Kickstarter campaign earlier this year that sold the same jeans for $81, though I abstained because they were only selling the straight fit, which I already own. Now, the company's selection includes a slim fit for the same price or $99 depending on the model (you can compare fits here).

The site's crowdsourcing works like this: You "back" a pair of jeans, and if enough people buy in over the next two weeks, Gustin will charge you and start producing them. Considering they've already sold out several campaigns today, it's likely you'll get

Photo: Sally HansenSo, it doesn't really make sense to have a makeup bag full of fresh spring goodies and not have your nails looking just as good! Here’s a rundown of the hottest new products from some of my favorite nail brands:

Sally Hansen Compete Manicure In A Bottle ($7.99 each, drugstores nationwide)

What It Is: A line of nail polishes that promises to deliver bottom coat, color, topcoat as well as a gel-like finish and enhanced chip-resistant power. Each also includes their Precision Brush, which is rounded to fit the hugs and curves of your cuticles and nail beds making it super easy to give yourself a quick manicure.

Why You Need It: Just in case you’re low on cash and not able to splurge on that $25 gel mani at the nail salon, here’s a great substitute! The shades in the collection hit the spring nail trends on the head and feature everything from metals to pastels and blues. What I love most about the line (more than the price) is that all of the shades dry quickly so it’s easy to give

Betabrand claims the softness of Vajama's rivals sleeping on a pile of mutant giant baby chicks

I am an avid Twitterer...er Tweeter? I haven't owned television in eight years and I like that twitter allows me to check out new and interesting blogs, articles and products without throwing commercials at me. It was on my daily Twitter check that I came across a product that kind of ruffled my feathers. Vajamas by Betabrand.

I clicked on the link and was transported to the Betabrand site and the Vajamas product information page. In essence, Vajamas are $85 synthetic fleece pajama pants, but the webpage for these PJ's was very intriguing and pretty entertaining. I read through all of the design specs and customer comments and decided I wanted to know more. I contacted Betabrand rep Chris Lindland about the origins of Vajamas.

The Betabrand Vajama Soft-o-Meter

Me: How did Vajamas come about?

Chris: For a couple years, we've sold Vagisoft blankets, which are incredibly soft and supple. They're softer than a freshly laundered bunny. Softer than Ewok armpits. The only thing softer than Vagisoft is the womb of a
