Our Top Picks for the Week of February 18, 2019

It's always interesting to me how the top picks invariably come together to accurately portray the mood of the moment. This week, we clearly have spring on our minds with a mix of soothing winter-white neutrals pepped up with rainbow brights. As for the picks themselves, well we have a wide range of good stuff from CBD soda (see ya, wine) to the most sophisticated bomber we've seen, from a sporty way to S'well to a go-to t-shirt you'll sport non-stop, from a super practical and super cute "clipfolio" to a super chic crescent necklace.Elizabeth: You know how about this time of the year you are sick of all your winter clothes and you want an update? The Soft Bomber by Vince is the perfect option for your winter dressing blues and we all know you still need a coat in this area until late April sometimes. (Available at The Hive, $395)Meaghan: As you know, I am on a constant search for chic, simple jewelry that doesn't compromise on the luxe factor. This crescent necklace featuring diamond accents hits that sweet spot for me. Customize yours with your choice of gold or platinum and get ready to reach for this lovely lady on a daily basis. (Available at Alx&Co., 14k yellow, rose, or white gold, $495; platinum, $995; includes 16" cable chain, other options available)Angela: At the risk of seeming like a CBD emporium, Sprig CBD soda is our new favorite thing. The days are long and stressful and rather than sit down with a glass or two (or three) of wine, one of these sparkling waters offers 20 mg of CBD relaxation. The latest introduction to our wellness section, this refreshing soda is a low cal hit! (Available at Bellacara, $5)Celeste: Yes! Designed with your active lifestyle in mind, the Sport Cap’s convenient pop top allows for splash-free sipping during your favorite workout. Eliminate the need to remove the cap! (Available at Kiskadee, $10)Amy: Rifle Paper Co. just introduced a Hardcover Clipfolio with an interior pocket sleeve and removable writing pad, and they are now available in the shop. It comes in two equally lovely floral patterns that remind us spring is just around the corner. (Available at Penny Post, $32)Ali: Brochu Walker brings us this sophisticated take on the ultimate wardrobe essential: the t-shirt. Perfect for spring, this t-shirt is the quintessential day-to-night, week-to-weekend top. It's slightly fitted with elongated sleeves and a wider crew neckline, elements that, when combined, make this top perfect when tucked into a pencil skirt, cropped trousers, or jeans. Let's not forget, the linen/viscose blend helps with staying cool so you can add that blazer on top without overheating at the office. (Available at TSALT, $148)
