I Shop For a Living, and These Are the 11 Must Haves I NEED to Buy For May

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

I truly love my job — I shop all day and write about the buzziest products that POPSUGAR readers should know about. Needless to say, I find quite a few things I would like to buy for myself along the way. For May, I can't help but get excited for bold shoes, patterned skirts, and graphic tees. I'm on the hunt for beauty products and home decor essentials as well. If you're wondering what shopping editors place at the top of their wish lists, now is the time to take a peek. Here's what is hot for Spring.
