Still need a dress for Easter brunch or Seder dinner? Or maybe a new blouse? We have ideas for you. Plus, a cute Easter basket item idea, a proven spray to help you fall asleep faster, and a precious way to celebrate J.R.R. Tolkein Day, which is today (you're welcome!), all in this week's Top Picks.Katie: If I could close my eyes and dream up the perfect Easter Sunday dress, this would be it. The Caterina dress by Ulla Johnson is the perfect shade of purple, the perfect amount of floral, and the perfect amount of ruffles. Please let spring be here so we can wear it. (Available at The Hive, $595)Celeste: Casual, comfortable, and luxurious…the Rita top by Joie is simply lovely. It has a slim silhouette with pleat detailing and long sleeves with a soft flutter hem. A perfect top all year long. (Available at Kiskadee, $229)Alicia: A dress that can take you from the farmers' market to a formal event. The Cordelia dress is from Banjanan and is 100 percent silk crepe with a tie-back waist and pockets. Wear with heels or sandals, a tuxedo jacket, or denim jacket...it’s as versatile as you want it to be! (Available at TSALT, $555)Amy: Lord of the Rings nerds lovers unite for today is J.R.R. Tolkien Day. We thought it best to celebrate by hanging our Shire pennant from Frog and Toad Press. It’s so precious! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $25)Elizabeth: The gift show strikes again! This time my partner-in-crime was my sister, who has toddler-aged children. So when we walked by Jellycat, we had to stop. It is one of her kid's favorites, and I thought of course we need cute coin purses for little ones! So if you are late to shopping for Easter this year, we have you covered! This is just a sampling of all the cute kids items we have in right now! (Available at The Shoe Hive, $15-$22.50)Angela: The Deep Sleep Pillow Spray has become part of my nightly regimen. Clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster and wake feeling more refreshed. When we sleep, our skin cells repair and harmful toxins are removed, making sleep the ultimate beauty secret and first step in your skincare routine. No more restless nights. (Available at Bellacara, $29)
