The Truth About Lip Balm:

Check the label for petroleum by-products. Ingredients like petrolatum dries out lips, prompting constant reapplication. (Now you know why you're addicted!) Use naturally moisturizing shea or coconut butter instead.

The One Bag for Everything

If you like fabric like we like fabric, you will go ga-ga over this adorable bag by AgainNYC. Reminiscent of Orla Kiely, Angela Adams, and Amy Butler—all textile designers who are masters at bright, modern graphics that pop yet are still always pretty—this mini-barrel bag effortlessly adds a little cheek to your chic. And here's the best part: Every bit of it is refurbished and reused from old leather and "forgotten fabrics," as AgainNYC designer Allison Teich puts it. Perfect for most occasions and all temperatures (and especially in-between seasons), we can easily imagine bringing a little spark to sweater and jeans or a feminine boost to one of fall's menswear-inspired suits. Or think of it as a proper design element and just park it on a console table, on a chair or ottoman, and let it sit pretty.
