editor picks; april 2025

April was a good month for fashion, home, and beauty. I leaned into some new colors for Spring, returned to some old favorites, and appreciated the classics.

1. Vintage T-Shirt - this is a tried and true! It is such a good staple piece for your closet and it’s so affordable. Layer it with a sweatshirt, style it with jeans, or honestly, pair it with anything. I have a few that I wear on rotation. Comes in a lot of colors, but you gotta have a white tee in your closet!

   
   

2. Oversized Button-Down Boyfriend Shirt - so versatile + affordable! Just like the white t-shirt above, you cannot go wrong with a button down in your closet - the perfect Spring + Summer staple. They are really trendy right now for casual comfy looks like I have stlyed above, but with a pair of jeans… chef’s kiss.

   
   

3. Amazon Women’s Wide Leg Track Pants - trendy + other colors available! I’m on the track pant trend for sure! I love styling them with a more casual look like I have styled above or dress them up with a nice top and heels. They are just so fun, comfortable, and a little edgy.

   
   

4. iPhone 14 Pro Max Silicone Case - a simple classic! Like I said, I have been appreciating the classics this month. I love a simple phone case that goes with every outfit and looks clean. A clean, simple phone case just says “classy gal.”

   
   

5. Amazon Rtetro Oval Sunglasses - trendy + cute! I love how classic but still really trendy this sunglasses are. They are so versatile and affordable! Definitely a designer look for less sitting at under $15!

   
   

6. The Love Knot Slouchy Bag - most used bag + other colors! This is 100% my most used bag. Love the relaxed, chill feel for Spring and Summer.

   
   

7. Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Liner - a classic for Spring + Summer! She’s been around a minute, but she’s still so good. It is the perfect pink nude color. I have been loving to pair her with the Merit Flush Balm listed below.

   
   

8. Faux Mohair Throw; Chambray - my Spring + Summer color! I am a neutrals gal, but give me anything and everything in this color, please. It pairs so beautifully with warm neutrals like chocolate brown, and I can’t get enough. It is bringing me so much joy this season.

   
   

9. Chocolate Brown Textured Pillow Cover - an old and continued favorite! I have had these pillows on my couch for quite some time now, but they had to make the list this month because of the light blue / brown combo that I’m living for. I have the blanket above styled with these (pictured below). They are really great quality as well.

   
   

10. Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush; Apres - gorgeous! These Merit blushes are the best. It is such a pretty pink berry shade. Love the finish with these and they are great for the lips as well.
