Our Editors’ Favorite Summer Finds Worth Carrying Into Fall
Summer isn’t over yet, but these are our editors’ picks earning a permanent spot in our routines no matter the season.
Every editors’ picks roundup eventually asks the same question: what actually earned its place? Not what we bought on impulse, not what looked good for a season, but what we kept reaching for time and time again. These are our answers—the beauty, wellness, and lifestyle picks worth carrying with us straight into fall.
BEAUTY
“Okay, this one has been my daily go-to all summer. It blends effortlessly and never feels heavy, which makes it the perfect swap for foundation in warm weather when anything thicker just melts off.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor
“My holy grail for dark circles. I’ve tried more brands than I can count, and this is the one that actually delivers. The cold metal roller applicator is a bonus; it depuffs on contact.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“I can’t live without this one. It’s the perfect lip balm and a must in my routine, worn daily both day and night. The formula is loaded with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, so it’s doing real repair work, not just sitting on top of your lips.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“This is the one I keep reaching for when I want something that doesn’t smell like everything else in my collection. It’s boozy and sweet without being cloying, and it lasts all day.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor
“This is genuinely the best sunscreen I’ve ever used; it melts right into my skin with zero white cast, which, after years of testing SPF that either pills or leaves me looking ashy, feels like a win.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor

WELLNESS
“I’m usually skeptical of hair growth supplements, but this has really helped my hair grow. I love that it’s just one bottle covering everything from B vitamins to vitamin D, so I’m not juggling five different supplements every morning.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor
“Holy actually got me these as a gift, and I’ve been wearing them on walks ever since. I love that I can choose whether to wear them on my wrists or my ankles depending on the day.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor
“A magnesium drink that actually calms me down. Magnesium plays a role in stress response and sleep quality, so this is my afternoon reset when I need to slow down.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“If I could wear these everywhere, I would. They’re all I wear on weekends. Buttery soft, and the fit is exactly right. The perfect effortless look.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“I pair this with my workouts, and I’ve noticed it helps tighten and smooth skin over time. Dry brushing also supports circulation and gently exfoliates before you shower.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness

LIFESTYLE
“My favorite decaf beans, especially in an oat cappuccino. Portrait is a Black-owned coffee company pouring a new narrative in coffee, and I love supporting that with something I’d drink anyway.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“I love a good spicy chili oil, and this one takes the cake. I put it on everything and always keep a jar in my fridge. It elevates every dish, and everyone who tries it loves it.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“Total book nerd here. I can’t live without my Kindle, and I love the matcha colorway. It’s the easiest way I’ve found to keep up with reading.”
-Holy Smith, Senior Editor, Wellness
“This couch is hands down the most comfortable thing in my home. It’s big, plush, and perfect for sinking into after a long day. The color turned out to be a super chic addition to my living room, too.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor
“This bag is so pretty and so well made, and it somehow fits everything I throw at it. I’ve been using it for weekend trips, as my everyday bag, basically anything, and it’s held up beautifully the whole time.”
-Kelsey-Marie Pitse, Senior Editor
