In our world, April showers us with plenty of reasons to go shopping. We're gearing up for Coachella, Spring getaways, and swapping out the remains of our Winter wardrobes with unmistakably seasonal finds. If ever you needed an excuse to shop, now is the time to pick up fresh trends, new kicks, and a carryall — or two — for toting your essentials to the festival grounds (or to the office). Read on for the 22 finds our editors currently have waiting in their virtual carts.
"Gingham is a perennial favorite of mine — fortunately Spring '17 put a spotlight on this playful print. I'm planning to wear it daily on this slightly flirty (but totally practical) Zara skirt ($40) that goes to the office, out, and even to Coachella." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion
"I promise, there are only more exciting travel essentials to come from Neely & Chloe, but the No. 21 Weekender ($298) with contrast pebble detail is the type of pack you need to pick up for all the two-day adventures you're about to embark on this season." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
"I've never been a fan of the officewear staple the striped button-down, but this yellow Cinthia Stripe Shirt ($74) from Storets has completely changed my mind. I love the deconstructed silhouette that gives the button-down more street cred." — Nikita Ramsinghani, assistant editor, Fashion
"If you think earrings like these Oscar de la Renta embellished tassel clip-ons ($399) are for special occasions, you're missing the point. Statement earrings are here to dress up everything — and I fully intend to wear these with just a white tee and jeans." — HWM
"Aside from wanting to buy everything from Lily Ashwell's new bridal line (and I'm not even getting married!), it has this vintage slip dress ($285) I love. Perhaps it would work as a guest wedding dress? I can almost feel its silkiness on my skin." — Marina Liao, assistant editor, Fashion
"If you're looking for your first pair of slides, I'd suggest checking out these furry leopard ones from Freda Salvador ($315). They're intense yet wearable, and I know they'll give my outfits a style boost." — ML
"Ever since the new Prada bowling bag ($2,160) hit the Spring 2017 runway, I knew I had to have it in the red and blue colorway. The look is a little more elevated than Americana but undeniably playful for a very chic bag." — SW
"My upcoming getaway to Punta Cana calls for a romantic sheer dress to wear over my swimsuits on the beach, but I like that Lisa Marie Fernandez's Off-the-Shoulder Cotton Dress ($695) offers enough coverage to wear with a bodysuit for dinner, too." — SW
"I've been meaning to try a neck scarf for some time now. I first saw this ADAY The Statement Scarf ($60) around International Women's Day and immediately knew I had to get the 'Dreamer' one. The brand actually teamed up with textile and swimwear designer Lisa King for these limited-edition scarves." — NR
"Millennial pink (and pink in general) is popping up in every retailer for Spring, which is why I love these pale rosy trousers from Milly ($395). It's still cool enough to wear these with a light sweater, but come Summer I will go with a crop top." — ML
"Rebecca Minkoff's floral appliqué bag strap ($95) is equal parts girlie and rock 'n' roll, and it'd make the perfect addition to the simple black satchel I wear with the majority of my wardrobe." — SW
"Madewell's trench ($138) comes with side slits and in a superlight cotton that's wear-anywhere, all-occasion approved. The perfect Spring jacket, if you will." — HWM
"The truth is, Brooks is my go-to shoe company for running sneakers. But with a recent foot injury, I'm doing far less running and more walking these days. I love the sporty appeal of the brand's Vanguard Heritage trainer ($75) that I can easily see paired with high-waisted denim and a lived-in vintage tee." — SW
"Most girls would rave over newly launched label Amur for the fabulous ruffled dresses and wedding guest jumpsuits, but I'm not overlooking the fantastical Koi Earrings ($498), which are a clear call-out to my love for all things oceanic." — SW
"I'm downsizing my bag game for Spring with Simon Miller's Bonsai bucket bag ($390). Functional and statement-making all at once — could you want anything more in a handbag?" — HWM
"I'm not ready for Spring till I have a great dress for wedding season. Thankfully, this Self-Portrait striped poplin dress ($545) should take me through a few rehearsal dinners, showers, and weddings already on the calendar — and then some." — HWM
"I'm test-driving the corset trend with Aritzia's Audra corset ($50). Pro tip: pretend it's just another belt and start wearing it with everything — you won't be able to stop." — HWM
"With the weather changing, I, for one, can't wait to get out of my trusty leather ankle boots and into something a little more breathable. These gray Nicholas Kirkwood Beya Mules ($425) make for the perfect Spring footwear with their pointed toes and a pebbled leather texture." — NR
"I'm always looking for ways to update my denim rotation. I have my eyes set on these 3x1 Freja Crop Bell Jeans ($365) that have fun cutout details and frayed bottoms." — NR
"I am headed to Coachella in a few weeks and need a cute bag to hold all my essentials. Through my search, I found this whimsical option from Zara ($50) that looks like it would do the trick. How can you not love the pineapple print?" — ML
"Will I ever stop wearing jumpsuits? Probably not, because I want this floral jumpsuit with a culotte cut ($139) in my closet. Made in Barcelona, Spain, the one-piece not only looks super flattering but also screams Spring." — ML
"With my trip to California right around the corner, I've been looking for a cute beach bag that fits everything I need and more. This Eugenia Kim Carlotta bag ($475) has 'rebel' hand-embroidered in black sequin on the front and features black wood handles." — NR
"The print on the Roller Rabbit Slate Beach Shrug ($95) really caught my attention. I've been meaning to get a cover-up to wear with my swimsuit for when I hang out at the beach, and I can't wait to pair this one with a big floppy hat." — Sarah Siegel, editorial assistant, Shopping and Products
