For the first time in a winter-long while, our anonymous shopping data from the past month featured nary a heavy jacket nor a fuzzy slipper. Even Quince’s cult-favorite cashmere failed to cozy up in the usual collection of shopping carts. Which only means one thing: Spring fever is heating up.
Marine-grade outdoor dining chairs triumphed over the usual ol’ reliable indoor seats in sales. Beachy short-sleeve sweater sets stole hearts while snuggly matching sweatsuits avoided carts. To top it off, a juicy citrus Black-owned perfume became a certified February Black History Month best seller. So, if you’re curious about what is and will be hot on the block this equinox and beyond, peruse through the 29 upcoming slides. Some may dazzle you (hello, Drew Barrymore lavender toaster); others may bore you (we still love you $12 rubber cord organizers) — but like every month, there’s a little something for everyone.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag Large
If there’s one thing Lululemon knows how to do, it’s craft a cult-favorite item that sells out in days — and not for lack of inventory. Although the beloved belt bag’s stock ran dry in January, we caught the activewear brand refilling its shelves to the brim with fan-favorite fanny packs. Score one for yourself to see what the hype is all about.

Brown Girl Jane Lamu Eau De Parfum
We proudly crowned Black-owned beauty and wellness brand Brown Girl Jane our 2020 Beauty Innovator of the Year — so, of course, we gave it a shoutout in our collection of Black-owned shops available at Nordstrom. Its best-selling Lamu Eau De Parfum presents notes of coastal sage, citrus, and sandalwood. To put it more simply, it’s a blissful Kenyan beach in a bottle.

Loftie Smart Alarm Clock
Say goodbye to bedtime blue light and abrupt early morning alarms with the gentle wake-up call known as Loftie. It’s got two-phase alarms for slow risers, a touchscreen for easy navigation, meditations for winding down, and more snooze-perfect features. With daylight savings on the way, it’s no wonder the Loftie was a February top-bought product.

Satisfyer Satisfyer Pro 2 Air Pulse Stimulator In Violet
Revered by PinkCherry reviewers for its “wonderful sensation,” “extra stimulation,” and, “10 different settings,” the Satisfyer Pro 2 is the internet’s hottest sex toy. Satisfyer’s product continues to dominate our anonymous shopping data charts month after month, and February was no exception.

Parachute Linen Box Quilt
Our list of the internet’s best sustainable bedding brands reached a whopping 32 (and counting) retailers in February — and Parachute’s breezy linen quilt found its way into plenty of Refinery29 readers’ spring-ready carts. But according to one on-site Parachute reviewer, it’s excellent year-round, ” It keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it’s the absolute must have!”

Mansur Gavriel M Frame Baguette
After getting hooked on Mansur Gavriel thanks to one bucket bag purchase, our Fashion Affiliate Writer Vivien Lee made a beeline toward the brand’s elegant Frame bag whilst ’twas on sale for Presidents’ Day weekend. And get this: It’s still 30% off when you use code FRESH30 right now at checkout.

Mercury Row Dahmen Task Chair
Stop the presses and alert the media (aka, us): February’s top-bought office chair was not the chic Corrigan Studio Brister swivel seat nor was it Branch’s ergonomic best seller. Instead, Refinery29 readers scooped up quite a few of Mercury Row’s Dahmen Task Chair — and understandably so. It features an affordable under-$200 price tag, understated contemporary design, and a choice of a stationary base or wheels for optimal mobility.

BDG Y2K Low-Rise Cargo Pant
So our deals writer Merecedes Viera’s favorite 53%-off and now reader-favorite jeans are practically out of stock (size 24 it’s your lucky day), but slouchy low-rise cargos are the next best thing. Plus, with 939 on-site reviews and a 4.5-out-of-5-star rating, we think its safe to believe the hype.

Luna Rechargeable Vibrator
“Rechargeable” is in the product title because this hot-pink wand will last you a good long while. No dead batteries or slowly withering vibrations — simply powerful (but quiet) motors, eight unique intensities, and a measly $20 dent in your budget.

FP Movement Free People Hit The Slopes Fleece
Members of the R29 Shopping team tried another Free People all-star jacket in February — this time around we took the aprés-ski route. I applauded the button-up for its “perfect amount of slouch.” Our senior travel writer Venus Wong deemed it an “eye-catching jacket.” And our senior beauty writer Karina Hoshikawa gushed, “Best of all, it’s cozy enough to keep me warm on a brisk walk but breathable and light enough not to make me feel super sweaty.”

Beautiful By Drew Barrymore
When Drew Barrymore adds a new colorway to her Refinery29 reader-favorite homeware line (available at Walmart), we drop everything to share the news. For some, it’s just a simple lavender toaster; to the girls that get it, it’s a rush of serotonin that elevates kitchen counters in seconds.

Quince Carry-On Hard Shell Suitcase
Apparently, when the ever-growing online marketplace Quince isn’t dishing out affordable cashmere and lovely linen duvet cover sets, the retailer is…making amazing suitcases? These carry-ons have impressed travelers for a while now (to the point of selling out on-site for ages) and got a long-awaited restock in February. Run, don’t walk because the tan colorway has already said bon voyage.

Kent Organic Cotton Bikini
Kent’s organic undies measure up to Knickey’s, Parade’s, and Everlane’s breathable threads. Not only that, but they also go up to size 3XL and sit softly, just a tad below the waist. One could argue that they’re a hot-weather must-have (for obvious sweaty-crotch reasons).

AllModern Stella Outdoor Dining Armchair (Set of 2)
We’ve said it time and time again in this roundup, but spring is on the way, and it shows. Last month’s dining-chair spotlight shined bright over AllModern’s sleek outdoor set. From their dynamic lines to each’s marine-grade polymer, these seats might just last you a lifetime.

Golde Coconut Collagen Boost
In honor of Black History Month, we asked actress and entrepreneur Ayesha Curry about her favorite Black-owned brands available at Amazon. According to Curry, Golde’s vegan, plant-based Collagen Boost “provides all of the key nutrients to help your skin, hair, and nails.” She also added, “A scoop in my morning coffee, and I’m good to go!”

Sijo Home Eucalyptus Cooling Comforter
I tested out and loved Sijo’s airy comforter awhile back, but it shimmied its way back into the reader-favorite spotlight these past 30 days. Blame it on the eucalyptus Lyocell fibers, strategic anti-clump stitching, or any one of this comforter’s other innovative attributes.

Adidas Gazelle Shoes
Adidas’ kicks left our Senior Affiliate Strategist Kate Spencer utterly impressed for the past few months. So much so, she made a pair her January MVP: “I snagged this green pair to add a tiny pop of color to my very neutral wardrobe and am very pleased with my purchase. If you’re not a green fan, the brand has got about 12 colorways to choose from on its site right now!”

One satisfied Merit Beauty reviewer writes, “Perfect product great for older skin. Good for oily and dry. I also love using it on my lips as well. It gives a very natural flush to the skin and adds back some nice glow after using any powder that may have mattified skin too much.”
