If you’re in the mood to do a little shopping, you’ve landed in the right spot. Yes, it’s your shopping director here with an edit of some of my favorite things from some of my favorite retailers. I’m specifically referring to Zara, J.Crew, Nordstrom, and COS. Each store consistently stocks items that just work for a wardrobe, like elevated basics, trendy staples, and versatile accessories.
Keep scrolling to shop must-haves to add to your early spring wardrobe. You’ll notice staples like beautiful lightweight knits (like the cardigan J.Crew's creative director and head of design, Olympia Gayot, is wearing above), suede bags, cool tailoring, sharp jackets, and forward shoe silhouettes.
