It’s the Best of March 2024, what a busy month! The weather felt like four seasons in 30 days. Luckily we were busy keeping warm with thoughts of sunnier days. This month you all loved our A.M. and P.M. skincare routines. We hope you found a few new things to try. Our new series “A Month in Style” also hit the mark. There’s something about seeing an outfits on other people that’s motivating to get dressed. We’re sharing your favorite purchases from the month of March and a few of ours. From pocket pharmacies to sporty sandals, it’s safe to say we are all ready for warmer weather.
In case you missed it, here are last month’s Best of February picks.

Your Top Picks for March
Here are some of the top items you loved from the last month.
1 // These SCHUTZ Enola sporty sandals will get you compliments! They have an elevated Birkenstock look, and the gold bamboo buckles really dress them up. Christa has them in black, but they come in 22 colors. Fit is TTS, and they are comfortable. They work for wide and narrow feet since the buckle straps are adjustable.
2 // Megan refilled her “pocket pharmacy” for a weekend getaway and you all loved it! It’s an easy way to bring just what you need when you travel. Perfect to toss in your backpack for a day of sightseeing or day in the amusement park. Definitely a travel must-have!
3 // There were two athleisure favorites this month. Christa’s collared sweatshirt and Megan’s side zip sweatshirt, both on Amazon by ANRABESS, are winning looks. They run big (we both sized down), and they wash well. And both come in lots of colors–something for everyone!
4 // Megan’s FAVORITE denim by far! The J.Crew vintage slim straight come in 11 washes, in regular/petite/tall sizes. We love a slim straight style, the leg isn’t too full making these a very slimming silhouette. They’re especially great for those who were sad to give up their skinny jeans (or those who are still hanging on to them!).
5 // Stripes for the win! You all loved this olive stripe t-shirt with the cute little puff sleeves from Tuckernuck. Comes in 7 colors/patterns; it’s a perfect spring layering piece. For a more affordable option, try the under $15 shirt from Amazon; comes in 17 colors/patterns and is also perfect for layering. How to style it: Pair either shirt with the J.Crew jeans, and just add your favorite cardigan, jacket, blazer or statement necklace.

Our Top 5 for March
Here are a few things from last month that we definitely think deserve another look, in case you missed them the first time. They’re items we bought and love, and we’re sharing them with you because friends share the good stuff!
Christa’s Picks
1 // You’ve seen this necklace with many outfits. It was time to give it a moment on the blog! It’s under $15 and it’s my most worn piece of jewelry!
2 // You’ve also seen these white jeans a lot. I searched high and low for a pair I loved last year and these jeans from LLBean were the winners, and are still my favorites. So many brands have not gotten the memo that we don’t want to see through them, and we don’t want to see the pockets…the LLBean brand smartly uses nude fabric for the pockets so nothing shows. They’re a great fit, TTS, wash well. Highly recommend them. Best part…only $70. I’m 5’4″ and wear the petite for more of an ankle length fit.
3 // It’s time to get your feet sandal ready! I’ve been using these moisturizing socks after I shower, a few days a week, 20-30 minutes. Slip them on with your slippers while you get ready. Voila! Smoother, softer feet!
4 // These sandals were a favorite last year, and again this spring. Add a little shimmer and glam to an everyday look. They’re still available on Amazon, and come in black, too. Very sparkly – better in person than in the picture so give ’em a try!
5 // This dress is so ME! I can’t wait to wear it this spring, and it’s probably the one I’ll wear for my son’s graduation in May. He’s graduating from University of Oklahoma, so this lightweight, shorter style will be perfect in Oklahoma’s warmer weather! The dress is a little pricey, but it’s something you can wear anywhere, anytime, making it’s “cost per wear” worth the splurge!

Megan’s Picks
1 // Natura Bisse Diamond Cocoon Sheer is amazing. I’ve been telling everyone I see that they need this product in their life. Part primer, part tinted moisturizer — this stuff is perfect layered under foundation or on its own for a light makeup day.
2 // Rag & Bone Court Sneakers have been my go to this month. They are very comfortable and go with everything. Had to re-share as several colors are currently on sale. Also, check Nordstrom Rack, I’ve seen a few random pairs in mine recently.
3 // Clave V. Grande Fanny is my new spring bag. Love the versatility of wearing it as a crossbody, fanny pack or like a regular purse. Of course, I ordered an Amazon strap for it, too.
4 // BLINK Eye Drops – Can you get addicted to eye drops? Asking for a friend. I have one in my car, one in my purse, one next to my bed, a back up in the medicine cabinet; it’s real ya’ll. I love my eye drops.
5 // Amazon Striped Tee, wear it with jeans and a blazer, khakis, white jeans, jean skirt… pretty much everything. In solidarity with Princess Kate I’ve been wearing mine a lot. If you are more of a solids gal, this Amazon version comes in LOTS of colors, under $15.
