Our Top Picks for the Week of June 25, 2018
Summer equals fun, so, yes, we are completely on board with glitter booties. And yes, why not add a shiny, metallic stripe to a tote, and saturated, sexy color to a lip balm? And let's elevate our patio game while we're at it: sassy serving ware (shouldn't every spatula say smokin' hot?) and an edgier (yes, edgier) rose-scented candle round out the week's Top Picks.Alicia: The Kempton & Co. Storm Silver Suede Tote combines the signature simple silver stripe over a gorgeous storm-gray suede with black leather straps and brass zipper pocket inside. Polished off with a large, dip-dyed horsehair tassel, this is the perfect leather bag for transitioning from the beach side to a night on the town. Can fit a cover up, towel, and the Kempton & Co. medium pouch. (Available at TSALT, $495)Angela: Kari Gran Lip Whip Color Balms are the perfect mix between a balm and a lipstick. These velvety organic whips incorporate the most essential, effective lip-loving ingredients that actually nourish and moisturize versus temporarily masking dehydration, dryness, flakiness, and chapped lips. (Available at Bellacara, $24)Elizabeth: My perfect shoe would be pointy, a low heel, and covered in glitter. So basically the Parker Glitter Bootie by Veronica Beard. I wore it all day last week and they were so comfortable, which is the fourth requirement. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $595)Celeste: Whether you are the “Grill Master,” “Smoking’ Hot,” or both, this platter and spatula are terrific hostess gifts or cheerful additions to your summertime BBQs. (Available at Kiskadee, $58)Amy: A downtown take on your classic rose, soft floral notes strike a perfect balance with subtle notes of musk and sandalwood. Stop by for a smell of our newest candle line, Brooklyn Candle Studio. You and your nose will be glad you did. (Available at Penny Post, $30)
