The Last 9 Items I Recommended My Friends Should Buy
Those in my closest circle can attest to my round-the-clock sharing of great fashion finds. If you were to look at our group text chats, more often than not, you'll find me sending a screenshot of, or a link to, one of my latest discoveries (along with how I’d style it as well as notes on which friend I could see wearing the piece the most). If you’re curious about my recent finds, I’m digging into my recent texts to give you a glimpse at my current virtual cart this season.
With fall and winter style in mind, I’ve been deep diving into chic outerwear, cozy pieces with shearling details, standout leather finds like a long leather skirt, and even holiday party-ready picks. There are even year-round basics in the mix—hello, crisp blue button-downs. Below, peruse nine of my latest recommendations to buy now and wear for many seasons to come.
1. Shearling Jacket With Toggles
This darker beige shearling jacket has a cool hood as well.
2. UGG Classic Ultra Mini Boots
A shearling boot can be worn with everything from jeans to leggings.
3. Midi Leather Skirt
Whether with boots or heels, a leather skirt is always chic.
Pair a leather skirt with a cozy sweater for an easy stylish outfit combo.
4. Quilted Liner Jacket
This is the exact quilted jacket Jessica is wearing above.
5. Tall Crew Socks
If you're looking for something more luxe, these ribbed socks are a great option.
6. Black Leather Blazer
If you like to keep your sleeves rolled up, this leather option has ruched detailing.
7. Oversized Blue Button-Down Shirt
The roomy sleeves make this button-down look more fashion-forward.
8. Metallic Shoulder Bag
A chain-link strap gives this shoulder bag another trendy boost.
9. Black Open-Knit Dress
Try black underwear to pull off the sheer black dress look.
