Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Some say being picky is a bad thing, so I like to call myself selective. I’ll admit I have really high standards, but they’re especially high when it comes to fashion and beauty products. I want my investments to be worth it! They have to be good quality, stylish, efficacious, and within my personal budget. Some might say this is a tall order, but the good news is that I find these hidden gems for a living. I won’t stop until I find the best of the best out there, and I think these next 30 items really fit the bill. Below, you’ll find on-trend fashion pieces for spring (that you can easily wear right into summer), staple wardrobe accessories, tried-and-true beauty products, and lots more. Happy shopping!
