I Have a Serious Case of the Shoppies—My Top Picks for What to Buy Right Now, In My Opinion

      Most Wanted is a weekly feature where an editor, team member, or influencer reveals their top 30 essential items or wishlist favorites. When I first listened to a clip of Marie Claire Editor in Chief Nikki Ogunnaike on Liv Perez's podcast mentioning her case of the "shoppies," it struck a chord with me. Finally, there was a term to encapsulate the specific craving we experience in the fashion world when we suddenly want to fill our shopping carts. Personally, this feeling hit me all at once—I haven’t purchased anything fashion-related in almost five months as I was reallocating my shopping budget towards running gear (training for a marathon isn’t cheap, especially with race-day sneakers and a Garmin!). Now that late fall has arrived, there’s plenty to shop for: holiday gatherings, upcoming ski trips, travel-friendly loungewear, and, since I'm on the Sagittarius-Scorpio cusp, an outfit for my birthday—a perfect excuse to indulge myself. With the shoppies at full throttle, I've been bouncing between countless open tabs on my favorite shopping sites, both high-end and budget-friendly. From a stunning holiday-appropriate dress from H&M that surpasses its $139 price tag to a pair of velvet Alaïa mules that would go with everything from dresses to jeans, check out the 30 winter fashion pieces that are motivating me to shop right now.

      The S/S 2026 runways inspired me to add some tasteful fringe to my wardrobe, and this Liberowe jacket seems like the ideal blend of sophistication and playfulness.

      Apologies to snakeskin and crocodile textures, but I'm currently obsessed with eel embossing, especially with this chic clutch.
