Our Top Picks for the Week of February 25, 2019

Spring travel plans on the horizon? Lucky you! Even luckier because this week's top picks include items perfect for travel. We have a straw hat that you can pack (yes, really), a light and airy blazer, a versatile wedge espadrille, earrings that dress up or down, and a cleanser that does double duty. And the pen? Well, you always need a good pen and this one is stellar.Amy: Built to be carried with you wherever you go, Schon DSGN pens are sophisticated, compact, and dependable. Designed and made in small batches in Massachusetts, each pen comes in thoughtfully designed packaging with a Schon DSGN Notebook. (Available at Penny Post, $100)Ali: If you follow our Instagram Stories, you might remember the Frieda blazer by Brochu Walker. This blazer is everything. In true Brochu Walker fashion, it's fabrication is light and airy, so it's without a doubt the perfect addition to your spring/summer work wardrobe. The length is ideal and it has a bit of stretch, so you can stay comfortable all day long. (Available at TSALT, $438)Elizabeth: One of the most frustrating things about packing for a warm weather trip is that if you try to pack a cute hat it gets smashed! Rag & Bone has the perfect solution: the packable straw fedora available in three different colors, pink, olive, and blue, sized small, medium, and large. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $225)Angela: One Love Organics Vitamin B Cleansing Oil is great as a pre-cleanse or solo cleanser. Massage the oil on to break up the makeup, then add water and watch it turn to a milky liquid that washes off clean and leaves skin feeling refreshed. (Available at Bellacara, $42)Meaghan: I have a bunch of new inventory in the shop that I am super excited about and while we have in stock a number of truly amazing diamond, sapphire, and other precious pieces, I keep going back to these crystal quartz drops as my personal favorite. Set in 14k yellow gold, the neutral shade will pair perfectly with any color while the stunning chandelier shape will dress up even the most basic t-shirt and jeans. And the price on these is perfect for your next special gift (and if it's to yourself, you have my blessing). (Available at Alx&Co., $480)Celeste: Chic yet sturdy, this sandal by Patricia Green will be your go-to wedge espadrille spring, summer, and early fall! The khaki color is a new, seasonal footwear favorite. This peep-toe espadrille will pair with so many of your outfits. (Available at Kiskadee, $198)
