When it comes to looking polished every single day, no one is quite as proficient at it as Jessica Skye. An influencer she may be, but what you mightn’t know about Skye is that she has the fashion clout to match, having held various roles within the industry before she found social media stardom. It’s this intrinsic knowledge and experience that sets Skye apart from her contemporaries—that and her imitable style. With a penchant for pared-back staples and easy-to-wear outfits, all in a gloriously versatile colour palette, her looks are the sort that remain perennially chic without being try-hard—a potent combination we immediately want to re-create for ourselves. Thankfully, this is going to be made so much easier, for each month, Skye will be sharing her new-season selects exclusively for you, rather pleasingly categorised by product type.

Who’s ready for some new season knitwear? I know I certainly am—it’s been a cold winter and I’m just about ready to pack away the heavy coats (hooray!) and opt for some spring knitwear instead. I’m a lover of jeans and the perfect jumper combo, so this month’s edit has got me seriously excited for the warmer temperatures ahead. I’ve selected 12 knits that will gear you up for spring so we can finally leave the house without thermals.

Earthy jumpers that speak subtle spring—dark green is one of my favourite colours for early spring—pair with a cream silky bias skirt and a brown suede bag for the ultimate updated ’70s look.
Ice cream hues—fuzzy jumpers don’t have to mean winter, this COS oversized jumper looks perfect with cream tailored trousers and sling-backs.
Stripes aren’t going anywhere—did they even stop trending anyway? I always have a select few in my wardrobe which carry me through season upon season. I just love how they go with everything else in your wardrobe, and give you the ultimate Parisian chic vibe. This nautical long-line cardigan would look great teamed with leather trousers.
ACNE seems to be a recurring theme in my monthly edits, but the brand always speaks simplicity with a touch of edginess. Team with your favourite blue jeans for the ultimate “I’m not trying, but really I’m trying” look.
Cable-knit jumpers are a great way to transition into spring especially if they’re cropped.
Oversized jumper, leather pants, and a red lip—need I say more? 🔥
Knitwear doesn’t have to only mean jumpers, I’ve recently been opting for cardigans as they’re a great way to dress up an evening outfit without being too over the top or dressy. I’ll be wearing this with my favourite black croc trousers and a pair of mid-heel sandals. The perfect combination for evening drinks.
I’m not usually a neon kinda gal but this cropped, lime green jumper has got me feeling all the spring feels. You’re guaranteed to feel pretty perky in this jumper.
How beautiful is this Reformation sweater? The sweetheart neckline and slit cuffs give this knit the most flattering shape and fit.
There’s nothing I love more than chucking on my favourite white T-shirt, cashmere joggers, and wrapping myself up in a long cardigan. Ideal for running out the house and into town.
I don’t tend to wear much colour, but when it comes to spring knitwear I’m partial to a hue or two. This ACNE pastel pink knit would team perfectly with light blue jeans and your trusted basket bag.
Cashmere jumpers always have a place in my spring wardrobe and new brand on my radar is Extreme Cashmere. Its knitwear is perfectly put together and incredibly sophisticated, these jumpers won’t date and, when you’re investing, it’s best to keep tonal—great for those easy on-the-go days.
When it comes to investing in designer handbags, it’s something I think long and hard about. Yes, they need to be versatile and work hard in my wardrobe, but are they going to stand the test of time, too? I’ve hand-picked 12 must-have designer handbags of the season that will be sure to revamp your existing wardrobe and give you a spring in your step.
Rich earthy hue handbags have always been a winner in my wardrobe, and this Bottega Veneta Jodie is the ultimate day-to-night companion, perfect for running from the office straight to the bar.
The Loewe Puzzle—a cult bag that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I’ve had mine for just over three years, and it’s still my most-worn and -loved handbag. It’s so incredibly easy to style; the perfect everyday handbag.
A hybrid between a basket bag and a tote bag—need I say more? Whilst we’re still in the midst of winter, there’s no harm in peeking at some mid-season trends.
Tried and tested—I absolutely love my Celine Triomphe, and it’s a handbag I know I will keep forever. It’s the perfect accessory for those days when you want to keep your attire chill but still want to look put together.
I’m always drawn to Scandi brands, and ACNE’s Musubi is an absolute classic. It’s simple yet incredibly chic and versatile.
By Far always does the cutest handbags. They’re so handy for dinner and drinks. When it comes to evening accessories, I tend to go bold and opt for something a little more jazz-hands.
Taking the plunge when buying a designer bag can feel a little overwhelming, so why not try renting a handbag first to see if you really love it? I’m planning on road-testing this one next.
A bag that doubles up as a pillow? Yes, please. The Coach Pillow Tabby was all over Instagram last summer, and it’s still jet-setting around now. Available in an array of neutral tones and colour-popping bursts.
The Mary Poppins bag of all bags. Everyone needs a giant tote bag that can squeeze just about anything in—including your gym kit.
I dreamed of having this bag in my early 20s—and still do now. Well, now it’s back and in hot pursuit. Alexa has had a little revamp, and she’s looking cuter than ever.
Vintage-inspired bags have always caught my eye. They’re bags you can bring out of the back of the cupboard year after year and still have a soft spot for.
This bag speaks luxury and style; no frills, just simple and classy and guaranteed to go with your entire wardrobe.
