    Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about. 

    We are in that final winter stretch when the cold weather starts to grow more irritable each day, and the only thing that can guide me through this limbo is the thought of spring. Envision this: fresh flowers, bluer skies, Sunday brunch (and a little bit of gossip) with the girls, and of course, a new outfit rotation. So in an attempt to expedite the seasonal shift, I've decided to lock myself away in my apartment until spring starts to reveal its beautiful self. (Seems logical, right?) In the meantime, I'll be busy compiling a list of my most coveted fashion and beauty buys for the impending season. Needless to say, spring brings out my flirty side, so expect to see romantic embroidered garments, playful pops of color, and floral-scented beauty products below. Here are the 30 items that have me swooning.

    Arket Relaxed Poplin Shirt
    $79 AT ARKET

    The creme colorway of this poplin shirt is just stunning and has a subtle vintage flair. This top will be a foundational piece in my spring 2024 wardrobe.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Madewell Low-Rise Superwide-Leg Jeans
    $118 AT MADEWELL

    Though low-rise jeans will forever be a controversial trend, I find them supremely comfortable compared to most denim styles. The relaxed silhouette of this pair by Madewell looks effortless when styled with any top and accessories.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Veronica Beard Cecile Flats
    $375 AT SHOPBOP

    If you haven't already invested in ballet pumps, I highly recommend doing so for spring. The bow detailing and trim feel extra chic.

    Veneda Carter Gold VC037 Small Closed Hoop Earrings
    $180 AT SSENSE

    I've been searching high and low for the perfect pair of gold textured hoops, and this pair by Veneda Carter grabbed my attention easily.

    Posse Mylah Mini Dress
    $285 AT POSSE

    Smock dresses remain a spring wardrobe necessity, and I'm eager to add one to my outfit rotation. Posse's Mylah Mini Dress checks all the boxes: intricate embroidery, scalloped trim, and lace detailing.

    Madewell The Essential Bucket Tote
    $178 AT MADEWELL

    Light-toned suede accessories are very appropriate for spring, and the texture gives any ensemble a little more depth. This bucket tote is practical enough for running daily errands and makes a chic statement for your next garden party or picnic.

    Aligne Monika Square Neck Longline Waistcoat
    $165 AT ALIGNE

    The square neckline on this waistcoat is a contemporary twist on a classic wardrobe staple. I can't wait to style this with trousers, jeans, or a column maxi skirt for the office.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Banana Republic Siena Wide-Leg Italian Wool Pant
    $150 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    Banana Republic has become my go-to destination for trousers. Its size-inclusive selection is a lifesaver (especially for my petite frame), and the high quality and fair price point are unmatched.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Sam Edelman Michaela Mary Jane Flat
    $130 AT NORDSTROM

    I've been hesitant to purchase a pair of white flats out of fear that I'll ruin them, but my spring outfits won't look as put-together without this finishing touch, so I've decided to commit to the look. This pair by Sam Edelman is just what I've been looking for.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia Eau de Parfum Spray

    If romance could be bottled, this is what it would smell like. The floral notes of magnolia, gardenia, and water lotus are fresh and alluring.

    Aligne Harmony Halterneck Wide Leg Jumpsuit
    $205 AT ALIGNE

    The brown gingham pattern has a warm and refreshing effect that, when combined with the halterneck and wide-leg silhouette, is truly eye-catching.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Textale Panda Relaxed Fit 3-Pack
    WAS $120, NOW $84 AT TEXTALE

    Maybe it's because I grew up with two older brothers, but I've always preferred men's T-shirts for their oversized, breathable, and relaxed fit. Here's where I'd recommend stocking up on this essential wardrobe item.

    spring fashion and beauty finds

    Kotn Nile Rib Pant in Storm
    $78 AT KOTN

    These knit pants are the definition of stylish comfort. Though they come in a range of colors, mauve is my favorite, and it will be a fun addition to my closet.

    PS: They also make the perfect travel pants.

    $495 AT A.L.C.

    I love the way this structured denim jacket by A.L.C. is shaped like a sleek blazer.
