Naadam The Original Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
$98 at Amazon
If you’re looking to build a capsule wardrobe this season, Naadam’s Original Cashmere Sweater is the perfect place to start. At less than $100, the piece boasts a timeless fit, classic crew neckline, and oh-so-soft feel (I can attest). While I opted for the versatile black option, you can score the knit in a range of 22 additional options. Another under-$100 style I simply can’t pass up: This dainty initial necklace is from my favorite cool-girl jewelry brand, and it adds a personalized feel to every accessory stack.
Mario Badescu Hydrating Glow Toner
$18 $13 at Amazon
I upgraded my skin care regimen in 2024 and I haven’t looked back since. So, I’m restocking my favorite empties including the Hydrating Glow Toner from Martha Stewart-used brand Mario Badescu. Unlike other toners, the gentle formula doesn’t dry out my sensitive complexion—in fact, it’s quite moisturizing, as its name suggests. Speaking of, I can’t get enough of the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask which fends off pesky winter dryness thanks to its luxuriously rich formula.
Vivaia Margot Mary Jane Flats
$100 at Amazon
Trust me, you can’t head to checkout without taking a peek at my go-to Mary Jane flats from Katie Holmes-worn brand Vivaia. Considering I live in New York City and spend a lot of time on my feet, I’m not willing to sacrifice comfort for style—and with this easy-to-wear pair, I don’t have to. (I mean, how cute are they?) As I wrap up my New Year’s splurge, I’m also eyeing this gorgeous Fossil watch which looks far more expensive than it is.
Head to Amazon to shop my elevated fashion and beauty picks while they’re available from $13.
