I've Been on a Spending Freeze, But These 31 Finds Are Thawing Me Out
I'm not sure how I've done it, but over the past three months, I've taken a step back from shopping for fashion and beauty things. My husband and I moved to a new house in February, and ever since then, I've put my entire budget toward furnishing those 1,800 square feet. As anyone who's decorated a space can guess, my bank account has been straight-up drained. But now that we're feeling more settled and the major purchases have been made (who knew curtains could be so pricey?), I'm going back to my old ways. In other words, I'm blowing some cash on my favorite subjects: fashion and beauty. Those mesh ballet flats that fashion people can't stop wearing? They're in my cart. The espresso lip gloss that TikTok creators can't live without? I don't want to live without it, either. Ready to shop with me? Keep scrolling to see the glorious finds thawing out my spending freeze.
Sometimes, your girl just needs a little bit of luxury. And in this case, it's under-$100 Chanel cream.
The Frankie Shop's exclusive collection with Moda Operandi is too chic for words. Each piece is an everyday staple, but my heart belongs to this knit peplum top.
I like the capri pant trend, but I don't think I'll wear it enough to splurge on an expensive pair. This Zara pair is chic and looks designer.
It’s finally summer, which means fleece pajamas are officially finding their way to storage. Their replacement? This sultry slip from b.tempt’d that makes me feel dressed up even if I’m not leaving the house. I love the delicate lace detailing on the bodice and the sheer mesh skirt that will keep me cool all night long.
Every Who What Wear editor is obsessed with Freja, and it's not hard to understand why.
I've recently been getting laser facials at my local Skin Laundry (a dream), and last time, I came back with the brand's Tranexamic Acid Serum. It's worked so well that I'm already plotting my next buy. I'm definitely leaning toward this Vitamin C serum.
This Hailey Bieber–approved brand is high on my radar for summer. Half the site is in my cart, but this top is begging to be added to my going-out-top rotation.
Speaking of Chanel, a friend told me she tried this and her skin has never glowed more, so naturally, I have to try it.
Our editor in chief sent these to our Slack channel, and they've been on my list ever since.
I'm running low on my favorite fragrance, The One by Celui, so I'm turning to the same brand for my next purchase. I'm not sure if I'll refresh my bottle or snag one of the newer scents.
Another Hailey Bieber–approved brand. She's been wearing these earrings 24/7, so obviously, I need a pair.
This style is bubbling up in the fashion world. So many versions are already sold out, but this one is surprisingly in stock.
It's not summer without a new Monday Swimwear bikini, and I've been eyeing this husk pattern since last year.
I have no idea where I'm planning to wear this. But I'll figure out the details later.
The softest pajamas I own are from Negative Underwear. I need another pair pronto.
I recently took a Rococo dress out for a spin in Cancún and have been saving so many more pieces from the brand ever since.
I've heard the best things about this fragrance. And just look at the pretty bottle!
