Although the weather isn't as chilly as usual in California, I'm fully leaning into fall fashion this week. Plus, I'm always searching for the buzziest new products out there as a senior shopping editor. This season, I'm loving velvet dresses, bold sweatsuits, and feathered pajamas.
If you have ever wondered what shopping editors add to their wish lists, now is the time to see for yourself. I curated a roundup of the coolest releases out there to get you in the September state of mind. Prepare to reach for your credit card — I already did.
Head-to-Toe Red: Zara Knit Jogging Pants
I am all for the candy apple red shade of this Zara Knit Sweatshirt ($50) and Zara Knit Jogging Pants ($50) — it's giving me childhood back-to-school vibes. I'll throw it on with some white sneakers on the weekends.
Easy Breezy Shift: Show Me Your Mumu Birdie Mini Dress
When it's too hot for sweaters but too chilly for shorts, this Show Me Your Mumu Birdie Mini Dress ($158) is the perfect transitional piece. I personally love how it looks with white boots.

I think my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on this fun and gorgeous Sleeper Party Pajamas Set with Feathers ($290). Whether you're preparing for the holidays or you just want to feel fabulous, I think this design is a must have.
Effortless Autumnal Top: Free People Keep It Sleek Printed Bodysuit

A Handmade Fall Accessory: Heads of State Hat
If you want a truly special accessory that will top off a chic fall outfit, this Heads of State Hat ($199) is worth the investment, trust me. You can build your own hat perfect for you, selecting everything from the silhouette to the colour. The Brooklyn-based brand handcrafts these hats and for every one sold, a portion of the profits is donated to the Melanoma Research Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the treatment and cure of melanoma cancer.

A simple way to take your classic jeans and tee look up a notch is by putting on this H&M Oversized Coat ($60). It's incredibly cosy and very on-trend for this season.

A Graphic Pullover: Lou & Grey Mountainside Sweater
Isn't this Lou & Grey Mountainside Sweater ($90) so beautiful? Prepare to get a truckload of compliments.
An Affordable Design: Universal Thread Balloon Long-Sleeve Dress
Honestly, I can't believe how affordable this stylish Universal Thread Balloon Long-Sleeve Dress ($35) is — it looks designer. I would get it fast before it sells out.
A Cute Autumnal Mini: Cider Retro Pattern Skirt
I'm a suck for a mini, and this Cider Retro Pattern Skirt ($18) will look amazing with knee-high boots. The '70s-inspired print gives it a vintage look.
Next-Level Cuddly: Skims Teddy Zip-Up Hoodie
This Skims Teddy Zip-Up Hoodie ($88) looks ridiculously soft and comfy — it even comes with matching sweatpants. The collection will go out of stock fast because it's so coveted, so grab your pieces quickly.
A Wedding Guest Must Have: AQ/AQ Extra AF Holly Dress
The rich blue hue of this AQ/AQ Extra AF Holly Dress ($261) is absolutely stunning. I have my eye on this piece for a wedding I'm attending, and I think it's finally time to make the purchase. It's the perfect design for a fall celebration.
