ROSE CLAY FOR SPRING
Stelle offers essentials, dancewear, activewear, and athleisure for women and young girls—and I’m newly infatuated. I’m there for the casualwear, like these swoony under-$40 rose clay hued clogs, which are so lovely for spring. The brand’s Raglan Sleeve Crewneck Sweatshirt is also a stealthy triumph with its slightly boxy yet tailored fit and extra wide waist hem detailing. Whether you’re looking to twin with your little or stock up on elevated basics, Stelle quality far exceeds its modest price point. Info: stelleworld.com

PLANT YOUR PENCIL
One of the coolest and most fanciful gifts you’ll find this year, say hello to SproutWorld™ pencils. When the pencil gets down to that last unusable “nub,” just plant it and soon harvest herbs, flowers or vegetables. It’s a wonderful gift, in general, but I’m think June is just around the corner and this is perfect for teacher thank-you bags. Choose from themes like herbs or bee-favorite flowers—or better yet: customize. Info: sproutworld.com

LAWYER NANTUCKET’S CALLING NOSE
Cartolina’s spring collection includes the Johanna Dress—perfectly timed with the recent release of the FX limited series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette. This coastal look has the minimalist elegance Bessette was known for, and it’s a timeless piece that’ll anchor your warm weather season. Want more? Take a peek at the Bobbi dress, released in March.

FLUFFY AND FABULOUS
Does your calendar look like mine—with endless color-coding and chaos? Here’s my spring mantra: leave some wiggle room for whimsy. It’s a simple way to infuse your day—and spring, in general—with lightheartedness. These Dearfoams bunny slippers are as cozy as they are cute—perfect for everyday joy or Easter Basket inclusions. They boast an iridescent pink bunny nose and a practical, grippy sole. Info: www.dearfoams.com

EARTH DAY, EVERY DAY
As Mother Nature starts to delight us with flowers, butterflies, and verdant parks, let’s take a moment to upgrade some of our home goods, like toilet paper and trash bags. Who Gives A Crap, is an eco-friendly toilet paper brand that donates 50% of profits to help build toilets around the world, and the brand’s recycled (or bamboo) TP is pretty enough to display. You can make a single purchase or order in bulk, which reduces the carbon footprint.

PERFECT EASTER POUR
Every now and again, I like to feature what I call a dinner party wine—one that I’d purchase by the case for dinners, brunches, and larger soirees. My Easter 2026 recommendation is the Subterra 2024 California Chardonnay. This under-$20 gem is widely considered a “90 points” contender, punching well above its weight class with its brisk lemon zest, subtle orchard fruit, and bright finish. Info: www.gehrickewines.com

BRIGHTEN THE TABLESCAPE
A stunning tablescape doesn’t have to be complicated. A row of simple bud vases with spring blooms, pastel cutlery, and little tufts of moss dabbled with colorful chocolate mini eggs—voila! ANNOVA’s cheery inventory includes cutlery cuteness—from pastels to polka dots and beyond. Choose from singular color sets or vibrant sets with assorted hues. When Easter’s over, stash them away for summery alfresco feasts.

BRUNCH AND BEYOND
A tuxedo stripe is typically all it takes to get my attention, and La Peony Clothing’s Oaxaca Lounge Pant is no exception. If you’re looking for chic, versatile spring pants, look no further. I love the wide-loop weave detailing within the stripe; it adds texture and interest without distracting from the natural ease of the wide leg silhouette. Made with a blend of modal, cotton and spandex, you can expect stellar comfort while you linger at brunch or meander the farmer’s market. Info: lapeony.com

PEACH PERFECT
This easy-to-fling over your shoulder handbag from Leatherology There’s plenty of adorable matching sets at Petit Lem, but this peach print is the perfect poplin PJ elixir after a wild winter. Dads can also get in on the fun with reliable standards like navy blue or fun citrus prints. The brand also just released one of the cutest strawberry designs—just in time for local berry picking season. Info: petitlem.com

SEASONAL SWEETS
I still remember the first time I had a treat from See’s Candies—heavenly. I’m partial to the toffee, but brand’s spring collection has oodles of irresistible seasonal treats. Stock up on chocolate bunnies, sour bunnies, marshmallow eggs, and scrumptious caramel eggs. Purchase a pre-filled basket or customize a box with goodies of your choosing. The chocolates are always hand decorated and make the perfect hostess gift.

BYE WINTER, HELLO BOHO
I adore my classic Birks, but I’m so head-over-heels for clogs this season that I’m branching out to add more pizazz to my collection. This boho chic look from Bear Paw’s spring collection caught me by surprise with its unique stitching and micro-bead pattern. Pair them with a maxi or wide leg pants for an on trend look with a bit of personality.

SANS REFINED SUGAR
When you need a break from all the jellybeans and chocolate bunnies, but still need a little pick-me-up, reach for Pop & Bottle’s oat lattes. The dairy-free, refined sugar-free cold brew lattes use organic dates for sweetness, and each variety offers a different functional boost like collagen, antioxidants, or adaptogens. I love them as a mid-day pickup, but the packaging is lovely enough to mix into a drink display at any spring party.
