Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
I live for clothes, beauty, and shopping—so much so that I figured out how to get paid while doing it. My style evolves so much because I get introduced to a bevy of new brands on the daily, but I’d be lying if I said my location didn’t also have a role in the clothes I wear and the products I use.
As a young girl born and raised in London, I was constantly surrounded by fashion culture and the style squad. My mood boards were always filled with images of It girls running errands in Marylebone and taking a coffee break on the streets of Bloomsbury. So it’s no surprise that these same women influence the way I dress now that I’m older. Over the years, I’ve become my American friends’ go-to person for advice on how to dress like a quintessential British girl, and I have a lot of wisdom to dish out.
Whether it’s wearing a bodysuit under your sweatshirt when it’s cold, buying jeans slightly on the bigger side, or wearing cream blush and mascara on “no-makeup days,” I’ve got all the secrets you need to create the perfect British-girl look. Below, I’ve rounded up 30 pieces I’ve added to my arsenal this season.
Commando Ballet Stretch-Jersey Turtleneck Thong Bodysuit
Worn on its own or under a looser top, this bodysuit is the perfect fit for a seamless look.
JW Anderson Chain-Embellished Leather Slippers
The cult JW Anderson slides are back in stock, and I’ve never run to checkout faster.
I will never tire of my love for Skims, and adding a cozy, light loungewear set for the warmer months is a given.
Let’s not forget the matching boxer shorts.
Staud Ria Crochet And Leather Cross-Body Bag
It’s always fun to run around London with a small bag, and this Staud crochet crossbody is spacious enough to hold my essentials without being a hassle.
Adidas Originals Samba Vegan Shoes
Do I really need to convince you to buy the season’s It sneaker?

A tarnish-free rope chain necklace to add to my stack this season? Yes, please.

It’s nearly espadrille weather, and I’m adding this modern Cole Haan loafer hybrid into my wardrobe just in time.

Body makeup can be a risky move when you wear as many neutrals as I do, but Patrick Ta really came through with this product, which has zero transfer.
