“This gel does double duty: It cleanses your skin with the moisturizing effects of a high-end lotion. I love that it leaves my face dewy and soft, not stripped-feeling. It's a must in my bag for all summer trips to refresh after travel, clean up post-workout and rinse away makeup at the end of the day. I also love the cooling jelly texture and clean scent that reminds me of a hotel spa.” –Lizzy Briskin

“Summer is here! And with the change in season brings an opportunity to fall in love with summer staples to your wardrobe. Enter OAS, a Swedish label founded to create unique, coveted resort wear that exudes vacation nostalgia and harkens back to the founders' summer home in Barcelona.
I love their swimwear prints and plan to stuff a few of their swim trunks in my carry-on bags this summer, but the Puzzle Cuba Terry Shirt has already scored me several compliments each time I've worn it. If you're planning a sun drenched vacation or are on the destination wedding circuit this summer, give OAS a closer look!” –Scott Silver

”My husband and I have been trying to minimize bottles in our shower. Finding Baude's androgynous Darkwave Utopia has been great for both of us and has truly taken the place of both of our body washes. It has a distinct smell that lathers richly, which the brand describes best: "smells like tart adrenaline. Chlorophyll opulence on arid salt flats. Wet cut grass and sweet gasoline. Black hair dye and even blacker picket fences." It's a truly unique product that I have found to be long-lasting and just downright cool.” –Dana Abraham

“Cult favorite Santos by Mónica is back with a new ready to wear line that is going to be my summer travel uniform. Mônica's designed a series of sustainably-produced shirts and pants that are comfy while still being cute enough to leave the house in. After a couple years of wearing sweats to the airport, I'm so excited at this chic alternative.” –Hannah Baker

“The iconic beauty brand launched a special collection of fragrances this summer, and Joyforia is my go-to! It smells like warm jasmine sambac, tuberose, vanilla, and musk and is a great, light scent for warm weather. I think it's also super interesting they've tested it and found that most people find it makes them feel a positive feeling--and for that alone, I'm in!” –Kaleigh Moore

“No matter how much of an adult I am, I still hate—and I mean hate—putting my duvet cover on after I've washed it (which makes me not want to wash it!). Nuvet has made me feel more like a "together human being" with a seamless, effortless duvet system that is zip-forward and button-obsolete. No more folding tricks, corner-holding nightmares, or bed-making distress—the Nuvet is my one-and-done duvet cover with one zip, a high thread count, and sustainably grown, 100% Supima cotton. Put the duvet cover debacle to bed already!” –Annie Goodman

“This is the holy grail: the shampoo I didn't think existed that would actually eradicate product build-up and oil without stripping my hair. I've tried countless scrubs and masks that promise to do the same, and this is the first that has actually delivered. As a bonus, it also smells amazing -- think rosemary, geranium, citrus, peppermint -- and has given me my best hair days yet (and the compliments to confirm).” –Zoë Brown

“New grads and city transplants, this one's for you. I nearly always find myself in a new lease when June rolls around, incentivizing me to keep my *big* belongings minimal and moveable. This year, I finally decided to finally nest and invest in my first-ever solo apartment with furniture that would last. In my hunt, I discovered the Silk & Snow Wooden Bed Frame as the primary must-have for my studio. It was easy to assemble, stylish, sturdy, and immediately made my space feel cohesive. Its neutral wooden grain elevates my space but can align with multiple interior decor styles, so I didn't have to commit right away to any aesthetic. While I'm still curating my apartment, this bed frame made me finally feel "together" in my home and like it's not just somewhere I'm passing through. PS. I got the vintage pinstripe duvet set too.” –Grace Smith

I’ve been looking for a mattress topper and pad for a while now. To be completely honest, although I’ve always wanted each of them, I never really knew the difference between the two… So as I went on my rabbit hole of research to find the best ones out there, most of the ones I came across were not in line with my standards of sustainability and ethics, until I came across SIJO. The best part is: this awesome brand is already vetted by The Quality Edit! And as soon as I saw that, I knew I had found the right one. Now I live a worry-free, comfy-sleep life, knowing I’m protected if anything ever spills on my mattress and more importantly, I have that extra layer of cloudy comfort I never knew I needed. I also got their AiryWeight Eucalyptus Comforter and it's divine! -Naomi Joshi

“I'm giving my lashes a break from extensions, but missing that look of full, dark lashes. Thankfully, I got my hands on the newest product launch from Iris&Romeo - Lash Up Peptide Thickening Mascara and it's made the transition back to natural lashes a little easier! I love the glass packaging to start. It's elegant, luxurious and made using 100% recyclabe glass. The jet-black pigment gives every one of my blonde lashes extra definition and the wax blend provides the lift and volume I'm missing after extensions. Best of all, peptide serum is infused in the mascara to help thicken lash density over time -- something I very much need. The wear is great, too. Through a sweaty run or a Pilates class, it doesn't smudge. Add this to your summer skincare routine!” –Laura Leiva

“I'm Not Dead, the new media company from stylist extraordinaire Sarah Clary and TEDx speaker and champion for women Christina Glickman, is all about the state of being we all feel as we age. Through their conversations (in their newsletter, on their podcast) I'm hooked on "the unapologetic fearlessness, blind confidence and don’t-give-a-shit attitude that you muster when you face something—anything—that you think you can't make it through, even if that something is yourself." I am wearing this hat with pride, and to remind the world that (at 55) I am just getting started. The fact that purchases (I am awaiting them to restock the boat tote, a summer staple, and the chic oversized PJ top which I will wear as a swim cover-up) benefits Girl Up, the global initiative advancing girls’ skills, rights, and opportunities to be leaders warms my heart. See? Not even close to dead.” –Christine Morrison

“I recently got my hands on No. 14 Icila, a new fragrance by Maison Louis Marie. I don't usually stray from my tried and true sandalwood scents, but I was blown away by this sweet and sultry formula. You can immediately smell the notes of jasmine, patchouli and vanilla flower that give this perfume such a sensual floral scent. Take it from me—a serial user of the same perfume since 2015—this is a must try summer fragrance.” –Olivia Ginsberg
