"I knew from the minute I hit "Publish" on our Gap x Dôen coverage that I wanted this eyelet midi dress. Sure, I have a few white sundresses already, but I loved the tiered skirt and ruffled straps. (They're wide enough to safely conceal bra straps, BTW.) It hasn't been warm enough in NYC to break it out quite yet, but trust that I am ready to wear it with fisherman sandals and my favorite Celine sunglasses when it finally breaks 70 degrees."—Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor

"Tomato girl summer is back and there's no chicer hand soap than this formula from Flamingo Estate. The amber bottle looks so gorgeous on the edge of my sink and the herbaceous scent lingers on the skin for a perfect summer night vibe. Trust me, it's worth it to invest in a nice soap as a treat yourself moment."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"I'm all about minimal yet impactful jewelry. So, when Jenny Bird (my favorite jewelry brand ever) released new anklets for the summer season, I knew I had to have one to amp up my warm-weather outfits. I'm already imagining how cool this shiny chain will look with flip-flops and Bermuda shorts. It's even water-resistant, so I can wear it with my bikinis!"—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I've got a busy summer schedule ahead, so I need a practical pair of bottoms that can keep up with my every move. Thanks to Aritzia's CruiseLinen™ Lodge Pants, I've just found my match. Designed with a streamlined silhouette and a neutral shade, these trousers will complete any relaxed summer outfit. I can envision myself wearing them alongside a button-down shirt for days in the office, or even with a swimsuit for balmy moments by the shore. Plus, these floaty pants are stitched with a breathable blend of linen, so they're bound to keep me cool."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"For my summer hikes in the mountains, this balm keeps my skin super hydrated. I love that I can use it on both my lips and cheeks!"—Andrea Stanley, Executive Editor

"I've been on the hunt for my summer purse since February, but this month I finally found it: a beaded bag. Instead of going full lobster-core (IYKYK), I chose a less nautical number from Staud, a.k.a. the beaded bag haven. Covered with hand-beaded palm trees and flowers, the blue and white beads compliment any outfit in my closet. I can't wait to see how it looks on the beach come June."—Meguire Hennes Staff Writer, Fashion

"I did it—I finally got a pair of Bermuda shorts. I chose this pair from Agolde because they have a relaxed, baggy fit. They sit right at my hips and are surprisingly easy to style. I've been wearing them with knee-high boots, chunky sneakers, and kitten heels. Bottom line? They're the best thing I've bought for my personal style this summer."—Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce Editor

"I've long relied on Boden's breezy summer dresses, and this comfy jersey style is my new favorite. The citrus print is adorable, and with a pair of white sneakers or sandals, this dress will carry me from NYC to Norway and everywhere in between this summer."—Kristin Contino, Senior Royal and Celebrity Editor

"I'm calling it now: banana perfumes are about to be everywhere. I've noticed more and more fragrance brands releasing summery scents with the unexpected note, and I'm on board. 27 87's take on the fragrance trend is a yummy concoction of banana, honey, bergamot, and jasmine. The opening notes are deliciously sweet and fruity, while the base notes boast a lovely floral fragrance. Don't mind me if this is the only perfume I wear for the next three months."—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I've known about Leatherology's incredible cosmetic cases for quite some time (I used the brand's large train case as my work makeup bag and I'm deeply obsessed with it). However, I had no idea that Leatherology also offers handbags, and I'm kicking myself for not trying them sooner. Their Alex Vertical Work Tote is the perfect everyday bag for the office. While I had my doubts about the straps holding up, they've shown no signs of wear and tear. I've since added a few other totes from the label in my shopping cart, and I can confidently say Leatherology is about to become my entire personality."—Ariel Baker, Beauty Writer

"I have a few weddings coming up this summer—and I'm a bridesmaid in one of them—so I was in desperate need of a pair of versatile nude heels. Given that I rely on Stuart Weitzman for its range of comfortable shoes, the brand's Nudistia 75 Sandals were an obvious first choice. The 75mm heel is perfect for dancing all night long without any discomfort or pain. I've been wearing them around the house to break them in, but honestly, there's no need for that because they've instantly molded to the shape of my feet."—Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce Editor

"I am not a lip balm girl in the summer (wearing oily lip products in the sizzling heat can actually dry out skin and cause hyperpigmentation, especially for people of color). However, this product put my worries to rest. It's filled with nourishing ingredients—like licorice root and Marula oil—that work together to shield skin from the sun. My lips feel so hydrated after using this product and I truly can't stop reapplying it."—Ashlyn Delaney, Associate Social Media Editor

"I live out of my work tote, but I've been using the same black leather bag for a while now. For the warmer months ahead, I'm looking to switch things up with a tote that has a summery touch. Madewell's woven bag feels right for sweltering temperatures and I'm obsessed with its rich-looking brown shade. Plus, this carryall is roomy enough for all of my necessities (and then some)."—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I'll blame (or thank) our very own beauty team for this new obsession of mine. They hooked me up with an incredible facial at the famed Surrey Spa on the Upper East Side ahead of the Met Gala red carpet. I was initially hestitant because my skin is prone to ecezema and previous facials have left it raw and red instead of hydrated and glowing, but the spa exclusively uses Sisley Paris products that they promised would work on my sensitive skin. This enzyme mask in particular leaves your skin so unbelievably, unimaginably smooth, gently getting rid of bumps, roughness, and congestion in just 60 seconds without leaving it dry and flaky. I immediately purchased it and have loved adding it to my skincare routine."—Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"Repeat after me: you can never have too many pairs of black bottoms. These utility pants are the epitome of cool seasonless style and will pair perfectly with everything from a cropped white T-shirt to a breezy butter yellow button-down. Plus the stretchy waist is exactly in line with my promise to only wear soft clothes for the next few months."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"I trust Executive Editor Andrea Stanley's book recommendations implicitly. When she said Karen Russell's novel about a Dust Bowl town and a mystic known as a "Prairie Witch" was her top pick of the year, I ran straight to my nearest bookstore. I'm already telling everyone I know to read it, too—even though I'm only a few pages in. It's magnetic."—Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor

For as long as I can remember, my mom has worn Elizabeth Arden's Red Door fragrance. Its sweet blend is a floral bouquet of lilies, roses, orange flowers, and ylang ylang leaves, and I bet any other mother would love this scent, too. I'll be restocking my mom's supply with this gift set, which includes a bottle of perfume and a few extra surprises."—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

“I am a cozy girl to my core, and finding the perfect sweat set for warm weather has proved to be a mega-challenge—until I found THE single best pant-top combo at Aritzia. These pants are super lightweight and very flattering on my butt (I have a flat tush and joggers often leave me looking like I'm wearing a diaper). The matching top instantly makes me feel pulled together. I've honestly worn these sweats four days in a row at this point, and after my mom saw them, she asked for a pair too.“—Samantha Holender, Senior Beauty Editor

I know it may seem like all sheet masks are the same, but this medical-grade holistic treatment is truly otherworldly. When my skin is stressed and reactive, it's the first thing I reach for to douse my epidermis with hydration. I’ll be treating my mom with this mask so that she can experience this luxe product for herself. It’s packed with a ton of nourishing ingredients, and the lingering glow is completely unreal, so I know she’ll love it."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

My mom is a minimalist who loves polished jewelry with a pared-down appeal. That’s why, as soon as I saw Louis Vuitton’s Color Blossom Pendant, I knew this necklace deserved a prime spot in her accessories collection. Cut from mother-of-pearl and 18-karat pink gold, LV’s necklace features gorgeous floral and sun motifs that are oh-so summery. I envision my mom wearing this shimmering piece with classic warm-weather essentials like gauzy maxi dresses, crisp button-down shirts, and floaty linen pants. —Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

“My mom passed down her love of reading to me, so I'm returning the favor with the latest Emily Henry book everyone is reading right now. She's not on BookTok, but I have a feeling she'll be equally obsessed with this multi-timeline, Old Hollywood romance.“—Halie LeSavage, Senior Fashion & Beauty News Editor

In true motherly fashion, my mother doesn't buy herself anything nice, even now while she's enjoying her retirement years. Since she's spending more time at home, I'm sending her the comfiest pajamas that have ever graced my body: Eberjey's Gisele PJs. They're made from the softest, buttery smooth fabric that's both lightweight and breathable. For that extra special touch, I'm getting them embroidered.—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

“You don't have to be a mom to appreciate an insanely comfy sneaker, and my new obsession is this metallic gold accented pair from Sole Bliss. They feature an anatomically contoured footbed with supportive cushioning—but the fun gold zipper and swirl design makes them just as stylish as they are supportive. Bonus: Everyone from Queen Camilla to Oprah and Julia Roberts loves the brand.”—Kristin Contino, Senior Royal and Celebrity Editor

“My 57-year-old mother is officially in her solo travel era, embarking on endless sun-filled trips. But due to a melanoma scare from her travels last year, I’m determined to help her understand the importance of preserving her skin barrier. So for Mother’s Day, I’m giving her Pash’s Skin Rescue & Repair Lotion. It’s hydrating, cooling, and perfect for protecting skin from harsh sun rays.”—Ashlyn Delaney, Associate Social Media Editor

“I'm ridiculously picky with my sunglasses, so having an opportunity to make a bespoke pair that fits exactly the way I want them to with my ideal lens and frame color? Uhh, yes please! It almost makes me sad I got Lasik in 2019 so I could rock a spectacles pair in addition to sunnies—they're truly that gorgeous. But I'll settle for my dark frames and yellow lens, fitted perfectly for my features. And while I’m at it, I’ll grab a pair for my mom, too.”—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

“I could not be more obsessed with Bark Jacobs, a spring '25 initiative wherein you buy a Marc Jacobs bag and an in-house artist hand-paints a portrait of your pet on the front. Not to mention—stars align! My mom and I both live near the Regents Street location in London, so we can go together and emerge with what, in my humble opinion, will be the greatest Mother's Day gift of all time.”—Jenny Hollander, Digital Director

“My mom loves sourcing cool clothes, and I definitely inherited my penchant for fashion from her. My favorite thing to do is hunt for affordably priced designer pieces, which is how I came across this discounted Missoni robe. Stitched with a gorgeous pattern, I knew my mom would love it, so I bought it for her ahead of Mother’s Day. She’s obsessed, and every time she wears it, I'm reminded that it’s always possible to find a great gift without paying a pretty penny.”— Siena Gagliano, Beauty Editor

Lingua Franca’s got the cozy thing down—think ultra-soft sweaters and perfectly slouchy sweatshirts—but the real charm is in the custom embroidery. You can stitch on an inside joke, an endearing nickname, or whatever phrase mom deserves to wear on her sleeve (literally). It's the kind of gift that feels both personal and very chic. — Sara Holzman, Style Director

“Ask me to name fashion’s most beloved spring shoe trends, and I’ll start by waxing poetic about mesh flats. With a breathable construction and a barely-there feel, these slip-ons offer a breezy alternative to closed-toe shoes that feel overly constricting. I can’t wait to style Reformation’s floral-adorned Bethany flats alongside warm-weather staples like floaty white dresses, lightweight button-down shirts, and thigh-grazing Bermuda shorts.” —Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I have been obsessed with the East West bag trend and equally as smitten with Coach. So when the brand came out with a new version of my favorite design, the Empire, I had to treat myself for my birthday. The handles are the perfect length to get my arms through comfortably and they stay on my shoulders throughout the day. Its leather exterior showcases that luxe Coach quality and its neutral color will go with all my outfits this spring and summer. Coach, you've done it again." —Ariel Baxter, Beauty Writer

"These pants provide the structure of the barrel leg look with the oversized pockets and classic olive color of the cargo pants trend. I'm deeply obsessed with this silhouette and feel like it's a more elevated option to baggier styles. I'll be wearing mine all spring with gauzy button-down shirts, Mary Jane flats, and oodles of silver jewelry." —Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"Despite all of the new citrus perfumes on the market, I keep going back to this scent from the London-based brand Jouissance. It's easily the freshest perfume in my vast collection and the one that smells like the most fitting for the season. It's like the brand took the best scents of spring—juicy citrus, rain, and a touch of just-cut grass—and bottled it up. I can practically guarantee it's sure to stand out as a bright and uplifting scent in anyone's fragrance collection." —Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

“Navel-grazing jeans rank high on the list of spring 2025’s top denim trends. Aritzia offers a streamlined version of the style with a straight-leg silhouette and an ankle-length hem. Plus, they’re stitched with a soft and stretchy cotton-twill fabric, which makes them beyond comfortable. For that very reason, I’ve been wearing these bottoms nonstop and they’ve easily become one of my favorite pairs of pants.” —Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I love the look of a faux sunburn all year-round but especially at the cusp of spring when the light is finally hanging on past the end of the work day. This cream formula is perfectly buildable and melts into the skin so beautifully. It also stays put the way few other non-powder formulas do, which is nothing short of miraculous. The 'Persimmon' shade is to-die-for." —Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

“Color trends come and go, but it appears as though butter yellow is here to stay. I’ll be playing into the tasty shade with Everlane’s gorgeous midi dress which flaunts a flattering V-neck silhouette, a fitted waist, and intricate seam details. Aside from its endearing hue, I love the fact that this airy piece is cut from a lightweight textured fabric that will keep me nice and cool on sweltering days.” —Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I've been on the hunt for the perfect 'It' hoodie for spring—something not too heavy since the weather is warming up, yet cozy enough for those rainy days. The IDK NYC Academy Hoodie has exceeded my expectations and checked all the boxes. Not only is it from a small POC brand that I love to support, but the quality is truly exceptional. It's incredibly soft, perfectly oversized, and just downright cute—making it easy to pair with any outfit. I can confidently say this has become my new favorite piece." —Ashlyn Delaney, Associate Social Media Editor

"The Capri trend has come for me—but specifically ones that look like they might’ve been a part of the wardrobe in a French New Wave film. I love feminine, nostalgic styles, so I’m super into the more tight-fitting, high-waisted capris that could go with a tiny top. These For Love and Lemon ones are the exact Brigette Bardot vision I’m looking for and I could see them being a great transitional piece, paired with Mary Janes or loafers. " —Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

"Before the weather warms or the flowers bloom, spring presents itself in smells: cut grass and damp soil, earthy and aqueous. In early April, when I first start to feel that spring is in the air, I switch to fragrances that enhance the season’s naturally-uplifting smells. Vyrao’s The Sixth has become that fragrance for me this year. It’s herbal, fruity, and fresh—an immediate mood-booster and a perfect everyday perfume. " —Lucia Tonelli, Associate Director of Social Media

"Given that I live in New York City, my sandals need to have a few inches of a platform so I can remain comfortably distanced from the dirty streets—and this style ticks that box. I’m obsessed with their sporty look, especially considering how much athleisure is trending right now. Looks aside, they’re so comfortable I feel like I can walk miles in them (which I probably will once warm weather finally settles in for good)." —Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I have been in the pursuit of the perfect pair of vintage Levi's for years. I used to search through vintage racks for hours only to find ill-fitting pairs of jeans. Then I discovered Aligrace, which allows shoppers to send in their measurements for a custom pair of reworked Levi’s or shop their best-selling styles on Revolve. They’re definitely worth the investment—I wear the brand's Ultra Baggy pair probably five times per week. I love this particular loose style because it manages to have a flattering shape throughout the legs without appearing overly large (even though I ordered a size up so it hits right around the mid-to-low waist area)." — Siena Gagliano, Beauty Editor

For me, spring style is all about easy uniforms, and loafers are a big part of that vibe. These Jamie Haller suede loafers are exactly what I'm reaching for when I’m finally ready to ditch the sock-and-loafer combo but still want something that feels substantial. The suede gives them that laid-back, almost-summer feel that just works when the weather warms up. Honestly, there’s nothing better than slipping into a no-fuss, mold-to-your-foot shoe that matches the carefree energy of the season. —Sara Holzman, Style Director

"I know, I know—buying a mesh ballet flat for spring? Groundbreaking. The fashion set has written ad nauseam about the shoe trend for several seasons, yet I couldn't bring myself to splurge on the coveted Alaïa version. Thank goodness for this Staud pair I just added to my cart, which is half the cost but shares a neutral hue and subtle crystal detailing. I can't wait to pair them with T-shirts and barrel jeans—or floaty maxi skirts—once temperatures thaw."—Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"Whenever I'm going for a bronzed makeup look, I'll reach for Rhode's Pocket Blush in the shade "Toasted Teddy." Its warm terracotta hue makes me look as if I've spent hours soaking up the sun. Plus, the consistency of this product is extremely lightweight, so my skin never looks cakey."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I am firmly on the cargo pants train, and Tibi is always my go-to shopping destination for chic renditions of the trendy style. This lightweight pair finally arrived at my door and I am so eager to wear them with a slouchy V-neck sweater until the temperatures finally heat up. Then I'll swap the cold weather layers for a gauzy button-down shirt, lacy black bra, and kitten heels."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"This serum is currently saving my dry skin. I apply it in the morning after my hydrating liquid toner and it adds, as the name suggests, so much glow. I find that it looks great on my no-makeup days and boosts my glow when I wear makeup on top of it. After using this serum just three times in the last week, my skin has looked and felt much better."—Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce Editor

"I’ve been looking for ways to feel more ‘adult’ in my day-to-day life, and as someone who sleeps in her old college T-shirts, I thought I would start with my pajamas. I’m so glad I came across Soma’s Cool Nights line because it offers everything I could want in a PJ set and more. Each piece is cool to the touch, which is so important, considering I sleep very hot. Plus, the designs on these PJs are so cute that I don’t mind lounging around in them long after I wake up.”—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"With the prospect of warm weather around the corner, I recently bought a pair of bloomers from the Aussie brand My Mum Made It. I’m looking forward to styling them in transitional months with boots and outerwear (it's what I like to call a 'silly little outfit'). And on those days where it really feels like spring is here to stay, you bet I’ll be breaking these bloomers out alongside the label's matching baby doll blouse."—Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

"While the barn jacket trend has been around for months, I'm just now hopping on the bandwagon. Everlane's version is stitched with a durable cotton exterior that will keep me warm during breezy spring days. Beyond its functional appeal, this hard-working piece also exudes a classic English country style that's undeniably charming."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I'm dreaming about styling this trench coat for warm-weather days in New York. I did get to test-drive it on one 60-degree day, and it was the perfect light layer. While I don't wear traditional trench coats often, this one feels a touch cooler with a boxy silhouette and a checkered lining."—Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce

"Sunscreen is always a priority in my routine, but even more so now that the weather is finally starting to warm up and I’ll be soaking up more sun. I recently came across this Korean formula and I’ll be stocking up on it for the upcoming spring and summer months. It's incredibly lightweight, creamy, and hydrating, all without leaving a white cast.” —Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"Want a grownup gloss with stunningly beautiful color payoff? Reach for this new tinted lip serum from the cool-girl-on-a-budget brand Versed. The formula feels like a hydrating cushion on your lips (thanks to a vitamin E-rich formula) and the tint has a stain-like effect for long-lasting color. It's also a perfect dupe for the pricier Hourglass glossy balm."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"Am I manifesting warmer temps with this ultra-bright spring dress? Probably, but I can't wait to wear it during my upcoming spring break trip. I can't resist a puffed sleeve, and with a stretchy, smocked bodice and floaty skirt, this midi dress is comfy as well as cute."—Kristin Contino, Senior Royal and Celebrity Editor

"I technically got this in February, but it's quickly becoming my go-to blazer as we enter the transitional weather period. I normally wear oversized styles, so this has taken me by surprise. It has a figure-hugging silhouette, but it's not too tight. Plus, this piece leaves me feeling polished and put together. I'm also petite, and I find that it provides balance when I wear it with baggy jeans."—Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce Editor

"My face is so consistently puffy during the winter months that I sometimes forget what my actual bone structure looks like. I’ve never tried any professional sculpting services before, so when FaceGym invited me to try their new 'scalp-lift' treatment—an add-on to their "signature sculpt," in partnership with ISAMAYA and Olaplex—I immediately booked a spot. While I admittedly fell asleep (was lulled to sleep?) about 10 minutes in, I felt like a different person when I finally came to life. There were, of course, the visible changes—hello, cheekbones—but the most noticeable difference was in how I felt. The general stuffiness and brain fog-inducing pressure that had built up in my head was gone, and my scalp felt like it was actually breathing. It was the reset I never knew I needed, and a treatment I’ll be returning to when I’m feeling particularly groggy or clogged up."—Lucia Tonelli, Associate Director of Social Media

"I'm easing into my Pilates routine after a little hiatus over the winter. This comfy-cool FP Movement set had my back during my first classes—and made me feel like Hailey Bieber when I wore it out of the studio with my Celine sunglasses and Onitsuka sneakers."—Halie LeSavage, Senior Fashion & Beauty News Editor

"These have quickly become my wear-everywhere pair of sneakers. Whether I’m traveling or just going into the office, they make my everyday outfits feel cooler. I predicted that Vans would take over the fashion world last year, but I didn’t expect to fall in love with them, too. They’re also easy to clean and ridiculously comfortable. I’ve logged 12+ hour days in them so far and have felt no pain."—Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce Editor

"As classic as a bold red lip is for Valentine’s day, there’s something so romantic about a dewy, berry-tinged pout. The tinted balm from Sulwhasoo glides on gorgeously, creating that 'my lips but better' look while making your lips actually feel better, too. The packaging doubles as a decorative object, which is the cherry on top for any design-motivated shoppers."—Lucia Tonelli, Associate Director of Social Media

"Maison Margiela's horse-hoof Tabi shoes are not everyone's cup of tea—but as a latent horse girl, they are very much mine. I already own a pair of split-toe satin ballet flats but recently bought these gorgeous cracked leather Tabi boots in gunmetal leather as a pre-Valentine's Day treat to myself. On my very first wear around the block, a stranger stopped me in the street to ooh-ed and ahh-ed over them—which, given the ego boost, effectively made them my new favorite shoe I own."—Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor

"Who doesn't love a dainty Galentine's gift? This year, I’m really trying to find my personal style and think outside the box when it comes to my accessory choices, and this Sierra x En Route necklace is the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It features amazing quality fabric that feels great around my neck, and the bows also add a feminine touch to any outfit."—Ashlyn Delaney, Associate Social Media Editor

"Since I didn't click fast enough to shop J.Crew's collab with Araks, I treated myself to an OG pair of the brand's silk boxers. They're the ideal piece for lounging around at home with a good book and a glass of wine—which is how I'll be spending a solo V-day this year."—Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor (Fashion & Beauty)

"I have a candle burning in my apartment the second the workday is finished, so my collection is quite robust at this point. This black plum, rose, and sandalwood scent is absolutely divine and I love the chic black ceramic jar. I lit it for a recent date night and it was an instant hit to set the vibe."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"I've been making a conscious effort to elevate my jewelry collection, and since I'm my own Valentine this year, I thought there was no better "treat-yourself" gift than diamonds. This dainty ring is the perfect addition to my daily stack—it adds extra sparkle without going overboard, so I don't have to put much effort into styling it. The fact that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg for natural diamonds and 14K gold makes it all the better."—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I generally have dry skin, but my lips get especially chapped in the winter—and the only product that works for me is Vaseline’s Lip Therapy. I have been running through mine and seriously can’t stop stocking up. I find that the original version is the most moisturizing, but sometimes the tinted Rosy Lips rendition is nice when you want to give your lips a little color but also keep them hydrated. It should come in handy, in case Cupid presents me with someone to kiss this Valentine’s!"—Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

"Delectable shades of cherry red are poised to take over this season, and given that Valentine’s Day is around the corner, it's the perfect time to take this fiery hue for a spin. I’ll be doing so with Black Suede Studio's pointy leather pumps. which I plan to style alongside a little black dress and a glossy handbag."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"When Princess Kate endorses a brand...well, enough said. I've treated myself to numerous pieces from Welsh-based small business Spells of Love over the years, but these blue topaz and pearl drop earrings are my newest favorite. I plan to wear them on repeat with my blue floral dresses this summer, but they'll be just as special with a cozy cashmere sweater on Valentine's Day."—Kristin Contino, Senior Royal and Celebrity Editor

"Vanilla perfumes are everywhere, so it takes something unique to impress me nowadays. Henry Rose's recently launched Dave has won me over with its sweet floral blend. Sure, it has all of the decadence you would expect a perfume with vanilla bean Chantilly, cocoa shell, and tonka bean to have, but tangerine and pink pepper give it a cool twist. I’ve been wearing it nonstop since receiving it in January, it’s that good."—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I am obsessed with this moisturizer (and I think it is a great Valentine's Day gift for your love). It’s super light but spreads really well—two pumps are all I need for my whole face (and neck). I love that it doesn’t really have a scent, and it’s so gentle on my skin. It absorbs quickly, making it perfect for busy mornings when you need to move straight to sunscreen and makeup. I like the immediate rehydration it provides. Occasionally, I’ll even dab a bit around my eye area during the day for an instant revitalizing boost."—Haobin Ye, Former Interim Art Director

"Did you know it’s good luck to wear red in the new year? Well, it is! But regardless, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect red Mary Janes and I finally found them in this pair from Coach. The classic shape, block heel, and patent leather make them a great balance of contemporary and vintage. I may or may not have worn them on New Year’s Day to usher in some good energy for 2025, but I’m looking forward to wearing them all winter long with colored tights and into spring with knee-high socks."—Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

"Whenever I’m not in the mood to deal with my hair, I often whip my curls into an easygoing slicked-back style that doesn’t require a ton of effort. With smooth and sturdy boar bristles, La Bonne Brosse’s N.01 Shine & Care Brush helps me to do just that. Plus, this tool is crafted with keratin-rich fibers, so it leaves my strands looking extra shiny."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I still haven't quite recovered from the news that Saks Potts, my favorite label at Copenhagen Fashion Week, is shutting down this spring after a decade in business. So I decided to start the year like any fashion collector would: re-buying my favorite piece, the easygoing Serena Polo, in another color. It's made from cloud-soft cotton and has the oversized, collegiate fit of a borrowed-from-my-boyfriend rugby shirt. Most importantly, it's a collector's item—the gray one I purchased has already sold out. It's the sort of basic with a dash of personality I'm going to cherish forever."—Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor (Fashion & Beauty)

"As an avid music enthusiast, I consider my trusty headphones to be somewhat of a fashion accessory. I wear them constantly, and when they’re not covering my ears, they’re attached to my tote like a trendy bag charm. My favorite pair is the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Noise-Canceling Headphones. The premium audio quality is exceptional—I’ve never experienced music so clear and immersive in my life. While this high-tech device is quite the investment, it's worth every single penny."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"Temperatures are dropping in New York, which means that my hands and cuticles are bound to get dry. So, I’ve repurchased my favorite remedy, L'occitane’s Shea Butter Hand Cream. This revitalizing formula is thick, but not at all greasy. For that very reason, I always carry the big 5oz tube in my handbag."—Jonelle Afurong, Junior Visual Designer

"This cream jacket is the definition of style meets substance. It’s unbelievably soft, surprisingly warm, and boasts a slouchy silhouette and cropped fit. I don't mind when it’s covering up my look because actually, it is the look."—Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"Although I have a serious shoe problem, I'm also at the age where I'm not willing to sacrifice comfort for a new pair. That's why these absolutely delicious Jamie Haller chukkas caught my eye. They're so buttery soft I basically feel like I'm wearing slippers around the city, and the deep espresso shade is the loveliest alternative to classic black. I'm 100 percent living in them until summer."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"On a mission to enter the new year with glistening skin, I snagged a jar of Glow Recipe’s Cloudberry Bright Moisture Cream. Its antioxidant-rich formula has helped to give my face an extra boost of hydration while managing to even out my skin tone."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"My Smythson Soho planner is my desert island item: the accessory I'm lost without. With each new year comes a new Soho, and for 2025 I picked up a poppy turquoise version (complete with my gold-embossed initials, which always makes me feel fancy). Yes, it's an investment, but it makes your to-do lists feel satisfyingly achievable. And there's something about the way pens scratch the Featherweight paper...It's basically ASMR."—Jenny Hollander, Digital Director

"I tend to wear delicate gold chains and more classic jewelry, but as soon as I saw this beaded gemstone necklace from Missoma's Harris Reed collab, I had to have it. The unique design reminds me of a Claddagh necklace, and I can see this working with so many spring and summer outfits since I tend to wear a ton of blue and green shades."—Kristin Contino, Senior Royal and Celebrity Editor

"Sezane has mastered the art of sweaters—they even have an entire "sweater bar" in their New York and Paris boutiques, offering every style and color imaginable. Made from a luxurious wool blend, this sweater offers the softness of cashmere at a more accessible price point, making it perfect for anyone who loves the feel of high-quality knitwear. Sézane is also like introducing someone to a little slice of Parisian style, especially for those who may not have heard of or visited Sézane’s boutiques. You simply can’t go wrong."—Sara Holzman, Style Director

"I know I'm not the only one who picks at her fingers and cuticles, so I'm always trying to perfect my at-home maintenance routine to keep my nails looking polished between manicure appointments. This chic kit makes maintaining your nails (buffing, filing, shaping, and moisturizing) feel downright luxurious. The leather carrying case is perfect for travel or storing in your vanity, and the glass half-moon nail file will replace every cheap emory board you have stashed away. Plus, it gives your natural nails a stunning high-shine finish—no lacquer required."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"Within 10 minutes of getting fed an ad for these Bombas slippers on Instagram, my order was placed. This matters because I rarely shop online and only ever buy something with such swiftness if I feel deeply drawn to it. (Plus, I’ve never heard a bad thing about Bombas, so the risk was low.) I’m never without slippers in my home, but even my nicest pairs end up with creasing and stains from the inevitable crouching, cooking, etc. This sherpa pair has all the makings of a slipper that can withstand what my others haven’t. It’s sturdy and has a memory foam sole, with a rubber outsole should you want to wear them outdoors. They fit great (though I’d recommend sizing up if you’re a half size) and look so good."—Lucia Tonelli, Associate Director of Social Media

"I recently discovered Gaâla, a family-run slow fashion brand, and I’m absolutely head over heels for their leather trench coat. Since it's the holiday season, I decided to treat myself to this polished piece. Stitched with upcycled faux leather, this trench boasts a sleek, high-shine finish that’s hard to resist. Available in both burgundy and black, I chose the latter colorway for its timeless, neutral appeal. I can’t wait to wear it on repeat this season, pairing it with soft sweaters, sturdy wide-leg jeans, and a variety of other cold-weather essentials."—Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"If you're tired of fake lashes or getting lash extensions (I tried it once and never again!), this is your solution in a bottle. Apply it every night and your lashes will be so long that people will be convinced they're faux. BabeLash also doesn't irritate my eyes, which was a problem I had when trying a different product. You do have to be religious about applying the serum, but the results are worth it. I'm bringing this one to my friends' "Favorite Things" holiday party."—Kristin Contino, Senior Royal and Celebrity Editor

"I’m on the hunt for a durable and stylish tote bag that’s perfect for carrying my laptop and notebook throughout the week. I’m always drawn to mid-century-inspired accessories, which is why this bag from Pacific Tote Company is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Crafted from premium heavy-duty canvas, it's not only ideal for work and travel, but I can also see myself using it for beach days, picnics, and beyond!"—Montse Tanús, Art Director

"I've been searching for the perfect short puffer jacket for a while now. I wanted something that works for those in-between months that are chilly, but not cold enough for a hefty layer. This jacket checks all the boxes! It's crafted with detachable sleeves and can be worn as a vest (which makes it ideal for unpredictable NYC temperatures). Not to mention, it's stitched with recycled materials (Damson Madder intentionally prioritizes sustainability, so I love supporting the brand)."—Jonelle Afurong, Junior Visual Designer

"If you think about it, flossing is overdue for an upgrade. Now, I'd never personally thought about this—but then I saw founder Samantha Coxe on Shark Tank, and I realized she was right: Flossing should be easier! This is 2024, people! Enter Flaus, which I ordered within minutes of seeing Coxe introduce it. It's an eco-friendly electric flosser that looks cute on your bathroom shelf and, much like an electric toothbrush, does the hard work of flossing for you. It also has the significant side effect of making you feel smug at the dentist. Why didn't someone invent this sooner?"—Jenny Hollander, Digital Director

"I’m so obsessed with these slippers. I recently packed them for a trip to my parents house because I couldn’t bear the thought of being without them for a week. They are simply so cozy and warm, and the sturdy bottoms are great for those moments when I need to run a quick errand outside the house. I made the mistake of letting my mom try them on and now she can't get enough of them. So, I'm planning to buy her a pair for Christmas."—Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"There is something so luxe about a set of fluffy white towels. I'm a sucker for this new brand, which allows your to personalize your choice of weave and weight for the towels. Bespoke, fluffy, and beautifully minimalist? I'll need a set for myself and all my love ones who also enjoy an at-home spa day."—Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"It doesn't matter what my giftee's style aesthetic is, I know that a pair of simple gold hoop earrings will fit in their jewelry box perfectly. These earrings work for any occasion and any outfit, which is why I'll be buying them for my Secret Santa gift exchange. Plus, Gorjana's one of my go-to affordable jewelry brands for high-quality pieces for under $100, so this gift is essentially foolproof." — Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I swear I didn't order this just because everyone these days is dressing like the proprietor of stables in the English countryside. Barn jackets were definitely one of my 'things' before they became a Prada-approved trend, and after many years of loving wear-and-tear, a khaki green version I'd ordered from J.Crew Factory in college finally wore out this year. I thought the time was right for an upgrade with this longer, checked version. I like that it injects some pattern into my day-to-day wardrobe, while still feeling neutral enough to wear with all sorts of outfits. And trust that I will be wearing this when everyone else's horse girl phase ends."—Halie LeSavage, senior news editor (fashion & beauty)

"Now that fall has officially arrived, I’ll be living in boots 24/7. The newest addition to my boot collection? Sam Edelman’s Margo booties—a pair of black kitten-heeled boots that I plan to shamelessly wear on repeat. These elevated shoes have a sleek silhouette and a slim squared-off toe that will pair well with a range of fall outfits. Although I chose the practical black colorway, the label also offers a few other trendy alternatives that I’m tempted to go back for.”—Brooke Knappenberger, associate commerce editor

"I am a Glossier devotee. During my latest haul—when I stocked up on all my go-to products including the brand’s Pro-Tip Eyeliner—I decided to try a new hue of Glossier’s Ultralip lipstick. While I often opt for a dark color, I chose a watermelon red shade called, 'Fête.' It's more natural and far less stark than some red lipsticks can be. Also, it makes for a warm hue to wear into fall. This lipstick goes on easily, and it has a nice sheen to it, which I enhance by wearing it with Glossier's Balm Dot Com in 'Fig.' As temperatures get cooler, I'm looking forward to this shade pairing nicely with my inevitably rosy cheeks."—Sadie Bell, senior culture editor

"I was looking at my, admittedly robust, sweater collection the other day and realized that while I have all manner of wildly-printed crewnecks and cardigans on lock, I didn’t have many of those wear-with-anything staple pieces. Enter: this perfect cropped cashmere sweater in a classic heathered gray. It has a slim fit to contrast with my preferred baggy, wide-leg trousers or jeans and truly looks so much more expensive than it is. Plus, I’m super sensitive to any itchy knitwear, and the texture is so deliciously soft that I could happily wear this from day to night."—Hannah Baxter, beauty director

"Barrel jeans might just be my new go-to pants for fall. Initially, I was worried about how this billowing silhouette would fit me (especially because I always struggle with jeans that have long inseams). That said, Abercrombie offers a wide range of lengths, so I had a feeling that I’d be able to find the perfect pair within the brand’s collection. And I did! To my surprise, I didn’t even have to opt for a shorter inseam length. However, I did choose to size up in the waist so that I could have a bit more room in the midsection area.”—Jonelle Afurong, junior visual designer

"The other day, I asked Marie Claire's beauty editor, Samantha Holender, what the deal was with tubing mascara and why I was seeing ads for it splashed across my Instagram feed. 'It's the new thing,' explained my dear coworker, who I use as a human Google for any and all makeup-related queries. 'It uses lengthening fibers to extend, fan out, and lift the lash.' Sold at 'lengthening fibers,' I picked up Hourglass's Instant Extensions mascara at Sephora and instantly understood the hype after applying only three coats of the product. My lashes almost doubled in size and curled up dramatically, nearly reaching the top of my eyelid. I'm officially hooked now."—Emma Childs, fashion features editor

"I was struggling to find the perfect outfit for a trip to cover Prince Harry's Climate Week events in NYC, but once again, Bloomie's came to the rescue. This Karl Lagerfeld Paris dress feels very Chanel-slash-fancy-librarian. It's conservative enough for a serious business conference but fun enough for dinner with friends. What instantly jumped out at me was the pearl-and-crystal trimmed collar— it's definitely giving Princess Kate."—Kristin Contino, senior royal and celebrity editor

"It's sweater weather season, which means my wardrobe is filled to the brim with loads of cozy pullovers. I've just updated my collection with Aritzia's Glory sweater, a chunky cable knit crewneck drenched in a delectable shade of chocolate brown. Aside from its color, I also love how comfortable this piece is. It's woven with an insulated blend of merino wool yarn, which has kept me nice and warm during brisk temperature dips. Plus, it’s such a versatile top, so the styling options are endless. I’ve been pairing this snug sweater with roomy wide-leg jeans, sharp tailored trousers, and slinky slip skirts."—Lauren Tappan, fashion editor

"This powder may as well be made from fairy dust because it's pure magic (okay, it's actually made of skincare superstars like hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide, but you get the point). Sweep the product over your skin and watch as pores minimize before your eyes. I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself after stumbling across a YSL pop-up, and I immediately needed it afterward. Since it's translucent, you can easily reapply this product throughout your day. Plus, the compact is so beautiful that you won't mind it peeking out of your bag."—Neha Prakash, entertainment director

"When the weather really starts to cool down, and the dread of winter starts to bubble up, I find solace in the form of 100 percent cashmere socks. While cashmere blends are more durable and wearable outside of the house, pure cashmere is in a league of its own—even if (or especially because?) I can only wear these socks at home. Whenever I slip into a fresh pair of sleep socks, I become the main character of my own cozy night in. My tea kettle is whistling, my face mask is perfectly applied, my PJs are matching, and my candles are lit. They're an essential in head-to-toe relaxation."—Lucia Tonelli, associate director of social media

Although there’s nothing I love more than crisp autumn air, I don’t exactly enjoy how my skin reacts to it. When temperatures begin to drop, I often deal with extreme dryness and discoloration, so my seasonal skincare routine involves a slew of hydrating products. Among them is this face gel from Dr. Jart+. It’s packed with nurturing ingredients like tiger grass (a tropical plant that is commonly used in herbal remedies). This gel is so soothing and it makes my skin appear plump and dewy after just one use. Plus, it boasts a smooth texture, so it’s easy to layer beneath makeup—whether I’m applying foundation, bronzer, or liquid blush. — Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"Dissh has a chokehold on my wallet. Every fashion editor I've come into contact with has raved about the brand's gorgeous tailoring and high quality materials, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on a few pieces. I'll be honest: I had sky-high hopes for the label's Harley Smoke blazer and it lived up to my expectations. This oversized piece provides a bulky silhouette, but still has a narrow fit that looks flattering on my five-foot-two frame. I'll likely wear it with jeans come winter, but as we peak into fall, I'll be going matchy-matchy with Dissh's Pleated Skort. I'd size up on this one, but the fit is incredibly flattering and the length is work appropriate (if you have a casual office)." — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

"As temperatures cool down, my skin usually gets pretty dry (especially under my eyes). Not only is dealing with dry skin under the eyes irritating, but it also causes unwanted creasing and patching whenever I apply concealer. My solution? Dieux Skin's Forever Eye Mask paired with the brand's Miracle Eye Gel. These products instantly help to revive and plump my skin, making my makeup application process much easier. Also, every time I put on this eye mask, I feel like i'm treating myself to an at-home spa experience." — Jonelle Afurong, Junior Visual Designer

"I try to hold onto summer as long as possible, and it's usually still hot in New York well into September, so I recently found myself contributing to my ever-growing collection of pointelle tank tops. They’re easy to throw on for an effortless look, and the slow fashion brand Pretties (who invented the Baby Tee!) has very sweet ones. I got their Knock-Off tank and I love the delicate details and high-quality cotton. I’m sure I'll still be layering this tank as the warm weather starts to fade away. " — Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

"While my wardrobe has transitioned into fall, I’m still clutching on to summer with my beauty routine—more specifically with my choice of fragrance. Lately, I’ve been favoring Skylar's Boardwalk Delight perfume, which smells like the yummiest, happiest memories of my childhood all wrapped into one. Think eating cotton candy at the county fair or sipping on a milkshake by the beach. I can’t help but to feel happy, warm, and comforted every time I wear it." — Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"The older I get, the more I embrace my style, which is really about being as comfortable as possible but still sexy. Relaxed sensuality, if you will. I prefer easy-to-style pieces that have simple silhouettes and muted colors. I've been on the hunt for a basic maxi skirt for ages, and I'm happy to say that this one from Naked Wardrobe checks all the boxes. I'm very particular about basics, since they are the workhorse of my wardrobe, but I have no complaints about this maxi. I love the fact that it's crafted with natural fibers and features a double-lined fabric. Plus, it's actually long enough to fit my 5'8'' frame. I can't wait to reach for it again and again this fall." — Brittany Holloway-Brown, Digital Art Director

"September silhoutes are all about the cinched waist and exaggerated hourglass shape, so this piece from Aureum is at the top of my shopping list. I love a less-is-more approach to accessories and the polished leather of this belt keeps it classic while the slightly chunky, jewelry-inspired gold buckle adds just a touch of drama to elevate any fall 'fit. " — Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"If you don’t know, now you know—this Honey Girl Organics Night Creme is the cure for dry skin. When the weather begins to transition, my skin gets dehydrated (which ultimately causes large pores and a textured appearance). After cleansing my face, I look forward to applying this product as it works to moisturize and repair. I don't mind splurging on this cream because it's filled with organic ingredients and it has a smooth consistency (it literally feels like butter melting into my skin). So, if you’re searching for a product that heals dry skin, look no further." — Ashlyn Delaney, Associate Social Editor

"My fashion MO for September is to extend summer's easy, laidback, not-a-care-in-the-world way of dressing for as long as I can. I've only worn it once so far, but I already know that CLYQUE's Kyla Tank will play a big role in expending as little fashion energy as possible throughout early fall. It's made from a modal-spandex blend, making it breathable and stretchy. But my favorite aspect is the cut—the high neckline offers a more polished, dressed-up effect than your standard tank top, and the arm holes are high enough that I can wear the top into the office without worrying my bra might peek through." — Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor

"With Fashion Month on the horizon, I’m preparing my wardrobe accordingly. I’ve got most of my outfits planned, but what’s missing is a bag that will keep up with my busy schedule. While heading from one show to the next, I’ll need a trusty tote that's large enough for all my on-the-go belongings (including my laptop, my must-have cosmetics, and an extra pair of ballet flats). With that in mind, I decided to add Cuyana’s Classic Easy Leather Tote to my shopping cart. This best-seller features a width of 15 inches, sturdy shoulder straps, and an interior wall pocket for extra storage. Plus, its sumptuous leather exterior is hard to resist." — Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"Fall and loafers go hand in hand, and I love the ruched detailing on this new style from J.Crew. I'll wear them with a great pair of trousers and a blazer on repeat, but they look equally chic alongside a midi-skirt or dress and a pair of really fine rib-knit socks." — Sara Holzman, Fashion Director

"There's a running joke on TikTok that Europe won't let tourists in without this viral Uniqlo bag. In all seriousness, I couldn't imagine transversing multiple European countries without it. I got the black bag for my two-week vacation and didn't part with it once. It's incredibly lightweight and can fit so much despite its deceptively small size. I carried my passport, water bottle, sunglasses, wallet, and lip gloss every day without any problems." — Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I try not to wear a lot of makeup while on vacation, but when I do, a super effective makeup remover is a must. Of all the removers I’ve tried, Hero Cosmetics’ daily cleansing balm is the clear winner. First, it’s a balm, not a liquid, meaning you can clear TSA with it regardless of size. Then there’s the consistency, which is similar to other balms I’ve tried—oily, thick—but leaves virtually no traces of oil or grease behind. I hate feeling like I need to triple cleanse just to remove my makeup remover, and I’ve never had to with this balm. The best part, however, is how well it works. A quarter-sized dollop breaks down even the fullest face of makeup; once you proceed with face wash, your skin will feel like you were bare-faced all day. For those long summer days, this remover undoes all of the buildup—makeup, sweat, and salt included." — Lucia Tonelli, Associate Director of Social Media

"I've found it: The perfect airport joggers. These delightfully soft sweatpants are one of my favorite purchases of the year: they're warm but not heavy, comfy but not tight, and are riddled with pockets to carry your phone, wallet, keys, and anything else. I've been in the market for an exceptional pair of sweats for a while, and these tick all my boxes. They're also a cute take on the cargo pants trend (and somehow, I forgot between the '00s and now how great cargo pants are?)" — Jenny Hollander, Digital Director

"I know I sound dramatic, but there is nothing I cherish more than my Joanna Czech travel kit. I'm an overpacker by nature (especially when it comes to my beauty essentials), but this pre-packaged and ready-to-go set makes me—dare I say—low maintenance. It has everything I could possibly need for in-flight skincare, and the products last me through a whole trip. My skin is consistently glowing, hydrating, and clear when I use this regimen. My favorite product out of the bunch? The Toner, which Joanna herself convinced me to start using a few months back. It's balanced out my skin so much."— Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

"I already have an extensive collection of black day dresses, but I couldn't help adding this one to the roster for an upcoming vacation. It's one of those rare comfy pieces that actually looks elegant, thanks to the off-the-shoulder neckline and the flow of the skirt. (Another pro: It has pockets!) I'm packing it with a pair of lace-up Emme Parsons sandals and my best cat-eye sunglasses, for a 'Sofia Richie on the French Riviera'-vibe." — Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor (Fashion & Beauty)

 "I recently ordered this oversized cropped button-down from the small Mexico City-based woman-owned brand Chava Studio. Their shirts are made-to-measure, so you know they’ll fit impeccably. This one is airy for hot, humid NYC days, Europe, or wherever you are. It also packs like a dream and will transition into fall well when styled with blazers and layered underneath crew or v-neck sweaters." — Sara Holzman, Style Director

"I'm not really a skincare, serum, or facial girly, but I'm definitely a wellness girly. So anything that makes you glow from the inside out while helping you relax is right up my alley. Enter this red light therapy mask that promises to smooth fine lines, stimulate collagen, and even skin tone in just 10 minutes. I'll be using this mask before my next trip to make sure that my skin looks brighter and smoother." — Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"Some style editors want to be buried in needle stilettos and slingback heels. I, however, do not belong to that particular breed of fashion people; I'll always go for the sensible, comfortable pair of flats that never give me blisters—specifically, my new ballet sneakers from the Sandy Liang x Salomon collaboration. I bought these babies in white for my end-of-summer trip to Paris because I plan to spend 90 percent of my time in the city strolling around and hunting for the best baguettes and designer vintage. Because the RX MJs have mesh uppers and squishy, sneaker-like soles, the shoes feel (and look like) a coquette cloud." — Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor

"I'm a big fan of the overnight flight, which means I've accumulated an impressive collection of products designed to make my travels as restful as possible. Neck pillows, however, took a while to grow on me. They're bulky, and many either run too firm or too soft to truly feel comfortable. That said, this option from Slip is unlike the others. It's made from 100 percent silk, so it prevents my hair from getting frizzy or my skin from drying out during a long flight. It feels just like the silk pillowcase I have at home too, helping me fall asleep faster than I ever thought I could while en route." — Gabrielle Ulubay, Beauty Writer

"Calpak's Terra backpack is my Mary Poppins bag—it fits everything I could possibly need on a trip. I spent weeks looking for an upgrade to my current travel bag (I needed a spacious option that could keep my belongings organized and I wanted it to be colorful, not boring). I discovered that this backpack checked all of those boxes. I was able to fit my travel must-haves for an entire 5-day trip in this bag. Not to mention, it can be opened like a suitcase, so I can use up every bit of space." — Jonelle Afurong, Junior Visual Designer

"If you haven’t heard, it’s a ‘brat’ summer, baby! Charli XCX’s incredible new record, the party girl energy of the project, and the aggressive lime green tint on the rave-flyer-inspired album art is everywhere, and her merch is just as great. The British avant garde star didn’t release her ‘brat’ merch until several weeks after the album dropped, aside from the few pieces sold exclusively at her select concerts surrounding the release date. I instantly regretted not picking up one of the tour T-shirts, so the second she dropped the official merch line, I had to secure one of the baby tees. It’s cute, simple, and even comfortable enough to travel in." — Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

"My travel days are often chaotic, which means that I don't have time to worry about my on-the-go look. So, I've learned to rely on streamlined pieces that make dressing a breeze. My go-to travel outfit as of late? Aritzia's Wilfred Free Divinity Romper styled alongside a cozy hoodie, a pair of mid-calf socks, and cushioned sneakers. This romper features a slip-on design that's super easy to hop into. Plus, it's cut from a nylon blend that's ultra stretchy—so whether I'm racing to my gate or stretching on an aircraft during a long-haul flight, I can move around with ease."— Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"This felt like the perfect mashup between fisherman sandals (which are all the rage this summer) and Birkenstock slides (which have been dominating footwear trends for the past few years). I got these shoes for a recent trip to Europe and they proved light and comfortable to walk in. I love that they are a bit more narrow on the foot and overall less clunky, so they feel chicer than other similar styles."— Neha Prakash, Entertainment Director

"My makeup routine isn't complete without Victoria Beckham's Vast Lash Mascara. This product is totally smudge-proof, so no matter how humid it is outside, I never experience any unwanted streaks around my eyes. I love how it provides an instant boost of volume with just one swipe, making my lashes appear noticeably fuller. It's also formulated with gentle vegan ingredients, which is ideal for those with sensitive skin. If you're looking for a new mascara, do yourself a favor and invest in this one. You'll thank me later."— Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I wrote an article for another magazine six or seven years ago saying Abercombie was 'back.' Reader, I spoke too soon. The brand has really hit its stride in the last two years—especially in terms of sizing. I got on board with this strapless, drop-waist dress that I ordered for a wedding. The proportions are excellent, the bodice is nicely structured, the red is a perfect cherry shade, and crucially, there are pockets. I plan to keep wearing it throughout the summer with espadrilles and a little straw bag."— Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor (Fashion & Beauty)

"With coconut perfumes, there’s a fine line between a summery fragrance versus a suncreen-y scent. But with By Rosie Jane’s new perfume, there’s no mistaking it for anything other than a fun, yet sophisticated fragrance. While it does remind me of summer days spent laying in the sun, notes of white floral and musk give this scent some depth. It’s fresh, slightly sweet, energetic, and not too overpowering— everything I want my summer perfume to be."— Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I've been in the market for a new laptop bag for some time now, but I haven't seen anything that can also be worn as a purse when I'm not carrying around my computer. This summery canvas bag is upgraded with leather trim and has a really sleek bucket silhouette, so it doesn't feel like your typical laptop tote."— Sara Holzman, Style Director

"I enjoy a dewy beauty look. I want my skin to look fresh and hydrated as if all I do is drink water all day. But summer sweat complicates matters. Every time I leave my apartment, my face spouts moisture like a water fountain working overtime—which is not my desired dewy look. So, I recently invested in Fenty's Invisimatte and could not be happier. The formula mattifies my skin as promised without leaving me looking cakey or overpowered. In what should come as no surprise whatsoever: Rihanna, you've done it again."— Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor

"I'm a forever fan of Rothy's The Driver, but my white pair got paint-splattered during a particularly creative engagement party (do not ask), and I'm now the proud owner of a herringbone pair. These have quickly become the shoes I'll live in this summer—I like that the pattern is more exciting than a neutral, but still low-key enough that I can wear them with most outfits. And as with my other Rothy's favorites (The Point II are my flat go-tos), these shoes start out comfortable and only get more so as you wear them in."— Jenny Hollander, Digital Director

"It's no secret that I'm a big Charlotte Tilbury fan. While I truly love majority of her products, her newest launch is my all-time favorite, number one pick. To say I'm in love with it would be an understatement. The foundation stick is similar to Flawless Filter, but has a softer, less oily finish. I draw the product all over my face and massage it in with my fingers. It blurs over pores and gives my skin ideal brightness—it basically makes me look like I'm constantly standing in front of a ring light. Plus, it lasts all day—no fading, no budging, no oxidizing. I haven't put it down since I got my hands on it."— Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

"No summer wardrobe is complete without a plain white T-shirt. It’s a versatile staple that can be cycled through a range of warm-weather outfits. My favorite as of late? Khy’s Baby Tee, crafted from a super soft cotton blend that's breathable and cozy. For casual outings, I'll pair this top with linen shorts and chunky sandals, and for a more upscale event, I'll style it with a slinky slip skirt and kitten heels."— Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"I never would have believed that such sleek, thin hairpins would manage to keep my hair up all day long, but these gold French chignon pins aways do the trick. They're versatile enough to create buns, ponytails, and half-up-half-down looks without the damage or headache-inducing hair pulling of scrunchies. Plus, they match beautifully with my gold jewelry."— Gabrielle Ulubay, Beauty Writer

"Button-up shirts are a part of my wardrobe year-round, but I especially love them as a light layer during the summer. I have this shirt in many colors, but it is the red one that lands me the most compliments."— Nikki Ogunnaike, Editor in Chief

"I travel constantly in the summer, fleeing the city every Thursday to Monday. I recently got this Vee Collective weekend bag and it's truly the best investment. It holds everything I could possible need for a getaway, feels comfortable on my shoulder, and has a washable fabric so I don't have to worry about getting it dirty. I'm partial to the matte black color, but there are four hues to choose from."— Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

"I struggle with red lipstick as it's just a little too high maintenance for me; it's hard to keep it from smudging and fading. But this balm in Red Coral gives the perfect pop of just-bitten color."— Andrea Stanley, Executive Editor

"I’m always a sucker for garments that play with lightweight lingerie elements, especially in the summer when I can’t be bothered with the heat. This silk, sheer dress from the sustainable brand Bella Venice, which makes all of their clothes out of vintage deadstock fabric, is my new favorite LBD. I love how it’s both sweet and sexy, with its cut and see-through fabric. After wearing it out dancing to a (very hot!) basement club, I can attest that it keeps you cool, too."— Sadie Bell, Senior Culture Editor

“I tested these shorts for a story with the team, and liked them so much that I ordered two more pairs. They’re cut a little looser than a typical running short, so they don’t bunch up or chafe on long distance runs. (This is mission critical for me while I train for my first marathon over the summer.) The easy access, zipper-pocket waistband is also a major plus, as is the fun range of colors. If you’re between sizes, go a size down.”— Halie LeSavage, Senior News Editor (Fashion & Beauty)
