The month of March brings the promise of many things: warmer weather, fun travel plans, an excuse to give your home a spring refresh, and much more. Whether you plan to bask on a faraway beach or dive into local events, we’ve rounded up 19 FINDS from some of our favorite local businesses to help you celebrate the change of seasons!
SPRING WARDROBE REFRESH
Earrings
Spring break is the best time to debut new, playful earrings like these tie-dye clay arches that double as little works of art you can wear! Besides being stunning, they’ve been hand mixed, designed, cut, baked, sanded, and assembled, making each pair super unique and custom. Find a pair for $30 at Vinnie Louise.
Platform sandals
We’ve found your ideal warmer-weather shoe, thanks to L.A. Green’s vegan raffia wedges ($59.99). This two-band platform heel with a squared-off toe is the perfect choice for any occasion, with its neutral hue and its ability to be dressed up or dressed down to fit the mood.
Dress
If you’re packing for a warm spring break getaway, this adorable blue and white dress is a must! We love it for its versatility: toss it on with flip-flops for a breezy walk down to the beach, pair it with sneakers for a day of shopping, or dress it up with cute wedges for family dinner in the evenings. Find it for $128 at K. McCarthy.
Swimsuit
We love a color-block moment, especially in the form of a flattering yet super cute swimsuit. Featuring a classy one-shoulder style with a chic side tie to accentuate your waist, you’ll wear this shimmery suit all summer long. Find it for $158 at Square-D Clothing.
Top
This classic striped button-down will become your go-to wardrobe staple all summer long and beyond. It’s versatile enough to simply throw on unbuttoned over your swimsuit for the walk down to the beach, or it pairs perfectly with white jeans and wedges for a casual lunch. Find it for $100 at Hemline.
Hair clips
We’re longtime fans of Teleties ponytail holders, so when the brand came out with hair clips, we were already sold. Made from a bendable, comfortable, and nonbreakable material, each large hair clip provides a strong all-day hold for all hair types. But the best part is the fresh, fun spring colors — the perfect hair accessory to brighten up any look. Find the large clips for $14.99 each at Crue.
TRAVEL NECESSITIES
Crossbody bag
One of our no-brainer travel necessities is a hands-free crossbody bag that’s as cute as it is functional. Drape it over any ensemble for ease and convenience while still looking chic. Available in cognac, black, or white, you can find the options below for $44 each at Habit in Green Hills.
Moodmask kit
Traveling can wreak havoc on your skin, so it’s important to stock up on effective skincare treatments before embarking on your big adventures. We plan to snatch up this masking kit from Private Edition ($15), as it’s created for all types of skin concerns. It features masks that moisturize, rejuvenate, and fight acne so you can stay looking and feeling your best while on the go.
Cooler bag
If you’ve got a road trip on the horizon, packing plenty of snacks is key. Stuff this cute handbag-inspired, zippered bag with all your favorites to keep your food fresh no matter where you’re going. The outside pocket is perfect for packing napkins and utensils, and the easy-to-clean, water-resistant fabric makes for easy and functional usage. Pick one up for $30 at Hot Pink.
Sneakers
When you’re on the move, you want a comfortable AND stylish shoe — that’s where this chic sneaker from Oak Hall comes in. This polished, vegan leather shoe ($140) with a CloudTec outsole would pair perfectly with your favorite travel outfit.
Makeup remover wipes
When you’re packing and traveling, efficiency is the name of the game. That’s why we reach for easy skincare products, like these makeup wipes, for quick and streamlined skin maintenance. Made with antibacterial coconut oil, these wipes will seamlessly melt away face and eye makeup and cleanse your skin quickly without irritating or stripping it of its natural oils. Pick up a set for $22 at The Cosmetic Market.
Travel storage bag
We just recently named hanging storage as essential for stress-free travel. Safely store makeup, jewelry, skincare essentials, any assortment of cosmetics, hair accessories, or vitamins and other medicines in the handy little pockets, and hang it up for full access to all your necessities. When you’re not traveling, you can use it at home for all the same things! Find this one for $55 at Nashville Trunk & Bag.
FOR THE HOME
Rug
Stephanie Sabbe of Sabbe Interior Design has a dreamy storefront in Belle Meade that we just can’t get enough of. Her shop carries beautiful textiles, art, and other home decor items, but we’re especially loving her selection of antique Turkish rugs. The rug in the center of the photo below is a 3.1-by-5.1-foot antique Turkish rug with a creamy background and gorgeous pops of blue and chocolate brown that would bring texture and warmth to any space. Find it for $450 at Heirloom Artifacts.
Champagne flutes
If you’re ready for “rosé on the patio” season, you aren’t alone — we’re dreaming of patio cocktails with friends and family, and what better way to sip than with these fun rainbow glass flutes? With color options in hot pink, bubblegum pink, orange, purple, olive, and more, these glasses are perfect for entertaining or just relaxing on your porch. Find them for $16 each at Rock Paper Scissors.
Book
Cheery pastel hues and a decadent array of sweet treats — need we say more? Whether you’re a foodie, an art lover, or you just appreciate a beautiful coffee table book, this gorgeous hardcover is a breath of fresh air and instantly brightens any space. Pick up a copy of Delicious Metropolis for $30 at Parnassus Books.
Tulips
Nothing says “spring is coming!” like a big bouquet of fresh blooms. The Tulip Trio from Bloom Nashville is sure to put you and your guests in a good mood with these breathtaking lavender, pink, and yellow tulips. Whether displayed on your kitchen island, dining table, or anywhere else throughout your home, they will bring beauty and light to your space and set the tone for spring. Arrangements start at $100.
Picture frame
With the changing of seasons, we love to switch up our family photos and frames for an easy and quick revamp. These hand-woven rattan frames ($32 each) from Spruce in Brentwood are the perfect way to freshen up your space and show off the best memories with family and friends.
KIDS’ SPRING BREAK
Bathing suit
If you have kids, part of the fun of spring break shopping is finding the most adorable swimsuits for your little ones. We were immediately drawn to this cute bikini with short puff sleeves, a butterfly and flower print, and a reversible bikini bottom. An added bonus? The fabric has a UPF50+ protection factor, which is a protective shield against the sun’s UV rays. Find the suit for $65 at Patch.
Hat
The only thing cuter than a baby on a beach is a baby on a beach in a cute hat. We’re partial to Purple Butterfly’s reversible hat ($20) that keeps your little one shielded from the sun while staying stylish. The shop offers free monogramming to make it personalized and more special.
Happy spring, Nashville!
