Zara Limited Edition Fringed Structured Skirt

"Zara has really been stepping up their game lately, especially with their limited-run collections that feel more like runway pieces than high-street finds. This skirt is the perfect example — the texture of the cotton blend yarn and that specific ruffle detail with the fringing gives it so much movement and dimension. It has that sophisticated, pink pattern that makes the color feel all grown-up. I already know it’s going to be one of those pieces I keep in my closet for years and years to come. Considering the cost per wear at $169, it’s a total steal. Stalking Zara’s new arrivals has become a non-negotiable part of my week." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Shopping Partnerships 

Zara LIMITED EDITION FRINGED STRUCTURED SKIRT, $, available at ZaraDôen Iona lace-trimmed silk-satin shorts

"Honestly, this is easily my favorite purchase of the year so far because it perfectly nails that high-low balance I’m always chasing. It’s rare to find a piece that feels this luxurious and editorial but can be styled down for a coffee run without looking like you’re doing too much. Think of these Dôen Iona lace-trimmed silk-satin shorts as the spring version of the “wrong shoe theory.” While they have that girly, boudoir-inspired feel, they actually look best when paired with something completely unexpected — like a sporty track jacket or a chunky granny sweater. That specific juxtaposition of the lush sage green silk and intricate lace against something a bit more rugged or oversized just works." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Shopping Partnerships 

Dôen Iona lace-trimmed silk-satin shorts, $, available at Net-A-PorterCharlotte Tilbury Blush Balm Lip Tint"If you’re an R29 regular, you’ll know my makeup bag is made up of mostly Charlotte Tilbury products, so I’ve been excited to add the brand’s latest launch — the Blush Balm Lip Tint — to my collection. Think of it as the perfect blend of your most moisturizing lip balm and your favorite comfortable lip stain. It glides on effortlessly, delivering a glossy (but not sticky) sheen and a hit of pigment that makes lips look juicy and plump. As the balm dries down, the color lingers, leaving a softly diffused finish. Blushed Jam is my top pick for its just-bitten, blackberry‑esque tint." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director 

Charlotte Tilbury PILLOW TALK BLUSH BALM LIP TINT, $, available at Charlotte TilburyCreed Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum"Creed’s Wild Vetiver is my new spring scent obsession. At first spritz, you’d expect something very green and crunchy, and while it’s certainly refreshing, the dry-down is sweeter and warmer than I anticipated — like all the best smells of a summer’s day: just-cut grass (that’ll be the vetiver), powdery roses, and ripe berries from blackcurrant bud. I’ve been wearing it ever since I discovered it a few weeks ago, and the compliments have been rolling in. Even better? It’s one of the longest‑lasting fragrances in my collection. I spritzed it onto the lapel of my trench weeks ago and it still lingers." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director 

Creed Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum, $, available at c, NordstromDior Forever Skin Glow Foundation"Dior’s new Forever Skin Glow is first and foremost a foundation, but secondly, skincare thanks to oil-reducing niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and peptides, essentially proteins that help moisturize, heal, and strengthen the skin. I think the phrase “wears like a second skin” is overused in beauty, but this is truly one of the most comfortable, skin-friendly foundations in my kit. The glow it lends is a subtle one, and doesn’t exacerbate my oily skin. What’s more, the medium coverage is enough to blur dark circles, breakouts, and skin staining left behind by pimples." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director 

Dior Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation, $, available at NordstromEssie Glass Nails Nail Polish"I’m taking a break from getting my gel manis and was intrigued when Essie released a new Glass Nails nail polish collection. This formula is the perfect balance of sheer, shiny, and quick drying. I usually swipe on two coats and love the glassy/glossy finish it leaves. And since it comes off easily with a swipe of acetone, I can change up my mani as easily as I change my outfits." — Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director 

Essie Nail Art Studio Glass Nails Collection, $, available at Ulta Beauty& Other Stories Hooded Anorak"As soon as I saw Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2026 runway looks, I was obsessed with finding a similar anorak jacket. It’s giving ’90s pullover jacket nostalgia. One of my favorites is this one from & Other Stories in a muted orange color. Its clean design is the perfect complement to spring outfits — dressing it up with a skirt or down with some gym shorts for weekend errands. For those who dislike the ¾ zip style, this Lululemon full-zip jacket was a close second for me." — Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director 

& Other Stories Hooded Anorak, $, available at & Other StoriesRose & Ben Beauty D2 Complexion Brush"I had the chance to meet beauty educator Rose Siard at a recent industry event, and she was every bit as kind as you’d hope — then went above and beyond by sending me a box of brushes from her brand to test (see previous statement!). Out of the bunch, the clear standout is the D2, a dual-ended complexion brush that’s fully replaced every other foundation brush in my routine. I use the larger, fluffy end for an airbrushed finish with liquid foundation, and the smaller side (which mimics the shape of a fingertip) to tap and blend concealer. The synthetic bristles are unbelievably soft and feel incredibly luxe. Safe to say, I’m a fan for life." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Rose & Ben Beauty D2 Complexion Brush, $, available at Rose & Ben BeautyLORE Somewhere but nowhere Eau de Parfum"This fragrance is so special, I was tempted to gatekeep it — but it’s simply too good not to share. I’ve always loved LORE’s deeply personal, slightly enigmatic approach to scent (another favorite: Disfruta, which smells like a luxe citrus-mezcal cocktail at a fancy hotel bar), but Somewhere but nowhere feels especially magical. It blends warm cedarwood and vanilla with just a whisper of spicy cardamom, striking a balance between masculine and feminine. No single note steals the spotlight — the whole thing just works. And it lingers beautifully on hair and clothes; when I gave a sample to a friend, she told me it smelled like me. I could cry! — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

LORE Somewhere but nowhere Eau de Parfum, $, available at SephoraYSL Beauty Lovenude Lip Blusher Soft Blurring Lip Color"I wrote about the blurred makeup trend last year, and it shows no signs of slowing down — which is great news for me, because I happen to love it. YSL's Lovenude Lip Blusher is super creamy and smooth, and leaves a soft, diffused matte kiss of color that makes me feel like I'm an extra on Bridgerton – minus the Regency-era garb. My favorite shade is Mauve Haze, a stunning warm rose. And can we talk about this packaging? Reapplying it in public makes me feel like that girl." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Yves Saint Laurent Lovenude Lip Blusher Soft Blurring Lip Color, $, available at Sephoram.ph By Mary Phillips Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation"Celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips is the queen of cool-girl soft glam (see: Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber), so when she debuted a beauty brand last year, I was so excited to try it. I'm truly blown away by her sophomore launch, Le Skin. This is a gorgeous foundation. As the name suggests, the texture is lightweight and serum-like, and the finish looks truly undetectable: Think your skin, but better. The coverage is on the lighter side of light-to-medium, but buildable (and plays nice with the brand's Underpainting palette) if you crave extra coverage." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

m.ph by Mary Phillips Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation, $, available at SephoraPaige Stevie Straight Jean"As the seasons change, everyone talks about building a transitional wardrobe. And right now, my MVP is the Stevie Straight Jean from Paige. This dark-wash, high-rise straight leg looks and feels clean and classic. I’ll style it with a flowy blouse in the spring, a crop top in the summer, and a turtleneck come fall. It dresses up easily with boots or heels, but thanks to its comfort stretch and 98% cotton fabrication, it still feels soft and easy enough for all-day wear." — Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director 

PAIGE Stevie Straight Jean, $, available at PAIGEHalara SoftlyZero Airy Dress"In March, Halara launched its Reece Weaver Edit, a collection of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader’s favorite styles. I’m currently living in the SoftlyZero Airy Dress in the shade fig, it’s the perfect work-from-home piece, elevated enough for daylong meetings and comfortable enough for my midday walks." — Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director 

Halara SoftlyZero™ Airy Dress, $, available at HalaraWiskii Beyond Denim Dress"If you’re looking for activewear (or, let’s be honest, loungewear) that’s cute, movable, and hugs every curve just right, I’m really into Wiskii. Now, I know I’m a little late to the party, but this Vintage Grey A-line Denim Mini Dress — with built-in comfy shorts and all-day support — made me an absolute believer. As a Swiftie, knowing that Taylor Swift owns the same piece is just a bonus. Available in sizes ranging from small to extra large, it fits those who look like Tay and those who share my curvier build just as beautifully." — Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director 

Wiskii Beyond Denim Dress, $, available at WiskiiPacifica Barrier Defense Hypochlorous Acid Daily Spray"I’m all about hypochlorous acid sprays for reducing my skin's redness, preventing or treating breakouts, and refreshing after gym sessions. And this new Pacifica one is the latest I’ve tried and loved. I enjoy that it’s more of a light mist that doesn’t drench my face and especially that it’s fragrance-free since I have sensitive skin." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer 

Pacifica Beauty Defense Hypochlorous Acid Daily Spray, $, available at Pacifica BeautyBabaton Key Cotton Eira T-Shirt"This very well may be the perfect little white t-shirt. It’s so crisp, soft, and fits like a baby tee on me, which I love, especially when paired with high-waisted jeans. This new spring style is already low stock online, but Babaton offers tons of high-quality t-shirts to peruse." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer 

Babaton Key Cotton Eira T-Shirt, $, available at AritziaCandice B-Low The Belt Croco Leather Belt"I’m absolutely obsessed with this statement belt, and so is everyone else who compliments me on it. The chocolatey leather is so glossy, and the buckle is so unique and different from anything I own. I love wearing it with a casual ‘fit paired with a matching leather bag and boots, or with a blazer and trousers for work." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer 

B-Low The Belt CANDICE CROCO LEATHER BELT, $, available at B-Low The BeltCasio Baby-G Watch & Heart-Shaped Holder"I’m officially a watch girl. And this convertible Casio watch is the cutest and most casual one in my collection. You can wear it as a regular watch, or take off the face and pop it into a rubbery heart-shaped holder to wear as a keychain or bag charm. I actually plan on hooking the heart-shaped holder with other baubles onto a belt for a last-minute Coachella outfit!" — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer

Capris Are Back—Here’s The Cool Way To Wear Them

I’ll admit it. There was once a time when I felt like every special outfit had to be paired with a stiletto. Thankfully, the fashion cycle has entered an era where teetering on stilettos is out. I’m finally fully embracing the functional-meets-sexy era and doing so in — dare I say it — clogs. Yes, the once orthopedic-recommended shoe is at the top of my shopping list.

Of course, Chloé’s last couple of shows with Chemena Kamali at the helm certainly piqued my interest, making me fall in love with the delicious combination of frilly dresses paired with chunky shoes. But it was Louise Trotter’s sculptural take that made me finally hit add to cart.

And it’s not just a runway moment. The street style scene is flooded with the chunky-sole shoe. Zendaya was recently spotted out and about with Tom Holland wearing slip-on clogs. Anne Hathaway also was photographed by paparazzi in a studded pair — the true star of the clog comeback.

We can’t talk clogs without mentioning the OGs, Dr. Scholl’s. Not only have they been at it since 1924, they continue to find ways to make the click-clack wooden shoes feel more relevant than ever, most recently with a limited-edition collaboration with Wrangler.

Between the dirt-kicking heritage of Wrangler and the orthopedic-chic legacy of Dr. Scholl’s, the latest crop of clogs feel both utilitarian and wildly cool. While the collection features the iconic open-toe Original Sandal in new colorways (including a striking red and a speckled, cow-print motif), the standout is the studded perforated suede and leather designs.

I like to think of the hardware-adorned clogs as shoe candy, especially since they instantly dress up a simple outfit like a jeans-and-T-shirt combo. And what’s even better? Most designs offer the height and formality of a heel with the stability of a wedge or chunky kitten heel. That’s a win-win for all of spring and summer outfits.

9 Spring Shoe Trends That Put Fun & Comfort First

These Spring Sneaker Trends Have Me Locked In

On a breezy week in March, I had the opportunity to touch down in Georgia for the Crown Royal x Realtree Kickback Experience to celebrate a new collaboration that truthfully may have got lost in my inbox. That is, until I found out that Love Island alumna and The Traitors winner Rob Rausch was the face of it!

Yes, the snake-wrangling, denim overall-wearing, reality TV heartthrob that the internet is obsessed with is the face of the camouflage and whiskey brands’ new capsule collection. “A perfect fit,” Rausch says to me. Even more kismet, Crown Royal and Realtree tapped Rausch before knowing the outcome of Season 4 of The Traitors. His laidback nature and outdoor lifestyle were simply a match for the brands, which both value heritage, connection, and kicking back.

Like Rausch (and his recent endeavors with MAC Cosmetics, DoorDash, Quinn, Celsius, Sonic, and more), clothing and gear brand Realtree is no stranger to notable collaborations, adding its iconic camouflage prints to the likes of Nike, Supreme, and even Skims (modeled by Post Malone) throughout the years.

“When we looked at what Crown Royal has built around their brand – the tradition and the heritage — it was clear this wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill brand collab,” said Tyler Jordan, VP of strategic partnerships at Realtree in a press release.

Meanwhile, this is Crown Royal’s first time creating a co-branded Crown Royal Fine Deluxe whiskey bottle pouch design (which I’ve since learned are deemed collectibles).

“We always hear stories about what people do with their Crown Royal bags. For our first nationally distributed collaboration, it was important that we made something with the right partners that would be cool and collectible,” said Hadley Schafer, vice president at alcohol leader Diageo. “The result is a collection that reflects not only style, but also our shared appreciation for craftsmanship, time spent outdoors, and, of course, generosity.”

In addition to the Crown Royal bag, the capsule collection includes a Crown Royal x Realtree T-shirt, hoodie, baseball cap, and 45-quart cooler. Crown Royal will also be donating at least $20,000 to the Purple Heart Foundation tied to this collection.

And Rausch, while extremely humble — he was shocked that the likes of Olympian Alysa Liu and actor Daniel Radcliffe have introduced themselves since his Traitors fame — seemed happy to talk about the collab and to actually kick back (and escape from his press cycle) at Realtree Farms in Georgia.

“Crown Royal is something I always tend to go to when I’m back at home, chilling with friends. Crown Royal lemonade,” Rausch told me. “Realtree being part of it is massive. And I love everything they’re about — being outdoors with wildlife is what it’s all about. What more do you need?”

On a sunny day full of cornhole, fishing, tractor rides, campfires, Traitors talk, and an impromptu game of mafia (basically Traitors, which Rausch, as the gamer he is, prompted us to play), we celebrated and tested the new camo styles and whiskey cocktails.

Rausch specifically called out Crown Royal lemonades as one of his favorite concoctions to drink. (And in case you’re wondering, he prefers his drinks neat, in red solo cups.) He also shared that he was excited to hand deliver the new coolers to his friends and family, and that he’s most likely to wear the new camo hat to go snake wrangling.

When describing his ideal kickback, Rausch says: “One of the ways I like to relax — I love playing poker with friends back home. Pour myself a little Crown Royal and lemonade. Have a good time with the boys. And being home on the farm at the creek by myself. That’s when I feel most like myself.”

In a press release, Rausch also added: “This partnership brings together the things I care about most, like being in nature, spending time with my people and enjoying great whisky. I’ve always been into camo, and everything in the collection fits both how I live and my personal style.”

And by the end of the kickback experience, I truly couldn’t think of a more perfect or down-to-earth celebrity to represent Crown Royal and Realtree.

Rausch says he wants to spend time back home in Alabama, settle down, and seemingly doesn’t want a chaotic celebrity lifestyle. He even explains that he probably wouldn’t join an all-stars version of The Traitors because he already has a “perfect record” and that, regarding the fan theories that he’ll join the next season of Dancing With The Stars, he doesn’t think he’d do it: “But never say never, you know?”
