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

    While I love the winter, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't counting down the days until spring (52, if anyone was wondering). There's so much I genuinely adore about this time of year—the art of layering, the excuse to lean into rich textures, and all the cozy vibes—but by the time February rolls around, the extra layers start to feel excessive, and my dry skin is begging for a little mercy. I miss the sun on my face, nights that don't start at 5 p.m., and not having to plan an outfit around how cold it is outside. Until then, though, these are some fashion and beauty essentials that are carrying me through the last few weeks of winter and making the season's final stretch far more bearable.
