Our Top Picks for the Week of July 15, 2019

All kinds of practical luxuries today, from a much-loved and missed lip balm that's *finally* back in the U.S., to the coolest way to drink a Moscow Mule, literally, to a charming passport case. A sweater with star patches on the elbows -- because, why not? -- and a pink loafer that will go with way more outfits than you think, trust us.Celeste: Travel in style with these needlepoint passport holders from Smathers & Branson. We have several different styles in stock. (Available at Kiskadee, $108)Angela: Nuxe is back! Many of you were as disappointed as we were when Nuxe pulled their U.S. distribution a few years back. I myself bought a bunch of the Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm when I was in Italy two years ago and have been hoarding and rationing it ever since. That ends now as we are well-stocked on this cult-favorite. (Available at Bellacara, $16)Amy: Hot summer nights pair quite nicely with cocktails. These new, hand-hammered Moscow Mule mugs are 100 percent pure copper and designed to keep your cocktails extra cool. Plus, look at these straws! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $17.50/each)Ali: Check out this beautiful sweater by Zadig & Voltaire. It's perfect for a breezy summer night and it will carry you right into fall. This cashmere piece has some edge to it with its silver leather stars smacked directly on the elbows. Classic in the front and party in the back! Also available in a pale pink. (Available at TSALT, )Elizabeth: We all tend to live in sandals and flip flops all summer. But sometimes you need a shoe that is closed toe and more substantial. We have you covered (pun intended) and in pink! The Loraine by Sam Edelman is the perfect work option and you might not think it, but pink goes with almost everything. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $140)
