The DuJour 5×5: Spring Awakening

Each week for The DuJour 5×5, we ask five editors five questions on a different topic. This week’s installment centers on all things spring: the warm weather activity we’re looking forward to most, our spring-centric uniform and the beauty trend we can’t wait to try this season.

1. Now that winter is officially over, I can’t wait to wear white sneakers[1].
2. A beauty trend I’m looking forward to trying out this season: I am dusting off my flat iron. The ’90s are back[2]. #LongHairDontCare
3. My “uniform” for the impending warmer weather will most likely consist of: No pants.
4. I still haven’t found the perfect ugly flat shoe[3] for Spring.
5. The TV show I’m most excited about returning in the coming months: Orange Is the New Black. Just when I thought hibernating was over.

1. Now that winter is officially over, I can’t wait to spend some time by the ocean. I already bought a new bathing suit to jump start beach-body motivation.
2. A beauty trend or product I’m looking forward to trying out this season: Figuring out the difference between BB cream and CC cream.
3. My “uniform” for the impending warmer weather will most likely consist of: As little as I can possibly get away with. My skin is seriously lacking Vitamin D!
4. I still haven’t found the perfect not-black jacket for Spring.
5. The album I’m most excited about hearing in the coming months: Lily Allen’s upcoming Sheezus[4] is sure to be entertaining to say the least—I love that the title pokes fun at Kanye West and can’t wait to see what controversy she starts next.

1. Now that winter is officially over, I can’t wait to explore new rooftop happy hours and watch ’90s movies in parks.
2. A beauty trend or product I’m looking forward to trying out this season: Hot pink is my power color, so I’m happy that bright pink[5] and coral lips are in this spring. I’m especially excited to try out the Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick in Soaked[6].
3. My “uniform” for the impending warmer weather will most likely consist of: High-waisted skirts and floaty fabrics with subtle gold jewelry.
4. I still haven’t found the perfect lightweight nude trench coat for Spring.
5. The book I’m most excited about reading in the coming months: George Saunders’ new book of short stories, Tenth of December[7], and these past winter months have been barren without a weekly dose of Mindy Kaling’s peevish charm, so I’m delighted The Mindy Project[8] will be returning next month.
