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.
The Pop of Color “Time to make the fall switch: this month I invested in color blocking and protecting my skin from chilly autumn air!” —Chloe Malle, head of editorial content The Elevated Staples “Blazers have always been a wardrobe staple of mine. The right tailoring does much of the work for you, instantly making an outfit feel more polished and pulled together; I picked up Cos’s longline style earlier this month. I always have room for one more skirt in my wardrobe, and this Prada one is the most recent addition to my collection.
I’ve found skirts to be some of the most worthwhile pieces to invest in thanks to their versatility across seasons. As the days grow cooler, I love experimenting with layers– pairing a skirt with boots and a tailored trench, or playing with proportions by double-layering cashmere knits. Last but not least, I picked up this charm (along with a few others) at the Celine store in Paris. (Is it even Paris Fashion week without a little shopping between shows?) They’ve quickly become some of my favorite finishing touches.” —Lisa Aiken, SVP, commerce The Faded Leather Pumps “I am on a fall shoe kick, and have treated myself to a pair of the Liisa pumps in a worn-in leather.” —Madeline Fass, fashion market director The Fall Haul “As much as I hate to say it, fall is in full swing now, and my wardrobe definitely needed a cool-weather update.
I’ve been living in this Rumored suede jacket since the temperatures dropped—it’s the perfect dark shade of brown and goes with everything. Other fall essentials that I added to the rotation are a plaid flannel, dark jeans, and a pair of rain boots. Finally, I’ve been loving carrying Parker Thatch’s magazine tote to work.
Disclaimer: It does not fit much other than a laptop and some essentials, but I love how minimal the silhouette is for everyday.” —Fred Sahai, associate commerce producer The Statement Coat “It was my birthday this month so I went a little heavier on the shopping than usual. One thing I invested in was a croc leather coat, in a camel color that looks so decadent for the fall season! Arma is my favorite leather goods brand.” —Irene Kim, editorial production manager The Bold Knit “Two of my favorite things: silver jewelry and red clothing.
Almina Concept’s tomato-colored V-neck has the perfect slouchy shape and drop sleeves, and I’ve been wearing it non-stop this month.” —Elly Leavitt, lifestyle editor, shopping The Designer Ankle Boots “I wanted to get a head start on shopping for fall boots this year, so I can make the most of them. I’m torn between black and burgundy—which ones shall I keep?” —Libby Page, VP, commerce The Cheerful Gown “I’m heading to a beach wedding next weekend and have been on the hunt for a playful, colorful take on black-tie dressing. This vibrant style from Colleen Allen fit the dress code perfectly!” —Minty Mellon, commerce market editor The Autumnal Color Palette “My October buys have a theme: brown!
