Hi Beauties! Today, we’re diving into something super fun: my 2024 Fashion & Beauty Wish List! This list has something for every fashion lover, from statement jackets to must-have bags and boots. Plus, I’ll share a recent shopping experience at Kurt Geiger’s newest store. Let’s go!
1. Maniere De Voir: The Art of Outerwear
I’ve been obsessed with Maneirè De Voir since I got my first puffer jacket from them. Their pieces always deliver on style and functionality, making them a staple in my wardrobe. Recently, I had my eye on their corset-style faux leather jacket, and guess what? It came back in stock, and I ordered it immediately!
Why Maniere De Voir Noir Is Worth It
- Trendy Yet Timeless: Their tweed puffer jackets and faux suede trench coats are ideal for elevating your look without sacrificing comfort.
- Wardrobe Staple: Pieces like their brown suit with structured shoulders are versatile for office-to-outing transitions.
If you’re looking for unique outerwear that stands out, Maniere De Voir Noir is the brand to watch—especially since its Soho store opens this spring.
2. Naked Wardrobe: Affordable Luxe Outerwear
While shopping at Nordstrom, I noticed Naked Wardrobe’s bodysuits and basics, but their coats recently caught my eye. The burgundy faux leather trench coat with padded sleeves is a showstopper!
Naked Wardrobe Highlights
- Outerwear Goals: Their padded trench coats and faux fur jackets are luxurious and surprisingly affordable.
- Statement Suits: Their structured, shoulder-padded suits paired with mini skirts give major ’90s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air vibes
Pro Tip: Wait for Black Friday sales or seasonal discounts to snag these beauties at a steal!
3. Designer Bags: A Dream in Red Suede
One item that completely stole my heart is the Bottega Veneta Anemo Suede Handbag in red. This $8,000 beauty is a splurge, but its vibrant color and unique texture make it worth dreaming about.
If you’re not ready for the investment, consider finding a dupe or opting for pre-loved luxury options. Trust me, a bold red bag will instantly elevate your winter wardrobe.
4. Saint Laurent Slingbacks: Splurge vs. Dupe
The Saint Laurent slingbacks with gold toe caps are an iconic piece, but at $1,350, they’re a serious investment. Luckily, I found an incredible dupe on Amazon that satisfies my need for the style without breaking the bank.
Why I Love the Dupes:
- Affordability: Perfect for testing the waters before committing to the real deal.
- Comfort: Padded soles make these a dream for all-day wear.
Sometimes, the dupe is just what you need to scratch the itch!
5. Awake Mode: Grommets & Cargo Galore
Awake Mode consistently brings the drama. From their grommet-adorned cargo pants to their balloon trousers, this brand is all about creating standout pieces.
While their prices can be steep (think $1,500 for leather trousers), I always keep an eye out for sales. Fashion doesn’t have to be full-price!
6. Ralph Lauren x New York Yankees Collection
As a New Yorker, this collection stole my heart. From bomber jackets to perfectly tailored pieces, the collaboration between Ralph Lauren and the Yankees was a home run.
Must-Have Item: The Leather Bomber
- Price: $1,400
- Why It’s Worth It: Timeless design meets sporty edge.
Even though it’s sold out, I’m on the waitlist—because you never know!
7. Kurt Geiger’s Shoe Wonderland
Recently, I visited the new Kurt Geiger store to check out their latest shoe collection, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint.
Favorites From the Visit:
- Gold-Toe Croc Boots: These boots scream luxury and comfort. The kitten heel is perfect for all-day wear, and the croc pattern adds a touch of glam.
- Velvet Party Heels: Perfect for holiday parties, these velvet beauties with metallic heels are the epitome of festive chic.
Why You’ll Love Kurt Geiger:
Their prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality, with boots starting at $245 and statement bags under $300.
8. Statement Accessories: Pillbox Hats
I’ve been eyeing the pillbox hat trend. One particular style features black fabric with white plaid stitching, giving it a vintage yet modern feel.
How I’d Style It:
- Pair with a tailored coat, leather gloves, and sleek boots.
- Opt for simple hairstyles like a tucked bob to let the hat shine.
Hats are a winter accessory that instantly elevates any outfit.
Curating your wish list is about blending high-end investments with affordable finds. Whether it’s a splurge-worthy designer piece or a fabulous Amazon dupe, there’s room for every budget in fashion.
If you’re shopping this season, don’t forget to look out for sales, explore new brands like Maniere De Voir and Naked Wardrobe, and mix in timeless classics like Ralph Lauren.
