What We're Loving Right Now

When Cindy Crawford puts her name on something, we’re jumping on the bandwagon. Which is why we’ve all been twinning in the office in her curated shop RE/DONE denim collection. They fit great, they’re flattering and have the supermodel stamp of approval. (Totally worth the price tag, right?)

Alex Apatoff, Deputy Style Director: Two of my favorite places in the world to shop: Paris and Elizabeth Street in N.Y.C. So when the quintessentially French brand Sézane launched a gorgeous shop downtown, my heart sang and my wallet wept. Luckily the brand’s incredibly stylish, lovely and versatile pieces aren’t bank-breaking for the quality – I’d expect to pay a lot more for this luxe mixed-media bucket bag that I’ve been wearing all fall (and getting compliments on all the while).

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: A Fashion Faceoff between Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Emma Watson, Doutzen Krous and Elizabeth Olsen isn’t all that surprising. But a Fashion Faceoff between all of them and Kofi Annan is. Well, it’s surprising until you find out the reason they’ve all worn the ring. Half of proceeds from the delicate piece of jewelry go to seed grants for female entreprenuers and female-focused startups. In their words, it’s a “pinky promise” to help the advancement of women around the world. Now, that is a Faceoff worth getting in on.

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor:As a longtime fan of both MOTHER Denim and Minnetonka, I couldn’t be more excited about the brands’ collaboration on a collection of four limited-edition moccasin styles, which all have a bohemian-yet-edgy vibe to them. These ’70s-inspired moccasins are the perfect comfy fall shoe — I plan on throwing them on with a pair of jeans and soft sweater every weekend!

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: One of the best side effects of pregnancy was how amazing my hair looked: thick, shiny and just glorious overall. Fast forward a year and that Disney princess-worthy mane is now a lifeless pile of strands accented by broken bits around my hairline. I’ve been trying out different treatments to restore some luster, and I’m loving this serum/oil hybrid (there are three scents, but I’m partial to Willow). I apply it to dry hair (from roots to ends) and let it soak in for at least 20 minutes before shampooing. My hair felt significantly softer after the first use and I’m hoping that over time it makes it stronger and eventually, longer.

Alex Apatoff, Deputy Style Director: I just had a baby and experienced the panic of trying on my formal clothes and realizing nothing fit … 24 hours before I needed something to fit. Thank God for the Rent the Runway people, who just launched same-day delivery in N.Y.C. I managed to squeeze into this super cute and flattering Christian Siriano dress, avoiding tears and ensuring I looked appropriate for the event.

Mark Marino, Contributing Writer: Dima Arabo has styled the heads of models, actors, TV personalities — and yours truly. I’ve been going to his salon for years, and during that time, he created Dima Arabo Molding Putty, an all-organic pomade he initially used on clients and has now made available to the masses. My hair has a mind of its own, and all I need is a tiny amount of product to style it and keep it under control. The pomade goes on light, washes out easily and works on all hair types. I swear by the stuff!

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: It sounds funny to say it, but when it comes to finding the perfect iPhone case, it takes me months and months to settle on the right style. But once I laid eyes on Casemate’s sparklers, I knew I needed to stock up — ASAP. Right now, I am loving this iridescent pearl gem and bronze glitter covered case for its aesthetic, but also because it allows my phone to survive heart-wrenching drops on the pavement.

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: Lately I’ve been on a laceups-and-dresses kick. Actually, let me rephrase: Lately I’ve been on a kick of commuting in laceups and a dress, arriving at work with every intention of changing into heels then never actually getting around to it. And you know what, I’m fine with that. Especially with sneakers like these, which pair surprisingly well with nearly every skirt and dress I won. (They even make slightly dressier skirts work-appropriate thanks the the sneakers dress-down abilities.) I also like that these pass for designer and look like they cost about five times what they really do. Sorry, desk-drawer heels, see you maybe next season.

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: The words “chic” and “backpack” don’t typically get used together. (Though I’m sure if you asked middle school me if I thought my double-zip teal L.L. Bean pack was chic, I would have said yes.) This new one from Timbuk2, part of their fashion-y and feminine collection, actually is chic, though. It’s got comfy straps, a protective compartment for your laptop, plus tons of organizational pockets. Oh, and the finish and details will make you feel like the opposite of an awkward 7th grader.

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: Taylor Hill has teamed up with Joe’s to create a capsule collection featuring five denim essentials and needless to say, I found them “essential” to my wardrobe — especially these pearl-embellished denim shorts. I love the high-rise style and the pearls feel so of-the-moment. Plus, now I can give my old ripped up cutoffs a much needed break.

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter: Summer just started and I’ve already fallen into the trap of re-wearing the same outfits again and again. So in an effort to make sure I expand my style, I did a little shopping at ViciCollection.com. Everything is very on-trend and very reasonably-priced, so with all the chic new pieces in my closet (like this one-shoulder top), there’s no excuse to reach for that same old plain white tee anymore.

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: I can’t scroll through Insta or listen to a podcast without seeing/hearing about this bra. And after reading the reviews (they’re pretty gushing) I decided to give it a whirl (they have quite the try-before-you-buy policy). The verdict: as good as everyone says. The cups are cushy like a memory foam pillow, the straps stay put and the cut adds a bit of lift without feeling like you in a torture device/corset. But unlike other “comfort bras,” these are bras you’d actually want to show off.

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: Rebecca Minkoff teamed up with Movado to create classic watches with a trendy spin. Each piece reflects her brand aesthetic, from the signature guitar-strap bag stitching to the stud details. I love that the straps are interchangeable, allowing you to have fun and customize your watch— I couldn’t choose between the soft, monochromatic look of the embroidery or the edginess of the studs, so I’m buying both!

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: My favorite nail salon (it’s also a favorite of a lot of celebrities) just launched a leather sandal that you’ll actually want to wear post-pedi. As in, a trillion gazillion times better and chicer than those rubber flip-flops. Actually, you’ll want to wear these not just post-pedi, but all summer. They can be tied a bunch of different ways and you can even mix and match different colored laces. (And good news for girls like me who refuse to wear uncomfy shoes no matter how cute they are: These ones are nice and cushy thanks to memory foam padding.)

Brittany Talarico, Senior Style Editor: Thanks to this new capsule collection from Schutz, I just found my new go-to beach shoe. Inspired by New York, these slides feature cheeky sayings like “Chill Out,” “City Girl,” and “Summer Nights.” They look just as cute with a bikini as they do with cutoffs and a white tee.

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: My boyfriend recently moved to Newport, Rhode Island, and I plan on making many trips there this summer, which means I’ve been in the market for the perfect weekend suitcase. Luckily, Madewell and Away have teamed up just in time for summer travel to create this special edition two-tone carry-on. It’s unbreakable (guranteed for life!), and has a built-in charger, which is great because I’m notorious for my phone being dead!

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: Every morning I put on comfy shoes and commute to work with every intention to change into one of the eight pairs of heels I keep at my desk. Then 2pm rolls around and—whaddya know?—still in comfy shoes. Which is why I’m making a conscious decision to invest in fun flats that aren’t, well, basic flats (read: no more ballet slippers). I’m having a real love affair with lace-ups and this blush-hued perf pair makes me feel totally fine with ignoring the heels under my desk all day.

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: One of my favorite brands has launched a limited edition collection, Boden Icons. Needless to say, I had to shop the line immediately, and I fell in love with these striped palazzo pants as soon as I saw them. Not only are the bold colors eye-catching, but the volume and movement of the pants is also striking. They are definitely one of those pieces in your closet that you whip out when you need something special and super-cool to wear, whether dressed down with a t-shirt and white sneakers or more formal with a silk tank and strappy heels.

Jillian Ruffo, Associate Beauty Editor: I’d estimate that my makeup brush collection holds upwards of 100 brushes (yes, I know) — from eye shadow to contouring and beyond. But while it continues to grow, I continue to return to my set of beloved IT Cosmetics brushes. Not only do they have some of the softest bristles I’ve ever felt, they’re also cruelty-free, crazy long-lasting and some are even double-sided, making them perfect for travel. But the real proof that they’re awesome? I’ve spotted the double-sided complexion perfection brush (third from left) in the kits of multiple makeup artists — including Kim Kardashian’s go-to pro, Mario Dedivanovic.

Alex Apatoff, Deputy Style Director: I know what you’re thinking, and let me stop you right there: I didn’t think I was a bralette person either. But this bralette is some magic combination of sexy and supportive without being overly lined or padded. It looks great under clothes (whether or not you’re wearing it to be seen), it’s not flimsy or flammable-feeling, and it’s so comfortable I’ve even worn it well into my pregnancy! I’m telling everyone I know to get one, and that now includes you.

Brittany Talarico, Senior Style Editor: I’ve been on a non-fiction kick lately, and I recently finished this book in two days while on Spring Break. Ruby Warrington (founder of the fashion/culture online magazine The Numinous) documents her own path of self discovery, from leaving her dream job as fashion journalist to creating her own digital publication, citing her own transformative experiences with meditation, tarot and astrology. It will inspire you to live in the “Now Age,” and I enjoyed it so much I’m reading it for a second time with my book club.

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: Finding your perfect mascara isn’t easy, and more often than not, I’m disappointed by ones that I try. To put it frankly, this one blew me out of the water. While I normally like to layer two or three different ones each day (I know, I’m a bit crazy), when I tried this new formula from Mally Beauty, my lashes looked so long, curled and voluminous, I didn’t even want to put on another. The icing on the cake? My equally as makeup-obsessed roommate thought I was wearing false lashes. Now that is what I call a winner!

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: I do NOT need another tote bag. At least that’s what I told myself when my friend posted a pic of herself with this cute nylon style. Then I read her caption which revealed that the bag and the straps are reversible and you can add personalized flair with pins, snaps and tassels, and well, you can guess what happened next. I went with the silver/black carryall version (plus some smiley face and lip pins), but the camo print is cute too. Bonus: The bag is super lightweight and fits tons of stuff so it’s great for travel.

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: When this double-ended wand arrived at the office, I was about to add it to the giant bin of lip glosses and balms in the beauty closet (a place that’s as magical as it sounds), when I realized one side was actually a gel-oil cuticle treatment. So clever! But where should it go in the closet — with the lip or the nail stuff? I solved this unique conundrum by putting it my own cosmetics bag and my lips and cuticles have never looked better.

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: For a lifechanging spa treatment unlike any other, you need to take the trek over to the Lush Spa in N.Y.C. The Planets treatment transports you to a tranquil getaway of a full-body massage,  relaxing facial and hand massage that will release physical, emotional and mental tension. When you arrive to the quaint space, you pick a card out of a deck that features one of the nine planets. Then, your entire treatment is customized to what you choose. I selected Mercury, which meant my entire experience was based off of the word “release” – exactly what I needed after a stress-filled week at work. 

The expert massage therapist uses all natural Lush Cosmetics products throughout the treatment, so if you’re not ready to shell out the cash to do it yourself, you can create your own at-home Lush Spa experience. Just grab one of their face masks, a massage bar and moisturizer so you’re good to go.

Brittany Talarico, Senior Style Editor: I’ve recently ditched most of my underwire bras in favor of bralettes, and this new debut from the Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels collection is currently at the top of my rotation. It looks so cute layered under a V-neck white tee or a button-down chambray shirt. It’s also so comfortable that I feel very free while wearing it, but it still manages to give a nice lift thanks to the lace-up style.

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: A roommate once forced me to count the number of self-tanners I had in the apartment. I think her goal was to shame me into purging, but it had the opposite effect. Those 21 (yep) different products only solidified my belief that I’m a bronzing connoisseur whose mission to test every one out there and report back to the world (read: pale, sunscreen-obsessed friends like me) could not be swayed. This one passes my test. Why? It gives instant color as well as a long-lasting one, it doesn’t streak even if you’re a lazy applier, it’s paraben free and—this is a big one—it smells like coconut.

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: I left my favorite teensy-tiny diamond studs in a hotel room last month so I’ve been on the hunt for replacements. I came across these triangle sparklers while scrolling Instagram and knew they were the ones. Simple enough to leave in for days at a time and funky enough to get noticed. Now all that’s left to do is figure out how many other pieces of jewelry from this new-ish direct-to-consumer brand I’ll also be ordering…

It’s that cute and eye-catching. Whether you love Lilly, live for your latte or just know hydration is the secret to great skin (or all three!), your Instagram story and brunch moment needs this insulated, lightweight and super cute waterbottle, and you can get it on the Starbucks website now.

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: Shopping for denim is always a nightmare for me – the waist is too loose, the ankles bunch up too much and it feels too tight in the thighs. But this cropped skinny style from Liverpool Jean Company did everything but that. The jeans hugged every curve like they actually are supposed to, and the cropped ankle landed perfectly on my leg. I’m stocking up on this style in time to pair it with my slip-on sneakers, sandals and more this spring!

Hey, if I can’t dance like them, I may as well dress like them.

I love them so much, I even bought my mom a pair too!

But that hasn’t stopped me from logging miles with his stroller (the only surefire way to get an infant to nap!) thanks to these shearling-lined boots. Not only do they keep my feet extra toasty on even the coldest days, but they add an element of cool to my otherwise very uncool maternity leave look (stretchy leggings and a spit-up covered sweater). Plus, the zipper makes it so easy to get them on and off, which is key when one hand is perma occupied with a tiny human.

It automatically turns on when you approach, has multiple realistic lighting settings and – more importantly – it has completely improved my makeup game, allowing me to do more with less because I have a better idea of what it will look like when I leave the house. I’d buy one for every room in my house, but that may be a little too crazy, even for me.

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter: My jewelry style is all about delicate pieces I can wear with anything. So naturally I fell in love with Monica Vinader’s latest collection. Everything is sleek and simple with just a subtle touch of sparkle. But I’m totally obsessed with the “Siren” bracelet‘s rose quartz stone, it’s classically elegant and will match with everything else in my jewelry box.

Zoë Ruderman, Executive Director of Content Strategy: If you find yourself in New York City, San Diego or Colorado Springs and in need of a cut or color, go here. I recently discovered the Brooklyn outpost and now I go for (cheap!) root touchups regularly, plus highlights. The vibe is friendly (I spent the entirety of one visit getting restaurant recommendations from co-owner Lorean) and I always walk out of there wanting to take a bunch of selfies—the mark of a good hair appointment.

Lindy Segal, style social editor: In my quest toward becoming a functioning adult, I recently started working out more frequently. (OK fine, I got my first-ever gym membership. Baby steps!) One thing that’s kept me going regularly has been the opportunity to wear my cute new workout clothes, but the perfect gym bag has eluded me — until now. This cute quilted bag can withstand being stuffed in my locker, plus it comes with a bonus pouch for all my athleisure beauty essentials.

Sharon Clott Kanter, Deputy Style Director: I’m not shy about my obsession with fitness. And when I find a pair of tights that I like — which is rare! — I wear them on the regular. This extremely well-fitting, high-wasited and super-slimming pair is my new go-to. The designers behind the cool-girl athleisure brand Alala designed these specifically for Pure Barre, and while I’ve worn ’em in barre class, I also wore them running errands, too.

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: Not that I don’t have enough booties already, but when I saw this embroidered ASH pair I couldn’t resist. I love how colorful the embroidery is and the western-boho feel of the studs and shape – they’re so different from anything that I own. They will definitely become a go-to pair.

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: I never thought I’d hate shopping for a new bag until I got pregnant and had to buy a diaper bag. Sure, there are lots of options if you don’t mind lugging around an enormous tote in a loud pattern with a zillion pockets and zippers. But I wanted something minimalist and preferably in black or gray—basically anything but a traditional diaper bag. Enter Fawn Design. You can wear the chic faux leather bag, which comes in several neutral hues, as a backpack or messenger style and all nine (yes, nine) pockets tucked away for a cool, streamlined look.

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter: I can be a bit of a germ freak so there’s no way I wear my everyday shoes inside my apartment (have you ever seen a N.Y.C. sidewalk?). So that doesn’t really give me many options. It’s either a loose-fitting pair of slipper or nothing. Until I discovered Birdies. They combine a rubber sole and arch support of a sneaker with a comfy slipper-like form. But the really best part? They’re stylish too!

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: I love the idea of a floral pant paired with an oversize chunky knit and heeled booties for fall. Isaac Mizrahi is the master of prints, so when I found out he was launching IMNYC for Lord & Taylor, I knew exactly where to look.

Sharon Clott Kanter, Deputy Style Director: If you’re a David Bowie fan and in need of a pair of new boots, Modern Vice delivers this season with a range of options inspired by the late (and great!) rock star. I’m a big fan of the Bowie Bolt boots here — a classic black boot featuring a motif of Bowie’s signature red bolt, which is just enough to make any plain black outfit I own truly “rock.” (Pssst! They’ve got a few styles inspired by Prince, too.)

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: I’m in the homestretch of my pregnancy and I have like three things left in my closet that fit me, including this stretchy dress. In addition to being super-cute, it’s also really flattering (my significant other even complimented me on it and he hasn’t paid attention to my wardrobe since ever), plus the snap front makes for easy nursing access, which is great since it’s one of the few pieces of maternity clothes I plan to wear post-baby.

Jillian Ruffo, Associate Beauty Editor: Winter in N.Y.C. is rough — especially if you’re someone like me who refuses to wear a pair of bulky snow boots in order to trek through the slushy sidewalks. So it’s safe to say that when I bought my first pair of gray Timberlands on sale last year, my anti-winter life was changed. And this year, I’m upgrading to a black (and therefore virtually stain-proof) pair of the waterproof boots — and I’ll be wearing them from now until the first sign of spring.

Alex Apatoff, Deputy Style Director: Call me the Goldilocks of wallet shopping: Everything out there feels too big, too small, or has a zipper I hate. But with its sleek shape, abuse-proof pebbled leather and genius interior design (I love the zippered pouch and diagonal pockets for cash and other miscellany), I might have finally found my “just right.”

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter: I’m pretty picky when it comes to sneaker shopping because I want something comfortable enough to wear back and worth to the office and still look stylish enough to leave on all day if I’m just not feeling heels. Luckily, I discovered Allbirds. First, they’re made with merino wool which regulates temperature, minimizes odor and wicks moisture (a total trifecta as far as sneakers are concerned). And the super simplistic design makes these look good with any outfit. But my favorite part is how comfortable and lightweight they feel. After just a few wears they’ve already made my daily commute much more bearable.

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter: I don’t know where this sweater dress has been all my life, but I intend to exclusively wear it all winter long. It’s just as comfy as wearing straight up sweats, but it’s totally appropriate for the office and perfect for lazy weekends. If you buy anything this season, make it this cozy find.

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Intern: I’ve been on the hunt for a good pair of work-appropriate neutral Nikes for what seems like forever (my feet can only take so many days in heels a week).

The lightweight, rose-, lime- and cucumber-infused formula smells as delicious as it feels on your face and is gentle enough for all skin types. Believe me when I say, it’s truly worth its $40 price tag!

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: I wanted this equestrian-inspired watch ever since I spotted it on the runway of Tory Burch’s Fall 2016 runway show. Aside from the fact that it’s a fabulously functioning timepiece, the cuff strap feels (and looks!) super luxe. Plus, it’s removable — perfect for days when I want a more minimal look.

Lindy Segal, Style Social Editor: Cool thing alert! After the Statue of Liberty was restored in the mid 1980s (stay with me), its original copper remained preserved but untouched…until now. Alex and Ani incorporated the actual copper into their new Liberty Copper jewelry collection, which also features an exact replica of the statue’s iconic torch. That means you can literally wear history! No matter where you lean politically, we can all agree on Lady Liberty, right?

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: This gold collar is minimal, but when teamed with a white tee or black dress, it still manages to make a major statement.

Sharon Clott Kanter, Deputy Style Director: I rarely wear a lot of color in my outfits — except for my socks. With those, I go wild. That’s why I’m loving Happy Socks’ new collaboration with one of the most fashionable senior citizen on the planet, 95-year-old Iris Apfel. My favorite of her designs is this one, featuring blue, red, white and teal birds — unique and fun, just like her.

Sarah Kinonen, Style & Beauty Assistant: I’ve always been a big fan of matte lipstick. And lucky for me, this fall is all about the ’90s-inspired trend. My latest obsession in a tube? Soap & Glory’s Mini Matte Lip, which goes on smooth, doesn’t dry out lips out and comes in five fun, vibrant shades. There’s no doubt I’ll be rocking this stick all season long.

My brown leather crossbody is so worn at this point, it’s practically black and blue. But I just haven’t been able to find any other bag worthy enough to be my main bae. Enter this suede saddle bag.

Crisis averted.

Sarah Kinonen, Style & Beauty Assistant: Last spring, on a whim, I bought a leather jacket from Mango. And ever since, I’ve worn it everywhere (the office, on vacation and even to and from the gym) and have gotten tons of compliments on it (even from celebs!). But because I’ve worn it so frequently, sadly, it might be time for an update. So come fall, I’ll be adding this super-similar style to my everyday look (again).

Sharon Clott Kanter, Deputy Style Director: I know I’m late to the game when I say this, but I just got into layering necklaces. And I’m psyched because the folks at Stella & Dot (yes, the people who made layering so easy with their affordable accessories) just launched a new line of fine jewelry necklaces featuring white or yellow gold and pave diamonds. The pieces look so delicate when worn by themselves, but I also love mixing this with my other necklaces to bring my new layering game up a notch.

Alex Apatoff, Deputy Style Director: I love the white sneaker trend, but the combo of general N.Y.C. filth and my innate lack of coolness makes it impossible for me to rock them on the regular.

Catherine Kast, Editor: I’ve worn the boar bristles on my fancy brush down to tiny little nubs, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to spend the $200 required get a new one. But when a friend loaned me this one for an end-of-day touch-up at the office, I fell in love with it. I decided I needed to buy one of my own, and googled it, expecting it to be as expensive as my former faves. This is where it gets crazy: It’s only $22 and produces the exact same bouncy, shiny results! I’m already considering it one of the gifts I’m going to buy for my mom, grandmas, and cousins for Christmas.

I wear it every day, with every outfit and didn’t think I could love the brand more until I discovered their classic cuffs. They come in silver and rose gold so they match every timepiece. I can already say, it’s not about to come off anytime soon either.

Sharon Clott Kanter, Deputy Style Director: As a loyal gym rat, I hold leggings to very high standards. (I blame it on bad experience with unknowingly see-through black leggings and a subsequent flashing of my backside to my entire spin class.) Point is, I’m pretty pleased with Sweaty Betty’s new launch, which is also beloved by Hilary Duff, Jamie Chung and Ashley Tisdale. These are not see-through at all, and the fabric is so stretchy that it’s perfect for spin, yoga, weight training, running — basically anything. I’m also really into how the glossy stripes accentuate my shape, rather than cutting me off in weird places and making my legs look like sausage links. Overall, big win here.

Jillian Ruffo, Associate Beauty Editor: For years, I’ve been comitted to applying my foundation with nothing but my fingers. So when the Artis Palm Brush (yes, it’s as big as it sounds) landed on my desk, I was skeptical. But after giving in — and experiencing the smoothest application of my life — I’m a total convert. I simply dab a few spots of foundation all over my face, and blend with the brush, which because of it’s size, takes no more than 10 seconds. Mind. Blown.

Jackie Fields, Beauty Editor: When you work in beauty, it feels like a fragrance launches every day. But the likelihood that one of these scents is so mesmerizing that even a faint whiff will transfix you is more rare than witnessing a lunar eclipse. The intoxicating combination of notes (among them bergamot, apple, rose and musk) in Creed’s Aventus for Her does just that to me. Stopping me in my tracks every time smell it in the air, I am transported back to the first time I experienced it one sunny morning in a waterfront restaurant in N.Y.C. The beautiful aroma (and the blissful memory I’ll forever associate with it) was well worth the splurge.

Alex Apatoff, Deputy Style Editor: I’ve been slow to pick up on the bodysuit trend (unlike fellow editors Sharon and Brittany), but I have to admit it looks much better tucked into a skirt than a sloppy tee.

Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: I’ve indulged in two prenatal massages over the past seven months of my pregnancy and while relaxing, they’re not nearly as satisfying as the real deal since most therapists are hesitant to apply more than light pressure. So when I scheduled a Mama Mia treatment at the Spa at Sea Island during a recent trip, I didn’t expect to have one of the best massages of my life. But that’s exactly what happened. For starters, the spa itself is amazing. You wait for your service while lounging by a pond in a huge palm tree-filled atrium (see photo) where there’s tons of yummy treats to snack on (I really appreciated the cookie selection). I told my therapist that I was experiencing neck and shoulder pain and asked her to do her best under the restricted conditions. Sixty minutes later, all of my knots were gone and I was practically crying that it was over. It was that good! (P.S. Two more oatmeal raisin cookies eased my emotional pain.)

Sarah Ball, Fashion Market Editor: I have a jewelry obsession that has taken a turn for the worse (well, at least for my bank account). My latest find: A piece from the brand AUrate, which has elimited the middleman, keeping their prices low and fair, while producing jewelry that is all real gold and ethically sourced. AUrate just introduced pearls into their collection, and I obviously couldn’t resist, opting for a pearl skimmer made of 14K gold and real Akoyo pearls. The best part? Your purchase gives back. For each piece of jewelry sold, one book is donated to an underprivileged child.

Blame it on the warm weather, the humidity or genetics, but this summer, my skin has gone breakout crazy. So, in order to combat pesky popups, I added Belif’s new essence, which boasts oil-fighting ingredients like willow bark and tea tree oil, into my skincare rotation. And after just a couple weeks of use, my complexion has cleared up and my confidence has sky-rocketed.

(Plus, the new initial edition will ensure my husband stops swiping mine on the way to work.)

Sharon Clott Kanter, Deputy Style Director: Being in the sun so much this summer has really dried out my skin, and it seemed as if no moisturizer I tried would hydrate my skin just enough. So last weekend I decided to test this coconut oil-infused bad boy and — I was shocked! — it totally worked. It’s billed as a multitasker for super dry skin, so I put it everywhere (elbows, legs, arms, chest, etc.) and it smelled awesome, glided on smooth and gave me a nice, dewy glow that lasted all day and night. I heard it’s tough to get out of the bottle if it’s cold, so I stored it at room temperature and it was just fine. I used so much in one weekend, I need to restock, stat!

I’ve been looking for the perfect wipes to use after my morning pilates classes, when I’m not sweaty enough to merit a shower but still need to be fresh for the office. These are my go-to: The tea tree oil is a natural anti-fungal, so in addition to using them to keep my face clear, I swipe under my arms before applying my deodorant. It might sound like TMI, but it’s been a post-workout game changer—I feel totally clean all over.

Something I do not: Their accessories budgets. But I received these beautiful shell-shaped earrings as a gift, and since this gallery is “What We’re Loving,” I had to share.

I was in that group until recently, when at the six-month mark, I desperately needed some bottoms that fit my bump and the “just size up” strategy ceased to work for anything but dresses.

Emily Kirkpatrick, Associate Style News Editor: Maybe this is a Millennial problem, but ever since I was a tween I’ve been on a desperate hunt for the perfect gloss. A journey that begain with MAC’s iconic Lip Glass and has since gone through a million variations of too tacky or too goopy shades. That is until I found Perricone MD’s No Lipgloss Lipgloss (and really their entire No Makeup Makeup collection) which hydrates my lips while tinting them a natural, if a few shades rosier, hue than my usual deathly zombie pallor. I never though I would say this, but in the wise words of Lil Mama, “My lipgloss is popping.”
