Our Top Picks for the Week of October 15, 2018

It doesn't get more varied than gourmet martini olives, pink pom-poms, and bath bombs that don't leave the tub a mess, but that's the range of fun stuff we've got for you in this week's top picks, plus a "leopard light" sweater, denim that hits the fit-style-price trifecta, and better-than-simple studs.Celeste: Linda Richard’s pom hats are back! When the temperatures dip you will reach for these toasty warm, funtastic hats that come in multiple colors. The pom may be vibrant or more muted…you decide. (Available at Kiskadee, $78-$110)Meaghan: Geometric studs are very "in" right now and we have some perfect little dainty options to make any picky jewelry wearer happy. These feature a tiny diamond to bring a little extra bling and come in 14k yellow, white, or rose gold. Oh, and yes - they pair perfectly with that funnel-neck sweater you can finally wear. (Available at Alx&Co., $321)Amy: Top bartenders know genuine Spanish olives make for the proper martini, top-off the perfect Bloody Mary, and truly elevate any other classic cocktail. That's why we are so excited to introduce Collins Cocktail Olives stuffed with pimento in Vermouth and stuffed with blue cheese. They are a perfect addition to your cocktail collection. To learn more about the art of cocktails, I hope you will join us at Red Barn Mercantile on October 18 for an evening of fall cocktail demonstrations with enthusiast Andrew Whitehead of Liquorary. It’s sure to be a delightful evening! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $10-$13.50)Elizabeth: I have never met an animal print that I didn’t love. My sister, who does all of our purchase orders, has actually told me I am not allowed to place any more personals of animal print items, which clearly I will ignore. I love the soft, subtle colors of this Rag & Bone sweater; it will be added to my collection this winter. (Available at The Hive, $395)Alicia: All the rage at TSALT right now? The arrival of Good American denim. Comfort...check! Flattering…check! Price…check! It’s madness I tell you!! Literally, these are flying off the table! It’s a must try for sizes 2-16. I warn you, please call 703.664.0585 before you make the trip to see if they are in stock! And if your size is taken, be sure to leave your name to be alerted of the next delivery. (Available at TSALT, $145-$179)Angela: Each one of Latika’s bath bombs is hand-decorated and puts on a delightful two- to three-minute show, fizzing and turning the water different colors. In addition to ultra-moisturizing ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter, and avocado and sweet almond oils, they have an added ingredient to prevent the color and contents from sticking to the tub. Good, clean fun! (Available at Bellacara, $6.50)
