Re-emerging from lockdown can't come soon enough—here are the pieces we'll be wearing upon our return to the outside world. 

Spring is here, the birds are chirping, and flowers are blooming. And with catwalks popping up everywhere from London to New York, we’re feeling inspired to ditch our lockdown loungewear in favour of key new pieces.

With the warmer weather approaching I’m already plotting my spring/summer wardrobe—an indulgence in nudes, whites, lights, and linens.

I’m feeling nostalgic and what feels like forever dreaming of throwing on my jeans, slides, and a scoop neck, and catching the afternoon sun and a whiskey sour with my girlfriends at a bar. Casual, comfortable and classic. By my side will be my CEE CLEAR mini purse, my favourite accessory for when I’m on-the go.
