EDITOR'S NOTE

I’m currently reading Yours for the Season by Uzma Jalaluddin, and I was thinking to myself that it reminds me of Mindy Kaling’s best TV shows (so, all of them) combined with the coziness of The Holiday. If you’re looking for something seasonally appropriate (and both easy and enjoyable to read), pick it up. And if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it or listen to it for free.

Good news for those eyeing Dooney & Bourke’s Florentine Nano Satchel after seeing it all over TikTok: It, along with hundreds of other styles, are up to 70% off during the brand’s 12 Days of Dooney sale. It lasts until Christmas day, with Italian leather accessories starting at $38. One of our editors is taking advantage of the sale to finally replace her old wallet.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

Teleties Flat Round Hair Clip

A clip you can comfortably drive, workout, and lay down wearing.

Amika Soulfood Hair Mask

A solid hair mask for beginners. PS: You can now shop the brand at Ulta.

Vionic Teddy Cozy Loafer Slippers

They’re chic while keeping your feet warm and providing arch support.

Just Wear This

Not groundbreaking news: Abercrombie & Fitch has really good pieces right now. Even though we’re stating the obvious, we’d be remiss if we didn’t call out the pieces we’re eyeing for winter:

• A pair of relaxed, high-rise jeans that are comfortable enough to wear working from home.

• A cozy sweater with some knotted detailing.

• This wool-blend trench that’s giving Carrie Bradshaw energy.

• This vegan leather bomber that goes with everything — including athleisure.
