April 21, 2023

Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

We’ll admit it: One major perk of our job as editors is that we get to try out oodles of products to let you know if they’re truly worth your hard-earned money. So in the nature of tossing gatekeeping to the curb, we’re sharing a few standout faves from the past month that we usually reserve for the group chat. Because they really are that good (and we’ll be super sad if they sell out and we can’t get them anymore). Without further ado…

levain-cookies
Levain Bakery

The new cookie at Levain...

I'm a sucker for a Levain cookie, so when I heard there was a new flavor on the block, I had to try it. Happy to report that the caramel coconut chocolate chip is pristine. The coconut isn't too overwhelming but balances perfectly with the caramel and chocolate. Snag a pack of four for a weekend party or for a friend or loved one who has a major sweet tooth. The cookies are thick, gooey, and incredibly delicious. Also, if you don't wanna finish them in one sitting, you can pop them in the freezer and reheat in the microwave later. I usually reheat in 15 second increments until I get my desired gooeyness. –Alexandra Napoli ($29/4 pack, Levain Bakery)

nike-shoes
Farfetch

A pair of split-toe shoes we wear everywhere...

If you're in the market for some new kicks for spring and summer, I'm here to make the case for these Nike Tabi-like sneakers. I can't stress enough how comfy they are. I wear them on hikes and runs, to the office, to after-work drinks, and everywhere in between. Plus, this colorway is so versatile — it pairs perfectly with whites and creams and gives that little pop of warm-weather color that's oh-so Instagram-friendly. They also come in black if that’s more your vibe. –Beck Diaz ($69.97, Nordstrom Rack)

dog-toy
Chewy

A dog toy that keeps them occupied for hours...

My newly adopted dog is capital-O obsessed with these toys. They're slightly scented (they come in various meat-scented or peanut butter options) to engage dogs in play, but it's barely enough to be detected by humans. As dogs chew, tiny scent particles are released from the toys to keep them entertained. My dog especially loves this plush one. –Emmy Favilla ($9.99+, Chewy)

under-eye-cream
Ulta

An under-eye cream that actually works...

I was convinced all under-eye creams that claim to lighten dark circles were scams, but I kept trying them anyway. I was shocked to discover this one actually works. At this price, you can't beat it. –Jessica Kelly ($8.90, Ulta)

bralette
Thirdlove

A bra we discovered from a podcast...

I recently listened to Jamie Mizrahi (celeb stylist to Adele) talk about her brand Kit Undergarments on Pia Baroncini’s podcast, and of course, I was influenced to buy. This triangle bra is so soft and comfortable that it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything, but it still provides the support that I need. The eyelet trim elevates what is usually a boring everyday basic and now I’m itching to add the matching underwear to my ongoing cart. –Margo Ghertner ($42, Thirdlove)

necklace
Mejuri

A simple necklace that looks good with anything...

Full disclosure, Mejuri gifted me this necklace when I was testing for my sweatproof jewelry story. Since then, I literally haven't taken it off. It's so light I forget I'm wearing it and adds a delicate shimmer to any outfit. It looks so pretty on its own, but I'm eyeing the diamond initial charm to add eventually. I love being an 'oh this? I never take it off' girl. –Martha Upton ($198, Mejuri)
