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

It's currently 75° and sunny in NYC, and after an unpredictable winter and too many months of wearing coats, I've never been happier to see sweat stains. This city has always been my style inspiration, so after a few weeks of people-watching, I've concluded that my wardrobe is lacking some of summer's finest trends and staples. Think maxi skirts, fun sandals, and statement dresses. The thrill of this pleasant weather has transported me from the busy New York streets to my air-conditioned bedroom for a much-needed internet deep-dive. But there's a catch: I'm on a budget, so I'm in search of items that look way more expensive than they are. If you're reading this right now, you're probably on the same page. Luckily for you, I've opened several tabs, added tons of items to my cart, and sent multiple "I need this" text messages over the past few hours. Out of everything I saw on the internet, I can't get these 40 pieces off my mind, and they're all under $150. I don't mean to brag, but there is quite the lineup below. Keep scrolling to find some of your new seasonal essentials.
