WANT! Fashion Editor Picks
Retail therapy is a real concept and, if window shopping was a college major, I would have my master's degree. I love knowing what’s out there! This new feature is not about needs but about WANTS! It’s about YOLO and FOMO (can I still say that?) all rolled up into one curated editor’s list to help you navigate trends and inspire your own shopping desires. This month’s theme is all about a sporty ‘90s ‘B-girl’ vibe so take a few cues from my own wish list. Check out these stylish hand-selected editor picks.
LADIES NATION ‘90S LOVE CROPPED JACKET ($300)
As a pro ‘girl gang’ enthusiast, this ‘90s Love Cropped Jacket by LADIES NATION is clique #goals. With a quote like “If The Love Doesn't Feel Like R'N'B Than I Don't Want It” this purchase is a win-win. Jackets are also customizable with options to choose the names you wish to add to the sleeve.
KOMONO MONO OCHRE WATCH ($69)
There is something about monochromatic colors that I just find modern and, ultimately, chic. In particular, Ochre is one of the hottest colors of the season and a great pop accent minimalist timepiece with cool understated design. The Mono watch comes in a variety of color options, all available in monochrome.
RICK OWENS x VEJA VEGAN LEATHER AND SUEDE SNEAKERS ($290)
I admit I love a great collab. Rick Owens paired up with Veja to create these eco-friendly kicks, made from recycled plastic bottles saved from landfills with vegan leather that is actually cotton coated with PU created from the waste of the corn industry. Guilt-free shopping, anyone?
BIJULES T BAR GAP ($350)
It seems like forever that I’ve wanted to add the hashtag #girlswithgrillz to my Insta feed. Some of the most iconic style stars, entertainers and actresses (Beyoncé, Tracee Ellis Ross and Madonna, to name a few) are rockin’ grillz these days. I am a product of hip hop culture and a gal with a gap, so I want in! Jules Kim of Bijules presents Charlie Goldcap, the King of Canal Street Grillz since the ‘90s, honoring the living legend with a pop-up gallery launched during New York Fashion Week with the most imaginative modern styles available.
GT BIKES PRO PERFORMER 2020 HERITAGE 26” BIKE($725)
With spring approaching, why not choose an eco-friendly healthy form of transportation to bop about town in style? Look at this monochromatic sleek vision on two wheels. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I hopped on a bike, but I do dream of sunny rides through the city on this all-white cycle. For your cruise controlled ride, this bike, which features a full Chromoly frame with 1986 aesthetics, comes with updated Superlace hubs laced to a double-walled 36 spoke rim.
