Fashion forward must haves 2016

It was a warm fall and winter season and it maybe spring now, but last weekend winter roared back to haunt everyone during the first weekend of April. With heavy winds, rain and snow, the trees and streets actually look like it’s the winter holidays again. Even the Yankees opening game against the Astros last week, and yesterday’s Mets matinee game against the Fisher Cats have been postponed due to inclement weather. Chilly temperatures will be here for the first month of spring, so don’t even think twice about putting away that winter wardrobe.

Thanks for visiting my blog: Lifestyle411.net I'm currently a lifestyle contributor for Thrive Global and am Amazon Influencer. I was a contributor for Huffington Post and Examiner.com. My stories can be found at https://www.thriveglobal.com/authors/103-beverly-lim --- and huffingtonpost.com/author/beverly-lim --- I'm a super mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and an awesome BFF. I stay organized, thanks to my wireless assistant: smartphone, tablets, and laptop. In addition to beauty, fashion, technology and traveling, I love arts & culture, food/wine, and indulge in very much needed "me" time whenever humanly possible! Dining out, cooking/entertaining family and friends throughout the year makes me happy. I'm addicted to shopping in order to have whatever required to compliment my every mood. I enjoy a good jog, especially after a challenging work day so I can release endorphins. A great session on the treadmill or bike makes me smile from cheek to cheek, no matter how stressful of a day I had! When I'm home and after my family and pets are asleep, I pamper myself with a facial mask, hair treatment and lose myself in an aromatherapy bubble bath. It's like being on a dreamy spa getaway -- till the family wakes up and it's time for me to feed the kids, walk the dogs, to go work... I just loving sharing new finds with all those who have the desire to discover the best of the best that life has to offer!
