Last week I told you how much I enjoy art and museums. However, a day at the museum can turn into a long day on your feet. I asked you all to go Fab Finding for a comfortable, but artsy outfit for a long day at the museum. Think Marni eclectic meets GAP comfort. I started you off with this Stella McCartney Metallic coated canvas bag, $825, because I for one like to be hands free while absorbing myself in art. Also, I thought the gunmetal color of this bag is modern and chic. I said I'd probably need a pair of flats or mini wedges so my feet and back aren't killing me by the end of the day. To see all the museum fab finds click here. Let's see what masterpieces you all came up with!
Look #1, found by WhiplashGirlchild is undeniably cool with these Minnetonka Fringed Suede Boots, which I actually own, and this Alice + Olivia Dolman Sweater.

I know a lot of you are fans of the Fendi B Bag...so I'll be nice. I personally think it is a very stiff, awkward looking bag that often looks cheap to me. We are all entitled to our options so what do you all think? nati posted this new B Bag style for Spring in the Love It or Hate It? group. That colorful design running down the buckles only further hurts this $1,940 bag. Thoughts?

We've seen it all over the runways and in magazines a million times already; this Spring big is back when it comes to hair! Here are three of my favorite volumizers to give your locks some oomph! To use, simply section your hair and spray the volumizer close to the root in short spritzes. Here's a helpful hint: follow with heat styling. As you blow dry - lift the roots with a round brush and apply direct heat.
Kiehl's Super Thick Volumizer, $18.50, is a medium hold volumizer that provides lift and support to the roots of your hair where it needs the most help. Hair is the heaviest at the root and this product is specially formulated to provide long-lasting shape, texture and flexibility.
What's special about this product is the root lifting nozzle which allows for fool proof precise application. It is made from soy beans, sunflower and sesame to help condition and thicken hair.

When form meets function you have the convertible bag. These have been the celeb favorite lately. Remember Reese and her Lanvin? As well, Ashley Olsen's all about it. When worn as a satchel, the long strap hangs in a cool lackadaisical fashion; when worn as a shoulder bag, it looks travel ready. The convertible bag is even more convenient than the car, if you ask me. Here are some fab favorites.

What a cutie! Although, I think Hilary is trying to shed that image - remember her daring minidress at the Grammys? And here, she is pairing a very Spring-like trench with rocker black skinnies; totally digging this look btw. I think there's a bit too much volume with this trench on her - she's swimming in it - so I found a more tame version.

Aveda just keeps getting greener! They have decided to launch an Earth Month clean project for April. They are asking customers to text message the phrase clean water to #30644. The numbers will be tallied and presented to the U.N who is also trying to help clean up pit water and help those with water scarcities all over the world.
They've also created an oh so amazing "Light the Way Candle," $10, which is made from soy wax and lavender oil. All of the proceeds from the candle will go to their partner in this clean air mission, The Global Greengrants Fund. It's really awesome that they are so proactive again this year considering last year, the candles made $500K!
In addition to the candle, there's also a lovely image by James Victore which will hang in Aveda boutiques. It contains a nature scene with an incredibly powerful tag line that reads, “Every 15 seconds, a child dies from lack of access to clean water.” Man, doesn't that just break your heart? As of April 1st you'll be able to do something about it, so c'mon people, take a break from blogging and go buy a candle! On that note, if you're a soy candle lover, stay tuned for more seductive and sensual soy candles next week!

Nude. Sand. Beige. Hummus. Color them what you want but sandy patent accessories are brilliant this Spring. It took me a while to warm up to them, but now I am loving this look. Especially worn with a tan, these are great when you want a slippery sleek accessory that isn't too bold. Patent is here to stay so if you're still on the fence, start with a neautral colored accessory. The best part? They go with everything - no color clashing here!
