I’m an NYC-Based Fashion Editor, and I Totally Lost It Over These 30 Items

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

I’ve been shopping since day one. I’m not kidding, my parents use to love to tell their friends about how I’d flip through racks while plopped down in my stroller, meticulously scouring the selection at The Gap or Limited Too like a seasoned pro. 20-odd years later, not much has changed. Well, other than the fact that now, shopping is my job. All that’s to say, when I tell you that my current shopping cart is thoroughly vetted and out of this world, I’m not kidding. 

With new arrivals bursting onto the scene on a near 24/7 basis of late, I’ve been busy scrolling through page after page of shoppable items, hand-selecting pieces both for all of you and for me, too. (Call me selfish if you want, but treating yourself is never wrong IMO.) And while I share my work-related findings very regularly, my own discoveries are usually kept under lock and key—emphasis on the word usually. Today, I’m making an exception. 

Keep scrolling to shop 30 items that are currently residing in my cart. 

I’m constantly on the look-out for good jeans and so often the best ones are Zara.

Not gonna lie, after how big blazers got in the last few years, I wasn’t sure I’d ever buy one again. But after spotting this very ’90s, light gray style at H&M, I did a 180. 

I had a legit alarm set for the day this dress became available—that’s how good it is. 

There isn’t a person on planet Earth that doesn’t know how much I want this S/S 22 Prada bag. 

To pair with knee-high boots, obviously. 

Speaking of knee-highs, these are pretty much perfect.

Maybe I am obsessed.

When I find something I love, I’ll buy it in bulk, which was the case with this H&M oversize button-down. 

I honestly can’t believe that I’m wearing leggings (to anywhere other than the gym) again. 

Every time new MNZ pieces drop at SSENSE, I literally run to its website to try and buy what hasn’t already sold out. 

I just got this bag and I’m still in shock over the quality and price.

Green is the one color I’ve been grabbing for most lately. Shop the matching Ribbed Knit Sweater ($80).

*Jaw on the floor.*

Can you tell that I’m excited for warm weather? 

This tube top is giving me The Sweetest Things vibes in the best way.

The leather-bomber trend is booming right now.

Gorgeous, no? Shop the matching Natalie Cuffed Knit Top ($100).

That’s it, someone needs to cut me off from shopping things in this shade.

I low-key love a denim midi skirt.

The last time I hesitated to buy this waistcoat, it sold out. Suffice to say, I won’t be pausing now that it’s back in stock.

Swoon.

I’ve never been a huge bag person, but lately I’ve been adding them to my wishlists constantly.

Not me literally screaming because of how beautiful this Khaite dress is.

Tip: the best way to get perfect vintage Levi’s is to wear down a new pair until they’re just right. 

I need one in every color for my T-shirt collection to be complete.

In the sunglasses department, it’s sporty or bust for me. 

This fabric feels so expensive.

I want you, I want you so bad.

One shoulder > two shoulders.

More green—shocking.
