When it comes to shopping, I'm a phase person. For months, I'll obsess over one genre, color, or retailer before eventually moving on to something entirely different with equal enthusiasm. So, when I began to zero in on Saks Fifth Avenue a while back, I expected it to be another one of my many phases. But after hours and hours spent scrolling through its pages (and perusing both its Chicago and NYC stores), I'm starting to think that my affinity for the department store isn't a temporary state of mind. Rather, it's becoming a bit of a lifestyle.

If I wasn't positively enamored with Saks yet, my latest 6-hour long deep dive through its never-ending selection would have put me over the edge. But of all the many cart-worthy finds I found along the way, the 39 highlighted below are easily the best of the bunch. From the sunglasses every fashion girl's eyeing right now to the basics that've become the backbone of my wardrobe, scroll down for my tip-top picks from Saks Fifth Avenue right now. 

 

Find me an editor who doesn't wish they owned these—I'll wait. 

The perfect tank didn't exist until this Re/Done x Hanes style was released and changed everything.

Personally, I prefer this sandy shade to chestnut. 

Everyone has a weakness. Mine is beautiful, braided bags. 

These have been on my wishlist for months. 

The kind of shirt you'll wear again and again—and again. 

You really can't go wrong with one of Vince's slip skirts. 

Pair these with dresses, skirts, trousers, or jeans. They go with everything. 

A warm-weather alternative to blazers that's worth testing out. 

When the temperatures spike, strip off the sleeves. 

Cool doesn't even begin to describe this jacket. 

This isn't the kind of dress you just scroll past. 

Ask anyone—I can't stop talking about this dress. 

I'm low-key obsessed with track jackets right now. But really, can you blame me? Especially when the one in question looks like this. 

It's time to restock your basics. 

Compliments are inevitable anytime you slip these on.

If you order these now, they'll arrive on your doorstep by early May.

For the pool, of course, but this skirt works equally as well for going out in the warmer months. 

I already own this set in another color and let me tell you, it's perfect. I'd buy one in every available shade. 

Drowning in drapes is my perfect state of being. 

These '90s-inspired stiletto boots are shockingly chic. 

How could you not want this chocolate-brown, asymmetric top? 

Finally, a pair of jean shorts that aren't super short or super long. The perfect in-between. 

These really need to be seen and experienced in person. 

The perfect blazer for belting and wearing with jeans. 

You've gotta love a bra that doesn't feel like a bra. 

These look just like the Mary-Jane flats that celebs like Zoë Kravitz and Jennifer Lawrence love. 

Vintage jeans with none of the work? Don't mind if I do.

My dreams are just these Saint Laurent heels playing on a loop. 

Don't sleep on fishnet tights. They make every outfit 10x cooler. 

Toss this on top of every spring outfit for a guaranteed winner. 

Classy doesn't even begin to describe these suede kitten heels.
