Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
I love to adorn myself with pretty accessories. A pair of pearl earrings, a shiny gold bangle, or a hair bow is the perfect finishing touch to make me feel put-together. While I admit that my style leans minimalist, I'm always looking for accessories to add depth to my outfits. Currently, I'm eyeing sculptural gold earrings, dainty chains, and some classy handbags that my closet is missing. To me, these are essentials—keep scrolling to see my top picks.
Goyard totes have surged in popularity recently. I love all of the colorways, but black is my favorite.
