Shop Talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends to hit the internet. We’ll sift through new arrivals to bring you the styles we’re loving, the trends gaining momentum, and the pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
While warm weather feels like a distant memory at this point, I am pleased to report that Spring is a mere 35 days away. Snow may still be on the ground, but my time and attention have turned to spring trends and strategic purchases. I’m very much in the information-gathering phase of new-season shopping and have yet to nail what I’ll be investing in. But after this week’s market research, the list is starting to take shape. Funnel-neck jackets from Madewell and Aligne, new colorways of my favorite adidas Japan Shoes, and denim arrivals from Levi’s® are dominating in the fashion department. And for beauty, I’m focused on deep hydration, nourishing skincare, and makeup launches that will create the freshest spring glow. Shop my curated list of the best arrivals of the week from Madewell, Nordstrom, SSENSE, Sephora, and more below.
Spring Fashion Arrivals
Madewell
Denim Crop Field Jacket
The exact jacket I wore above.
Madewell
The ’90s Long-Sleeve Tee in Compact Cotton
Baseball tees are proving to be an unexpected (but welcome) micro-trend.
Madewell
The Brioche Mini Shoulder Bag
Incredible shape, incredible price.
I need to see more people talking about this adidas style.
ALIGNE
Brody Funnel Jacket
Another lightweight jacket I’m really into.
Quince
100% Organic Denim Overalls in Vintage White
I want most of my spring looks to include these overalls.
Coach
Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28
This is the prettiest colorway of the Coach Brooklyn bag I’ve seen yet.
ALIGNE
Elsa Wrap Trench Coat
Adore the stitching on this trench.
Quince
The Cashmere V-Neck Sweater
Clearly, I’m really liking faded denim this season.
Caslon®
Stretch Cotton Poplin Midi Skirt
KHAITE
Mia Zebra-Print Calf Hair Pumps
If I had an unlimited budget, this would be my first purchase.
Express
Stretch Cotton Polka Dot Puff Sleeve Mini Sheath Dress
I’m not sure which I like more, the print or the sleeves!
Express
Novelty Button Fitted Denim Jacket
I’m giving boxy jean jackets the boot and shopping this style instead.
Levi’s®
Ribcage Bell Jeans
Bootcut jeans will be my denim trend of choice this spring.
MANOLO BLAHNIK
Jadaron 70 Polka-Dot Silk-Satin Mules
Coach
Chelsea Shoulder Bag 30 With Chain
The Coach Chelsea Shoulder Bag has the perfect amount of slouch.
Express
Double Breasted Cropped Trench Coat
A spring wardrobe staple.
WAYF
Elena Wide Leg Pants
I can confirm the fashion set is swapping tailored trousers for this more relaxed pull-on pant.
Swooning over this new colorway of the adidas Japan Shoes.
Express
Fitted Ribbed Long Sleeve Polo Sweater
It doesn’t get more spring than this.
Levi’s®
501® ’90s Jeans
New shades of this editor-favorite ’90s cut.
GUCCI
Embellished Logo-Embossed Suede Boat Shoes
Gucci has entered the boat-shoe conversation.
Express
Polka Dot Tie Back Fit & Flare Midi Dress
If I were going to a spring wedding, this is what I’d wear.
Must-Try Spring Beauty and Bodycare
At this point there’s not one product from Cyklar I don’t enjoy. This new hand cream is divine.
Summer Fridays
Flushed Lip Stain 12hr Transfer-Proof Lip Tint
I can’t believe these are still in stock.
Wavytalk
Red Light Therapy Mask for Face
I have succumbed to the pressure of social media and decided I do, in fact, need a red light therapy mask.
Tower 28
SOS Rescue + Relief Body Wash Treatment
I’m not sure how my eczema-prone skin survived without Tower 28’s SOS line. I am thrilled about this new addition to the lineup.
The Outset
Botanical Barrier Rescue Balm
Finally, a multipurpose balm that isn’t greasy.
If you have severely dry skin, especially in the winter, this new cleanser is for you. I’m currently testing it out and have nothing but good things to say. It’s calming, hydrating, and non-stripping.
Patrick Ta
Mini Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
It has taken me over a year to make a dent in my full-size Patrick Ta blush duos. This new mini version has convinced me to try new shades without feeling guilty about not hitting pan on the others in my collection.
Dior
Forever Skin Bronze Bronzing Balm Stick
The Dior stick foundation is stunning so I have high hopes for this new bronzer launch.
Soft Services
Green Banana Buffing Bar Exfoliating Body Bar for KP and Ingrown Hairs
This miracle product somehow exfoliates my dry skin without irritating it further.
Wavytalk
IPL Hair Removal Device in White
PREQUEL
Barrier Therapy Rich Skin Protectant Creme
Another recommendation for my fellow dry-skin folks. This soothes even the roughest eczema spots for me.
For the perfect at-home blowout.
