We threatened to do it and here it is -the first Lo and Amy post! We are combining our powers of fashion, style and beauty to cover spring from head to toe!

Amy says: Spring may be here, but that certainly does not mean that Mother Nature knows it! With temperatures greatly changing from day to day, this may be the most difficult time of the year to get dressed. Even for a seasoned stylist like me it can get really annoying. So, why not have some tried and true looks that will always keep you stylish and weather proof!?!

Cameron Diaz has done a fabulous job of rocking a look that can go anywhere from 60 to 80 degrees. It is all about the layering folks! Her light spring scarf and chic blazer make this a realistic outfit for the vast range of temperatures that this time of year can bestow upon us. Nothing about this outfit is too far off range, so anybody can feel comfortable in it.  Look at the foundation of the ensemble -jeans and a t-shirt. Seriously folks, that is it! She punches up the look and makes it appropriate for spring by adding in pops of color. The purple scarf and yellow flats make the basics of the outfit really sing. The simplicity of her bobbles, necklace and layered bracelets, keep the look fun and flirty. By piling on or peeling off any of these sassy layers, you too can weather the storm of Mother Nature's ups and downs!

Lo says: As we throw off our socks, hats and gloves it can be a little frightening to see what we have had covered up for the last six months! Fear not, as I have a few simple tricks to help transition to warmer weather.

Skin
It can be frightening to bare your limbs after a long winter, so one of my tricks is to use Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. This is a great multi-tasking product that hydrates your skin and gives you a little glow. We don't want a “fake tan,” but we just want to take the glare off! This subtle self tanner will warm up your skin gradually and is great for dry skin. Don't forget to step up your SPF now that the sun is out – you will thank me in a few years!

Hair
Time for cut and color ladies! Nothing puts a spring in your step like a fresh cut. Also, why not add some subtle highlights or color those pesky grays? Think fresh, not fake.

Nails
Don't you dare bare your toes in flip flops without a little spring pedicure. A fabulous pedicure can lift your spirits and make your skin tone look gorgeous. I always wear a red tone, but I also love a great pink, coral or French manicure. Heck, go with blue as long as you add a little pep in your step.

Lips and Cheeks
As you stroll through the department store every sales person is trying to sell you the new spring colors! Guess what? You probably already have them, because they are basically the same as last year's spring colors! Your neutral eye shadows and eyeliners can carry you through every season, but you want to change up your cheek and lip color. Spring colors are cooler in tone and tend to be sheerer than winter makeup. Take a clue from the pinks and purples that we wear in Spring clothing. The colors may look too bright, but because they are sheer, they can look more like your natural pigment than the duller looking colors.
