It's time to put away your boots and hang up your coats, because spring is here!

After what feels like a never-ending winter, we couldn't be readier for warmer weather and the return of daylight savings (October 2, if anyone's wondering).

While you're here, listen to the latest episode of Mamamia's fashion podcast, What Are You Wearing? Post continues below.

In August, theMamamiateam was busy stocking up on wardrobe staples, shoes and accessories for the new season. Here's everything we bought this month, and why we rate it.

Vestirsi Gabrielle bag, $449.

"Vestirsi is an Australian lady startup founded by former publicist Monica Upton - when she couldn’t find a good quality leather bag that was reasonably priced, she developed her own. The bags are all so chic and handmade in Italy from the most beautiful buttery leather, and this one comes with a chain strap and a longer leather strap so you can alternate how you wear it. It hits all the right notes for a day-to-evening bag." - Tamara Holland, host of 'What Are You Wearing?'

Nine West Giselle flats, $149.95.

"I've worn my summer sandals from 2021-22 into the ground, so it was about time I replaced them. These Nine West sandals will be perfect - simple, easy to slip on and will go with dresses and jeans. My feet look forward to wearing them!" - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Neuw Denim Frida Super Wide, $179.95.

"I love these high waisted flared jeans from Neuw Denim - they're cute and camel toe proof! Being mid-size and on the curvier side, I find it really stressful to score jeans that fit in all the right places, but these are just 10/10." - Lara Severino, Content Manager, Squad.

Modibodi Sweat-Proof Bra, $70.

"The brand behind the revolutionary period undies and swimwear have done it again and realised another game-changing product: a sweat-proof bra. Made with fine merino wool, it locks away odour, helps to regulate body temperatureandabsorb sweat. Genius." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Sportsgirl Skylar Cropped Wide Leg Pants, $69.95.

"These pants have become my new favourites - they're so vibrant and go with just about anything. I want to buy them in every colour." - Madeline Muir, Senior Social Media Producer.

Uniqlo Premium Linen Long Sleeve Shirt, $49.90.

"I bought this while I was on holidays in Thailand this month because I needed a long shirt to cover my arms. I am very prone to sun rashes so I needed something I could wear every day that wasn't going to make me sweat. This shirt was perfect - so light, so breathable. A summer must!" - Mikayla Floriano, Podcast Producer.

Polène Numéro Dix, $480.

"I was really close to gate-keeping this handbag, but I'm too much of an over-sharer to keep it to myself. Like many other things I've been influenced to buy, TikTok introduced me to the French brand Polène - designed in Paris and handmade in Spain, they make affordable (ish) quality handbags. I just ordered this one - it comes with two straps so it can be worn as a crossbody and shoulder bag and comes in seven colours. I can't wait for her to arrive." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Wrangler High Bells Wide Jean, $149.95.

"I just bought these over the weekend and have already worn them three times. I’m finding them such a good shake-up from wearing denim all the time - the colour is a nice change heading into warm, sunny weather." - Susannah Makin, The Skin Summit Event Producer.

Cotton On Body Rib Lace Sleep Cami, $19.99, and Rib Lace Sleep Short, $19.99.

"Before going on a recent holiday with friends, I realised my pyjamas are quite... daggy. So I snapped up this set at Cotton On for a bargain (you can get the two for $30). They might be my favourite new purchase and cost the least. How good's that?" - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Zara Satin Shirt, $75.95.

"I have a cute new pink Zara shirt - loving the bright pop of colour for spring and how it can be dressed up for evenings or dressed down for more casual vibes." - Laura Jackel, Parenting Writer.

Dissh Kiah Navy Satin Blazer, $169.99.
