I've Been Shopping for 3 Hours—30 Items I Either Added to My Cart or Already Bought
Sometimes, you just have to dedicate a large chunk of your day to shopping online for pretty things. Sure, there are more productive things I could be doing, like writing out my 2025 goals and finally booking my flights for an upcoming trip. (Middle seat, here I come.) Instead, I've been scrolling through my favorite retailers' new-arrivals pages for three hours and feel blissfully satisfied with myself—probably because of all the shockingly good finds I've come across. Think cashmere sock boots (yes, those exist), a sleek and on-sale J.Crew sweater that gives Tom Ford–era Gucci vibes, and the best jeans on the planet. Trust me. You'd be thrilled, too, if your latest haul went this well.
Luckily, it can. Unlike pesky gatekeepers, I'm happy to share the wealth of knowledge I gained during my morning of retail therapy. And it's all just a scroll away. Below, find 30 winter fashion items that I either already bought or are currently residing in my shopping cart. As long as you don't take the last one in stock, the whole lot is yours for the taking. Please, don't feel guilty about shopping in the middle of the day. January is hard—you deserve a fashion distraction.
Calf hair is dominating right now, and for good reason. No matter what form it takes on, the resulting fashion item is ridiculously chic.
