NYC’s Best Pizza

I love the “best pizza in New York” debate because in the end, we all win. Thrillist just published a comprehensive guide to NYC’s really outstanding pizza purveyors, and regardless of the style you love most, you’re going to find the perfect pizza destination for you. And hey, if you want to treat this piece as your personal “to-do” list for fall, you have my permission and admiration. Send all standout menu items to my DMs please and thank you.

Marks & Spencer Cashmere

I’m giving you a very solid sweater resource here, make sure to bookmark it. I buy cashmere from Marks & Spencer every year, because the quality is really impressive for this price point. Get your essentials like a classic crew, cardigan, or duster, take good care of them, and they’ll round out your autumn essentials really nicely. I just purchased these joggers, this coordinating hoodie, and this cableknit.

The Sant Kinchaku Bag

Just click the link, take this bag’s beauty in, and come back. I’ll wait. Are you alright? Do you feel faint? How good is this bag?? Bags with scrunched, slouchy details are having a big moment this fall, but there are some that stand out from the pack because they’re almost too gorgeous to look at. This one by The Sant is unfathomably pretty and unique—I bought it in brown and black with the intention of “returning one” but honestly, how can I chose? It comes in other colors, too, because we’re just that lucky.

Pearl Hoops

Pearls are everywhere at the moment (have you seen that Rodarte campaign, omg), and most recently, I spotted these perfect pearl earrings which I simply had to have. Also, I just noticed that they’re called the “Coco Hoop,” and since Coco is what we’re calling Colette for short, clearly these were meant to be mine. Make sure you check out more from this brand too—they have such adorable jewelry and hair accessories at really good price points. Exhibit A: I need this barrette in my life.

Late Night on Amazon Prime

If you’re short on good shows to watch, start paying attention to what Prime Video is up to these days. There are some amazing offerings on right now, and my personal favorite is Late Night, starting Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling, those queens. It’s very witty and funny, centering around a late night show and its writers room. Something really cool is happening in television—major movie stars are getting really into it. Emma Thompson here, Orlando Bloom in Carnival Row, it’s really interesting to see how streaming television has opened up so many cool projects for our faves to work…

Croc Bags for Fall

Anyone who’s been doing any kind of trendspotting at all will know that croc-embossed is the new black for the coming season. I absolutely love this Little Liffner bag (it’s a wristlet!) and I’m really looking forward to seeing how this trend comes to life across the board. If you’re into croc-embossing, or maybe you just want to shop gorgeous accessories for awhile, I dunno, check out a whole host of croc-embossed styles for fall here.

Faux Leather Coat

Wow, I was not expecting to fall head over heels for a faux leather coat this fall, but here we are! This jaw-dropping trench by A.W.A.K.E. MODE is made of heavyweight faux leather and has contrast stitching, but just look at how buttery it looks! It’s giving me 70s spy vibes and I like it. Bonus: The color is called “Gingerbread” which is superior to pumpkin spice in every way possible don’t @ me. Or @ me, it’s fine—I love talking about baked goods

EOS Lip Balms

I know what you’re thinking: “Um, Mary, 2010 called, they want their lip balm back.” And you know what? I don’t care. I recently received one of these EOS lip balms in a gift bag and I re-fell so deeply in love that I ordered this multi-pack on Amazon. Why did I ever stop using these? So hydrating and weirdly satisfying to apply. Sometimes oldies are also serious goodies.

Everlane’s Iconic Modern Loafer is 40% off

I know it’s hot out, but remember shoes with toes? Aren’t they fun? If you’re working on your fall wardrobe (or at least moodboarding it), know that Everlane’s monumentally perfect Modern Loafers are currently 40% off! There’s a reason they made it on my ultimate list of the best flats on the planet. They come in a ton of classic colors that blend easily into your professional or casual wardrobe. Also good to know—these run narrow, and it can be smart to size up by ½. If you’re a fan of Everlane shoes (lol who isn’t? SHOW YOURSELF), their Modern Point…
