“My mom recently went to Italy for the first time. I gifted her this Prada clutch gift set. It comes with four refillable matte lipsticks in beautiful reds and browns. While the shades are versatile and work across all skin tones, the clutch caught her eye. She thought that was the gift, and the lipsticks became an added bonus.”—Danielle James, beauty director
“While I haven’t always been one to consider myself a hypebae-type sneakerhead, New York has made me one. And naturally, that means I’ve become a fan of Nike. I currently have the Phoenix Waffle shoes in my cart; I mean, they’re just so cool! And I love that they fall right in line with the current metallic sneaker trend happening right now.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

“No matter what TikTok might tell you, not everything you’ll find in a capsule wardrobe is timeless. But if there’s one staple I’d bet will actually stick around, it’d be a button-down. There are so many ways to wear one: tucked into slacks or denim or a skirt; over slacks or denim or a skirt; paired with matching shorts; underneath a suit jacket; over a T-shirt; over a tube top; over a swimsuit; over just underwear if you’re feeling like Carrie Bradshaw…I digress. Some of my favorite button-downs are from Madewell, so I have my eye on the striped Signature Poplin next, especially since it’s 100 percent cotton—comfy for every occasion.”—Lauren Puckett-Pope, culture writer
“I’m of the mindset that you can never have too many black dresses. This one strikes a balance of being both unique yet flattering and office-appropriate yet easy to elevate. I have to have it.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor
“For years, I’ve worn my mom’s vintage oversized denim shirt ad nauseam. It’s the best layering piece. But these days, I fear it’s starting to show its age. I’ve landed on this one as its successor, and I feel pretty good about it.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

“You can never have enough chic luxury candles in your life. I tried Apotheke’s new scent, Charcoal Rouge, earlier this year and fell in love with the notes of smoke mixed with rose. And now, it’s available in a set with the brand’s bestselling Charcoal scent. What more could you need?”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor
“I’ve been a YSL lip product devotee for years, and I absolutely fell in love with the new Loveshine Candy Glow Balms earlier this year—6B, a sheer chocolate, has snuck its way into my everyday rotation. However, I haven’t gotten the chance to try the Loveshine Lip Oil Stick, and this discounted duo is the perfect opportunity to try the formula in two shades I know I’ll want to wear all summer.”—Carol Lee, associate commerce editor

“I truly can’t say enough good things about this multi-use appliance or the brand behind it. I’m a fan, okay?! This air fries, toasts, bakes, roasts, reheats, and broils. Plus, it’s much more aesthetically pleasing than those bulky air fryers I see everywhere.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

“If you’re traveling this summer like me, it might be time for a much-needed luggage upgrade. Whether you’re rushing through the airport, hiking up a cobblestone hill to your hotel, or strolling along the beach to your seaside cabin, you’ll need a spinner carry-on with an unbreakable shell! Plus, it’s TSA-approved.”—Leah Romero, senior digital designer
“I enjoy wearing nice pajamas. It gets me in the mood for bed and once I slip them on, it begins my nighttime routine. These pajamas are 100 percent silk and thermoregulating, so I’m never too hot or cold, no matter the temperature!”—Danielle James, beauty director

“Here’s an embarrassing confession: I used my middle school lunch box for my toiletries until very recently, when I upgraded to Dagne Dover’s Mila case. What was I waiting for? It’s so much better, and I don’t have to hide it shamefully from my traveling companions, TSA agents, or hotel staff. It’s a far better way to live.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor
“This is like a party for your feet! It will go great with a little back dress and also pairs nicely with jeans and a top. I like that the heel is a bit thicker, so they are more comfortable to wear, but not a full-on block heel, which can sometimes look too casual.”—Danielle James, beauty director
