I'm a Professional Shopper—Here are the 6 Extremely Specific Items I'm Searching for This Month.

      Being a shopper is just as integral to my identity as the town where I was raised. It's not merely an occupation; I feel grateful every day that my career aligns so closely with who I am. When I’m off the clock, I’m often on eBay hunting for rare vintage finds or checking Zara’s new arrivals every Tuesday and Thursday to see what’s appealing. I have alarms set for 6:59 a.m. and 3:59 p.m. to catch The RealReal's latest releases as soon as they drop. This means my wish lists are often packed with unique treasures, and I'm continuously on the lookout for something extremely specific (or several things, if I'm being honest). This month, I’ve decided to share what I’m shopping for in real time instead of keeping it a secret. From khaki denim that I believe will help me break out of my current jeans slump to the handbag color I'm carefully searching for the perfect version of, the six items that occupy my thoughts and have me using all my data are just a scroll away. Trust me—I'm not the only one seeking these items. My other passion, browsing Instagram for intriguing pieces and trends, has revealed that the items below are either already trending among stylish women online or will be soon. So, I invite you to shop them alongside me.

      **Fashion-Editor Wish List July 2026**

      1. **Shrunken V-Neck Sweater**

       **ZARA**

       Balloon Sleeve Knit Jumper

       The fit of this knit makes it perfect for pairing with everything from vintage 501s to a pencil skirt. I know it’s July and too warm for sweaters, but I prefer to shop ahead of the season. That’s how you score the best deals.

       **RENGGLI**

       Silk Cashmere V-Neck Sweater

       I already own this sweater but am contemplating buying another in the same color (this one) or in black. I love and wear it that much.

       **Prada**

       Virgin Wool V-Neck Sweater

       One of my favorite tricks at The RealReal is hunting for vintage designer basics that inspire the modern versions everyone craves. I don't mind that this one has a small hole; a $40 Prada sweater will always be of superior quality compared to a fast-fashion piece that likely costs more.

      2. **Neutral Handbag**

       I’ve had my eye on the Marlo bag since I first saw it on The Row's website, long before it became a celebrity favorite. It’s taken me years to finally decide to add it to my collection.

       **DEMELLIER**

       The Stockholm Full Grain Leather Shoulder Bag

       This color is rich and luxurious, and it pairs beautifully with black, white, navy, dark brown, burgundy, and more.

       Although people might suggest I opt for black or chocolate brown if I’m spending this much on a bag, I think a neutral option is just as versatile while also refreshing my current selection.

      3. **Sleeping Gown**

       **MANGO**

       Lace Detail Nightgown

       I can buy a dress for $100 that I could easily wear once a week all summer, and also layer with a lightweight knit, trench coat, or leather jacket in the fall and spring. Winter might be a challenge, but now that I’m in L.A. instead of New York, I’m sure I can wear it year-round.

       **AgedExclusives**

       Vintage '30s Radcliffe Nightgown

       For unbranded vintage, Etsy is always my go-to. It’s a treasure trove that I never tire of exploring.

       **Reformation**

       Chloe Sleep Dress

       Reformation dresses are one of my many fashion weaknesses, especially recently, as their quality continues to improve.

      4. **Khaki Jeans**

       **STILL HERE**

       Sport Low-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans

       As someone who has over 50 pairs of jeans, I know I shouldn't be buying more denim. However, since moving to L.A., I've struggled with styling my existing pairs, so I convinced myself that adding a new color and silhouette is just what I need. Therefore, I’m eyeing Still Here’s viral Sport Jeans in Pear.

       **Levi's**

       501 Original Fit High-Rise Straight Jeans

       My coworker Kristen Nichols swears by these, so it only makes sense for me to try them out.

       **Reformation**

       Blair High Rise Baby Bootcut Jeans

       The darker rinse makes these feel unique compared to other khaki jeans I've seen on my Instagram feed lately.

      5. **Two-Tone Shoes**

       **Reformation**

       Amelia Heeled Thong

       This green-and-black color combination is rare, which is why I want these heeled thong sandals
