“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

“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

“My October buys have a theme: brown! Liffner’s suede bucket bag was love at first sight, and it hasn’t left my side since the moment I got it. I love the belted detailing, and the fact that it can be a laptop tote, while still leaving room for other essentials. Next up? This silky maxi dress from Rumored, with cuff sleeves and an open back. It’s perfect for a fall wedding ! Last, but definitely not least, I have been living in my new cotton and cashmere staples from Minnow—I love mixing and matching them with other pieces, but they also make for an effortlessly chic set on travel days .” — Alexandra Buell, commerce producer

“I have never gotten more compliments on a pair of shoes than the first time I wore my Nomasei loafers to the Vogue office! Not only are they incredibly chic, but they are also deceptively comfortable. I preemptively bought a fresh pack of blister bandaids (another monthly favorite!), and I was in shock realizing I made it through the day without a single blister! I have already gotten lots of wear out this beautiful new sheer cashmere turtleneck, which is the perfect ‘I’m going out to a nice dinner but still want to be cozy’ top. I know it’s only the start of November, but I am already counting down the days to my first holiday party so I can pull out this perfect Posse top!” — Florence O’Connor, content manager

“I did a lot of window shopping during my travels in Europe earlier this fall, but when I spotted Celine’s silver ‘T’ charm, I simply couldn’t walk away without it. Consider me charmed!” — Taylor Lashley, senior manager, social media
“These J.Crew corduroy pants are beyond cozy and comfortable! The perfect pair for those cold, gloomy office days when you want to feel like you’re still in your PJs. I’ve also added another white T-shirt to the mix. I love a little pop of white peeking out from underneath chunky fall sweaters. Such a simple detail, but it makes all the difference!” — Kasey Busiel, production & marketing manager, shopping
“September back-to-school is always a big wardrobe refresh month, especially as we head into the fashion weeks marathon!

“After many seasons spent longing for a pair of slim black loafers, I finally pulled the trigger on G.H. Bas’s Blythes. I was drawn to their sleek, low profile, the high-shine leather, and the beefroll stitching. While they, like all stiff leather shoes, definitely require a little patience with the break-in process (though it’s not anywhere as tough as I imagined), I know I’ll be wearing them all autumn and winter.” — Hannah Jackson, senior fashion writer

“I love the rich colors and textures that come along with fall dressing. I’ve been coveting a brown suede jacket for quite some time, and I was so excited to add Sézane’s Robb style into my jacket rotation for the season. It’s a classic collared style that’s perfect for this in-between weather. I also have an affinity for cable-knit sweaters, and this cardigan from With Nothing Underneath is one that I will be wearing on repeat all fall and winter, styled with a T-shirt or a turtleneck underneath.” — Alexandra Buell, commerce producer

“My September purchases revolved around strategically packing for my three-night trip to Milan to work Vogue World Milan. I was very proud of myself for curating what I felt was the ultimate chic, yet comfortable early fall capsule wardrobe that somehow fit into my carry-on! I wore this very cool Matteau flannel basically every day while I ran around the Galleria in my Margaux shoes, which are the comfiest ballet flats on the market. I decided to pack trousers rather than jeans for this trip (they felt more Milanese?!), so I ended up in these ME+EM trousers and Reformation silk pants for far too many hours. Finally, this Citizens of Humanity leather jacket doubled as a blanket while I spent almost 10 hours in the MXP airport after my flight got canceled! Let’s just say, I am forever bonded with all of these clothing items.” — Florence O’Connor, content manager

“Fall in New York is my favorite time of year, so I stocked up on some cozy basics to layer under coats and sweaters as the temperatures cool.

Finally, with Libra season upon us, I treated myself to this zodiac pendant from Brinker and Eliza, which elevates simple outfits and is a lot more affordable than it looks.” — Fred Sahai, associate commerce producer

“I finally got my hands on a pair of Gewls heels this month, and after wearing them for hours on end at Vogue World Milan and beyond, I can confirm that they’re the heel my wardrobe was missing. I also can’t stop reaching for The Strike from Sidia—it’s such a chic way to house a fragrance.” — Taylor Lashley, senior manager, social media
“I’m not someone who’s ‘excited to get into sweaters again’ (summer forever!), but one silver lining to cooling temperatures is finally getting to wear this pleated purple long-sleeve from Barcelona brand Mais x Frida on nights out—maybe along with these drop earrings from Lisbon jewelry designer Shannon Bond. In cozier acquisitions, I’ve been obsessed with this pointelle pajama set all month long, and I also picked up this turtleneck sweater. It’s made from 100% wool, and I predict it will be a wardrobe mainstay for New York’s winter.” — Elly Leavitt, lifestyle editor, shopping

“NYFW left me feeling inspired, and at the Margaux appointments, I came across their lace-up derby shoes, which I immediately needed to add to my shoe collection. I love the square-toe style. Also, if you saw me this NYFW you’ll know that I wore my Charlie Beads flower clip every single day. I love that it’s so versatile and you can pin it to your clothes or wear it as a necklace or hair accessory. I’ll be buying more!” — Irene Kim, editorial production manager

“I’d been in the market for a peasant blouse for a while, and I’m not sure if this Gap shirt technically qualifies, but it’s flowy and lovely. I bought it in white, and it has become a late summer staple (‘no white after Labor Day’ be damned). It’s sort of a Sisterhood of the Traveling Blouse situation, as I have in fact spotted two other women wearing this around town. That said, I love it so much that I’m thinking about getting it in brown, too.” — Anna Lee, lifestyle writer
“I’ve been in need of an accessories refresh to liven up my wardrobe. Gripping onto the last bits of warm weather, I got snake print flip-flop kitten heels from Anonymous Copenhagen—and yes, I did sport them on my solo trip to Copenhagen, too.” — Conçetta Ciarlo, beauty writer, shopping

“With New York Fashion Week around the corner, I needed to refresh my wardrobe with a few new pieces. I’ve been having a big feeling for color lately, so I purchased a classic Polo Ralph Lauren button-up in a delicious deep purple color.

“I had a wedding in Hawaii this month, and the invite specified to avoid stilettos or any kind of footwear that could sink into the grass. I went the wedge route, and used the opportunity to finally bite the bullet on these Maryam Nassir Zadeh sandals that I’ve wanted for what feels like forever. Even though I previously felt like I couldn’t justify a pair of bright turquoise heels, I’ve found that the shade actually goes with a lot, if you’re into fun, unexpected color combinations, like I’ve been this summer.” — Fred Sahai, associate commerce producer

“I always add a few new pairs of jeans to my closet at the end of summer in an attempt to counteract my sadness that sundress season is coming to an end, and this year was no exception! I’ve been wanting a pair of brown jeans since last autumn and finally found the perfect pair from Agolde. I’ve become so obsessed with the wash and fit of these pants that I actually found myself reaching for them over dresses even in the midst of the August heat! I also picked up a pair from Citizens of Humanity, which I know will be my go-to transition jean—they look equally as cute with a little blouse as they do with a chunky knit. (Yes, I conducted a full fashion show in my apartment to get me excited for fall dressing!) I also ‘accidentally’ tripped and fell into Dôen’s West Village store where I simply had to purchase the new ‘Florine’ top after my work bestie Irene and I convinced ourselves they named the top after us!” — Florence O’Connor, content manager

“I have been obsessed with this bag since someone brought a sample of it into the office a month or so ago. I love the shape, the soft leather, and the saddle color, and I think it looks even better when it is slightly stuffed with all the things I apparently need to carry around every day—including my 12-inch work laptop. I conducted a highly scientific poll (of five people) in the office, and most agreed it is chic with the laptop peeking out, but not everyone was convinced (read: Sammi Tapper, director of operations, special projects). I am choosing to listen to the majority. I am determined to make it work because I really like it, even if my laptop is currently living on the edge. Fashion is about sacrifice, and apparently mine is adequate laptop coverage.” — Sache Taylor, director, special events

“Fall is my favorite season in New York City, but these new dresses in my wardrobe are keeping me happier in this warm weather. I am loving so many of Hill House Home’s feminine cotton dresses, and luckily, this Scarlette dress is perfect for both summer and fall thanks to its jewel-tones and partial sleeves. This lovely Bethilde dress from Dôen is also new to my wardrobe. Its delicate lace trim and spaghetti straps are certainly part of the appeal, but I’ll also be layering a sweater over this to extend its mileage during cooler months. The Daily sweater by Heidi Merrick is one of my absolute favorites, so I very enthusiastically decided to add another colorway into the mix, along with a pair of not-too-light but not-too-heavy linen pants.
When I was on Martha’s Vineyard this month, Edgartown’s brand-new Alex Mill store was having an embroidery event, so I jumped at the opportunity to buy a Perfect Daily tote, with my initials and a red lobster embroidered down the front. It has already been a new staple, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that, despite its compact size, it fits my laptop (and then some!). To round out the month, I finally decided to try Margaux’s Phoebe flats in this luxurious, python-embossed burgundy leather. It was love at first wear—I cannot believe how soft and comfortable the leather is!” — Alexandra Ditch, commerce producer

That is what drew me to Booch Bags—the unexpected fabrics, the beautiful Italian leather, and the fact that each one feels so individual. They are special without being precious, which is exactly how I want my accessories to feel. And because each fabric is made in such a limited run, you are unlikely to spot the exact same one twice. Plus, the surprise lining inside? A very good little fashion secret.” — Rose Carlisle, manager, special events
