    Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.

    I'm all for spring cleaning, but I'd like to make a case for taking inventory of your closet and vanity before the new year begins. What do you need to donate or take to the tailor? Where are there gaps in your wardrobe? Which beauty products are running low? What makeup have you had for years (that's likely expired)? You get the gist.

    For me, this means investing in some new closet staples and a few fun and trendy accessories I know I'll wear for the upcoming season and beyond. As for my beauty situation, I'm mostly focusing on replacing some tried-and-true favorites, but I also want to try some new brands in go-to product categories and test out a couple of skincare devices (in the name of research, of course). Here's what's on my current list.

    A timeless scent.

    Naplak Patent Leather Ballerinas

    I doubt you'll see me in any other flats once I own these.

    Suede Ballerinas With Crystals

    Unless, of course, I also find myself owning this pair.

    $230 AT BANANA REPUBLIC

    The funnel neck on this puffer coat makes it so chic.

    Rouge Coco Gloss

    Chanel Rouge Coco Gloss in Caramel

    I recommend finding a go-to neutral lip gloss that goes with you everywhere. This is mine.

    Prada Aimée Medium Leather Shoulder Bag

    Prada Aimée Medium Leather Shoulder Bag
    $2850 AT PRADA

    The size and shape of Prada's latest bag has it soaring straight to the top of my wish list. Good thing my birthday is next month.

    $480 AT PRADA

    The only scrunchie I would never let someone borrow (sorry).

    $48 AT CHANEL

    My favorite place to apply this multi-use stick is the top of my cheekbones for a little extra glow.

    If you're not already exfoliating with an AHA product a few times a week, allow me to suggest this one.

    One Skin Face SPF 30+

    OneSkin OS-01 Face SPF 30+
    $56 AT ONESKIN

    A tinted sunscreen is the kind of two-in-one product that makes me feel like I'm winning at my morning routine.

    $125 AT KURT GEIGER

    Animal-print accessories, like these leopard pumps, are an easy way to add interest to a simple look.

    I have a feeling this oversize trench is going to be the hero of my spring capsule wardrobe.

    Charlie Heel

    Snakeskin is basically a neutral as far as I'm concerned.
