Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
We’re about a month out from the official start of summer, and the truth is, I’m kind of dreading it for certain reasons. I live in the South, and the sun, heat, and humidity gets old pretty quickly. But on the bright side, something I love about summer is shopping for it. I’m always happy to seize the opportunity to have a bit more fun with my wardrobe in the summer, and it’s also when some of my favorite types of beauty products are released (think new glowy cream blushes, bronzers, lip glosses, sunscreens, and air-dry hair products).
There’s no reason for my summer shopping list to live in a vacuum, so I’m seizing the opportunity to share it with you so we can all shop together. With that, scroll on for all of fashion and beauty finds I have my eye on for summer 2025.

I wore the black version of this top constantly last summer, and I think the new gingham one will come equally in handy.

Yes, it’s an investment, but the buzz about this gentle exfoliating product (and this brand, in general) is impossible to ignore.

This new shade of Haus Labs’ viral blush sticks is the perfect way to fake a rosy glow from a tan.
