This month, much of team Fashionista’s brain power was occupied with all things fashion week, but we still found time to squeeze in some retail therapy.Though it may still be freezing outside, we’re already prepping our springtime wardrobes with a sleek lace scarf, an airy black slip dress, straight-leg blue jeans and a boatneck maxi dress. Our standout accessories include Valentine’s Day-approved heart-shaped jewelry, a simple-yet-sturdy black tote bag and slip-on sky-blue sneakers.Ahead, see (and shop!) all of our favorite fashion discoveries from February.
Dissh Andrea Sandstone Cupro Lace Scarf, $113, available here: “Made from a cupro-viscose blend, this scarf can be styled in a myriad of different ways (tied around your neck, hips, head) and is lightweight enough to be worn in any season, but not so much that it’s see-through. And the lace trim is a sweet touch.” —Steph Saltzman, Style & Beauty Director
Charles & Keith Edna Tote Bag, $123, available here: “If a bag can survive fashion week schlepping, then it’s definitely a keeper. To be able to hold a laptop, a microphone, a travel makeup kit, a pair of flats, an Owala, a book, my keys and have a little bit of room to spare? Yeah, she’s here to stay.” —Janelle Sessoms, Staff Writer
Wales Bonner Paris Trainers, $665, available here: “Amid the current proliferation of retro-inspired sneakers, this new pair from Wales Bonner (with no involvement from Adidas) is a standout. I’m weirdly into the bowling shoe-esque details and sleek silhouette, and the neutral color palette lets the excellent Italian craftsmanship speak for itself.” —Dhani Mau, Editor in Chief
Jenny Bird Mega Art Heart Button Earrings, $168, available here: “No one does an oversized earring quite like Jenny Bird. I love the slightly droopy design, which puts a modern spin on the heart motif. I instantly feel more put together with these gold statement earrings, and I can confirm I proudly wore these on Valentine’s Day as a certified hopeless romantic.” —Catie Pusateri, Staff Writer
Dôen Lavon Pant in Cafe Brun, $378, available here: “I love any pair of pants that feels like pajamas, but is also elevated enough to be worn to a fancy restaurant without anyone batting an eye. This pair of fringed wide legs absolutely fits the bill: They’re like luxurious silk loungewear, but with the embellished trim, they’re also clearly party pants.” —Steph
Pink Campus Knit Sweater, $80, available here: “I’m not a dog mom (I’ve literally never owned a pet, besides a fish I had for three hours), but not even I could resist this sweater. Adorable graphic design aside, this soft, oversized knit is just what I need to bundle up as it continues to snow in NYC.” —Janelle
Marcella Winslet Dress, $138, available here: “I kicked off this past New York Fashion Week’s festivities in this chic A-line maxi dress. Its boat neckline paired with a drop-waist silhouette gives the appearance of a sophisticated look without ever feeling complicated or busy. To sweeten the high-stretch style, it has pockets! Even my perfectly-timed sinus infection couldn’t dampen this look.” —Catie
Alex Mill Coco Sport Cardigan, $168, available here and Pant, $168, available here: “Honestly, the brand’s product description says it as well as I could, if not better: ‘The “just running errands but if I happen to run into four people I know at the grocery store, I wouldn’t be mad about it” set.’ Even six years after the pandemic, the elevated loungewear category is still a huge part of my wardrobe, and this cardigan-and-pant set is the sweatsuit alternative I’ve been searching for.” —Dhani
Anine Bing Clementine Dress, $550, available here: “I don’t have plans to go to any black tie weddings this spring, but if I did, this would be the dress I’d wear. The super simple silhouette, straight-across neckline and spaghetti straps are the stuff of ’90s-era minimalist dreams, and the floor-grazing semi-sheer skirt keeps things airy and modern.” —Steph
Kizik Siena, $130, available here: Every pair of Kizik sneakers I’ve owned has been hit after hit — my life has never been the same since I was introduced to its hands-free slip-on technology — so I was more than excited to add another style to my shoe rotation. This one comes in a fun shade of blue that provides just enough pop to be eye-catching, yet is neutral enough for daily wear.” —Janelle
Uniqlo x JW Anderson Straight Jeans, $50, available here: “I’ve been on a dark denim kick lately (blame the dreary weather), so this classic blue pair took me by surprise. Courtesy of JW Anderson’s collaboration with Uniqlo, these 100% cotton denim jeans boast a mid-rise waist and straight-leg silhouette. They feel sturdy and pair perfectly with my oversized sweaters. It’s giving luxury denim, without the luxury price tag.” —Catie
Jenny Bird Puffy Heart Ring, $128, available here: “I may have spent Valentine’s Day running around to NYFW shows, but it made for the perfect excuse to flaunt this statement ring all around town. I really love that, even though its elongated shape and puffy style make it a standout piece, it’s so lightweight that I forgot I even had it on.” —Janelle
Uniqlo:C Drawstring Bag, $39.90, available here: “I love an expensive leather designer handbag as much as the next girl, but it’s also extremely important (at least for me) to have a bag that I can carelessly throw around in my car or under my airplane seat. I’ve been regularly using a $20 nylon crossbody from Uniqlo for many, many years for this reason, but I needed something a little bigger. This recent launch from Clare Waight Keller’s collection is The One. Price aside, the expandable design is genius, and I love that it feels distinctive from other nylon bags on the market. —Dhani
Alice + Olivia Dollie Faux Fur Cuff Cardigan, $550 $330, available here: “My cardigan obsession has struck once again. I love this forest green cropped sweater and its detachable faux-fur cuffs, which add a pop of personality to the cozy piece. It’s also made of 100% merino wool, so I don’t have to worry about catching a chill.” —Catie
