    Most Coveted is a bi-weekly shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.

    While the current weather might suggest otherwise, fall is just around the corner. It always sneaks up on me—one moment I'm enjoying a beach weekend and the next I'm looking for new boots and cardigans to wear. This year I'm prepping my wardrobe early by curating my wish list of must-have fall fashion items, so I'll be ready when the weather inevitably changes. Filled with transitional separates and stylish accessories, this edit will definitely get you excited for the upcoming season.
