It’s time for another installment of SB Hot List! In this month’s roundup, StyleBlueprint team members share everything from their favorite loungewear to spring gardening essentials, a must-watch TV series, and more. Here are 13 of our latest discoveries and why we love them!
High-Rise Flare Leggings
“My inner millennial is really shining through with this one. Throwback to the iconic Victoria’s Secret foldover yoga pants that I LIVED in during high school. These ultra high-rise flare leggings from All In Motion at Target are incredible. They’re extremely comfortable and flattering, dog hair does NOT stick to them (which is a huge requirement in my house), and considering the number of times I’ve already worn them … they’re holding up really well. I said I’d never wear flares ever again … but here I am.” — Lauren Cummings, Business Coordinator
These All In Motion flare leggings include flat seams, a UPF 50+ rating, a quick-drying material, and a hidden pocket. Image: Target
Code Name Hélène by Ariel Lawhon
“I’m a fairly new fan of historical fiction, and this is on my list of top five favorites for sure! Code Name Hélène is based on the true story of Nancy Wake, an Australian who became one of the leaders of the French Resistance during World War II. Her bravery and intelligence are unbelievable! There’s a beautiful love story woven into the narrative, too. I highly recommend this book!” — Melissa Thompson, Account Executive

XLUX Soil Moisture Meter
“I won’t pretend for a moment that I have a green thumb, but it’s not exactly brown either. For argument’s sake, let’s call it an olive thumb. Anyway, I’ve been trying to elevate my houseplant game, so this moisture meter was at the top of my must-have list. With over 33,000 reviews on Amazon, I’m trusting the 4.5-star rating! Additionally, it doesn’t require batteries, so I was sold. I just got it, and I’m excited to have some assistance in making sure my plants stay properly hydrated.” — Jenna Bratcher, Lead Nashville Writer & Associate Editor

Klassy Network Dresses
“I’ve shouted out this brand before for their bodysuits with built-in bras, but they recently released a line of dresses that deserve a moment of their own. Featuring the same stretchy fabrics and built-in bras, they’re comfy, flattering, and easy to wear — definitely wardrobe staple material.” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor

Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp

Britt Linen Shirt
“I absolutely love my Britt linen shirt from J. McLaughlin. I’ve had one in ‘Sky Blue’ for several years, and I just ordered two more colors — ‘French Blue’ and ‘Persian Pink.’ They get softer with each wash and work equally well tucked into some chinos, or not tucked in, tied in a knot over a casual dress, or worn unbuttoned over a tank and shorts/pants. It’s so versatile and the one shirt I pack every time I travel during warm months or if I’m going to the beach.” — Liza Graves, CEO & Founder
The shirt from J. McLaughlin is made of 100% linen and offers a relaxed fit, making it the ultimate spring wardrobe essential. Image: J.McLaughlin
Vuori Joggers
“I love the brand Vuori. They make activewear- and athleisure-type clothes. I have a few pairs of their joggers, and I love them. They also have women’s joggers that you can check out!” — Brandon Smith, Account Executive
Vuori’s women’s joggers are made with a buttery soft fabric and feature a drawstring waist and cropped leg. Image: Vuori
Curator’s Choice Fine Wood Polish
“Curator’s Choice Fine Wood Polish is hand-made by Mary Spottswood at Brooke’s Bank Farm. I have used this luxurious polish on every piece of wood in my house.” — Lele Thompson, Account Executive

I-Sea Sunglasses
“I found this brand at a boutique at some point, bought a pair, then lost them (of course), but I am SO glad I remembered the name of the brand because you can buy them directly on their site. They are so classic, sturdy, and well-fitting, and they come in a zillion styles and colors. They seem so much more expensive than the $30 price point, and I don’t have to beat myself up if I lose them!” — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer
I-Sea Sunglasses are equal parts functional and stylish. Image: Zoe Yarborough
Oatly Coffee Frozen Dessert
“This ice cream is my new go-to whenever I have a sweet tooth! It’s dairy-, gluten-, and vegan-free, so it hits all the marks if you have a food allergy — and it’s so delicious. It’s hard for me not to eat the entire pint! Coffee is my personal favorite, but all of the flavors are yummy.” — Katelyn Caughron, Client Relations & Social Media Coordinator

Daisy Jones & The Six
“It’s always a little nerve-wracking to hear that a book you love will be turned into a movie or TV series. Despite my initial reservations, I’m so happy to report that Amazon Prime’s rendition of Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a beautiful interpretation of the book. From the casting to the music, it captures the magic of the story perfectly. I think I binged the first six episodes in two days, and I’m already counting down the days until new episodes drop!” — Brianna Goebel, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Manager

Biker Shorts
“I recently snagged these shorts from Amazon, and they are exactly what I was looking for. They’re not a good choice for a hard workout or going to the gym as they’re made from a thin, cotton-like material, but they’re so buttery soft, comfy, and easy to throw on for going on a walk around the neighborhood, grabbing groceries, or lounging at home — a perfect work-from-home item! Plus, you get four shorts for under $30!” — Bailey Torkelson, Marketing Manager
Made from a soft polyester and spandex material, these high-waisted biker shorts are perfect for working from home or running errands around town. Image: Amazon
Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Pollinator Habitat Program
“Like a lot of people in Nashville, several plants in my garden didn’t survive this winter. I had already decided that I wanted to replace these plants with native-friendly options that can also help save pollinators. Fortunately, I found an unlikely resource for help: the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Their Pollinator Habitat Program provides planting templates, maintenance tips, and other info on their website. TDOT is dedicated to growing, supporting, and protecting pollinators across Tennessee, and I’m happy to join their mission.” — Mary Breen, Website Designer
Cheers to another month of discoveries!
