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 my birthday month! Although it’s the dog days of summer, August is packed with some of my favorite things: dinner parties with friends, beach days, and a whole bunch of birthday shopping. As I creep closer toward my mid-20s, I want a wardrobe that’s refined but still fun. On my list are polished pieces from Dôen and Reformation, some new activewear finds from Vuori and Lululemon, and of course, some great accessories ranging from pony-hair wedges (you have to see them—trust me) to suede totes. Scroll on for some pre-fall shopping inspiration, and grab something with me as I shop to celebrate Leo season.
