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 did a different kind of dry January this year: I gave up shopping instead of alcohol for a month. That means I bought exactly zero new beauty products or wardrobe items for a whole 31 days. That also means I now have a long list of things I would very much like to shop come February 1. Since I haven't been partaking in my usual shopping antics, I've had the time to take inventory of my current possessions and research the best of the best new items. And let me tell you 2022 did not come to play. Now that my shopping hiatus is over, these 30 items are at the top of my list.
Charles
Keith
Croc-Effect Platform Penny Loafers
This buttery-yellow color is everything.
Thrive Causemetics
Brilliant Eye Brightener
This product helps you look awake even after a poor night's sleep or a bad hangover. Just apply under the eyebrow to brighten up your eyes.
En Saison
Midi Dress
My friend bought me this dress (I'm wearing it above) for my birthday, and I seriously love it so much. It comes in this gorgeous pink color, too.
DVF
Melara Striped Knit Sweater
A bright knit is necessary for getting through chilly spring days.
Silver Jeans Co.
Highly Desirable High Rise Trouser Leg Jeans
I've been really into baggy denim styles lately, so I'm excited to try this under-$100 pair.
Alexa Leigh
All Smiles Bracelet
I want this for myself, but it would make a great gift, too.
Versed Skincare
Smooth Landing Advanced Retinoid Eye Balm
My skincare routine is pretty thorough but I surprisingly don't use an eye cream currently. This one feels like a good place to start.
Charles
Keith
Black Padded Platform Thong Sandals
Not to brag, but it's almost warm enough in L.A. for sandals, and these platform babies are a must for everyday wear.
Staud
Switch Dress
This dress plus knee-high boots. You can't tell me that doesn't sound like an A+ outfit.
DVF
Remy Double Layer Mesh Top
I don't know about you, but I'll be layering this mock-neck underneath my go-to black faux-leather blazer.
Thrive Causemetics
Triple Threat Color Stick
This multipurpose color stick melts onto skin for that perfect, dewy look.
Splits59
Airweight Bike Shorts
Sometimes, I need an excuse to work out, and these navy biker shorts just might be it.
Ganni
Recycled Polyester Baseball Hat
A cotton cap, blazer, and denim is my ideal off-duty outfit.
Kopari
Ultra Restore Body Butter
A luxurious body lotion just feels right.
Open Edit
Cutout Detail Cotton Blend Corset Sweater
A subtle cutout? Yes, please.
Charles
Keith
Multicoloured Kora Saddle Crossbody Bag
Wear this with all your favorite spring outfits.
Tan-Luxe
The Gradual Illuminating Tanning Lotion
I'm buying this before an upcoming trip to Mexico because I'm over spending $70 on a spray tan that makes me look orange. Wish me luck!
By.Dyln
Oxford Puffer in Orange
A little pop of color to lift my mood.
Alo Yoga
Varsity Tennis Skirt in White
I may not be the best player at my weekly tennis lessons, but this skirt will give me the extra confidence boost I need.
Kindra
Soothe Bath Soak
I love anything that is chamomile scented so this bath soak is a must.
Charles
Keith
Olive Strappy Heeled Toe-Loop Sandals
I'd expect these sandals to be at least four times the price.
Aureum Collective
Rose Ring
How gorgeous is this statement malachite ring?
Essie
Nail Polish in Mojito Madness
I'm really into bright nail colors at the moment. This green shade just makes me happy.
Skims
Fits Everybody Square Neck Sleeveless Bodysuit
I've heard so many good things about Skims bodysuits, and I love that they come in tons of colors.
Who What Wear Collection
Matilda Wavy Ribbed Cardigan
I can't wait to style this ruffle cardigan with black denim and Chelsea boots.
Merit Beauty
Flush Balm
For a natural bronzed glow.
Song of Style
Pluto Mini Dress in Rose Mauve
I have a feeling I'll get a ton of use out of this minidress for months.
Kindra
The Sleep Enhancing Supplement
Anything to help me sleep better!
FP Beach
Morgan Fauxchet Sweater Set
This matching set is not only adorable but also affordable. It's perfect for a beach vacation.
With Jéan
Lani Dress
This dress would look so cute with a white turtleneck layered underneath until it's warm enough outside to wear it without one.
