At Coveteur, we're never not shopping. I personally love to justify it as being part of my job: I have to keep recommending the best ponchos and bangles, after all, and we always want to be tuned into what is new and exciting. Doing that and not picking things up for ourselves along the way is challenging, nearly impossible I would argue. Don't worry, though. We're not just splurging on things that we don't need and won't use. We understand the importance of intentional shopping, thinking before impulsively spending, doing our research, and constantly asking ourselves: do I actually need this?
This month, these are the purchases that came with no buyers remorse, the products that we've been leaning on, and the things on our wishlists that we now need to seriously considering biting the bullet on.
Femmue Dual Essence CamelliaFemmue Dual Essence Camellia
"I've been carrying around the mini version of this mist in my bag and it's perfect for a mid-day pick-me-up. The light floral scent is incredibly soothing, and dual-essence formula gives my skin a plump, steamed dumpling-like glow." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Yon-Ka Hydra No. 1
"I thought I'd tried every hyaluronic acid serum under the sun, but somehow missed Yon-Ka's—until now. The serum was my savior during a week in Ibiza, where my thirsty skin drank it up every night and woke up soft and hydrated. Plus, I like that the milky texture feels rich enough to skip moisturizer after." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Touchland Golden Amber Power Essence
"I tend to gravitate towards luxe, niche fragrances, but I'm not ashamed to admit I've been wearing a $20 body mist from Touchland all month. If you love Baccarat Rouge or Ellis Brooklyn Amber, this "power essence" will be your new favorite--it's a golden, warm amber with surprising depth and a woody dry-down. I also love that since it's a body mist and not an eau du parfum, I can spray generously throughout the day and not be afraid to overwhelm anyone with my scent." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Beau Domaine The Fluid Cream
"My combination skin is finicky when it comes to moisturizers, but this one from Brad Pitt's Beau Domaine has become my go-to during the sweatier months. The light texture sinks in instantly, leaving my skin looking plump and hydrated, and doesn't break me out. Plus, I swear the antioxidant-filled formula has brightened my skin over time. It's so good, even my boyfriend steals it from me (and he's become a very discerning skincare user!)." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
The Park Lia Tee
"I truly did not understand the power of a perfect black tee until I tried on this one from Sarah Bonello's luxury basics brand, The Park. First, the material is buttery-soft, just the right amount of thick and stretchy (but not constricting), and magically makes me feel and look more put together each time I put it on—whether I'm wearing it to the airport for an overnight flight or to the office with my favorite pair of Frame wide-legged jeans." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
BODE Blossom Beanie
“Recently our Associate Editor Bianca Asare wrote about the current crochet cap boom. My sister knitted me a mohair one which I wore most of spring despite the heat, but now that we are in the depths of summer and cusp of fall, I need something a little breezier. This Bode one ticks all the boxes.” - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Sophie Buhai Classic Circle Bangle
“I am a sucker for silver bangles, and this Sophie Buhai piece is the perfect forever bracelet. Sturdy, simple, and perfect for everyday.” - Sophie Buhai
Etagére Side Table
“I recently moved and I’ve been very slowly furnishing my room. I’m still without bedside tables and have been thinking about this piece from Rye for months now, I love the geometric shape and organic materials.” - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Justine Menard Perséphone Ashtray
“This ashtray is so whimsical and beautiful. Perfect!” - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
Épifenē Bangles Set
"We all know and love the chunky bangle trend, but these are the perfect accessory for transitioning into fall. I’m especially into the asymmetrical design—it adds an unexpected edge that elevates the whole look." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
With Jéan Penny Skirt
"I’ve officially succumbed to the polka dot trend—there’s just something undeniably timeless about a midi skirt, and With Jéan’s quality never misses." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Dôen Iona Short
"Constantly out of stock for very good reason, these are the perfect piece to throw on when you want something comfortable but still look put together. The green is at the top of my wishlist as soon as it's restocked (refreshing every second)." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
Everlane Draped Top
"Heavy in my current outfit rotation is this top from Everlane. The Draped Top offers just the right amount of polish for office days and just the right amount of edge to wear out to dinner. It’s the kind of piece that slips effortlessly into any situation—comfortable enough to live in, elevated enough to make people think you planned it." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Lip Combo By @AlexConsani
"If it’s good enough for Alex Consani, it’s great enough for me. Her MAC Lip Combo offers the perfect pout that elevates everything from coffee runs to night outs." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 39
"Was I influenced by Bella Hadid? Absolutely. This slouchy shoulder bag has that perfect lived-in suede texture that makes it feel effortlessly cool (ideal for the fall days to come). Structured yet soft, it carries everything I need while somehow making even a simple sweater-and-jeans combo feel luxe." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Y/Project x Melissa Court Mules
"These have been on my mind for over a year, but there was always a part of me that couldn't justify the splurge. Miraculously, I found them on sale with only one pair left in my size. At that point, the choice really wasn't mine anymore, the universe had decided for me. Reviews from friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike all point to them being relatively comfy. Stay tuned." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
The Pattern Blow Dryer
"As someone who had chemicals in her hair for most of her life, I'm still learning about how to take care of my super coily hair. I love and trust Pattern Beauty because one of my favorite curly/coily-haired gals is behind it: Tracee Ellis Ross." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Georg Jensen Silver Hinged Bangle
"I won't stop going on about bangles. I got the ring version of this as a birthday present from my mom, and now I can't stop thinking about getting the bangle to match." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Pendant
"I admit, the Alhambra has long been on my jewelry wish list, but it wasn't until I saw this vintage-inspired design with its golden micro-sized beads that my heart skipped a beat. It's the perfect layering piece for my current everyday necklace--a single diamond on a gold chain--and the timelessness of the design ensures that I'll be wearing it for years to come." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Prada Antiqued Leather Pumps
"I have not been able to stop thinking about these antiqued leather pumps from Prada since I first marched down the runway, and now, thankfully, they're finally available to purchase. The purposeful deconstructions, the unexpected contrast of raw leather against a weathered black, the perfect little bows in the front—I am coveting, hard." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Cinq a Sept Wilder Gown
" I found this gorgeous Cinq a Sept dress never worn with tags (NWT) on Poshmark and was immediately obsessed. I've only worn it twice because I want to ensure it lasts for as long as possible. Both times I've worn it I've received an endless amount of compliments!" - Sierra Cook, Graphic Designer
Schutz Marayana Pointed Toe Stilettos
"I found these while thrifting in Brooklyn, and they were the exact boots I was imagining before going out shopping. My mom's advice has always been not to go shopping with an exact image of the clothing you want in mind, because you will always end up disappointed. Unsurprisingly, she's always been right. However, these gorgeous boots are the only exceptions to that rule I've ever encountered, which is part of why I cherish them so. My miracle boots!" - Sierra Cook, Graphic Designer
