As a fashion influencer, I’m always looking ahead to the latest designer drops that are worth the splurge. On top of that, it’s also exciting to share my latest discoveries with you guys. One of the first stops I make to scout out the latest and greatest designer collections is Net-A-Porter. I love that Net-A-Porter not only carries the biggest names in fashion but they also support emerging designers. This makes it easy to shop both seasonal “It” pieces and under-the-radar brands in one place. The website is also super easy to navigate. I typically go directly to the “New In” section to filter out older collections and focus only on what’s current. Now when it comes to what to buy, practicality is my main criteria. If there’s an item that I know I’ll regularly use for years – or that it can hold its resale value later on, then it’s most likely a good purchase. I’m sure it can feel overwhelming to make that decision on your own, so I wanted to highlight the seasonal luxe pieces on my wish list.

As soon as spring hits, I’m ready to splurge on a pair of comfortable sandals that I can wear now through summer. To me, these are the definition of perfect. The breathable jute soles, soft leather straps and gold logo accent look so chic yet understated. I also love that they’re weightless to pack (and wear).

I often get asked about my favorite non-flashy designer bags. If I had to pick just one for spring and summer, this would be it. You get the same Italian quality as other luxe brands yet it doesn’t scream designer. The spacious silhouette offers plenty of room for larger essentials, so you can carry it when you’re traveling, on the beach or at work.

When it comes to accessories, there isn’t anything as simple yet transformative as a belt. I currently have my eyes on this Bottega piece. Like everything else from the brand, it marries luxurious functionality with statement-making appeal thanks to the sculptural buckle and premium leather.

You all know my love for flowy white pants runs deep. These are the perfect summer bottoms, and I’m especially loving the crinkled finish. It just means that you don’t have to iron them. Wear them dressed down with a bikini on the beach or with heels and a crop top for a night out.

Maison Michel has a formidable reputation for its remarkable hats, and I honestly don’t think its designs can be beat. I’m currently coveting this white one with the linen ribbon. It would look so chic with a floral dress or jeans and a statement top.

Bottega Veneta’s Mini Jodie has been on my wish list forever, and it’s grown to be even more desirable in color. I typically opt for neutral bags, but I think this one is so much fun in green. It just feels so stylish and trendy yet modern and timeless at the same time. Net-A-Porter also carries a host of other colors if pastels are more of your vibe.

Spring always brings out my feminine side, so there’s nothing I want to wear more than a romantic dress. Zimmermann makes the best styles and they always feel like a dream to wear. I’m obsessing over the details on this one. The watercolor flowers, decorative buttons and cinched waist are breathtaking.

Celine makes some of the most iconic sunglasses. The Edge is one of my favorite pairs, so I’m glad to see it back in more color options. The next on my buy list is the tortoiseshell acetate version. The lighter color would complement any spring or summer fit.

The bucket hat trend isn’t going anywhere, and it’s another style that’s growing on me. This Gucci logo hat immediately grabbed my attention and it would fit right into my more casual looks. The neutral colors make it wearable with almost anything, although I’d probably pair it with tonal sunnies and a beige outfit.

Another woven bag on my wish list is the Marni Tropicalia tote. The beauty of this bag is that you can carry it as a top handle or throw it over the shoulders with the removable longer strap. Anything that can be worn in multiple ways is a win in my book.

Finally, I’m still not over the logo hair clip trend, and can’t wait to get my hands on this one. The white resin design set with glistening crystals is just the cherry on top.
