White House Black Market Belted Poplin Shirt Dress
$150 at Whitehouseblackmarket.com
While much of my spring wardrobe revolves around athleisure and casual clothing, I like to have a couple of dressier options in my rotation for special dinners and events. This dress has a structured collar that gives it a polished look, and the front belt adds a special touch. It comes in both white and black and petite sizing.
Carhartt Force Ripstop Short
These sweat-wicking and fast-drying shorts will be my go-to pick for hikes and long walks in warmer weather. They are made from a UV-resistant material for added protection, and the waistband is elastic for ensured comfort. Plus, it has zipper pockets for more functionality.
Kay Lab-Grown Diamonds Open Flower Studs
I like to have a little variety in my jewelry, and these floral earrings are ideal for spring and summer styling. The sterling silver studs feature lab-grown, round-cut diamonds in the center of each earring, and the subtle flower design adds so much to an outfit with little effort. I’ll be wearing these to weddings and for everyday looks.
Talbots Washed Linen Wide Pull-On Pants
A linen pant is my go-to for staying cool while looking put together in hot weather, and this pair hits mid-rise and has wide legs for easy styling. The elastic waistband ensures comfort, and they’re machine-washable for easy maintenance.
Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer
The fastest way to make a space feel more personal is to frame photos of friends and family and display them throughout a home. Since taking the time to get photos printed is time-consuming, I’m using this mini printer that connects to my phone and can quickly print with no ink needed.
Jared Jewelers Italia D’Argento Stud Earrings
A statement earring can instantly pull an outfit together, and this pair is simple enough to wear with a variety of outfits. I love the boule shape for a more unique look, and they have friction backs for security. I’m snagging these while they’re on sale for 36 percent off.
Chico’s No-Iron Stretch Shirt
With a busy travel season ahead of me, the last thing I want to spend my time doing is ironing my clothes. That doesn’t mean I’m okay with wrinkled shirts, though. Instead, I’m stocking my closet with Chico’s No-Iron Stretch shirts made from wrinkle-resistant material. They are ready to wear right out of the dryer, and it comes in multiple colors for added variety.
OrthoFeet Cybill Sandal
I’m eying comfortable sandals that can be worn with anything, and this pair from OrthoFeet is just what I need. They have built-in arch support from the orthotic insole, and multiple layers of ergonomic cushioning that help absorb shocks and protect my joints and spine.
Personalization Mall Lavish Last Name Personalized Butcher Block

Whether I’m making a cheese board or prepping veggies, I find myself reaching for a butcher block daily. I love that this version can be personalized with an initial, last name, and one line of text. One shopper said they “couldn't be more impressed by the quality, weight, and craftsmanship” of the piece, and I know it will be a special touch to my kitchen.

This New Balance pair from KicksCrew comes in a neutral color palette and features a thick sole for support and comfort. I’m grabbing these to wear with dresses and skirts as well as with athleisure all season.
Lume Acidified Body Cream
After a winter of dry skin, I’m taking my spring skincare seriously with this rich body cream that hydrates, exfoliates, and smooths. I love that it’s unscented, so I can still layer perfume on top without it feeling overwhelming. One shopper said it makes their skin “feel smooth, soft, and healthy.”
Spoonflower Wallpaper in Vintage Wildflowers
My home is in need of a spring refresh, and the easiest way to do that (that’s also renter-friendly) is with peel-and-stick wallpaper. This wildflower pattern is subtle enough to complement my current decor while also making my space more visually interesting.
Staples JLab Flex Wireless Open Earbuds
Spending more time outdoors this spring means I need a way to listen to music on the go, and these wireless earbuds have an ergonomic design for comfortable wear and up to seven hours of playtime. This set has hundreds of five-star reviews, including one shopper who said they are “easy to use” and have “good sound.”
Victoria’s Secret Beachwear Shimmer Knit Long-Sleeve Mini Dress

This knit, long-sleeve mini dress is a great pick for wearing from the beach to brunch, with a keyhole cut-out and flare sleeves for added style. I’m adding this to my wardrobe for flexible wear as the temperatures rise.
