Simple Things I’m Loving This Spring
Small favorites welcoming the new season…
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve started noticing the small signs that spring is finally arriving.
The sun is out a little longer.
The air feels softer.
Even the evenings are beginning to stretch out just a bit.
After a long winter, that shift feels refreshing.
I’m someone who likes to welcome a new season slowly. I don’t do big seasonal overhauls. Instead, I notice the small things that make everyday life feel lighter and more enjoyable.
A few simple kitchen tools.
Something comfortable to wear on a sunny afternoon.
A small touch of color that brightens the day.
Here are a few things I’ve been loving lately as we begin to move into spring.

A Wicker Market Basket
I’ve been bringing a handwoven wicker shopping basket with me lately when I run errands or stop by the market.
It’s sturdy, reusable, and feels a little more pleasant than juggling plastic bags. I also like that it slows me down a bit and makes simple things like picking up groceries feel a little more intentional.

A Dutch Oven That Handles Almost Everything
A good enameled cast-iron Dutch oven is one of those kitchen tools that earns its spot on the stove.
I use mine constantly for soups, stews, and one-pot meals like the lentil and rice soup I shared last week. It holds heat beautifully and makes cooking feel simple.

Kitchen Towels That Actually Work
I never thought I’d have strong opinions about kitchen towels, but here we are.
These 100% cotton kitchen towels are thick, absorbent, and hold up well after a lot of washing. They’re the kind of everyday item you reach for constantly without thinking about it.

A Simple Piece of Jewelry
Lately, I’ve been wearing this aventurine gemstone beaded choker necklacewith simple outfits.
It’s delicate, easy to wear, and adds just enough interest without feeling overdone.

A Silk Scarf for a Pop of Spring Color
When the seasons change, I like adding small touches of color to my outfits.
A lightweight silk scarf is one of the easiest ways to do that. It instantly brightens a simple outfit and feels very spring-like without much effort.

Sneakers for Spring Walks
Now that the days are longer, I’ve been getting outside for more walks.
Nothing intense. Just fresh air and a little movement.
These Sam Edelman Layla sneakers have been comfortable, easy to wear, and perfect for casual walks or errands.

A Few Flowers Around the House
As the light changes this time of year, I always want a little more color around the house.
These lavender hydrangea silk flowers have been a simple way to add that without worrying about watering or replacing them.

A Soft Everyday Eyeshadow Palette
I don’t wear makeup every day, but when I do, I tend to reach for soft neutral shades.
This Tarte Tartelette In Bloom palette has a nice mix of matte and shimmer tones that work well for everyday looks.

A Comfortable Outfit for Errands or Lounging
This striped matching shirt and shorts set has been great for quick errands, relaxing around the house, or days when I want to be comfortable but still feel put together.
It’s lightweight and easy, which is exactly what I’m looking for as the weather warms up.

A Straw Hat for Sunny Days
With the sun out more often, I’ve started reaching for a straw hat again when I head outside.
It’s simple, classic, and perfect for walks or afternoons spent enjoying the warmer weather.

Welcoming the Season
For me, spring isn’t about starting over or changing everything all at once.
It’s more about noticing what feels fresh again.
A little more sunlight.
A walk outside.
Something simple that makes the day feel a bit brighter.
If spring is starting to show up where you are, too, I hope you’re finding small ways to enjoy it.
xx, Diana
