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

    A bit of personal news: I’m struggling with my Libra tendencies and a plethora of fall arrivals hitting every virtual shelf of my favorite retailers. Everywhere I turn, there’s a new “must-have” version of what I’m looking to shop, and quite frankly, it’s overwhelming. I am learning to be a more decisive shopper, so as a test, I took my dozens of browser tabs and narrowed them down to just 30 strategic buys. One good pair of jeans, one on-trend pair of moto boots, and one (okay, maybe more than one) really good sweater were among the pieces left standing. Of course, there were a few beauty goodies too. If you’re also in the market for a cashmere sweater but don’t have the time to sift through the dozens of options at your disposal, keep scrolling to shop my current wish list.

    I purchased this tote for myself as a little birthday treat, and I can’t believe how much I’ve already used it. It fits everything I need (including my laptop) and is the perfect accent print for my everyday outfits.

    Fall Fashion and Beauty Picks

    Coach Quilted Jacket
    $239 AT COACH

    Before we enter puffer-jacket territory, I recommend shopping this quilted style while the weather permits.

    This sweater dress might as well be labeled as a blanket with how soft it really is.

    This is such a cute fall/winter date night top.

    Fall Fashion and Beauty Picks

    SheGlam Color Bloom Dayglow Liquid Blush
    $5 AT SHEGLAM

    Fall weather unfortunately means drier conditions. I like to reach for a liquid blush over a powder to maintain a glowy look.

    Fall Fashion and Beauty Picks

    Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin Awakening Concealer
    $29 AT SEPHORA

    My friend recently asked me for a new concealer recommendation, and I couldn’t get her to buy this one fast enough. It has the perfect medium-to-full coverage and doesn’t crease throughout the day.

    Fall Fashion and Beauty Picks

    Naturium Multi-Peptide Advanced Serum
    $25 AT NATURIUM

    Peptides are the new buzzy skincare ingredient, but for good reason. They work to reduce texture and improve fine lines. Which, after a week of testing, I can confirm this serum works.

    Fall Fashion and Beauty Picks

    Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask
    $80 AT NORDSTROM

    $50 AT QVC

    I never miss a chance to save on these hydrating eye masks.
