From Nike to Balmain, Vogue Editors Gladly Purchased These Items in March
The pieces she and her sister produce are the pinnacles of American minimalism and luxury. They are often smart, timeless, and contemporary. This jacket is sporty and practical, with a fit that borderlines perfection.

March is my birthday month, so I went a bit overboard with the “treat yourself” mentality… Plus, a few days in Paris certainly didn’t help my shopping habit. I picked up these gorgeous Marni earrings at 50% off from Galeries Lafayette, and they have already earned me a handful of compliments at the Vogue HQ.

After some trial and error with getting back onto the vitamin-C train, I was very impressed with Strivectin’s serum, which is sort of like a retinol-vitamin-C hybrid. After a week of using it, I’m already starting to notice my most recent dark spots fade, and my skin looks noticeably brighter without any of the usual irritation that can come with using a new active ingredient.
Also, I’ve been looking for SPF protection that doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin. Creamy sunscreens are great for colder months but as temperatures warm-up, I’m switching it up. The new Sun Milk feels so weightless I forget I have it on—the only telltale sign being a sunkissed glow that feels just as good as it looks.
And these shoes might be my comfiest pair. I’ve been dressing them up/down any chance I get, whether that’s with a tiered mesh skirt or cargo pants. They not only look fun, but they also make walking way more enjoyable thanks to the super cushy midsoles.

So-called “max-cushion” shoes—think pillowy, floaty concoctions that promise the sensation of flowing, low-impact strides—have been huge in the running world for the last few years, and I’ve welcomed most of the options I’ve tried. None of them, though, have delivered the visceral, lightweight joy of On’s new Cloudmonster shoes. Right out of the box, walking down the hall of my apartment with these on my feet had me smiling almost in disbelief at the bounce and the cushion. Already my go-to shoes for running, yes, but for airports, traveling, exploring, hanging out. Total game-changers.

While we wait for New York to decide if it’s still winter or indeed spring, I’ve found a new transitional wardrobe staple. Enter the denim shirt, which I stole straight from my grandmother’s closet (no joke!). I’ve paired it with black pleated pants, layered it with a white tee or light sweater, and even used the oversized shirt as a jacket on one of those mild March days. While I was lucky enough to find mine, there are many similarly timeless options on the market right now.

My hair is thankful that I’m finally stopping the notion that hair hold has to be stiff, hard, or sticky. For all-day hold and combatting stubborn flyaways, Cantu’s wax stick has been an essential step for my ponytails and updos. Unlike water-based hair gels, this doesn’t make my hair curl up, nor does it weigh my locks down. Honestly not sure how I lived without it.

Last month’s Ssense sale spurred me to purchase something I’ve been eying for years: Margiela Tabis. And not just any pair of Tabis, but a darling pair of slingback Tabi pumps, which feel much more my style than the ubiquitous boots, and they will be perfect for the warmer months!

I’m beyond excited to pack up my turtlenecks and whip out the crop tops. At a pop-up shop for The Folklore, I saw this gorgeous top hanging on a rack and it was love at first sight. Yes, it’s technically a bikini top, but I plan on wearing it with high-waist pants once the weather warms up.

Denim Forum sure knows how to make a good jean. The Arlo style is true to size (for those who solely rely on online shopping), comfy, and just a good classic straight-legged denim that’s perfect for everyday wear. It has been a go-to this past month.
Lauren Valenti, Senior Beauty Editor
A year ago, I lost my grandma Agnes Valenti. As part of the healing process, and to pay tribute to the immeasurable impact she’s had me, I wanted to use some money she left me towards a piece of jewelry. I immediately thought of Hudson-based sustainable jewelry designer Gabrielle Valenti, who serendipitously shares our last name (fate!) and makes the most mesmerizing, sculptural gold pieces. Just in time for spring, and my grandma’s birthday at the end of April, Gabrielle crafted a custom 14-karat gold flower ring punctuated by a moonstone, associated with inner growth and strength, and a heart-shaped peridot, which is the stone of compassion. It’s so uniquely beautiful and reflective of my Grandma Aggie’s legacy. I love looking at it throughout the day as a reminder she’s always with me.

Early in March, I found a juniper dinner jacket—a Balmain runway sample from several seasons ago—at my favorite vintage store in Paris, Plus Que Parfait. I’ve never particularly gravitated to Balmain but the simple, structured piece is as versatile as it is handsome. Over the past few weeks, I’ve worn it with a turtleneck, a tie, a T-shirt, and even nothing underneath. A current version is available to transition you from both winter to spring and day to night.

Yes, it’s possible to get longer, thicker lashes without falsies and extensions. Hence why Vogue readers couldn’t get enough of GrandeLash. It’s a serum that prolongs the growth phases of eyelashes and darkens them.
