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.
The shape of this belted top feels luxe.
This skirt won't stay in stock for long.
I like my jewelry simple and stunning, and this solid-gold pendant necklace checks off both. I'm eyeing the Blush Tourmaline option since it fits with the current blush-pink trend and is recommended for my birth month (October).
Capes are proving to be a must-buy outerwear option for winter.
Silky bottoms are pure luxury.
I already own these in black but love them so much that I'm considering another color too.
This coat looks far pricier than $70.
This clutch version of Alaïa's viral Le Teckel bag is all I can think about.
Editors know all too well that COS has the best budget-friendly coats.
Oh look, it's another future sellout from H&M.
Yes, sheer fashion items are still in.
You might already own Mary Janes, but have you taken a look at this velvet pair?
A merino V-neck for under $200? Say less.
Yes, these are chocolate-brown '80s-inspired earrings.
I keep seeing waist-cinching leather jackets like this. Chloë Sevigny actually just wore Phoebe Philo's version in an editorial… Just saying.
Everybody I know in fashion swears by this COS tee. It's just thick enough.
This belt will make every tee-and-jeans look feel expensive and luxe.
Classic black jeans are always a good idea, especially if they're from Levi's.
Forget Sambas (for now)—these Adidas sneakers are in stock and so, so chic.
Scarf coats are here to stay.
Calf hair is dominating right now, and for good reason. No matter what form it takes on, the resulting fashion item is ridiculously chic.
These are too cute not to purchase on a whim.
I'm so into animal print right now. I can't stop.
These are not only crazy soft and comfy, but they also look really cool peeking out from underneath the waistband of your low-rise baggy jeans.
I have two pairs of these—that's how incredible I think they are.
A cool, elevated, and practical pair of boots is just a quick shipping window away.
I'm finally investing in over-ear headphones. They just look cool—period.
All of a sudden, every chic woman in Paris, Copenhagen, and London is wearing a suede trench coat.
This high-neck, drapey blouse will look so beautiful tucked into column skirts, trousers, and jeans.
A perfect dress to wear again and again.
