The Group Chat: Spring Shopping Edition

An invite-only shopping club + a massive spring sale edit

Apr 10, 2025

This letter is in partnership with CAKE, a member’s only shopping platform.

PSA: I’m sharing my new favorite shopping hack that’s already saved me serious money.

Here’s the scoop on CAKE:

Their $100/year membership unlocks thousands in spending power through CAKE cards (they’re like gift cards) for premium brands I love — Frēda Salvador, Jenni Kayne, Mansur Gavriel, Janessa Leoné, U Beauty, and more. You’ll also get exclusive perks like VIP shopping events and experiences.

It’s invite-only with limited spots and I have a few to share! Sign up here to join. There’s absolutely no catch.

Once in, you can select up to 10 CAKE cards (choose wisely!) on their platform. Take a peek at my wallet below. I unlocked $1300 in spending power on some of my favorite brands.

The membership basically pays for itself with your first purchase. I finally got these M.Gemi butter yellow ballerinas that have been on my wishlist forever.

Below, a bevy of warm weather pieces that make my heart sing — all eligible for CAKE cards.

Anita Berisha | Mermaid Earrings ($150 CAKE card for orders of $375 on Couper) • Janessa Leoné | Raffia Straw Bucket Hat ($75 CAKE card) • Mignonne Gavigan | Alexi Charm Necklace ($75 CAKE card for orders of $150+) • Ring Concierge | Mini Cloud Earrings ($200 CAKE card for orders of $600+) • Alemais | Anita Midi Dress ($150 CAKE card for orders of $375 on Couper) • Eleven Six | Sequin Tank ($100 CAKE card for orders of $250+)• STAUD | Sasha Linen Pant ($100 CAKE card for orders of $395+) • Jenni Kayne | Pleated Skirt ($150 CAKE card for orders of $350+) • CO | Asymmetric Gladiator Sandal ($100 CAKE card) • Cesta Collective | Breton Lunchpail ($200 CAKE card for orders of $550+) • éliou x Cesta | Suede Clutch ($200 CAKE card for orders of $550+) • Collage Created on Zeen

Warning: more shopping content ahead! While you absolutely don’t need any of these things, I’m sharing these spring sales in case you happen to be looking for something right now.

FRĒDA SALVADOR F&F Sale (code: FREDAFRIEND)

My friends at Frēda Salvador gave us early access to their spring Friends & Family sale. Some of my favorite pairs (and Frēda bestsellers) are included!

Jayla Woven Ballet Heel • Alexia Sandal • Nico Western Belt • Sera Fisherman Sandal • Jada Square Toe Ballet Flat • Elba Penny Loafer • Rebecca Belt • Darya Lug Sole Fisherman • Collage Created on Zeen

Shopbop Style Event (code: STYLE)

Heads up: The Shopbop spring sale ends today (4/10)! My strategy is always to focus on replacing basics and investing in staples. I noticed several of my wardrobe MVPs are included in the sale, in case you’re looking to refresh your essentials.

Leset Margo tee: they’re a best-seller for a reason.
Levi’s 501 90’s: a forever favorite; also comes in ankle length.
AGOLDE Ren: a great wide leg option for petites! Now comes in a 25-inch inseam too.
SLVRLAKE Grace crop: my favorite wide leg style in white.
Hanky Panky undies: nothing compares; the quality is top-notch.

And don’t miss the fun warm weather items! I personally love Hunza G swimsuits, Donni pop pants (so comfy!), and my go-to Saint Laurent sunnies are actually included. I own this cute OSSA mushroom wristlet and this CLARE V pot de miel bag, which was my favorite from last summer.

Sephora sale (code: SAVEMORE)

And finally, the spring Sephora sale is happening! Below is my honest run-down of products I genuinely use and strategically replenish whenever this sale rolls around. No impulse buys here — just the tried-and-true favorites worth stocking up on.

A duo I can’t live without: Deliverance serum and Air Angel from Dieux
These Sofie Pavitt Micellar Cleansing Pads are so convenient. I use it in the morning in lieu of cleanser. Also a big fan of the mandelic acid serum and gel foaming cleanser that feels like a cream.
My favorite gentle exfoliating body wash from Necessaire. Leaves my skin so soft and it smells incredible.
The Soft Services Smoothing Solution is my secret weapon against those annoying little bumps — it smoothes everything out and helps fade those random dark spots too. Their overnight retinol hand cream is also magic — wake up and your hands look like they took a vacation without you.
The Crown Affair hair towel is the first thing I pack when I travel. And my favorite brush now comes in a mini version!
Other things I use and love: RŌZ shampoo, root spray and leave-in serum, Eadem Le Chou Chou lip balm and cashmere peel toner, a mini Tower 28 SOS spray I always keep in my bag, Fara Homidi lip pencil and essential face compact for that no-makeup makeup look.
