I wanted to find out what my colleagues are currently coveting for spring, and see what we'll all be twinning in next at the office. What can I say? My colleagues have great taste.

First, let me share what's currently in my cart (because yes, shopping is literally part of my job as Lifestyle Producer).

And there are a couple of things I'm seriously considering... (I couldn't stick to one, sorry not sorry).

Luv Lou Boston Sunglasses, $180.

I'm obsessed with these Luv Lou sunglasses.

I love how a really cool pair of sunnies can add such a vibe to your spring and summer looks, and they are channelling the Miu Miu ones for a third of the price.

Louenhide Mini Monaco Shoulder Bag, $79.95.

I'm obsessed with the sustainable Queen of bags Louenhide. They're an Aussie lady startup, use vegan leather and their products look premium at an affordable price point.

My laptop bag is from there, plus I've been carrying around their best-selling Monaco shoulder bag in black all winter. Now I've seen they've re-imagined it in a compact size in 'Butter Yellow'—it's definitely going in my cart. How can I not? Rude not to.

Sabo Adair Top, $128, and Shorts, $88.

I have an unhealthy obsession with matching co-ord sets, and I've found my next (unhealthy) obsession.

It's made from drop needle rib fabric in white, with super cute contrast tan trims. I love the relaxed fit and boxy sleeves. Their entire collection features gorgeous co-ord sets.

Occupational hazard of working in lifestyle content, what can I say?

What the Lifestyle team and Mamamia office are adding to cart for Spring…

"I really want some wildly impractical satin bias-cut pants. I'm obsessed with the colourful options at Vrg Grl especially the emerald green." - Tamara Holland, Fashion Editor. 

Vrg Grl Moonscapes Pants Mauve, $139.

"But I might veer towards a wider-leg style in a silky fabric because I know I'll actually wear them in summer and not be scared to get them out around my toddler and her sticky hands. These are heavenly." - Tamara.

Ownley Kamila Top, $129.

"This gorg polka dot set from Ownley is on my hit list. My brown obsession will be following me into spring. I feel like the set is so chic for arvo drinks with the girls and the solo pieces can be dressed up or down so nicely." - Ailish Delaney, News Writer. 

Adidas Samba Sneakers, $200.

"I am REALLY contemplating these sambas... I feel like I need to branch out and get some bold pieces but the question are they too bold for me?" - Charlotte Hill, Sales Manager.

(I assured Charlotte they are certainly not too bold and she should absolutely get the shoes.)

Witchery Cropped Trench Jacket, $299.

"I heard cropped jackets are in for spring (thanks to our fashion editor Tamara Holland for the trend report!). After trying on a few different cropped coats at H&M on the weekend, I landed on this specific cropped trench style from Witchery.

I'm 5'3 and every trench coat I've ever bought ends up going back because it drags along the ground, so this transseasonal version is my ticket to the trench train.

The sturdy cotton blend fabric and cool sandy colour give it a traditional Burberry trench, but I love how the belt can be worn as a tie to accentuate my waist and balance my proportions. I sized up to a 14 as the brand runs a little small, and I want to be able to layer shirts and light knits underneath." - Amy Clark, Lifestyle Editor.

Frankie4 Grace Black Tumbled, $280.

"I want some new loafer slides from Franky4, because they're the perfect office shoe when the weather is warmer." - Lauren Klemt, Branded Content.

Lem Capri with Detachable Skirt, $189.

"The LEM Wear Capri pants have been living rent free in my brain for the last three weeks. They've got a little detachable skirt, so you get a two for one, and they're perfect for spring. I think you could just pair them with any kind of like chic top and you look super cool." - Isabelle Dolphin, Social Media Producer. 

Love Isabelle Elu Garnet Necklace, $169.

"I really want a beaded necklace, something a lot of brands are doing, are red beaded resin, round balls, a big string of them. It adds a pop of colour to an outfit and I wear a lot of gold. And I think it'll just add a little something cute." - Charlie Begg, Acting Deputy Editor. 

Birkenstock Uji Suede Leather Regular, $279.

"So I just got these — I needed new sandals, but my wide sweaty feet can't deal with traditional sandals, so these are my go-to recently. They are so comfy and like the Arizonas but elevated." - Cristina Aguilar, Senior Commercial Video Producer.

AERE Fia Linen Draped Off Shoulder Maxi Dress, $170.

"I've been eyeing off this dress for weeks. It feels like a versatile option you could wear for more dressy occasions or afternoon drinks. Plus I own about 500 chocolate brown items so why not add another to the collection!" - Stacey Hicks, Acting Editor.  

Henne Morgan Jean, $229.

"I've been waiting for these jeans to come back in my size as I don't have any light-coloured pants in my wardrobe and have a bunch of tops that I could style with them for the Spring weather." - Courtney Ammenhauser Executive Group Producer.

DISSH White Sheer Strapless Dress, $290.

"I have the most amazing dress on order from DISSH. It's a strapless, white sheer dress, and I believe it's called the Elba, and it's a sheer delight." - Ilaria Brophy, Group Executive Producer.

Puma Speedcat Ballet Metallic Shoes, $140.

"I recently bought these silver Puma ballet flats, cross sneakers. I feel like they're the perfect transseasonal shoe, and I'm loving them so far. I just need to break them in." - Lucy Ballenden, Branded Content.

"I can't get this bag out of my head. I need the space that can handle my 'just in case' packing habits while being chic and feminine. I'm pretty loyal when it comes to bags (my current one's been my ride-or-die for four years), so the fact that I'm this obsessed says it all." - Ann Magbalana, Branded Content Assistant.

Raq Multi-Way Top, $109.

"I'm looking at some rack swimmers at the moment, the rack apparel and Mahalia collab. They're really funky two way orange bikinis and they are really suitable for big busts." - Kelsey Harper, Branded Content.
