This Chanel mini flap edit covers rectangular and square minis, colors, top-handle and pearl crush styles and vintage pieces, all pre-owned. I wrote it for anyone who wants the history behind the little quilted bag and what to check before buying.
This Coach bag dupe edit covers look-alike flap, slouchy, quilted, top-handle and suede shoulder bags from other labels. I would start with the flap and the leather, and let the strap decide the rest.
This Zimmermann dress dupe edit covers floral ruffle midis, puff-sleeve linen, broderie, printed silk and corset minis from other labels. I would start with the details a good alternative needs to get right: the sleeve, the lining and the print.
This Byredo perfume dupe edit gathers sandalwood, incense, neroli, mists and rollerballs from other labels that share the soft woody musk of Byredo's best sellers. I built it for the scent family first, then the format.
This Golden Goose sneakers dupe edit gathers look-alike low-tops from other labels with scuffed white leather, star patches, suede trim and metallic accents. I would pick by the sole and the leather before the star.
This Anthropologie dupe edit covers scalloped gilded wall mirrors, vintage-look and hand-knotted rugs, velvet and cane dining chairs, hand-painted stoneware and textured pillows from other labels. I built it around the 2011 Paris-inspired Gleaming Primrose and what I would check before buying any of it.
This MacKenzie-Childs dupe edit rounds up look-alike check plates, pumpkins, planters, trays and mugs from other labels that share the black-and-white check and gold trim. I would build it slowly, one glossy hero and a few quiet checks.
This wide brim felt hat edit covers cream, black, camel, floppy and colored felt hats for fall. I started with the stage hat Sarah Bernhardt wore in 1882 and went from there.
This cropped cardigan edit covers cashmere, fine-gauge, collared, cable-knit and striped styles that hit at the waist. I would wear them with high-waisted pants and skirts all through October.
This edit of cowboy hats for women covers straw, raffia, cream and tan felt, black and brown felt, and colorful trims. I would reach for straw now and felt when the first cold week arrives.
Our edit of shoes for wide feet covers flats, sneakers, ankle boots, block heels and slip-ons offered in wide widths. I explain what the width letters mean and how I would fit each pair.
This riviera chic dress code edit covers Breton stripes, linen, sundresses, hats, scarves and espadrilles for a Mediterranean weekend. I would start with a striped top and let everything else stay pale, natural and flat.
NuFACE started in a San Diego garage in 2005 and is still the name most people say when they mean a microcurrent device. Here is how I think about the devices, the gels and mists that go underneath, and the LED and ultrasound tools that make a good second act.
The NuFACE Mini is the small microcurrent device people pack in a carry-on, and this edit pairs the nuface mini with the gels, mists and attachments that go with it. Eight NuFACE picks sit next to eight other lifting, LED and massage tools to compare.
A gold chain for women can be solid 14k or 18k, gold plated, or a paperclip or curb link, and the label tells you which. This edit sorts fine gold chains, plated chains and link chains, with plain notes on karats, plating and care.
The Chanel flap bag is the quilted shoulder bag that most people picture when they think of the house. This guide sorts pre-owned Chanel flap bags by style, from the Classic Flap to the Boy and the 19. Start with the family you like and compare sizes and leathers.
Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid, which is what lets it get down into the oily lining of a pore in a way water-soluble acids cannot. The FDA recognizes it as safe and effective for over-the-counter acne at 0.5 to 2 percent, and dermatologists tend to reach for it first for whiteheads and blackheads. I went looking for the cleansers, toners, serums and body products that use salicylic acid well, from the face down to the scalp.
CeraVe was founded by a group of dermatologists who wanted a straightforward way to restore skin's natural barrier, and the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream became one of the brand's three original launch products. The formula uses three ceramides plus MVE technology to release moisture over 24 hours, and L'Oreal acquired the brand from Valeant in 2017. Here is where that jar fits alongside CeraVe's other moisturizers, its face care and a shelf of ceramide creams from other brands.
The Clarins Water Lip Stain gives a matte, kiss-proof tint that looks like your lips after a cold walk. Here it sits with the long-wear stains, juicy tints and soft balms I would use for color that lasts through coffee and lunch.

Nars Light Reflecting Foundation is the brand's skin-improving medium coverage formula, and it works best with the matching powders and mist. Here is the whole Light Reflecting family, the other Nars bases, and the cheek and lip pieces that finish the face.
Guerlain opened on the rue de Rivoli in 1828 and has used the bee as its emblem since an 1853 cologne for Empress Eugénie. This edit covers the honey-based Abeille Royale skincare, the Meteorites powders, the lips and four of the house perfumes.
Clarins Double Serum launched in 1985 as two bottles because its water-based and oil-based actives would not combine, and it is now in its ninth generation. Here are the serum, its eye version, the moisturizers that follow it and the Clarins masks and oil I use around it.
