Spring Fashion Soirees

Ahhh...I can see it, feel it, smell it, Spring is in the air!  Just a few more weeks and Spring will finally be here.  Other than Fall, Spring is my second favorite season.  After a dreary winter with snow and icy mixes, dry beatened skin, and itchy wool coats, I am ready for the crisp, sunny days ahead.  What I love most is Easter (it's just something nostalgic about attending church, and eating a big brunch/dinner with the fam) spending more time outdoors, and checking out the new spring fashions.  I will posting my trend report shortly after Spring hits, but in the meantime, I have included a few fashion/beauty events you Urbanistas may be interested in attending this spring!
