'I’m a fashion writer. Here are 11 items I’m eyeing off for spring.'

Who else thinks shopping is a form of cardio? Because same. 

If you don’t believe me, I have a dedicated Come Shop With Me series on my Insta and TikTok where I endure the nightmare of stuffy change rooms, misleading sizes and disturbing lighting to test and approve on-trend clothing. 

So it should be no surprise that I am always on the hunt for good quality pieces and by default, I spend an absurd amount of money on clothes (oops).

Which is why I was thrilled to learn that ANZ has teamed up with Cashrewards*. 

If you aren’t already across Cashrewards, they offer exclusive deals and cashback offers from over 2,000 popular retailers. And to date, members have earned $140 million in cashback and counting. I mean seriously how cool is that?!

Plus, if you work the angles like me you can level up your savings and stack the deals in your favour. And the best part is that it’s free to join, and easy to link your debit or credit card to start earning cashback ASAP on in-store offers, at participating store locations.

So in the spirit of being savvy (yet trendy) shoppers I’ve rounded up eleven items I'm currently eyeing off to level up my spring wardrobe. And the best part? All are available online through retailers on the Cashrewards website.

Happy shopping!

Seed Longline Denim Skirt, $80.

Image: Seed/Mamamia. Kris Jenner works hard but the fashion trend cycle works harder. Everything comes back around in fashion, and thanks to the recent ‘90s revival I’ve been seeing the explosion of the maxi skirt everywhere. 

Consider me converted because I literally ran to Seed a few months ago to buy a longline style denim skirt and have had so much fun styling it. It’s my new staple for when I don’t feel like reaching for jeans. I love it so much I am now eyeing off this similar style which would be perfect for spring weather as I just adore the slit in the middle. 

Chuck on some knee-high boots with an oversized tailored shirt top and you’re ready for a brunch date.

New Balance Unisex MR530, $150.

The rise of dad sneakers has been a blessing in disguise. They are practically like walking on clouds. I am a huge fan of New Balance’s styles, they're the perfect sneaker to effortlessly style over and over again, and will be a major spring staple for me. 

Uniqlo Ultra Light Jacket in Beige, $99.90.

Spring 2022 is all about elevated basics. Boxy, boyfriend style blazers are all the rage and I am so here for it. Not only are they perfect for adding into your capsule wardrobe, but they are so versatile as you can dress them up and down for almost any occasion. 

For a guaranteed put together look (even if you don’t feel it) I love this one from Uniqlo. It would go so well with a straight leg pair of jeans, chunky black loafers, gold hoops, and to really nail the chic aesthetic, a sleek ponytail.

O&M Project Sukuroi Tube, $49.95.

Speaking of looking effortlessly boujee, O&M has some of the most beautiful, non-damaging hair treatment products I have ever tried for achieving that perfect glossy, smooth look. 

Naturally I am wanting to try their Project Sukuroi Gold Smoothing Balm as I love how it nourishes hair that is coloured and/or heat-damaged. Music to my ears.

Classic Bae Clogs from Crocs, $90.

Image: Crocs/Mamamia. It probably wasn’t on your 2022 bingo card but you can’t deny that Crocs are certainly having their moment in the fashion sun. You either love or hate 'em. Like many, it conflicted me at first but I am now leaning into the hype. 

I am gushing over these chunky platform ones from Crocs. I would love to style them with colourful socks, a miniskirt and a funky sweater, because nothing screams spring more than bursts of colourful chaos.

Chosen by Tuchuzy Kris Corset Top, $99.

Image: The Iconic/Mamamia. If you are a big busted gal like me, one of my favourite tops to rock are corsets, and I am especially keen to style them this spring. Gone are the days of restrictive corsets — they are now more of a bustier style top — and honestly this makes them so supportive to wear. 

This black number from The Iconic looks so flattering, and I can see myself ditching the boob holders and styling this for a gals night out, with a leather jacket, high-waisted pants and red lippie.

Windsor Smith Tricks Leather Shoe in Black, $150.

Image: Windsor Smith/Mamamia. You can never have too many shoes. (Thank Carrie Bradshaw for that one.) But for real, I have an obsession with loafers. They are the definition of timeless. 

I love the classic cut of these — combined with the low heel it adds as a fashionable addition to any outfit. One of my go-to ways to style loafers is with an oversized white shirt, mini skirt and vest.

Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L'Eau De Parfum, $123.

Image: Lancôme/Mamamia.

Every new season deserves its own signature scent. I’ve heard glowing reviews about Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle Perfume, incarnated by the iconic Julia Roberts. With notes of iris, pear, blackberry and orange blossom, the perfume translates to “life is beautiful” in French.

The Wolf Gang Benita Shoulder Bag, $270.

Image: The Iconic/Mamamia. You would have to be living under a rock to have not seen shades of hot pink circulating the Internet, or as one TikToker has dubbed it #Barbiecore. Giving early 2000s energy, this bright pink colour is here to stay. 

So obviously I have fallen in love with this chic baguette style shoulder bag. I love that it has a roomy compartment to hold your essentials, but has a suede-wrapped linked ring detail to really turn heads and channel your inner Barbiecore.

Bonds Soft Sweats Pullover, $64.99.

For those days you just want to wear your sweats, this Pullover sweat from Bonds in Autumn Green is such a vibe. The green colour is so on trend for spring 2022 and it’s just screaming extra softness that you can snuggle up into. Style with matching comfy bottoms or even jeans and sneakers to head out for a shopping day. Can’t go wrong. 

Neuw Denim Sade Baggy Jeans, $179.

Image: The Iconic/Mamamia. Jean shopping is always the biggest gamble. Neuw Denim has some of the best jeans I have ever tried and tested, which is why I am constantly adding new pieces from Neuw onto my wishlist. 

At present, I am drooling over their Sade Baggy jeans in this lighter denim wash. They would make for such an iconic staple for Spring. Dress up with strappy heels and a corset and dress down with chunky dad sneakers and a boxy tee. Big vibes all round.
