Spring is upon us yet again and as I begin to see the new-season arrivals trickle in, I’m considering what I’ll be adding to my wardrobe. Though I always aim to stick to my personal style when planning out my looks, this tie of the year is also an excuse to add fresh items to my wardrobe and invest in pieces I’ve been thinking about buying since I first saw them on the runways. It’s also an opportunity to test-drive the fresh silhouettes and trends that I have had my eye on.

As the weather in NYC begins to transition from cold winter days to warmer weather, I’ve made a short list of the items I’m eyeing for the months ahead. Among the fresh-in finds I’m considering are sunglasses with oversize proportions, colorful accent pieces including knits and scarves, and kitten heel pumps—plus plenty of timeless staples that I imagine wearing for years ahead. Ahead, my highly personal spring shopping list.
