It's March 15, which means it's time for my quarterly closet swap. If you're lucky enough to live in anything besides a studio apartment, you may not be familiar with this seasonal task. Essentially, it involves replacing the sweaters, wool pants, and puffer jackets in my tiny closet with the silky camisoles, slip dresses, and flouncy blouses currently residing in storage containers under my bed. In a way, it's like getting a new closet four times a year, but some pieces don't always survive this swap. I would never recommend ditching your entire wardrobe and starting from scratch, but there's nothing wrong with purchasing a few new items to jazz up what you already own. This year, there are five brands on my radar: Luisaviaroma, Steve Madden, Coach Outlet, NA-KD, and Michael Kors. From big color trends to buzzy silhouettes, these brands offer the coolest finds for the season.
Luisaviaroma is quickly becoming one of my favorite retailers. This Italian brand started as a hat shop in Florence and has since evolved into a luxury retailer that carries every covetable brand (homeware included). Looking for a sold-out Khaite belt? LVR has it. Want to score discounted last-season designer? LVR has the best deals. I want to gatekeep this retailer, but I love you all too much not to share. Here's what I'd like to buy for spring.
Two of the four pairs of shoes I've bought in the last few months have been from Steve Madden. When it comes to style, comfort, and price point, it's got many brands beat. If you're looking to buy trending footwear this spring, I'd start with the six styles below. Jelly sandals are back from their winter hiatus, loafers are a mainstay, and boat shoes are not just for the finance bros anymore. Here are my top picks from Steve Madden for this season.
If you haven't taken a scroll through Coach Outlet lately, what are you doing? It is a treasure trove of discounted bags and accessories that are as buzzy as ever. From trending fabrics (like denim) to spring colorways (like burgundy), the options are endless, and I need help narrowing down my selects. No matter which bag I choose, I know it'll be adorned with one of these adorable bag charms.
NA-KD is the brand I turn to when I want to see what the trendiest people are buying. This spring, it's all about NA-KD's collaboration with Larissa Mills. This collection reflects Mills' signature style with its cool tailoring and color stories. These butter-yellow and kelly-green pieces couldn't have launched at a better time. I don't know about you, but the Jacquard Jacket is calling my name.
If you want to talk classic spring wardrobe staples, Michael Kors is that girl. This spring collection is stacked with pretty pastels, floral lace fabrics, and accessories to match. Here's my styling tip: Order the sweater one size up and pair it with the miniskirt. All you need are cute ballet flats and a shoulder bag and you're ready for any spring day.
