Now that mornings are starting to require an actual sweater, my excitement to get dressed again has fully returned. September’s edit leans into that shift: great denim, soft layers, richer textures, and a few beauty and home finds that are making everyday routines feel better. Consider it a first look at what our editors will be wearing, using—and probably gifting—through the months ahead.

In Our Closets

The Frances 32″ Wide Leg Jean

I thought nothing could come between my Anessas and me—my most-shopped link of the entire year, and a pair I still adore—but the Frances has fully entered the chat. It has that same leg-lengthening ease with a slightly cleaner, more tailored cut. I have the “Mezzanotte” wash with the 34-inch inseam for a lounge-y, floor-grazing length.

The Zaire Sweater

I’ve been looking for a really good brown sweater, and this one is it. It’s soft, oversized without swallowing you, and the kind of thing I can throw on with jeans and immediately feel like I’m put together. I’m calling it now: This is the sweater I’ll be reaching for on repeat this fall.

The Harlow Necklace

I’ve been wearing this nonstop lately. It’s one of those little everyday necklaces that makes even a very simple outfit feel a little more finished, but still looks completely effortless.

The Women’s 2026 Barn Jacket

I feel like I’m going to be living in this jacket all fall. I love the slightly boxy shape and the brown-and-navy color combo; it has that vintage, borrowed-from-the-boys feel that makes jeans and a tee look so much cooler.

The Practice Tee

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect white tee, and this one has officially made the rotation. It’s soft, relaxed, and just the right amount of oversized—basically the kind of tee you want multiples of.

The 100% Cotton Oversized Sweater

I promise this is the best sweater you’ll find all season, and even better, it’s from Gap. The soft, double-layered cotton knit has stolen-from-your-boyfriend vibes, complete with drop shoulders and a relaxed, oversized fit that layers over anything.

The Cool Jean

I’m incredibly obsessed with these waistband-free, low-rise jeans made from the softest denim I’ve ever touched—comfortable from breakfast to bed. The drawstring toggle and signature “SH” embroidery give it just enough personality without trying too hard.

The Bia Mini Hoops

I’ve worked these sleek mini hoops into my ear stack for the perfect hit of shine. They’re small enough for every day, and special enough that no one will guess the price.

The Blake Glasses

I’ve been reaching for these lately and love how they instantly make even a very simple outfit feel more pulled together. The tortoise is so good, too—classic, but with just enough shape to feel cool-girl-coded.

The Petit Moyen

This has been my everyday bag for nearly three years, and it still looks perfect. I love that you can switch out the straps at Clare V., so you can change with the seasons. It’s so chic—the epitome of the LBD of bags.

In Our Routines

The Stress Relief Supplement

I’ve been trying to make my daily routine feel a little more intentional, and this has become one of those easy things I’ve actually been able to stick with. I keep it where I can see it and take it as part of my evening wind-down, and I really do feel like it helps relive my stress so I can actually enjoy my night.

The Rosemary Hair Duo

I’ve been on my hair journey lately, and this is the shampoo and conditioner I’ve been reaching for. I really feel like it’s making a difference, especially when it comes to the overall health and feel of my hair. It’s become such an easy part of my routine.

The Miracle Balm

This is one of those products I always want to have on hand. I’ll tap a little on my cheeks when I need to look more alive, and it gives that really pretty, fresh-skin effect without making it feel like I’m wearing makeup.

The Restorative Hand Wash

A good hand wash is such a small thing, but I swear it makes a difference. I love having this by the sink because it feels a little more special than your everyday hand soap, and the bottle is pretty enough to leave out.

The Sculpted Complexion Foundation Stick

I don’t wear makeup very often (mainly because I don’t love the sensation of it on my skin!), but when I do, I reach for Ogee’s organic foundation stick. It blends like magic and doesn’t cling to my dry skin or leave me looking cake-y. I’ll be ordering a slightly lighter shade for the winter soon!

The Jam Jam Lip

I’ve been keeping this one in my bag lately. The Rhubarb Pie shade is so pretty and natural, and I love that it gives my lips just enough color while still feeling like something I can throw on without thinking about it.

The Dream Coat Supernatural Spray

I’ve been paying a lot more attention to the health of my hair lately, and this has become one of those steps I don’t want to skip. I use it before styling to help protect my hair from heat and keep it looking smooth and healthy. It’s a small addition to my routine, but I really notice the difference.

The OSEA Ocean Eyes Age-Defying Eye Serum

I’ve been trying different products over the last year to help brighten my under eyes, and this serum quickly became one of my favorites. With an easy-to-use roller application, this serum has really helped with brightening my under eyes as part of my skincare routine.

The Palo Santo Hair Mist

When fall comes, I put away my more gourmand scents and reach for woodier, muskier fragrances. And fall is for layers—so best believe I’ll be layering lightly scented body oils with perfumes and hair mists! This palo santo hair mist is light, but rich. It smells luxe, in the most grounded way, surrounding me in a halo of one of my favorite scents.

The Pro Filt’r Fluid Flex Natural Matte Longwear Foundation

Fenty Beauty has done it again. As a fan of tinted moisturizers and concealers, lightweight formula has done the impossible: making me reach for foundation in my daily routine. It’s super lightweight, but buildable enough to make my face look smooth and poreless while still looking like skin.

The All-In-One Nutrition Shake

I love when a product lives up to the hype. I’ve been drinking a macro-friendly Ka’chava nutritional shake daily for a few months now with no sign of stopping. My favorite is the vanilla because I like starting with a neutral flavor. I always add ice and up to a cup of frozen fruit for a simple shake. That said: My current obsession is this protein + fiber-packed mix that truly tastes like a cheesecake milkshake: 2 scoops + half frozen banana + frozen raspberries + 1/2 c Greek yogurt (add ice and cover with water, blend).

In Our Homes

The Reclaimed Wood Pedestal Tray

I love finding little pieces that make everyday things feel more intentional, and this pedestal does exactly that. It’s one of those simple additions that makes a kitchen counter, coffee table, or bathroom sink feel instantly more pulled together.

The 12-Piece Misenware Mixed Set

One of my favorite kitchen swaps lately: Misenware! When we moved back in August, I took a bunch of our old kitchenware (like heavy glass containers!) to Goodwill, hoping to refresh our Tupperware. As a mom, I didn’t want to go back to plastic, but bulky tupperware didn’t fit our lifestyle either. Enter these lightweight, durable, stackable, and microwave-safe stainless steel containers! I’m obsessed.

The Mesa Recycled Carafe and Glass Set

I love having this by my bedside. It feels so intentional, and there’s something about having a beautiful carafe and glass waiting for me that actually keeps me accountable to drink more water and remember to take my evening supplements. It’s become a part of my nighttime ritual that I really look forward to.

The Fernanda Burgundy Rug

I’ve been loving a little more color at home lately, and this rug is such an easy way to bring it in. The burgundy feels rich and warm without being too much, and I love how it makes the kitchen feel a little more collected and lived-in.

The Turkish Ultra Plush Bath Towel

When we were choosing bath towels for the beach house, we wanted to be really intentional about it. These were the ones we landed on, and I couldn’t be happier with them. They’re incredibly soft and plush, and somehow make every shower feel a little more like a spa.

The Glossy Decorative Tray

I love having little places for everything around the house, and this tray is such a pretty one. The glossy finish makes it feel a little special, and I love using it to corral the everyday things that would otherwise end up scattered around.

The Ceramic Nonstick Always Pan

This is one of those kitchen pieces I find myself reaching for constantly. It’s great for everything from eggs in the morning to a quick dinner, and I love having one pan that can do so much without taking up half the kitchen.

The Original Blanket in Desert Dune

I’m currently in the middle of a cross-country move, and when I started thinking about the cult-favorite things I absolutely couldn’t leave behind, my Lola Blanket was at the very top of the list. Yes, it’s taking up what feels like half my suitcase, but I couldn’t imagine not having it with me.

The Laundry Wash

I’ve become a little particular about laundry, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It makes the whole routine feel a little nicer, and there’s nothing better than getting into bed with sheets that smell this good.
