Trench season is officially here, and if you’re after vintage Burberry, Front General in Dumbo remains the best source in the city. This option from Totême is very good. I keep circling back to this Massimo Dutti trench, which I am very tempted to buy.
I’ve been carrying the Baby Garden basket from my friend Brooke’s line, Kinderbrook Home. A rattan basket feels seasonless to me, but if you’re making one addition to your spring wardrobe, make it this.
The Reformation Clara cashmere cardigan is the perfect weight for this transitional season. The quality exceeded my expectations. I have it in both black and cocoa, and they’ve been on heavy rotation since I bought them in January.
The Khaite Morsson suede jacket is hands down my favorite addition to my wardrobe this year. Its desert tone feels especially right this time of year. There’s limited sizing left in my jacket, but Dunst, Cos and Massimo Dutti offer jackets in that same desert tone.
Red’s been catching my eye lately, and The Row’s Vika sandals feel like a smart indulgence. Manolo’s strappy classics always deliver. The red Callamu is perfect for spring, and Toteme’s take on the heeled flip-flop makes an equally strong case for red.
I discovered Laoli through Mariana (Merci, C’est Vintage) and Amah (Found By The), who curate standout vintage pop-ups with emerging brands. Laoli’s pieces feel like modern relics in a market crowded by repetition. The Citrine Drop collar, Tahitian Pearl Puka, and the Citrine Heishi collar are at the top of my wish-list.
Leset’s Spring/Summer iteration of my favorite knit dress does not disappoint. I have both black and brown (size small) and would recommend sizing up, as this version runs a bit shorter than the long-sleeve.
And while we’re here, a few beauty items worth mentioning this month.
St. Rose is a clean fragrance brand with a refined aesthetic and scents that feel warm, intimate and luxurious. L’été 67 has me dreaming of a mediterranean summer and I cannot wait to try Gypsy Cowboy next. Every fragrance feels thoughtfully composed.
Everything Katherine Power touches tends to land, and Merit’s new lipliner is no exception. I’ve been using both Beverly Hills and Bespoke on repeat.
I had a traumatic run-in with self-tanner in middle school and avoided it until I tried Salty Face last spring. It feels idiot-proof — builds gradually, doesn’t transfer, and barely smells. Highly recommend as the weather warms up.
