Sheer socks
Adorned with all the staples of an Italian dinner table, the La Dolce Vita socks ($22) from Stock & Belle will transport you straight to Italy. Pair them with your favorite red shoe — and then accessorize with an Aperol spritz!
Reusable bag
Reusable bags are a fun way to express yourself, and Baggu’s playful prints have totally changed the game. This sweet strawberry design is right on trend — perfect for grocery store runs, farmers’ markets, and more — all while helping reduce plastic waste. Shop this style and more at Falling Into Place for $18 a bag.
Flash tape
Styling tape is a year-round essential, but it’s especially handy in warmer months when tops get flowier. It’s a discreet fix that keeps wardrobe malfunctions at bay — so you can stay secure and chic. Get yours at A Fitting Place for $12.

These adorable gingham bunny crackers are guaranteed to bring smiles to your Easter table. Each one holds a mint green tissue paper hat for children to wear, a joke, and a seasonal eraser. Sold in a pack of six and available in five colors, pick up a set at Stovall Collection for $36.
