I'm deep into my "treat yourself" era, and I fear there is no end in sight. This time of year is dangerous because I'm in my birthday mindset and fall arrivals are landing at my favorite brands. There's no doubting I'm a Libra through and through when my obsession with pretty new things and my impulse decision-making get the best of me. It's only in my nature to treat myself, but I need your help whittling down my current wish list. Collarless jackets, trendy moto boots, and a $240 alternative to a Bottega Veneta bag are currently on my fashion roster. In the beauty department, a colder season calls for hydrating items, moody nail polish, and a limited-edition Merit x Proenza Schouler makeup set. (Yes, you'll need to run to purchase this one.) These arrivals are about to be the backbone of my wardrobe and beauty routine for fall, but I need you to let me know which are your favorites. Keep scrolling to shop my current fall wish list.
Fashion Wish List
Cleobella
Frida Jacket
Collarless jackets for fall are all I can think about. Extra points for the cute bow ties.
We the Free
Final Countdown Cuffed Mid-Rise Jeans
Cuffed jeans are another micro-trend to be on the lookout for. I recommend this pair, but be sure to size down by two sizes. (Trust me—I tried them.)
Bembien
Marni Bag Small
A subtle hint of Bottega Veneta without the designer price.
Reformation
Nataly Knit Dress
LRD is the new LBD.
Vince Camuto
Kaemie Moto Bootie
Moto boots are the boots to invest in this season.
7 For All Mankind
Tailored Denim Vest
I will never be ready to move on from the trend that is all things denim.
Madewell
The Essential Bucket Tote
Instead of brown suede, give navy blue a test run this year.
Ann Taylor
Pebbled Faux Leather Cocoon Jacket
So chic.
Maeve
The Bennet Buttondown Shirt
Do I need another striped button-down? The answer is always yes.
Mango
Pleated Miniskirt
Wear this skirt with white socks and loafers, and you have a perfect look.
Le Specs
Tres Gauche Small Rectangular-Frame Tortoiseshell Acetate Sunglasses
Somewhere, I know a chic French girl is wearing these sunnies.
Ann Taylor
Faux Leather Trim Sherpa Coat
I swear this is the last one, but clearly, there's no shortage of this cool style.
Reformation
Bethany Ballet Flat
Adding these to the essentials list.
Mango
Pinstripe Wool Coat
If you told me this coat was $1000, I would have believed you.
We the Free
Lucky You Mid-Rise Vegan Barrel Jeans
Our office's favorite barrel jeans just got a faux-leather makeover, and I've never been more excited.
Vince
Carmel Clog
I still have yet to hop on the clog trend, and now that I've found this elevated version, I think I'm all set.
Astrid
Miyu
Wave Huggies in Silver
The jewelry trend trifecta: silver, sculptural, and a good price point.
Varley
Amelia Half-Zip Knit Pullover
It's the way I'm about to live in this pullover for the next six months.
Pixie Market
Baggy Olive Parachute Pants
I think I found the perfect mix of parachute and track pant—two editor-favorite styles for fall.
Reebok
Club C Revenge Sneaker
Are you kidding me with this baby pink?
Scunci
Headbands
Finally, a thin headband that doesn't give me a headache and makes for the cutest accessory.
Beauty Wish List
Merit x Proenza Schouler
Runway Set
This collab is what my dreams are made of. Shop this exclusive set on Moda Operandi for a limited time.
LolaVie
Perfecting Leave In
Jennifer Aniston is really on to something with her haircare line. This leave-in conditioner is next up on my list to purchase.
Summer Fridays
Rich Cushion Cream Ultra Plumping Moisturizer
It's time to transition my skincare for the dry weather, and I'd like to start with this cushiony moisturizer.
Dae
Stargloss Shine Hair Gloss Treatment
I've predicted a season of healthy, shiny hair with this latest launch from Dae.
Fenty Skin
Blemish Defeat'r BHA Spot-Targeting Gel
TikTok first showed me the magic of this product, and I need to spread the word here. This spot treatment is made to wear under makeup and reduces the size of the blemish at the same time. It's a need, not a want.
Essie
Nail Polish in Wicked
I love a fun summer color, but I'm so ready for these moody fall hues.
