I've Lived in NYC, Paris, and L.A.—Here's Everything I'm Losing It Over for Fall
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 moved around a bit over the years, spending time living in NYC, Paris, and now my current home, L.A. Living in each city has provided its own style lessons that have helped to shape my wardrobe as well as my general attitude about getting dressed. In NYC, I learned the art of layering. In Paris, I discovered the power of investing in high-quality staples. And in L.A., I mastered styling casual pieces in a directional way. You can see all of that play out in the outfits I’m wearing.
As we head into fall, I’m putting some of those fashion lessons into practice and allowing them to help guide my fall shopping list. From knee-high boots and investment bags to floss dresses and the tailoring trend I’m excited to wear, there’s plenty I’m currently eyeing. Ahead, I’m diving into the pieces that I’m currently losing it over.
I've been thinking about chunky knee-high since last year, which means it's time to add them to my cart.
Hands down my favorite sneakers at the moment. I already have them in black, but can you blame me for thinking about ordering this stunning forest-green pair as well?
I have a few dressy events on my calendar, and this is the dream piece I would love to wear to them.
I can't resist great suiting, especially the oversize blazers that are everywhere at the moment.
I can't stop thinking about these boots from the upcoming collection designed by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
