Ah, the start of spring. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and the weather is finally as warm as we’d like it to be. And yes, spring cleaning is important for a fresh slate – but at the start of any season, I also find myself doing some shopping to set myself up for the coming months.
As a San Francisco resident who works from home as senior director of special projects, my days are spent balancing a job I’m passionate about, prioritizing my mental and physical wellness, and spending lots of time with family and friends. That looks like working out every day (I can’t live without hot yoga classes and going on runs through my beautiful city), leaning into a personal style that makes me feel most myself, and spending as much time outside as humanly possible with the people I love. Oh, yes, and a good dose of retail therapy from time to time.
After doing a little spring cleaning of my closet and makeup bag, I made some room for new styles and products that bring me joy and keep me feeling refreshed day in and out. From the perfect slouchy jeans to sneakers that hold up on long walks, here are the products that are on rotation in my daily routine this season and beyond.
