Spring–a season that brings life and new energy. The sun becomes less of a stranger and de-thaws the bitterness of winter while simultaneously bringing life back to nature: the flowers begin to bloom, the birds begin to chirp, and the feeling of the dreary cold winter begins to melt away. But there is something about this energy that creates newness within me too. I find myself welcoming in a new season by de-cluttering/deep cleaning, getting projects down around the house, and purchasing meaningful items that ignite a freshness within myself. I recently purchased a few new items that I have been absolutely loving and decided to share some of must-haves for this Spring season!
My 6 Spring Essentials:
New Fragrance
Nothing screams, ‘Hello Spring’ like a new floral scent. My Go-To’s have always been Gucci Bloom or Gucci Flora (Gorgeous Gardenia), but I was really wanting to try out a new scent for the season. I heard really good things about Gucci Flora (Gorgeous Orchid) so, I took a risk and purchased it. I am so glad I did because I am obsessed! It’s notes are vanilla, orchid, and ozonic accord–it’s a really light-subtle but still floral and girly.
Cowgirl Necklace
I leave for Nashville here soon and nothing says ‘cowgirl’ like this boot necklace from James Michelle. I wanted to gate-keep this designers jewelry for the longest time because I own so many of her pieces and I wanted to remain original, but since the designer is originally from Oregon and now resides in San Diego (the two places I call home) I want to share and support her business as much as possible! Her jewelry is very Coastal/Boho inspired and it’s definitely my vibe!
Yellow Pieces
I am in love with the new limited-edition LEMONADE drop from Aritzia. This soft-tone butter yellow makes me think of a happy sun-shining day. I can’t get enough of it. I have been killing it with my workouts the last three months, so I decided to treat myself to a new workout set including: the sports bra, leggings, and 5″ shorts.
I wanted to be able to rock this lovely yellow outside of the gym as well, so I also grabbed this gorgeous satin & lace top with the matching skirt and I can’t wait to wear it out! It feels so luxe and feminine!
Berry Bowls
The Spring and Summer months = more berries. I love blackberries and strawberries and all the fruits that come when the weather gets nice. Whenever I pick up fruit, whether it’s from a local fruit stand or from the grocery store, I can’t wait to get it home, out of the yucky packaging, and washed. I picked up this aesthetically pleasing nesting berry bowl set from Amazon. It perfectly holds fruits, veggies, garlic, etc. I love the creamy, neutral, and organic look! It is functional and beautiful on any kitchen countertops!
Lippy Combo
This warm, rose nude Makeup Forever Lip Liner in the color, Wherever Walnut, has been a staple in my makeup collection, but I recently picked up this Refy Lip Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid in the color Rosewood–it’s a medium, warm pink hydrating gloss and it looks perfect over the Makeup Forever lip liner for everyday wear!
Amika Flash Instant Hair Mask
I love this Amika shine hair mask–it instantly makes your hair shiny and silky smooth. It’s so easy to apply in the shower and you only have to keep it in for 5 minutes. It feels like getting a keratin hair salon treatment, but for a fraction of the cost! I mean we are still a few months away from Leo Season, but I wouldn’t be doing my Leo self justice if I didn’t have a nice, shiny, and full Lion mane, would I?
That’s a wrap! These are my top favorites for this Spring! I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do or at least find some inspiration in purchasing something to call in the new season.
And here’s to brighter, warmer, and sunnier days ahead! ☀️ Happy Spring! 🌷
