I usually wear dresses, rather than skirts with tops, but if I were looking for a new skirt for autumn, this one from Garnet Hill would be at the top of my wishlist. Why? Because it has a print of bookshelves. The catalogue suggsts that each row of books also “looks like an urban skyline.” Sure, why not? Two of my favorite things.
Hurraw! is a small company that specializes in all-natural, vegan lip balms in a range of flavors. They even offer a tinted balm (Black Cherry), an SPF balm, and now, three balms designed to complement the three doshas of Ayurveda. (You can read more about Ayurveda and take a test to determine your own dosha here.)
My dosha is primarily Kapha, with a few aspects of Pitta. However, all three balms sound wonderful to me. They’re flavored with herbs and spices like ginger, tulsi, cardamom, and lemongrass, and they sell for $4.29 each at the Hurraw! website.
Of all the beauty products in my regimen, blusher is one that I rarely re-purchase, only because I take months and months (and months) to use up a single container of blush.

I love cats. I love macarons from Ladurée. I only wear t-shirts for sleeping and housework, but I’d love to own this one. It’s the color of a pistachio macaron and it features the silhouette of the most chic little black cat. It’s just one item in the latest collaboration between Uniqlo and another brand—in this case, a renowned Parisian pâtisserie.
You can view the limited-edition Uniqlo x Ladurée collection at the Uniqlo website.
