I’m always in need of an “in between” shoe for spring. You know, not quite a sandal but not quite a structured ballet flat or loafer. I have been loving the mesh flats and jellies microtrend — popular last season and even more widespread this one. What a playful way to welcome spring and have fun with fashion, while indulging in some 90s nostalgia. I’m ordering a pair of these $50 The Row-inspired flats, and will be bringing out my Staud Alba flats from last season — elegant yet sweet and casual at the same time (seen above and below!). These $35 Target Mary Janes (a Magpie reader bestseller) achieve a similar look.

Hi Jen, Not sure if you are still doing a WYSF post, but would love some ideas for resort bags for summer. I have a tropical getaway planned in May. I’ve been so inspired by the bright crocheted bags seen on White Lotus 3. Curious if any thoughts on the brand Aqua D’ Mar. So drawn to their silk and rainbow bags!
Yes! Great blog post idea. Will put some thought into this. I LOVE the brand you just sent — new to me but so chic!! I would also look at Dans La Main, Poolside, and The Jacksons (https://go.shopmy.us/p-14759750)!
