Sophie Donovan's Spring Edit

“At the start of every new season, I get a serious case of the ‘shoppies’ — AKA the desire to overhaul my entire wardrobe. But this spring, I'm vowing to be sensible; to invest in pieces that will work hard in my wardrobe, be that a cotton midi dress I can wear both to the office and brunch, or a top that'll work with skirts, trousers and bermuda shorts. In terms of my colour palette, I'm not yet over butter yellow, especially when paired with chocolate brown (she's a summer hue too) and pops of baby blue. And, when it comes to beauty, I've just about worked out my ride-or-dies, so I'm prioritising a restock of those. The Dr Jart+ toner? An acne-prone girl's best pal." – Sophie Donovan, Senior Commerce Writer
