All products featured on Vogue are independently selected by our editors. However, we may earn affiliate revenue on this article and commission when you buy something.

As Vogue editors, we often wax poetic on the latest runway must-haves, but not every item we gush about on this website ultimately ends up in our closets. Our discoveries are nice to behold—they’re lovely to look at and inspire fun conversation—however, of all the tempting things to buy, what did we actually end up purchasing? Each month we’ll highlight those special finds our editors welcomed into their lives—all the things that made us buyers rejoice.

“Whilst I probably didn’t need another black blazer, this one felt different (I promise!) The high neck collar detail and top button feels very modern and I love that you can wear it with a pair of high waisted pants and see a flash of skin (for evening) or a turtleneck and slim leggings for the office. Happy to have added this to my rotating family of the black blazers!” —Libby Page, executive commerce director

But I couldn't ignore the ever-growing call towards the land of the 3 stripes.” —Lucy Dolan-Zalaznick, creative development senior associate

“I thought all button-downs were made equal until I tried SoldOut.NYC's ‘everything shirt.’ The sleeves are tad bit longer than your traditional button-down so they have that chic and effortless rolled up look when you wear it at your wrists, and the drop shoulders and box pleat in the back give it the most beautiful shape when you wear it tucked into a pair of baggy jeans. This button down is also so good that at the 20th Anniversary CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund dinner, much of the fashion community could not stop asking me where my ‘great shirt’ was from! If you need one item in your wardrobe this season, it is this shirt and preferably in every color.” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate

“Even though summer is over, I'm always looking for new sunglasses. I came across a pair from Bonnie Clyde, and it opened the floodgates. I ended up with about ten different shades in my cart and finally settled on these two—but I'm certain that I'll be back for more. And as simple as it may seem, I recently realized that I needed some zip-up hoodies to either dress up under a leather jacket or throw on to run to my local bodega. And I’m convinced that I found the best ones on the market at Elwood. They’re such good quality and the best part is that you can buy them in a pack of three!” —Molly Barstein, associate manager, audience development

“I may have too many trench coats at this point but I couldn't help but to add another to my collection. This one from Entire Studios—one of my favorite affordable, emerging brands—is a bit different. Modern and a little edgy, it has clean lines, an oversized fit and a double-breasted silhouette. It looks so good with my knitted dresses! I also recently got these boots from Massimo Dutti and they’re a fun play on classic suede footwear. They have no details whatsoever, which works well for more textural fall and winter outfits.”—Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer

“After Forces of Fashion, I had the best time sitting with designers Raul Lopez and Kim Shui at the CVFF dinner last week. Running from one thing to another, I threw on my favorite 5-minute fancy look, the Butterfly Top from Ukrainian brand J’amemme. It's so sheer and pleated and pretty (plus, it weighs nothing and packs up super small for trips!). It reminded me to get more pieces from them! Their Fleur Set, Nautilus Bag and Diamond Bra are about to be my new recipe for 5-minute black tie.” —Arden Fanning, beauty editor-at-large

“The latest arm candy I’ve been sporting regularly is my leather shoulder bag from The Raiden Co.—and it’s quite the compliment collector. Aside from the chic structured silhouette, storage space inside the bag and multiple pockets keeps me organized. Recently, I’ve kept everything in there from my makeup touch up products, an umbrella, two different headphone options, keys, and my Glossier hand cream…and there’s still room left over without it being ludicrously capacious.” —Conçetta Ciarlo, associate manager, events

“I am a lover of all things fall—the dewy mornings, crunchy leaves, urge to bake... the list goes on! But more importantly, the transition into my fall wardrobe. I am always finding an excuse to add to my knit and boots collection, but this past month, I got my hands on a new barn jacket that I know I'll get tons of use out of for years to come. Being from upstate New York, the barn jacket is nothing new to me, but I've been obsessed with the spins designers are putting on their own iterations. This Schaefer Outfitter style is lined with the warmest, coziest fleece, and ready for whatever weather comes our way in a tough, water-repellent canvas outer shell. To tote around with me while I gallivant through an orchard or leaf peep in Central Park, I have a new two-in-one mini bag in a delicious cocoa brown that strikes the perfect balance of endless style appeal and essential functionality. Two for two on my latest investments, I'd say!” —Clarissa Schmidt, marketing & production manager

“My favorite Ssense bag brand Marge Sherwood had a pop up in SoHo and I was first in line at the store. The brand is based in Korea and while they’re sold on many retailers online, you can’t get all the colorways at Ssense. They brought every color and style imaginable and I immediately bought the suede baguette bag in a beautiful chestnut brown this month. While I definitely do not need a new purse, I justified this purchase because I can use it everyday without being that precious about it. I’ve already gotten stuck in the rain while carrying this with no umbrella and the leather still looks brand new!” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate

“These delicious chocolate brown suede Steve Madden boots have become a staple in my wardrobe as the weather gets cooler, (and they have been mistaken countless times for the Khaite Brown Dallas Boots that come in at a much higher price point). I love pairing these with a miniskirt or a longer silhouette to bring in a western look. In the event that I opt for a loafer or sneaker, I'm reaching for these Bombas socks. The bow is so darling and adds an element of interest to my shoe game! Upgrading an everyday wardrobe garment such as a sock? That is peak luxury.” —Lea Donenberg, associate producer

For the final evening of the holiday, I paired the piece with a Sandro knitted dress and have never felt more grounded.” —Ciarra Lorren Zatorski, fashion editor

’Tis the season to be jolly (at least for those of us submerged in the world of fashion all year round), as August is to summer what December is to winter. Though lacking in holidays, the rare slow pace of the latter month of summer offers weeks of much needed rest, time away with family and friends, and summer getaways before the storm that is fashion month. Ahead of August travels, Calpak’s Ambeur carry-on luggage and classic Tkees’s classic flip-flops were quickly added and even more quickly checked out of my July shopping cart.” —Ciarra Lorren Zatorski, fashion editor

“In July, as the sun shone brighter and the days stretched longer, I made two fabulous additions to my beach wardrobe. First up, the perfect swimsuit for sun-soaked days: a stunning one-shoulder bikini by Angelys Balek, a Phuket-based designer known for her playful yet sophisticated beachwear. The single-shoulder top channels ’70s styling, while the twisted cut-out adds a modern touch. But my summer shopping spree didn’t stop there. To complement my new bikini, I turned to the house of Missoni for a pair of its signature and oh-so-chic zigzag shorts, which are also lightweight and breezy for the upcoming dog days of August. Together, these two purchases have become my go-to uniform for sunny beach and pool days.” —Sasha Pinto, experiences manager

“This month, I finally invested in a nice pouch to carry all of my summer essentials—keys, wallet, sunscreen, lip gloss, etc. For those constantly on the go like myself, this accessory is bound to keep you both organized and stylish. The best part? Vera Bradley’s prints can easily complement your next beachwear look. I recently picked up a few swimsuits from Blackbough that I am keeping in rotation all summer long.” —Taylor Anderson, associate manager, social media

“I’d be lost without an LBD in my wardrobe. Over the last few weeks, I’ve found that I haven’t stopped grabbing for this slip dress from Cou Cou Intimates. It’s lightweight enough to keep me comfortable in the New York City heat and the lace trim is a subtle but cute detail.” —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media

“In these hot New York City temperatures, jewelry has been making me feel weirdly claustrophobic? I am waiting until the fall to pull out my chunky layered necklaces and bangle stack accessories. But for now, I’ll be wearing his Ring Concierge tennis bracelet that serves a delicious sparkle and feels lightweight on the wrist. This timeless design is my new year-round staple, and my great-great-great-granddaughters will hopefully enjoy it, too.” —Lea Donenberg, associate producer

“It’s been a few years since I last purchased a new workout sneaker, so I’ve been meaning to pick up a new pair for a while now. So, to Bloomingdale’s I went. After trying on a few styles I had been eyeing, I went with the On Cloudtilt sneakers. Zendaya-approved, incredibly cushiony but somehow lightweight, these are ultra-comfortable to wear on a long walk or to play tennis. Speaking of, Lululemon’s pleated tennis skirt has become my go-to for my on-going lessons.” —Kiana Murden, senior beauty writer
