This Cyber Week, I’m always on the hunt for new wardrobe essentials. I have my eyes set on a new everyday crossbody, like A.P.C’s classic half-moon (on sale for under $300) and office-ready blazers, like this pinstriped version from Sandro.

Cyber Week is the perfect time to stock up on winter wardrobe staples. A cozy knit like this one at J.Crew comes in handy year after year. I’m also thinking its time for new coat. The faux shearling Mango number is right up my alley (and looks considerably warm). On the home front, I think it’s finally time to buy a Dyson vacuum. Lastly, I’m in dire need of new luggage; can you believe I haven’t owned anything larger than a carry-on in years? Away’s Medium size is a no-brainer.

Khaite’s croc-stamped boots are a quintessential staple, I’d argue the loafer version is just as good (and one of the best Black Friday shoe deals around)!

I’ve been looking for little silver drop earrings and came across these beauties from Sophie Buhai in Ssense’s Black Friday sale. A must! And for the holiday season, I realized I have lots daytime bags, but not enough party ones. Rabanne’s are pure fun—and, most importantly, will never go out of style.

I’m obsessed with chunky ’80s-inspired earrings. So this season I’m excited to shop ritzy pieces—like these Alexander McQueen earrings; one of the Black Friday jewelry sale finds. I’ve also had my eye on this Proenza Schouler dress for a while now, and I can’t believe it’s on sale.

The Khaite Lotus bag is iconic all on its own, but in a baby blue hue, it’s taken to a whole other level. I plan on sporting mine with an all-white winter outfit for that perfect punch of color. Then, there is this slouchy pair of Agolde corduroys, which are fabulously festive for fall. Styling-wise, they look great with a kitten-heel boot or sleek loafer.

I’ve been eyeing Hill House Home’s Olympia skirt the moment it dropped and I think I’m finally going to make my purchase this weekend. The lace trend isn’t going anywhere just yet, and what better material to don as you prepare for festive occasions this holiday season? I’ve also been running again and I’m planning to buy a few layering essentials for when it gets a bit chillier, such as this Smartwool tie-dye top.

My collection of boots seems to grow every winter, so what’s the harm in adding another pair—especially one that’s on sale? I’ve been loving everything red as of late, and these Paris Texas knee-high boots are a must-have. And in the spirt of dressing chic while staying snug, I’ve got my eye warm coats that can be dressed up—or down—all season long.

Réalisation Par makes some of my favorite dresses to wear to weddings, parties, and vacations so I’ll be shopping for some more silk pieces on Cyber Monday if they go on sale. They’re so easy to wear as you just need to throw one on and just wear a cute little heel! I’ve also been wearing my Artizia Slouch coat almost daily for a month now as it’s just so cozy to throw on in the morning especially when I’m going to my 7 a.m, hot yoga class, and I’ll maybe invest in another color so I can mix up my color palette a bit.

This Cyber Week I’m on the hunt for elevated but versatile basics and accessories. I’m in my belt era so this one from Khaite is the next piece that I’d like to add to my collection if I see it marked down.
