"For anyone like me who has fine hair and a lot of it, these spiral hair ties will change your life. My number one issue with hair ties is finding one that can hold the bulk of my hair without creating creases, and these do just that. And the best part? Once they start to stretch out, you can throw them into a cup of hot water and they'll contract back into their original size and shape!

Can you tell I'm obsessed with this bag?" — IY

Loeffler Randall Aria Hand Held Straw Bag ($275)

"I recently converted to silicone straws and was so happy with the lack of waste and ease of washing that I decided to try to find a similar option for reusable snack bags.

Alexander Wang T Classic Stripe Boy Tee ($120)

"I'm stocking up on Summer work dresses and obsessed with this playful paisley print as an alternative to all-over floral motifs. Also, the puffy-sleeve trend isn't going anywhere, and these pintucked sleeves are a superwearable way to rock the look without feeling like you're going overboard. What's more, the feminine midi silhouette can easily transition to date night and parties, and it can be worn as a wedding guest dress, too!" — LL

AFRM Hughes Midi Wrap Dress ($138)

Charlotte Tilbury Superstar Lips in Pillow Talk ($34)

"In the Summer months, all I want to smell like is the beach: warm, coconuty, and with a hint of tropical florals blowing in the breeze.

I woke up to defined waves that were silky soft and had an unmatched, brilliant shine." — Jesa Marie Calaor, assistant editor, Beauty

IGK Antisocial Dry Hair Mask ($34)
