Welcome (or welcome back) to a warm little spring favorites catch-up—yes, it’s a bit late because we’re basically staring June in the face, but that seasonal shift always makes me want to switch things up. In this video, I’m sharing the everyday essentials I’ve genuinely been reaching for lately across clothing, accessories, makeup, hair, and skincare—nothing fancy, just the pieces that make life feel a little cozier and more put-together in that in-between Chicago weather (aka remnants of winter… then two weeks of perfect… then humid summer). I walk through my go-to jeans and trousers (that don’t dig after a big meal), my favorite Aritzia hip-length contour basics (because I hate tops that ride up), and the lightweight jackets I throw on constantly. Accessories are probably my favorite category because they add so much personality, so I’m sharing my mixed-metal Tous watch, my Covry sunglasses that actually work for my no-nose-bridge life, and my most-used phone add-ons: the MOFT Wallet Stand and Invisible Tripod (plus a giveaway). Then I get into my clean, easy spring-to-summer makeup routine (spot concealing, creamy Merit staples, and Summer Fridays), the two hair products that keep my thick straight hair from feeling dry or heavy, and the skincare staples that helped my forehead texture—especially the sulfur cleanser that genuinely saved my life.
