The Fall Wishlist of a Chronic Window Shopper

I’m a chronic window shopper as in: I make a giant wishlist of what I want, watch it all sell out, and then live with crippling regret for the next 60 business days. I rarely spend money on new items, and when I do, it’s because I’ve ruminated on it for a considerable amount of time before finally purchasing. My long deliberation is driven by both my indecisiveness and my desire to be as conscious of a consumer as possible.

However, if I had a limitless budge and was quicker to act, these are the 13 items I’d purchase, ranging from clothing and accessories, to bags and shoes, to jewelry and…a surprisingly chic water bottle?

Fall Wishlist

October is here, and it’s officially autumn.

I love dressing in layers—there’s something about chunky knits, blazers, and boots that seems to unlock a level of creativity in the way I style an outfit that was dormant all summer. Though the temperatures in Los Angeles seem to have missed the memo, I’m counting down the days to when I’ll be able to break out the sweaters that have been taunting me in my closet since spring.

The anticipation of cooler temps combined with a recharge of inspiration ushered in by a new season has my moodboard and wishlist overflowing. And even though I’m just online window shopping with these pieces, I still wanted to be selective. You’ll find that each item on my wishlist is either from an ethical or sustainable brand, vintage or secondhand, or an investment piece surely to outlast trends and be a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
