It could be just me but in the past few years I’ve gained a few more cosmetics that I seem to want to use everyday and I don’t like changing up the routine even on vacation. Rather than leave my precious moisturizers and cleansers behind, I’ve decided to upgrade to a bigger case for the upcoming spring and summer travel season. Here’s six cases that any traveling mom would love to have by her side.

The newly married actress has been missing in action from the red carpet of late, but Leighton came back with a stylish vengeance last week. She showed off her fine-tuned fashion sense on Wednesday at the Of Mice and Men Opening Night After-Party in a navy Versace draped chiffon gown. Jewelry from both Kimberly McDonald and Jacob & Co. along with a white clutch served as accessories.

Leighton kept the streak going on Friday when she also impressed at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Life Partners. Working a lighter shade of blue, the former Gossip Girl star opted for this Emporio Armani Spring 2014 dress with slightly contrasting ribbed skirt. Jacob & Co. jewels, a gray clutch and neutral double strap sandals wrapped up the look.

We’re thrilled that Leighton hasn’t lost her fashion mojo and can’t wait to see what she wears next!

No matter your age, it’s hard not to be excited as the first wave of butterflies return each spring. Regardless of what the calendar or the thermometer says, the pretty little insects practically scream “spring is here.” Even if they haven’t returned to your area of the country, you’re probably seeing them thanks to a girls’ spring mini-trend that includes butterfly prints. From literal monarchs printed on tees to lacy butterfly overlays to graphic butterfly designs, these harbingers of spring are popping up all over girls’ clothing, shoes and accessories. In styles for all ages, every little girl can find bright, springy butterfly prints to suit her personality.

It seems like I’ve been wearing jeans since the beginning of September and I’m so ready to shed them as the warm weather paves way for brighter patterns and colors. It’s so fun to wear a print and this season it’s the printed pant that I’m craving. Perfect for a day in the park with kids paired with a pair of espadrilles or worn dressed up with wedges, these pants will be your go to this season.

It’s amazing what a difference a little drape can make, isn’t it? This beautifully constructed dress features a sophisticated wrap front that nicely balances the tropical print. It introduces a touch of beachy-glam style to your spring wardrobe, and is something you can easily wear well into summer. Great for special occasions! Also in navy.

Bath and Body Works Hawaiian Scents Collection

I couldn’t help but notice the new Bath & Body Works line which features Hawaiian-themed scents, like Oahu Coconut Sunset, Maui Hibiscus Beach and Hawaii Passionfruit Kiss. My personal favorite is Oahu Coconut Sunset which is what they describe as a sunny blend of coconut blossoms and exotic tiger lily warmed by molten amber. But if coconut isn’t your thing, Maui Hibiscus Beach  is described as a refreshing mix of star fruit, fresh mango wood and sweet tropical hibiscus while they say Hawaii Passionfruit Kiss is a sexy pairing of exotic passionfruit and papaya blossoms wrapped in creamy macadamia.

Each of the new scents come in Body Lotion, Shower Gel, Fine Fragrance Mist and Triple Moisture Body Cream formulas and are available at bathandbodyworks.com and online.

A bright, bold sweater is the best piece to complete your look this spring when it’s too warm for jackets, yet not quite summer. We recently stumbled upon this Montreal-based line, SHiliconfETTI, on Etsy and fell in love with the striking prints. They even have sweaters that feature rain drops and clouds – how perfect for spring, right? The line is inspired by travel, drawing influence from countries like Holland and Iceland.

A pop of coral is the perfect addition to a sweet, simple wedge that is just made for welcoming warm weather with open arms. From the unexpected lace upper to the striped lining to the supportive ankle strap, it’s a cute shoe that feels as good as it looks.

We thought we knew it all, but here are three skincare tips that we totally didn’t expect to hear.

1. Any lotion is better than none. While we usually recommend a moisturizer designed specifically for your face, in a pinch any lotion will do. The #1 thing your skin needs to look amazing is hydration, so don’t let it be thirsty! If you’re at a sleepover or hotel and your only option is hand lotion, it’s better than skipping moisturizing all together.

2. Hydrocortisone cream can help pimples. Yup, that over the counter stuff that’s probably in your parent’s medicine cabinets can help you zap zits (it’s the same ingredient that dermatologists use when they inject pimples). Put a healthy glob onto the affected area and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb.

3. You can get burned, even when you’re not in the sun. Standing near a space heater or sleep near the radiator? Your skin might be suffering. Even though there’s no sun, this type of heat can still cause damage (and aging down the line) to your skin. Bottom line – move away!

Since the music festival season is just heating up and with summer around the corner, we’ve been seeing the latest trend of hippie sandals hitting the streets. While the hippie shoes of yesteryear have been given a much needed style update in both color and prints, the lovely comfort of the shoes is still the same. There’s no better time to reinvest in your favorite Birkenstocks and get ready for the summer sandal season in style and comfort.

Chanel‘s creations are routinely favored by celebs for red carpet events. The fashion house produces some of the most expansive collections season after season, so it’s amazing that one dramatic gown has been worn by so many stars. On Monday, Crystal Renn selected a Fall 2011 white cap sleeve gown with black shredded skirt for the New Yorkers For Children’s annual spring dinner dance in New York City. While there’s no denying that Crystal looks great, this is the fourth outing of the multifaceted piece. Lily Allen attended the 57th BFI London Film Festival Closing Night Gala and Premiere of Saving Mr. Banks last October in the same two-tone gown, although she opted to keep the original embroidered leaf waistband. A Chanel Lego clutch polished off the look. Back in January 2012, Emilia Clarke slipped it on for that year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The Game of Thrones actress wasn’t the first to rock this look, though. Zoe Kravitz had the honor of premiering the gown at the 2011 UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York City. She also skipped that flashy waistband accent.

Did Crystal outshine her predecessors or should this gown be retired from the red carpet already?
