{ Via: Lulu Frost }

The calendar does say Spring, right? I had gloves and a muffler on today. People out east, are still wearing snow boots. This will all come to an end soon. If you are like me, you have Spring Fever in a big way. So today's quick post features Spring links to get you in the mood.

Choose a FREE gift with your $39.50 Lancome purchase, now at NORDSTROM.

It's all about Spring Fever at Goop. Shop the light-as-air-pieces—linen, chambray, pastels—to carry you into

Don't miss Serena & Lily's Spring Sale. On my radar of beautiful buys are these white Rope Baskets. These Ivory Pillar Candles are the buy of the century and less than $10. If you need some new lighting for the kitchen or bathroom vanity, the Reed Pendants a really great and begin at just $29.

Spring and outdoor dining are going to show up soon, right? Be prepared with the prettiest paper plates ever at Shop Terrain. They are by Liberty and are just charming.

There's a new bag at BaubleBar & it's a natural for Spring! Take your pick, the personalized chic clutch or terrific tote.

Shoes this Spring are so pricey. Jeffrey Campbell keeps the style high and the prices low. Shop the collection at Shopbop. I think I am ordering The Jenae Scarf Mules. Can't decide which color. Maybe both?

If you don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook, then you don't know that Nordstrom is offering 15% off  beauty brands like Clinique, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Dior, Kiehl's, and many more. Not sure when the sale is over, but I have been stocking up all week. P.S. Always free shipping and samples at Nordstrom.

And finally, are you sending Easter or Passover treats across the miles? I can highly recommend Mouth.com. Not only do they offer unique small batch food, snacks, and liquor, their Easter collection is beyond unique. Think I am sending the chocolate bourbon
 to you know who!

We are in the midst of three Spring holidays - Easter, Greek Easter, and Passover. I just love it when we all celebrate together. Here's a roundup of celebration worthy and bunny approved recipes.  Think Grilled Pineapple Caprese Eggs Benedict, the prettiest Ham you ever did see, the best Bagel and Smoked Salmon Bar and more elevated options.
