Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
Fall may officially begin on September 23, but since September 1 is my birthday, I like to get a head start on my favorite sartorial season. If I’m being honest, I’ve never been big on celebrating my birthday, but celebrating fall fashion is a different story. I’ll take any excuse to shop for myself, and the fact that all my favorite brands are dropping their fall collections just in time for my birthday is as good a reason as any.
Between all the new arrivals and endless recommendations from my co-workers, I’ve been inundated with shopping inspo lately. Cozy knits, suede sneakers, chic hats, and cool-weather beauty products are just the beginning, so read on to see all the pieces I’ve added to my wish list to ring in my 29th year.

I already own the black-striped version of this iconic sweater, but I love it so much I need the cream-striped version, too.

Ever since it came out with a denim collection, Raey has been my go-to for fall pants . I’ll be adding these wide-leg jeans to my cart stat.
Chanel Douceur D’équinoxe Blush in Beige & Corail
A pink-and-brown powder blush is the perfect blend for fall.

This neon-green cashmere polo by Lisa Yang is the comfiest thing I have ever felt. I’ll be living in it through the winter.

Nothing says fall like a new beanie.
