I truly love my job — I shop all day [1] 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 [2] 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 [3] 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.
Aldo Acilla Bag
I love the ring handles on this Aldo Acilla Bag [5] ($55). It also includes a reversible crossbody strap, so it's quite versatile. I want to use this all Summer long because it matches everything.
Needle & Thread Iris Dress
Since the moment I laid eyes on the Needle & Thread Iris Dress [6] ($447), it's all I've been able to think about. The pretty millennial pink hue is flattering on a variety of skin tones, and the textured floral material is mesmerizing. Whether you're attending a wedding or big party, this is the perfect option.
Katy Perry Collections The Kaitlynn Slides
Last year, my BFFs bought me a pair of Katy Perry Collections heels [7], and I've been a massive fan ever since. This season, I have my eye on The Kaitlynn Slides [8] ($109). The lucite heel and classic red hue make for a playful design I'll slip on weekly.
SheIn Gingham Asymmetric Frill Skirt
With a price tag so affordable, it's hard to resist this SheIn Gingham Asymmetric Frill Skirt [9] ($8). I'll pair it with a graphic tee and sneakers for a cute yet comfy warm-weather look.
Anthropologie Paint + Petals Melamine Dinner Plate
Brunch will be better than ever when I serve it on these Anthropologie Paint + Petals Melamine Dinner Plates [10] ($8, originally $10 each). Bay Area-born artist Bridgette Thornton played with color and depth when designing these gorgeous dishes. They're definitely worthy of an Instagram snap.
SK-II GenOptics Aura Essence Serum
Never have I tried an effective skincare product quite like this SK-II GenOptics Aura Essence Serum [11] ($240). It's packed with brightening ingredients that quickly absorb into your face to improve dullness and reduce the appearance of spots.
Crosley Lilac Cruiser Bluetooth Record Player
I'm looking to upgrade my living room, and this Crosley Lilac Cruiser Bluetooth Record Player [12] ($99) is the perfect accessory to start with. The pastel lilac hue is surprisingly versatile, and the handle makes it easy to move around.
And Other Stories Leaf Lace Bralette
Not only is this And Other Stories Leaf Lace Bralette [13] ($39) pretty, but it's also quite comfortable. Wear it under a sheer white blouse so you can show off the cheerful color.
Ban.do Drinks Striped Tee
I love a good basic t-shirt, but this fun Ban.do Drinks Striped Tee [14] ($44) is the perfect Summer staple. Wear it with shorts, jeans, or a miniskirt.
BaubleBar Vernita Flower Drop Earrings
I'm addicted to buying statement jewelry like these BaubleBar Vernita Flower Drop Earrings [15] ($42). The dramatic silhouette will stand out and elevate any look, even a casual weekend denim ensemble.
Bliss Eye Do All Things Hydrating Eye Gel
I tend to get dark circles under my eyes, but this Bliss Eye Do All Things Hydrating Eye Gel [16] ($22) is a miracle worker. It depuffs and brightens my skin while simultaneously tightening it.
