MUST-HAVE: My jewellery must-haves this spring are from my collection of fun jewellery pieces from my boutique, Kokemoi. We love classy and straightforward jewellery that makes a statement, as well as fun girly pieces that pair perfectly with that cute spring dress in your closet!
TRENDS: I am loving is the return of the corset! We saw this make a huge comeback last summer, and I am so happy to see designers like David Koma and Charlotte Knowles take their spin on this trend.

INSET PHOTO: Ever New Flutter-Sleeve Jumpsuit $179.99
MUST-HAVE: We live in a world right now where the hit accessory is a mask. A black fitted mask is a safe bet for most outfits. I also love the fancier masks that make you do a double look when you see them on someone, like white lace over pale pink or sequins for something a bit more wow.
TRENDS: I love a good spring jumpsuit, especially one with wide legs. Jumpsuits make you feel elegant and put together, but the real reason I love them is because they make you feel like you are on top of the world — so many boss babe vibes! Plus, they make your legs look like they go on for miles.
I have my eye on this one from Ever New, it combines pastels which are always a great hit for Spring as well as the long wide leg and fluttery sleeves.

For Love & Lemons Pink Crop Sweater $250, available at TrendSavvy.com
MUST-HAVE: As a mom, I love to pair a cropped top with a high-waisted pant. This hits at the narrowest part of my waist, creating the illusion of a tiny, flat tummy on my post baby body.
TRENDS: I'm excited about the cozy textures and oversized pieces continuing in 2021 fashion. Comfort has become very important with so many of us working from home. I pay more attention to how clothes feel against my skin these days. I find myself reaching for more oversized chunky knits.
