Just a few days ago, New York City entered spring. While all the other New Yorkers were wearing pretty spring dresses and sheer jackets, I was wearing about three too many layers. Now that warmer weather has officially arrived, it's time to make sure my closet and beauty cabinet are up to speed.

On the fashion front, I'm looking for something light and cool (in the literal sense of the word). Linen pants and easy to style sandals. We also want a fresh update to our spring workwear rotation. On the beauty front, I want to move to a more glossy, natural makeup look, find a new spring perfume, and stock up on enough sunscreen and self-tanner to get through the summer unscathed. No matter the season, Nordstrom is one of my go-to retailers for anything on my wish list. They carry all of my favorite fashion brands, and their beauty section is filled with brands that Marie Claire's editors love, like Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Ford, Bobbi Brown, etc.
