Fashion, beauty finds for fresh spring flair

My style wish list seems to grow longer with each seasonal shift. A new fragrance? Don't mind if I do. A sweet sweater? An absolute must. With so many new options hitting shelves and online stores this season, Aleesha Harris rounds up a few of the freshes

SEEING STRIPES

We're not quite clear of sweater weather just yet. In fact, given the polarity of Canadian springtimes, it's not such a bad idea to keep a chic sweater with you at all times — just in case. This Babaton Tradition Sweater is poised to play the perfect part of a wear-everywhere piece thanks to its soft, knit material and a chic, roomy fit. Bonus points for the Parisian-approved stripes.

LIP LOVE

Another easy way to update your spring outlook is with a little lip love. Smooth out the situation — while also adding a hint of shine — with this Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. While we're partial to the new, sold-out hue Birthday Cake, which features a subtle sparkle, the range of buttery, vegan-friendly lip balms boasts a full array of juicy shades that would find a fit in every lip lineup.

SWEET SCENT

One of the easiest ways to update your spring style is with a fresh new scent. A warm-floral mix from Valentino offers this herby update to its iconic elixir thanks to Lapsang Souchong tea leaves. The Donna Born in Roma Green Stravaganza Eau de Parfum boasts additional fragrance notes of jasmine and vanilla to round out the sensual scent.

DENIM DREAMS

Give your straight and skinny jeans a break this season, opting instead for a roomier pair like these Levi's Baggy Dad Wide Leg Women's Jeans. Whether worn with a slimfit top or paired with a favourite oversized blazer, the mid-rise, wide leg jeans are sure to add a little welcome drama to your dayto-day ensembles.

DAZZLING DIAMONDS

Dazzling diamonds are always in style. Add a little something sparkly to your spring ear stack with these Bezel Lab Grown Diamond Huggies from the Canadian jewelry brand Mejuri. Crafted from 14-karat gold with bezel-set, lab-grown diamonds, the stylish mini hoops also happen to be a part of the company's Diamond Week Sale, which sees all diamonds given a temporary 15 per cent discount from April 2-9.
