Mara Hoffman Cora Cover-Up Wrap Skirt [58] ($325)

Verb Ghost Oil

"I recently made the conscious decision to stop plucking my grey hairs and fully let my witch flag fly (grey hair is in now too, no?), so you can imagine my flyaways have truly taken on a life of their own. This oil from Verb is the only product that's allowed me to consistently tame flyaways while adding a subtle shine to my hair.

Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream

"I've been told by — oh, I don't know — 900+ people that I'm always drawn to the purple object in the room. This is true (and I blame my Alma Mater for that) but the Tatcha the Dewy Skin Cream ($68) sparks joy in a way lavender throw pillows or the aubergine emoji just can't. The formula is packed with antioxidant-rich Japanese purple rice bran, skin-softening algae, and moisturising amino acids — all of which are just a fancy way of saying it's really, really hydrating." - Kelsey Castañon, senior editor, Beauty

ColorBird Stitching Tassel Tablecloth

"I discovered these tablecloths after a months-long search for the perfect table linens, and now I own two of them. I love this tablecloth because it checks off all my boxes: Springtime-appropiate, neutral but not boring, colours that don't show stains, and — most important — machine washable. You can host a dinner party and not worry if this chic-looking tablecloth will bounce back, because it will. Someone spilled an entire glass of red wine on mine, but I got it in the washer quickly and it's good as new." - Nancy Einhart, Senior Vice President and Executive Editor

ColorBird Stitching Tassel Tablecloth [67] ($22-$34)
