Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
Summer is upon us, and it will be my first one living in the magical city of New York. I moved here last fall, and after a cozy winter and lush spring, sunny days are finally on the horizon. Summer is my favorite time of year, and I have grand visions for this upcoming season: elegant rooftop dining, yoga in Central Park, yachting in the Hamptons, and indulging in soft ice cream on Coney Island (à la Lana Del Rey). These are lofty goals, but what better way to visualize them than to shop for pieces that fit the mood?
I’m looking for a variety of must-haves—think minimalist staple pieces but with a girly or beachy twist . I’m also reaching for simple gold jewelry to elevate my looks and key beauty essentials (hint: lots of SPF ). To see what made my summer wish list, keep scrolling.
I’ll be wearing this bra on repeat to workout classes, errands, and brunch. The coral hue is so trendy and Barbie-esque.

This is so bohemian but still in line with my girly aesthetic.
I’m usually good about applying face and body sunscreen, but I often forget to apply SPF on my lips. This lip balm was an instant holy grail for me. It smells like vanilla marshmallows and applies clear like a lip gloss, but it has SPF 30 to protect your lips.
