Ciao Lucia Launches Its New Collection And Should, At This Point, Take All Of My Money
Ciao Lucia’s new Summer collection has me dangerously in the lurch of financial ruin – both because I’d like to buy every single piece, along with a one-way ticket to the Amalfi Coast, or Villefranche-sur-Mer (I’m not picky). Neither sound too terrible, aside from the fiscal implications. I’m swooning over all of the gingham ($265), a white cotton number ($345) that’s screaming for a 90-degree-day, and a classic black dress ($385) I’d wear on repeat, if I were so lucky.
Does Your Home Life Need A Scent-sual Refresh?
If you’re craving a little interior newness with the change of the seasons, why not make big shifts with small changes? We’re looking at a few launches this week that’ll breathe fresh air into your spring cleaning.
OUAI, known for its intoxicating fragrances and salon-quality formulas that will hook you on the brand’s hair care, body scrubs and lotions, and perfumes, collaborated with LA-based fragrance brand DedCool this week to launch a detergent that’ll make you obsessed with doing laundry. Really! The Melrose Place Dedtergent ($35) smells like a Los Angeles rose garden, scented with hints of bergamot, lychee, cedarwood, and black musk, made entirely with ingredients sourced from plant materials, suitable for hand or machine washing. The sky blue tin is adorable, too. Snap up this limited edition collab before it sells out – which is likely to happen any day now. You’ve been warned.
And while you’re elevating your aroma, why leave the luxury in the laundry room? Dossier, the label making premium fragrances at accessible prices by cutting out the legacy name mark-up, just introduced a line of room diffusers inspired by designer perfumes. Whether you seek a Le Labo or YSL vibe in your living room, Dossier has six different options to suit your mood. And, because they each retail at $34, there’s no need to stop at just one. Smells like heaven, no?
Grown Alchemist Promises You A Total Skin Renewal – With A Hefty Helping Of Mushrooms, Botanicals, And Adaptogens, from $52
We’ve got not just one, but three new products that are promising to revamp (and literally renew) your skincare ritual. Grown Alchemist’s new Skin Renewal range features a Serum ($72), Day Cream ($62) and clay Mask ($52) formulated with adaptogenic magic-workers like ashwagandha, niacinamide, snow mushroom, and echinacea, designed to improve your skin’s resilience to daily environmental stressors. The result? A brighter, renewed complexion, thanks to ingredients that simultaneously purify and nourish your skin barrier. It doesn’t hurt that those sleek bottles and tubes will look beautiful on your bathroom shelf.
Porcelain For A Lucky (And Delicious) Year Of The Rabbit, $55
To celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Fly By Jing and Wing On Wo & Co. – both AAPI-owned businesses – have joined forces to bring you a one-of-a-kind set of porcelain soup spoons ($55 per set of four). Wing On Wo and Co. is the oldest continually operating shop in NYC’s Chinatown sourcing quality pieces of porcelain since 1925; the shop is dedicated to breathing new life into years of cultural craft, and has been combating the threat of gentrification since the pandemic. Paying homage to the Year of the Rabbit, each spoon has a delicately painted design that symbolizes a year of good fortune. For enjoying cozy bowls of soup, ramen, and heaping drizzles of Chili Crisp ($17), too.

Candle Co. and Big Bud Press that smells like pomelo, bergamot, and LA sunshine; a line of tinted powders from Bobbi Brown’s Jones Road; and a unisex home slipper from Ouive that truly embodies “quiet luxury” (minus the frightening price tag).
