Last night we grilled steaks and veggies, poured rosé into my favorite glasses, and left the doors open until well after sunset. There’s something about early spring that makes everything feel lighter—swapping heavy layers for a crisp white tee, spotting genuinely good strawberries at the store again, or catching that first warm breeze that carries the promise of longer days ahead.
March is less about reinvention and more about receiving nourishing routines and good energy. This month’s Editor’s Picks are inspired by that shift: pieces that feel fresh but unfussy, wellness staples that support a lighter rhythm, and home finds that help us transition from cozy to airy without skipping a beat. Consider this your gentle edit for stepping into the new season—simple upgrades that make everyday life feel bright, open, and just a little more alive.
In Our Closets
My Lightweight Uniform for Warm Days
There’s something about a lightweight button-down and an easy short that feels like summer. I love the delicate embroidery on this shirt—it adds that thoughtful detail I’m always drawn to—while the relaxed silhouette of the shorts keeps everything feeling breathable and unfussy. It’s the kind of set I’d wear on a hot afternoon by the beach, thrown over a swimsuit, or dressed up slightly for dinner with sandals and sun-kissed skin. Effortless, airy, and polished in that understated way that makes getting dressed feel simple again. – Camille Styles, Editor in Chief
The Brand That Anchors My Entire Wardrobe
Rumored has quickly become the foundation of my closet—the pieces I build outfits around, season after season. Their silhouettes strike that rare balance between timeless and slightly undone, which means I reach for them constantly. This spring, I’m leaning into the Newport Cardigan in Ivory—soft, structured, and the perfect layer over everything from denim to slip dresses. The Portofino Maxi Dress is already earmarked for the weddings on my 2026 calendar—it has that effortless, European-summer energy that feels special without trying too hard. And the Silhouette Mini Skirt? A reminder that every timeless wardrobe needs a little play. Polka dots are forever, and this one feels polished enough to carry year-round. – Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist
The Shoe That Keeps Me Moving
I’ve been building up my daily steps and adding short runs, and the HOKA Bondi 9 makes it feel easy. They’re so cushy it feels like walking on clouds, but still supportive and stable. Plus, Free People has a new colorway called Lilac Cream/Tangerine that’s so cute. – Tatom Hoffmann, Marketing Intern
Earrings That Instantly Make Me Feel More Put-Together
These are the kind of earrings that make everything else feel finished. Simple and timeless, they add a little polish to even the most effortless look. I’ve been reaching for them daily—they’re understated, easy, and the perfect example of how a small detail can elevate the everyday. – Camille Styles, Editor in Chief
In Our Homes
The Bedding Swap That Softens A Room
I’ve always believed that bedding sets the emotional tone of a bedroom—it’s the first thing you see and the last thing you touch each day. Quince’s Organic Airy Gauze Duvet Cover Set delivers that effortless, lived-in softness I’m constantly chasing. The cotton gauze has a breathable, lightly crinkled texture that feels relaxed but refined, and the Fig shade adds depth without overpowering the room (it’s warm, grounding, and just unexpected enough). As the seasons shift, I’ve been craving lighter layers that still feel cozy—and this strikes that balance beautifully. It makes my whole space feel calmer, softer, and more considered. – Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist
My Easiest Home Upgrade Yet
I just swapped my bedroom rug for this one from Ruggable, and it completely changed the feel of the space—like spring moved in overnight. It’s soft, fresh, and somehow makes everything look lighter and calmer, which I didn’t realize I needed so badly. Also, the fact that I can literally throw it in the wash gives me so much peace of mind… I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a regular rug again. – Anna Decker, Social Media and E-Commerce Manager
In Our Kitchens
The Shortcut to a Fresh Kitchen
I didn’t expect to have strong feelings about a kitchen cleaner, but here we are. This one smells fresh and citrusy in the most natural way—bright lemon myrtle with a hint of mandarin—so wiping down the counters feels less like a chore and more like a reset. – Camille Styles, Editor in Chief
Bread-Dipping Made Better
I bought this mini olive oil set as a gift for my husband, and it’s been such a treat! The quality of the oil is so much nicer than what you get at the grocery store, and we’ve been enjoying it with homemade bread. This sampler includes two regular olive oils and lemon and garlic-infused oils as well! – Kristen Garaffo, Design Editor
In Our Bathrooms
A One-Product Hair Routine
I’m leaning into hair that feels a little more undone this spring, and this mousse has been my shortcut. It gives soft shape and definition without crunch or stiffness, so I can let my hair air-dry and still feel polished enough to walk out the door. The result is that easy, relaxed texture that feels in step with the season—less effort, more movement, and a little more freedom in my everyday routine. – Camille Styles, Editor in Chief
Morning Glow Essentials
I’m committed to looking perpetually glowy right now. Not sweaty, not shimmery—just healthy, lit-from-within skin. Solsoller’s Skinlit Bellini Glazing Milk is the base of that. It’s this soothing, milky layer that supports your barrier (niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C—the good stuff) and leaves your skin hydrated but never heavy. I keep mine in the fridge and press it in cold, which feels borderline life-changing in the morning.
Then I swipe the Lueur Dorée Luminous Sculptor along my cheekbones and temples. It melts in seamlessly without any glitter or streaks. Some days it’s literally SPF + this, and I’m done. If you’re in your glow era too, you need both.
Moisture That Holds Up All Day
I was gifted the Kate McLeod lotion bar for Christmas, and it’s truly been the gift that keeps on giving. I use it daily (sometimes morning and night), and it SAVES my dry Colorado skin. It glides on like silk and is sustainable, too! You just refill your stone when it runs out. – Edie Horstman, Wellness Editor
My Affordable Skincare Secret
I think that Versed must be the perfect skincare line. It wasn’t until I picked up their new Pore-Clearing Serum, in need of a gentle exfoliator for my early 40s-yet-still-prone-to-breakouts skin, that it clicked—I’ve never picked up a Versed product that didn’t have a noticeable difference in my skin. They fly under the radar but have remained consistent in both affordability and quality for years. I’ve been using the serum for about a month, and my skin is clearer and smoother, and I love how makeup no longer “sits on top” of my skin. – Brittany Chatburn, Marketing Director
A Scent That Makes Me Do a Double Take
I have to admit it: As much as I love woody, earthy scents in my home, I am drawn to gourmand perfumes. For years, I’ve spritzed almost every vanilla-scented fragrance I could find. Unfortunately, most are cloying and sickly sweet. But not this one. As a fragrance mist, it’s light and airy—making it just as perfect for casual errand runs or dinner with friends. I sometimes catch the scent of it in my hair and almost turn, thinking, what is that amazing smell? – Langa Chinyoka, Beauty Editor
My Always-in-the-Bag Hand Cream
I keep a hand cream with me at all times. This one is an instant favorite. Made with Manuka honey for deep hydration, it’s rich without being greasy. Flamingo Estate is the epitome of luxury that doesn’t have to announce itself. It just works, and it works well. – Langa Chinyoka, Beauty Editor
Wake Up Like You Went on Vacation
I feel like we’re in that awkward stage of the year where we’re still in the thick of winter, but starting to hyper-fixate on summer. Saltyface Tanning Water—specifically the Face Set in Light to Medium—has been single-handedly fighting off the winter uglies while giving me hope for the sun-kissed days to come. I use this about twice a week as the final step in my skincare routine and wake up looking like I just got back from vacation. – Bridget Chambers, Fashion Editor
In Our Routines
The Supplement Brand I Keep Reaching For
I’ve always been a supplement person—my cabinet is curated with the same intention as my skincare shelf—and Lemme quickly became one of the brands I genuinely trust. I’ve recently been rotating between the Lemme Multi Women’s Daily Gummies and the Lemme Grow Hair Growth Soft Chews. The multi covers the essentials—vitamin D, B12, folate, and other foundational nutrients that support energy and overall balance—while the hair chews focus on biotin and targeted ingredients that support stronger, healthier strands. (Especially after a winter of dry air and tight buns.) – Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist
