We’ll admit it: One of the biggest perks of our job as editors is that we can test dozens of products and let you know if they are really worth it your hard earned money. We’re also just avid shoppers, so in the spirit of dropping the gatekeeper, we’re sharing a few standout favorites from the past month that we usually reserve for group chat. Welcome to the interior.
A skin mist that really makes a difference…
After hours at the office, my skin always feels dry and tight because of the building’s AC. Because of this, I look for a spray that is gentle and moisturizing. I received a sample of this mist from COSRX and instantly fell in love. The fog is nice so I don’t feel like I’m getting wet in the afternoon. Instead, it’s very soothing, like a quick glass of water that soothes away any itchiness. My makeup feels refreshed and any dry patches are treated instantly. I keep it in my backpack for now so I can pop it when I want. — Alexandra Napoli
The flip-flops that made us change our minds…
Remember how I said last month I haven’t bought into the flip flop trend? Well, that finally got me down. The cool girls on my channel specifically wear Havaianas – so it’s no surprise that most of their styles cooperation of the century with Isabel Marant mostly sold out, except for a stray pair Here. A few equally good (and more affordable) pairs I have in mind: square version I first saw the classic in my favorite Gen Z sister black coupleand a a pair of jellies it’s just fun. — Martha Upton
The hand serum we didn’t know we needed…
Because I wash my hands incessantly, I have very dry and chapped hands. This Paume serum came across my desk while I was working this storyand I’ve been catching up ever since. Since it is a serum, it is light and non-greasy. And in addition to being packed with hyaluronic acid, bacuchiol and vitamin C, it has notes of cedar that make it a complete aromatherapy experience. My hands are the softest they’ve ever been and it helps with fine lines too. – Margot Gertner
The linen skirt we wear all summer long…
I’ve never been a dressy person, so I’ve put together a separate breezy collection for summer. My favorite outfit formula for those hot as hell days: slip midi skirt + cropped tank + flip flops (thank god they’re cute again). This linen midi skirt is my new favorite addition to the lineup. A slightly fitted and cinched A-line belt gives it that Jennifer Aniston ’90s vibe that always looks great. – Carolyn Goldstein
A fitted sheet that won’t budge…
I’ve always had a problem with my sheets slipping off the mattress when I sleep, especially when they’re satin or silk. But as a warm sleeper, I’m constantly looking for a bed that actually keeps me cool, and this is an impossible combo. Then I tried the Breeze fitted sheet and it completely solved my problem. Even though it’s cotton, it has a silky, satin-like feel that’s incredibly soft while keeping me cool throughout the night. The best part? There’s an elastic band under the fitted sheet that keeps everything securely in place, so I’ll never wake up in loose sheets again. Really some of the best sleep I’ve had in a long time.

A beautiful candle that stands out from the rest…
I’ve always been a candle girl, so I know that not all candles are created equal. This A Dopo collection from Paddywax has become my latest fragrance obsession. Not only are these candles beautiful, but they smell absolutely divine and make great gifts. Right now I’m burning orange blossom to get me excited for summer. Spoiler alert: It works. — Alessandra Rey
A summer collection for all wear…
I was itching to update my summer wardrobe and came across Petal & Pup during a random inbox scrub. I hadn’t really heard of them so I jumped at the chance to try out one of their embroidery kits. Wow, I’m so glad I did. Not only is this set the heaviest, it’s incredibly breathable and hugs me in all the right places (without making me feel constricted). As someone who loves to wear black all year round, I can’t stop reaching for these two pieces for date nights, weekend brunches and more. PS: If you’re a bride, the white version would be super cute for a rehearsal dinner or bridal shower. — Alessandra Rey
