Most Wantedis a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
I grew up always having a bit of an obsession with shopping (walking into my hometown Nordstrom will always give me a nostalgic thrill), but it wasn't until I moved to Los Angeles that my addiction was full force. I mean, how could it not be? I'm constantly getting major inspiration from fashion girls I see around the city, local bloggers I follow on IG, and most of all, my Who What Wear co-workers.
So yes, my style has been influenced by this fashionable town, but I'll always stay true to my personal brand—on-trend, simple, and (shh!) affordable. Want in on what I'm shopping? Without further ado, keep scrolling for my official L.A. wardrobe items—some I already own, some I need to buy again, and some I'm just plain obsessing over.
Topshop
Ecru Faux Leather Tie Shacket
L.A. weather never really quite requires a real jacket, so I've been opting for the stylish "shacket” trend instead.
Mango
Braided Design Bag
I wish I could say that I could afford dozens of designer handbags, but I can't. Luckily, I'm able to hunt for expensive-looking options from my favorite retailers.
H&M
Straight-Cut Jacket
I just bought this, and it's becoming quite the office wardrobe staple. I love throwing it over a white turtleneck.
UO
Mallory Jacquard Midi Slip Dress
A slip dress is a staple in any L.A. girl's closet because it can be dressed up or dressed down. Tip: Throw a sweater on top when it's cold outside and it'll double as a skirt.
Palinda
One Shoulder Solid Sleeveless Bodysuit Stretchy Leotard Top
I bought this on Amazon last year, and I've worn it 100 times since. I'm about to buy another in case something ever happens to my OG!
Adidas
Yung-1 Suede and Mesh Sneakers
At work, you can usually find me in boots, but on the weekend, I live in Adidas. Take it from me: midi dress + sneakers = the easiest (but trendiest) outfit ever.
Soko
Fania Drop Earrings
In L.A., an outfit is never complete without some jewelry. These are the perfect statement accessory to spruce up any simple look.
& Other Stories
Puff Sleeve Maxi Wrap Dress
Perfect for office meetings and date nights alike.
UO
Alexa Strappy Sandal
Let me tell you the strappy-sandal trend is not going anywhere for a while. A friend wore this pair the other day, and I couldn't believe they were under $50, so naturally, I added them to my cart immediately.
PacSun
Stone Marble High Waisted Straight Leg Jeans
I get at least two people asking me "where did you get your jeans from?" every day. The answer: PacSun. I've converted so many friends and co-workers (and even a stylist!) into stans of the denim—this pair in particular.
Tom Ford
Slater 51mm Injected Cat Eye Sunglasses
I never leave my house without a pair of sunglasses. Nordstrom Rack's best-kept secret is its collection of majorly discounted designer pairs.
H&M
Ribbed Sweater
More and more neutrals seem to be trickling their way into my wardrobe.
Nike
Half-Zip Cropped Sweatshirt
"Just got out of bed" weekend coffee run, but make it chic.
H&M
Pleated Wrap Dress
Say hello to my new favorite work dress.
Mango
Small Knot Bag
Affordable, easy, and ultra stylish. Mango does it again!
Reformation
Isabel Ribbed Stretch Tencel-Blend Bodysuit
My love for bodysuits continues.
Maison Miru
Eternity Echo Ear Cuff
I only have one piercing but long for the look L.A. cool girls wear with multiple earrings. This cuff gives me major ear candy without having to face my fear of needles.
Mango
Bow Midi Dress
I snagged this right when it went on sale. I'm really a sucker for a good midi dress.
Mango
Relaxed Fit Faux-Leather Pants
I have a habit of sticking to jeans, but this pair of faux-leather pants has swayed me to branch out.
Mango
Back Neckline Body
My going-out-top style has definitely been elevated since college.
L*Space
Lee Lee Bikini Top
It's only February, and I'm already at the beach (perks of L.A. weather). My closet is stocked with dozens of bikinis, but this style from L*Space has been my favorite for a while now.
Mango
Striped Flowy Shirt
This is giving me Beverly Hills Hotel vibes. Pair this with the tan leather pants above and you're golden.
Urban Outfitters
Oval Link Sunglasses Chain
I've seen so many co-workers with these, so it's time to finally add them to my sunnies.
Mango
Pleated Bermuda Shorts
I've seen more and more of these long shorts pop up on cool girls around the city. The faux leather on this pair is a chic bonus.
& Other Stories
Duo Sphere Chunky Ring
It's crazy how just one ring can completely upgrade your whole look.
