Pucci Il Palio is Camille Miceli's Fall/Winter 2026 collection for Emilio Pucci, drawn from Siena's heraldic history. I go through the printed dresses and kaftans, the cut and movement, and the separates.
Black dresses for you with mesh sleeves, fluid tanks, sequins, and evening gowns for dinners, events, and late plans.
The Beachwaver curling iron rotates, an idea a hairstylist sketched after one confused phone call. I go through four rotating irons, what Pro, S and B mean, and the prep and heat protectants I would use with one.
Ulike Swift 5 vs Air 10 is a common question, and both sit in the Ulike IPL range I cover here with the Air 4. I also cover other at-home hair-removal tools, cooling gels for after, and a simple schedule.
Stretch mark cream works as comfort: it can leave skin feeling less tight and easier to live in. I go through creams, belly oils and body butters from Mustela, Burt's Bees and Bio-Oil, with what doctors say alongside.
Aromatherapy in the shower comes from shower steamers, fizzy tablets of baking soda, citric acid and essential oils that release scented steam. I rounded up eight to start with.
Soothing scalp serums treat the skin under your hair the way a face serum treats your cheeks, with hydrators, botanicals and gentle exfoliants. I picked sixteen, from daily serums to overnight formulas.
Mother jeans came after eight months of building the name, the 1970s Polaroid-style imagery and the nostalgic style names. I go through the straight-leg and wide-leg pairs, then the rest of the closet.
Mikimoto pearl jewelry began with Kokichi Mikimoto, who created the world's first cultured pearl in 1893. He opened his first pearl boutique in Tokyo's Ginza in 1899, and I go through the pieces I would wear.
Jil Sander spring 2027 is Simone Bellotti's answer to how minimalism survives when everyone has copied it, with a note of imprecision. I go through the knitwear and the shoes with a little attitude.
Dolce Vita Mary Janes sit with the ballet flats and loafers in this guide to the brand's Lower East Side start. I also go through the boots and booties, sneakers, pumps and mules worth knowing.
Cover Girl makeup is a drugstore line that includes Lash Blast mascara and the Clean Fresh foundations. I go through the whole line, from base to brows, and the drugstore rivals worth comparing.
Boot season runs from the first cool morning to the deepest cold, and knee-high, ankle and western boots are all in play. I collect the pairs I would live in, from UGG minis to Prada shearling-trimmed boots.
Ice blue sambas sit alongside navy, sky and metallic blue versions of the adidas Samba. I look at why blue became the colorway that outlasted the Samba trend.
Barbour started in 1894 selling oilskins to sailors and fishermen in South Shields, and the family still runs it from the same corner of North East England. Notes on the waxed jackets that came out of that history, and how to wear one on an ordinary city day.
The Crown Affair pillowcase is a silk one, set here beside Slip's silk versions that brands say protect hair and skin from friction. I paired them with overnight hair treatments and face and lip masks for the pillow.
Straight From The Decade
Shearling boots with straight jeans make a look that reads deliberate, not like a house shoe. I paired shearling and faux fur boots, from ankle to knee height, in leather and suede, with straight leg denim.
A gel polish manicure cures under a UV or LED lamp in about a minute, while air-dry polish can take half an hour to set. I go through the lamps, base and top coats, and the Gelcare shades for fall.
New York jewelry right now is not delicate: weight and shape do the talking. I go through chains, pendants and chokers, cuffs and bangles, and sculptural rings, worn together rather than separately.
A Polène bag is made in Ubrique, Spain, by a Paris label founded in 2016 by three siblings. I sort the shapes one by one, from the Numéro Un to the newer styles, so you can choose your first.
A pink shirt dress keeps the formal-adjacent shape and lets the color do the work, in belted, floral jacquard and ruffled poplin styles. I sorted them by shape and added pink dresses to wear with flats.
A North Face coat for women comes mainly as Nuptse jackets and puffers, longer parkas, or fleece, rain and lightweight shells. I sorted them by type so you can find the weight you need.
Relaxed tailoring has been building since American Gigolo put Armani's soft suits on screen in 1980. I look at the suit jackets that carry that looser cut, with GQ and Esquire both saying it is easing.
This summer shop is a one-stop edit of luxury pieces and bright colors. I start with the color and let the rest of the outfit follow.
Suede bags have become the default autumn accessory, from slouchy shoulder bags to totes and top handles. I go through the bags I would carry first, then the shoes that follow.
Luxury boots for rain come as designer rubber, while Hunter tall and Chelsea shapes set the classic standard. I cover how the Wellington shape works and the easy everyday pairs for wet days.
Light blue dresses come in two colors, an icy cooler blue and a warmer cornflower, and the difference matters more than the silhouette. I sorted them by color and by how formal each one runs.
