As we prepare for May and the inevitable mayhem that accompanies the Met Gala, we're taking a quick pause to reflect on the month of April—is it just us or did it really fly by? While we're still not quite sure of what to make of the weather and everyday continues to be an ongoing battle with the question what are we supposed to wear? at the forefront, we have warm weather on our minds. We are desperately craving spring and already trying to make plans for summer—everything is truly moving so fast. This craving is reflected in the ways we've been shopping: swimwear, wedding season pieces, pops of color, and kitten heels begging to be paired with little dresses and skirts. We're taking it one day at a time, but manifesting through the things we pick up along the way. While it might feel like everything is changing all at once, Coveteur editors being indulgent avid shoppers will always be a constant—and that's honestly weirdly comforting to me.
Ahead, the fashion finds and beauty picks that we coveted throughout the month of April.
Fashion:
Jandéqene Corvette Dress
"Every woman needs a red silk dress. This one from Jandeque is the perfect silhouette. Lightly body-hugging in all the right places, but with wispy and romantic details for a fairy-esque fit." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Parker Thatch Jack Bag
"This is my new carry-everything bag, whether I'm toting around my laptop and gym shoes to work or piling my toiletries and books into it as an in-flight carry-on. The soft black leather has the perfect slouchy shape, and it looks chic with every outfit without sacrificing on space (it holds a shockingly large amount of things)." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Sau Lee Gillian Lace Dress
"Sau Lee designer Cheryl Leung makes gorgeous pieces inspired by her US-meets-Hong-Kong upbringing, and this sheer white late dress is at the top of my list to wear to a chic summer soirée." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Fruity Booty Scoop Double Layer Top
"I love a mint shade for spring at the moment, and this scoop double layer top from fruity booty feels both practical and a sweet layering piece for the warmer months." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Franco Sarto Pura Slingback
"Spring has sprung, and suddenly I’m looking for every excuse to wear a kitten heel again. I always come back to Franco Sarto, who makes chic, wearable heels I can actually walk in. And the best part about these? They’re currently 30% off at Famous Footwear." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Frankies Bikinis Reece Satin Bikini Top
"I’m already starting to think about swimwear sets, even though it’s only the beginning of spring. But honestly, it’s never too early… because the best ones always sell out way too fast. Currently, I’ve snagged this one from Free People as it has that elevated feel I always look for in swimwear. The satin finish makes it feel a bit more special than your standard bikini, and the halter shape is super flattering." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Selezza Dazzle Mini Dress
"Shopping for my bridal wardrobe has been a struggle, so when I found a unique brand with the most beautiful pieces, it felt like a sign. I hadn’t seen any other bride wear this, and it was the perfect going-out dress—from the low back to the sequins. Not to mention, I danced in it for hours and it was surprisingly comfortable. The dress arriving at my doorstep the morning of my bachelorette party? A true miracle." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
BAOBAB Corsica Top
"With summer coming up way quicker than I expected, I’ve been refreshing Baobab’s new arrivals every week. I love finding pieces that have multiple uses—I can wear this as a bathing suit cover up or style it for a chic dinner moment with shorts. The colorful resin stones are chefs kiss." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Cult Gaia Carly Sandal
"Cult Gaia coming out with a bridal collection is probably the greatest news during my bridal era. When I saw these new shoes—a twist on their classic Calla Lily style—I had to have them. Calla lilies are the main character at my wedding this summer, so this feels like a match made in heaven." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Za Zewelz Nova Minimal Cuff
"I've been slowly upgrading my jewelry rotation and this cuff makes the perfect statement. I love how it feels like abstract art, futuristic, and subtle all at the same time." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Puma Speedcat Sneakers
"I feel shoes serve as the perfect opportunity to add a pop of color to your look and red sneakers are having their moment this season. I love how these Puma's feel old school, have a slim silhouette, and are genuinely comfy." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Silpada Clean Flow Ring
"I'm the type of girl who never takes her rings off, for better and often for worse—so, I'm working on changing that. Part of this evolution includes building a larger rotation and swapping out rings based on my vibe and my look. This Silpada ring has been the perfect addition to my collection—it's simple, goes with everything, and still features some fun wavy details." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Beauty:
House Of Bō Xuxú Fragrance
"I've been a fan of House Of Bō's lush, gender-neutral scents for awhile now, but the new Xu Xú fragrance has jumped to the top spot for me. A sweet blend of clementine, white musks and Mexican vanilla that fades into a damask rose and earl grey tea base, it's a gourmand scent that feels flirty, yet sophisticated. I've been wearing it non-stop since I received it and each time, it gives me a dopamine boost." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Celine Matte Lip Balm
"As a girl who doesn’t wear lip gloss, Celine’s tinted matte lip balms are a dream come true for moments where you want a little something, but prefer a more muted look." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Biodance Bio Collagen Mask (4 Pack)
"I finally tried the Biodance collagen mask everyone’s been talking about—and I get the hype now. After running through a full pack, this overnight mask (you leave it on for 3–4 hours) has become my go-to when I want my skin to look really good with minimal effort." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Chris McMillan The Lightweight Glassy Hair Oil Mist
"I’m usually wary of hair oils because I never want that greasy, weighed-down look—but this one from Chris McMillan completely changed my mind. The mist applicator delivers a light, even veil that leaves my strands with a healthy, glossy finish. I've found it especially great for refreshing a blowout, instantly smoothing frizz, and restoring shine." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Creed Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum
"If you’re like me and love a floral fragrance but still want that edge you usually get from something muskier, this Creed fragrance is for you. You still get the floral right away, but it’s not one of those scents that stays overly delicate. As it wears, a warmer undertone comes through, giving it more depth and keeping it from feeling too light or predictable." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
HigherDose Red Light Showerhead Filter
"Red light has always been one of those buzzwords I couldn’t ignore—I’ve tried the masks, the saunas, all of it. But when I came across a showerhead filter with built in red light, I was instantly curious. Filtration and full body red light? That’s my kind of efficiency. Manifesting longer hair and glowing skin." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Rare Beauty Brow Gel
"I’m incredibly picky when it comes to my brows. I had heard great things about this brow gel, but I was worried it wouldn’t be as heavy duty as I like, and I was happily very wrong. My brows look like I just got a fresh lamination, and they don’t budge. Consider me converted." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Armani Beauty Cheek Tint Wear Liquid Blush
"I own these in probably every single color and no matter which one I reach for on any given day, at least one person always asks me what I'm wearing. I mostly lead towards this warm terracotta and the warm rich brown, but when the weather finally remains consistently warm, I know I'll be reaching for the pinks." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne
"My signature scent forever and the one that I get the most compliments on. I just love the balance of zest and aromatic herbs. It's unlike any other fragrance that I own and any fragrance that I've ever smelled." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Face Mask
"As a dry-skinned gal, I've tried a good handful of overnight masks—but I always return to this one. My skin just seems to love the squalane and I love how the consistency feels on my skin. So much so that I sometimes layer it over my moisturizer during the day." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
