I’ve Been in L.A. for a Week—My West Coast Co-Workers Sold Me on These Products
It didn’t take much convincing.
Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
Last week, the time finally came for me to fly across the pond to spend some time with my Los Angeles–based team. As happy as I was to finally see them in person rather than on a screen, I was equally as excited to get the 411 on which trends and products they’re loving at the moment. And boy, they did not disappoint. First of all, they’re leaning into the quiet-luxury trend with Sofia Richie Grainge–approved brands such as Posse, whose basic linens scratch that itch. As for beauty, I’ve been convinced to try Chanel’s Le Vernis nail color in Ballerina (a classic, barely-there pink shade) and the Origins milky cleanser, which melts away makeup like magic. But there’s so much more, so keep reading to see all the fashion and beauty products L.A. editors are loving right now.
