Recently, someone told me I’m their financial advisor’s sworn enemy, and I can’t say I’m offended. If you think about it, my advice has led to endless shopping inspiration, great style, and even better taste—and for that, you’re welcome. I may influence people to spend instead of save, but it’s all in the name of fashion, baby.
In this week’s installment of “Just Buy It,” we’re exploring August’s new fashion and beauty arrivals. We’re starting to see fall items like corduroy cargos and lightweight cashmere polos make their debut alongside innovative beauty products that could elevate any look. Tower 28 released a cleanser version of its viral SOS spray, and T3 launched a hair tool that gives me the best blowout I’ve ever had. I’m finding some exciting items over here, and of course, I’ve curated all my favorites for you below.
