plan your buy | step into spring

Uncategorized

February 23, 2026

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day and today we are introducing all things Step into Spring… my latest capsule collection with Shop Avara!!

Launching in just TWO DAYS, I like to call this new debut Optimistic Outfitting – silhouettes and styles that instantly brighten your mood the second you put them on and get you set for spring with a brand new closet of head-to-toe colorful cuteness!

Fresh beginnings + new arrivals are nearly here, and y’all… launching this Wednesday, February 25th!! Step Into Spring is truly a celebration of a full on spring symphony = feminine tailoring, pretty prints and more, vibrant color stories and those perfectly polished silhouettes that make getting dressed feel FUN again. If you’re ready for a wardrobe refresh it’s time to start building your buy because this collection was designed to help you spring forward in ultimate style.

As always, I wanted this launch to feel versatile, wearable and packed with confidence-boosting pieces you can dress up, dress down, pack for a getaway, wear to brunch, style for work and repeat all season long. And yes, you’ll see those exclusive Avara designs sprinkled throughout [you KNOW those have my whole heart] which means they are special edition and super limited!

Now let’s plan your buy…

Spring = officially considered dress season and we absolutely delivered = P.S. it’s my favorite category this go-around as well!

From standout silhouettes like the Jolee, Avery and Charley Dresses to effortless beauties like the Anyssa, Lucille and Channing Dresses, there is truly something for everyone. Whether you love a classic tailored moment or something with a little more flow and movement, these styles were created to make you feel polished but never overdone.

And don’t skip the playful pieces — the Jayla + Ashton Dresses and Mitzi Romper bring that fun, flirty energy that just feels right when the temps start rising. If you’re a dress girl [like me], this is where you’ll want to start building your cart ASAP…

Now we all know that pretty tops are the backbone of every spring wardrobe and this lineup makes styling super easy + efficient!!

The Addison Top, Jess Vest and Marilyn Top bring that femme tailoring moment I always gravitate toward — structured but still soft. Then you’ve got everyday go-to pieces like the Dani, Mia and Miranda Tops that pair perfectly with denim, shorts or your favorite white jeans. Need I say more?? They pack a punch of perfect pastel hues + colorful brights and will have you getting all the compliments day after day.

And for those statement-making days? The Alicia, Brendan and Bradley Tops give you color, detail, and that little extra something that makes people stop and ask, “Where did you get that?” Something we all love to hear!!!

Layering season isn’t quite over, and these pieces transition beautifully = you know what I’m thinking… jackets made for warm weather magic are almost here!

The Jesse Jacket and Annabella Jacket [both exclusive designs by me and the Avara team!] are perfect for those cooler mornings, and they add instant polish to even the simplest outfit. Pair them with the Hailey Jeans or Laura Jeans and you’ve got an elevated everyday uniform that works from carpool to cocktails and everywhere in between…

Moving right along to the main show… the SETS! You know we always bring the fun with outfits that you can wear in so many ways for spring and into summer… there is just something about a perfectly coordinated look that feels intentional and chic without trying too hard and of course looks INCREDIBLE on.

The Lynlee, Reena and Marney Sets bring that easy, breezy energy we all crave this time of year. And the Greer Set and Pippa Set? Absolute standouts. Whether you wear them together or mix and match, they give you so many styling options — which makes them such smart additions to your spring wardrobe and the price point says you need at least one, maybe two.

Finally, let’s be real… no look is complete without the finishing touches!! AKA the accessories…

From the Jessie Bag, Beth + Robbie Bag, and Alexis Bag to the Arianna Heels, Notice Sneakers, and Caroline Sandals, these are the pieces that tie everything together from head to toe at Avara, the one and done spring style destination. Add in the sunnies and earrings, and you’ve got those final details that take your outfit from cute to completely styled in no time flat!

There you have it… if this doesn’t have you daydreaming of spring, NOTHING will!!! If I can give you one piece of advice — PLAN YOUR BUY before we go live Wednesday morning. This collection has something for everyone, and so many of these pieces are extremely limited and will sell out QUICKLY. Make your list, narrow down your must-haves, and be ready when we launch on 2.25.26. As always, I’ll be giving you the full try-on take of every single item on launch day so you can follow along the fun on Instagram for those last minute looks, too.

Spring is about fresh starts, brighter days, and stepping into the new season feeling confident. I poured so much heart into this one with Avara, and I cannot wait to see how YOU style it. Now tell me… what’s already in your cart??
