I'm From NYC, and These Are the Items I Want to Buy From H&M, Topshop, and ASOS
I may be a month or two late to the party, but I'm finally getting around to spring-cleaning my wardrobe. (In my defense, New York's winter hung around for far too long this year. I don't think I've ever felt more hostility toward a puffer coat in my life.) Luckily, summer's official start date is right around the corner marking the arrival of a whole new shopping season.
From strappy sandals to linen co-ords and billowy dresses, buying into this spring and summer's best trends is at the top of my list. With a wish list this ambitious, where better to hit up than my favorite trend-driven shops? H&M, Topshop, and ASOS are all fail-safes for finding Instagram-friendly digs without worrying about going too broke. Seriously, my head-to-toe look above, pistachio knit sweater included, is all courtesy of H&M.
Since you likely currently have bigger fish to fry, I'm cutting down your own pre-season shopping time in half by sharing a list of all my favorite finds thus far. The idea of summer has never looked so good.
H&M
A polished beaded handbag that fits in with your wedding guest look just as well as it does paired with a midi dress and some sneakers.
My summer 2019 resolution is to stop thinking about my tan lines and start embracing the myriad of cool swimsuit trends.
I'm all about this year's growing sporty sandal trend.
Bandwaggoning onto this year's pale yellow trend, ASAP.

Ray Lowe is a contributing editor for Who What Wear. She's spent the last decade living in New York, but now that she professionally works from home, she's slowly been going back to her roots by splitting time between NYC and L.A. A year ago, she left a four-year stint as a fashion editor for Refinery29 to explore the freelance life. Nowadays, she does just about everything from penning online articles (for Who What Wear, Refinery29, Elle, Cosmo, and many more) to writing scripts, styling, and finding ways to fuse her love for both Disney and fashion. Her main beat is fashion (trends, emerging brands, affordable finds, you name it), but you may find her dropping in with a beauty story every now and then. As for her personal style, she'd best describe it as a balanced blend of basics and contemporary trends, often with a dash of Mickey Mouse thrown in for good measure. In her spare time, she can be found coddling my pets (a French bulldog and a rescue cat), curating travel itineraries for her friends, scrolling through Instagram for up-and-coming brands, and watching so-bad-they're-good films.
