Mentally, Winter Is Over—30 Worthwhile Items Proving My Point

Mentally, winter has officially come to an end. The coats, boots, and scarves in my closet say otherwise, but that doesn’t matter because warmer weather is all I can think about right now. When people debate about which season is most superior, spring is almost always left out of the conversation. But spring just so happens to be my favorite season because the sun sets later in the day, flowers begin filling the city, and my layers are much lighter. It’s the best reward after months of frigid temperatures. But who would I be if I didn’t take it up a notch and reward myself for getting through the winter? I’ve been spending my days shopping for items that prove that winter is over despite what the temperature indicates—I’m talking minidresses, swimsuits, strapless blouses, and even skincare products. If you’re ready to ditch the winter essentials, keep scrolling for some of the mood-boosting items I won’t shut up about.

Excuse me while I go find an event to wear this pretty little number to. 

Our editors are huge fans of The Row. Meet the shoulder bag in everyone’s carts.

These details deserve your attention. Look at the square toe, ankle straps, and gold buckle. 

High-rise and wide-leg will always be an elite combo. I’d style this pair just like the model has.

These are the perfect earrings to wear to a wedding.

I’d shove all of my neutral sweaters into the back of my closet if it meant I could wear this sweater on repeat.

If it’s a multiuse product, it’s going in my cart. This brand never disappoints.

Denim skirts are everywhere right now. This one is under $50 and bound to sell out.

Oh-so regal.

I caved and bought this after all the TikTok hype. It’s functional and stylish. I regret nothing.

I’m giving my gua sha an upgrade. This has six different edges that help sculpt, lift, and contour the shape of your face while plumping fine lines and wrinkles. 

Maxi hemlines are reigning supreme. Consider this style a staple.

I posted about this fragrance on my Instagram Stories, and my DMs were flooded with comments like, “That’s my favorite perfume,” and, “I love this!”

Glamour personified.

The B stands for Black-owned and beautiful.

I’m a certified contour novice. This sponge applicator is beginner friendly and only $5.

My current work bag doesn’t stand a chance against this beauty. The dark-coral shade is everything.

This ring was made for stacking.

All of the other white tanks in my closet are about to be jealous when this one takes center stage. The shoulder details sold me.

Color-blocking for the neutral lovers.

I can’t wait to introduce all of my trousers to this one. The leather-covered buckle brings this otherwise basic accessory to new heights. 

Catch me throwing these on before going to the beach, during a casual day working from home, or after a long day of running around the city.

Quick question: To layer or not to layer? 

You had me at “instant, noninvasive face lift.” With patented triple-wave technology, this device can give your face the appearance of firmer, more youthful-looking skin in as little as 10 minutes. Sign me up.

I’m fully prepared to wear this as a swimsuit by the pool and as a bodysuit under an oversize blazer.

I like to think of this as perfume for my underarms. The forumla dries almost instantly, but the scent lasts all day. 

The bow detail is a sign that I should gift this to myself. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

Add some variety to your oversize button-down collection.

Can we have a moment for this sculptural wedged heel? I’ve never clicked “add to bag” so fast.

The more SPF the better. Vacation just launched its iconic sunscreen in SPF 50.
