Call it a gift from mother nature or global warming, but we’re preparing for weekend number two full of copious amounts of sunshine in the Bay Area. To celebrate, we’re lining up some serious Saturday and Sunday plans {think the tasting menu brunch at Sunnyside Cafe, a day trip to the Lake Tahoe area and baking four dozen cupcakes big}. And to prepare for our all out fun-tastic extravaganza, we’ve done a little retail therapy here at Oxford Hall to put together an awesome weekend crash kit. Yes, we shop in our own store – so sue us.

Wishing you a wonderful end to your week – wherever it may take you.

1. LaNatura Lip Balm: Seriously folks, we never leave home without a lipgloss or chapstick handy {not to mention two to three back ups}. These colorful offerings from LaNatura pack a serious moisture punch with their organically-grown shea butter base and they’re finished with one of a few fruity flavors. What’s not to love? Our favorite is the CocoVanilla, but for those with sensitive noses the Vitamin E and Aloe version is scent free. {Tangerine, CocoVanilla, Strawberry, Vitamin E and Green Apple available in Oxford Hall now; $9/ea.}

2. For the lady that carries a lip gloss, a back up lip gloss and a back up, back up lip gloss – meet Stephanie Johnson and her slew of cute mini-carryalls that will conceal even the most serious of chapstick addictions. This sweet, pastel-colored flat pouch is from her new Spring 2012 line. We fell in love with the tweedy texture that still feels refined with the addition of the gold brushing. {See this bag and more from Stephanie Johnson’s new line in store now; from $32}

3. Admittedly, we’re having a star moment here at Viv&Ingrid. These little jet-puffed versions from our Pretty Post line  are an oldie but a goody and have been among some of our favorites lately. They’re simple yet chic and feel fresh for Spring. We throw them on and forget we’re wearing them – which is perfect since they go with just about everything in our closet. {In Oxford Hall or online; from $48}
