Lucky Haul: What Our Editors Bought Last Weekend

Lucky Staffers

Starting today, we're going to be doing a haul post every week about what Lucky editors bought over the weekend. Watch out--shopping is our leisure sport, so that means tons of stuff each week for you to ogle. For us, it just means another way to justify filling our already full closets.

Stephanie Trong, Deputy Digital Editor

I've been going on about how much I love J.Crew's cashmere sweatshirts, and this weekend I discovered you can get the same ones on CrewCuts for a little less! Got the navy--will look so good thrown over floral dresses or with jeans and Supergas. Threw in a vintage-looking brown belt, too, which I plan to wear with tees, jeans and major heels for a little casual/fancy juxtaposition.

Caroline Waxler, Digital Content DirectorI bought the kate spade new york All Occasion Set at Papyrus in Greenwich, CT, which actually has some amazing shopping. It's super cute and perfect for those times when you can't be bothered to run to the stationery shop and need to jot down a quick note. The box comes complete with: Congratulations, Happy Birthday, Get Well Soon, Hello and Thank You with matching lined envelopes. Reminds me of when I was younger and my mom seemed to have cards for any and every occasion.

Along with my comrades, Simone and John, I hit up the APC sample sale and picked up these two sweaters--while I'm bummed I won't be wearing them for a bit- they're all part of the plan for fall: Unexpected color combinations of pastel and rust hues. Also, bought a pair of trousers since I wear them nearly everyday and at a mere $40, how could I say no to a well-fitting classic? I've been on the hunt for the perfect trench for what feels like most of my adult life. Perhaps it's the April showers we've had to endure the past month, but I finally decided to take the plunge.

There was a lot happening at the APC sale, and after trying on a pile of pieces, I ended up leaving with just a sweater and a shirt. Everything I snagged ended up being a little 'over-size' by default--most of the smaller sizes were out of stock, but I'm into it. Everybody needs a super-cozy insanely soft sweater. Also, with spring in bloom you can't go wrong with a lightweight gingham top.

John Jannuzzi, Style Collective Editor

Woke up early(ish) on Saturday morning and realized my springtime wardrobe was seriously lacking--grabbed a coffee and strolled on down to my neighborhood J.Crew store and picked up a gingham shirt, appropriate for the office, the beach and the in between. Pick up the lady version here.

APC Sweater Got a text from online editor Ray Siegel and beauty editor Simone Kitchens to meet them at the APC sample sale. Naturally, I hopped the closest train to Brooklyn and rummaged through heaps of clothes to find a perfect lightweight sweater--perfect for summer evenings on the water, should I decide to take up sailing.

Prada Orthopedic, er, Rubber Sole ShoesThe spring collections from Prada have had the fashion set buzzing for months now, I spied these on Neiman Marcus' website and decided to break the bank and a gift card. They're not as avant garde as the runway version but are understated enough to wear to brunch with the fam. If you're up to it--try the lady version on for size.
