I have to admit, I'm quite lucky — I shop for a living. As an editor, I'm always searching for the coolest products readers should know about. As we transition from Winter to Spring, I'm loving pastel blazers, printed dresses, kitten heels, and cat-eye sunglasses. But fashion isn't the only thing I shop for — beauty releases and home decor are also on my radar. If you have ever been curious about what shopping editors are buying for themselves, I'll let you see for yourself. I curated a roundup of the buzziest must haves I'm loving this week. Warning: a desire to spend lots of money may immediately kick in.

Ever since I saw Gigi Hadid wearing shades like these Genuine People Cat Eye Sunglasses ($35), I knew I needed a pair for myself. The retro look is fun and flattering, plus the red frames pop.
