Let's Go, Fashion People—These Are the 11 Items I Recommended to the Stylish People I Know
Your shopping director here.
As you probably guessed from the title, we're talking about shopping today. Okay, yes, as a shopping director, we're basically chatting about shopping every day. I specifically wanted to jump in here to share the 11 modern staples I recently suggested to various people in my life (all super stylish) when they've asked for my advice. Hey, these picks could also potentially inspire your spring and summer wardrobe.
Below you'll find the tee I'm wearing on repeat and also sending to anyone who will listen, the most beautiful pair of forever earrings (hi, Chanel), and of course, the sandals that will carry you through the entire season. I also rounded up even more new arrivals for summer 2026 to expand upon my initial list.
My Shopping Director-Approved List
A long-sleeve white tee is simple yet chic styled with relevant pieces (like silk pants). I've sent this COS pick to many people because it's a great weight and the right neckline.
One of my best friends asked for a fun pair of pants to wear to events, so I sent these amazing taffeta barrel pants. The fashion crowd is going wild for them.
My mom's friend is interested in investing in a pair of everyday earrings. Naturally, I sent her my favorite pair from Chanel's dreamy Coco Crush line.
The shape! The size! This clutch is simply stunning.
These embossed flip-flops are easy yet elevated. You can style them with many different outfits.
Yes, I've sent these lace-trim shorts to at least three family members.
This is one of the bags that will get you instant compliments.
These sandals come in a range of colors.
Similarly to a white long-sleeve tee, a baseball tee is also a standout style for the season. Love.
Fun and cool sneaker alert! Plus, the color!
Such a lovely printed skirt that looks more expensive than it is.
