"I wanted something to spice up my rather conservative closet this spring and it was Zara to the rescue. Their take on this tie-blouse trend had me at first glance. I love the versatility of the belt; it can dangle as pictured online or be tied in a bow for a preppier vibe. A girl has gotta have her options!" —Colleen Lowery, Designer

"April showers bring May flowers, so there’s no better time of year to break out those raincoats. I realized my trusty weather-resistant rain gear from college (‘sup NorthFace!) needed a refresh—and ultimate retirement. Cue Stutterheim, the minimalist Swedish raincoat that may or may not be taking over your Instagram feeds. This translucent version, made in collaboration with everyone’s favorite French fashion darling, Garance Doré, is the chicest way to bring a bit of brightness to those dreary spring days." —Hana Asbrink, Digital News Editor

"I know it's a splurge, but designer denim is my weakness. About twice a year I'll survey the InStyle fashion editors to get their recommendations on the new must-have pair of jeans. This frayed style from Mother is my new favorite; it's insanely comfortable, yet sleek looking." — Angelique Serrano, Beauty Director

"When I make a purchase weather it's clothing, shoes, jewelry, or even home items I always think, how many different ways can I get use out of this? From the moment I saw this beauty I had to have it. I think this is possibly the most versatille dress I've ever seen. Not only can you wear it over a slip dress but you can wear it over pants too which just makes it worth every cent in my opinion." —Elana Zajdman, Accessories Editor

"I surprised my husband with BVLGARI’s latest cologne, Aqua Pour Homme Atlantiqve. In short, he LOVED it! Inspired by the strength of the ocean, this fragrance is the perfect mix of dreamy and dark. Its key notes make for an absolutely divine scent. Finding a suitable fragrance that matches your persona goes a lot further than just smelling good, it exudes confidence and has the ability to fully transform your mood. Aqua Pour Homme Atlantiqve does just that! It has a nostalgic familiarity about it, its refreshing aquatic identity brings you back to warm days spent on the beach. With Summer around the corner and Father’s day coming up, this invigorating cologne is the perfect gift!" —Marina Budarina-Sanchez, Deputy Chief of Reporters
