THE BEST PURCHASES OF 2025 | MY MOST-WORN ITEMS OF THE YEAR & WHY THEY EARNED THEIR KEEP

Welcome back to The Gray Edit — today we’re closing out 2025 with the pieces that truly carried me through this year. Not the trends, not the impulse buys… but the 10–15 items I actually lived in, rewore, relied on, and felt my very best in. This episode includes shoes, handbags, clothing, beauty, accessories, and home items that shaped my style and my life this year. Some were investments, some were gifts, and all of them earned their keep. We’re opening this episode with a special partner — IDYL — a jewelry brand I’ve worn nonstop for years. Modular pieces, mixed metals, lab-grown diamonds, and the most intentional craftsmanship… IDYL has truly become part of my everyday identity.
