These 21 Summer Pieces Have Officially Talked Me Into a Self-Gifting Spree
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top must-haves or current wish-list items.
If you’re my husband, please know that everything you’re about to read is a joke. And maybe just skip this article altogether? Okay, thanks.
Here’s the thing: I can’t stop shopping. Everyone has their vices, and adding things to a shopping cart is mine. In my defense, I’m a fashion editor. I spend my 9-to-5 looking at clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, makeup, skincare—you get the idea. Shopping is practically an occupational hazard. Plus, I work hard. Don’t I deserve a little treat now and then? And this season, I’ve found things that have made it especially hard not to spend money.
Thankfully for both my bank account and my marriage, I can’t actually buy everything I fall in love with. (See, Colton? I’m showing restraint.) So instead, I’m sharing my favorite finds with you. I’ve uncovered micro shorts that belong on every summer packing list, one-piece swimsuits begging to be put in your suitcase for a European summer, the sunglasses your favorite celebrity was just spotted wearing, and so much more. Consider this my self-gifting cart—and both of us get to check out.
