I get really excited for birthdays—especially mine. With my "born day" quickly approaching, my family and friends have become quite persistent in demanding I share my birthday wish list with them. As a style-obsessed fashion editor, I have a wide variety of window-shopping tendencies, so I definitely have an idea (or two) about some things I’d like to receive. I decided to take you along for the ride by including 28 wish list wants on my mind as I approach 28 years old.
Ahead shop a wide range of items from high-ticket luxury splurges to everyday affordable chic styles. Keep scrolling to uncover under $40 earrings that look extra luxe, pretty blue sneakers for casual spring looks, a bold party dress for my special day, and so much more.
