As the new season unfolds, I find myself drawn to a wardrobe that feels more me—refined, intentional, and effortlessly elegant. This spring, I’m embracing timeless pieces with structure and soul, moving beyond fleeting trends to curate a style that resonates with my personal evolution.

H&M’s Spring 2025 collection has been a treasure trove of sophisticated yet accessible pieces. The collection features soft tailoring in lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen, perfect for the warmer months. Fluid silhouettes, including kaftans, dresses, blazers, waistcoats, and trousers, are adorned with golden hardware and delicate trims, offering a blend of comfort and elegance. 

One standout piece I couldn’t resist is a blue and white dress I picked up recently. Its classic, feminine design makes it incredibly versatile—ideal for everything from casual lunches to late spring evenings out. I can already envision pairing it with simple sandals and undone waves for a look that’s both crisp and playful.

I’m also eyeing pieces that nod to current trends without overwhelming them. The resurgence of fringe adds a playful texture to outfits, while the sport-luxe trend offers a blend of comfort and style, allowing for versatile dressing that suits various occasions. 

Color-wise, I’m leaning into earthy tones and crisp whites, providing a calming backdrop that’s easy to mix and match. Occasionally, I incorporate soft hues like butter yellow or pistachio to add a gentle pop of colour, aligning with the pastel revival trend. 

To complement this elevated simplicity, I’m focusing on beauty products that enhance natural features and promote a healthy glow:

• Ouai Wave Spray: I’ve seen this all over my tiktok recently and I’ve been hooked on getting it! Perfect for achieving effortless, beachy waves that add texture and movement to any hairstyle. Bought this from the Sephora sale
• Rhode Cleanser: A gentle yet effective cleanser that leaves my skin feeling refreshed and radiant. Once I’m done my current cleanser this is going to be purchused
• Sol de Janeiro Lip Butter Balm: I love anything that has to do with Sol de Janerio And when I saw that they have this product on revolve, I knew I had to get it

These products align with my goal of embracing beauty that doesn’t scream for attention but still turns heads in its own understated way.
