I’ve had my eyes on these shimmery leggings ever since Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera wrote about them earlier this month. I’m definitely an oversized cardigan, leggings and boots gal during the fall season, and these have got the potential to be my go-to pair this season. Sure, they’re a little bit more expensive than other leggings, but the quality and versatility are bar none.

Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint absolutely loves this flowy fall-friendly dress. “Just using this Boden dress for all my holiday gatherings. Feels like the type of thing you can eat three helpings of turkey in while still feeling cute.” Not only does it come in three different colors, but the dress is also available in petite and regular sizing.

Associate SEO Editor Marissa Wu is picking up a super chic dress this month as well. “I love shift dresses—it nods to all the '60s looks I saw on the runways for FW24, and the bouclé/tweed look is also reminiscent of Chanel. I’m planning to pair with my Margaux Edie boots for a Sabrina Carpenter-inspired look because I am invited to a Sabrina Carpenter-themed holiday party. Also, I feel like matching sets are everywhereeeeeee and I love this concept. It’s sort of like buying a dress or suit—one and done.”

I’ve desperately needed a lighter-weight vacuum when it comes to pet hair and messes. Don’t get me wrong, I do love my Shark vac, but it’s really heavy and kind of hard to maneuver around the entire house. This Tineco has made my cleaning life much easier as it’s super lightweight *and* effective. Plus, it’s currently on sale for just $170 (down from $250), and you can even snag an additional $20 off if you’re a first-time shopper at QVC with the code HOLIDAY20.

And since I’m on the topic of cleaning, this Swiffer PowerMop has also made my cleaning life ten times easier. If you’ve owned a regular Swiffer, it’s time to make the upgrade because my floors have never been cleaner. Plus, this entire bundle is only $30, which makes it even better as you get two mopping pad refills, one floor cleaning solution and some extra batteries to boot.

London is starting to get chilly according to Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz, who just recently moved to the city. “I can’t own enough sweaters, and this cable knit number is calling my name. I love its loose fit and dropped shoulders detailing, which gives it a more lived-in and relaxed look without reading two sizes too large. It’s perfect for those chilly days and nights when you want to look cute but remain cozy.”

The chill is also setting in on California, which means it’s time for a double duty blanket according to Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera. “It's starting to get pretty cool at night in Santa Monica even though it's still warm during the day, so I picked up this cozy electric blanket to keep me cozy without breaking out my space heater.” Super warm and toasty, it comes in five sizes and seven different colors.

I’ve about had it with my younger sister’s cellphone, which has seen dirt and crumbs in unimaginable places, so I’m officially getting her a new one for the holidays. The Google Pixel 9 is right up her alley as she is more of Android girly, and the camera quality is amazing. Aside from HD pictures and videos, it also comes with the choice of 128 or 256-gigabytes, giving you plenty of storage space. There are four sleek colors to choose from, so have at it.

LaBarbera is also choosing cardigans to stay warm this fall. “I also needed to refresh some of my staple pieces for cooler weather, so I'm planning to grab this cardigan from Z Supply that looks perfectly oversized and feels like one I could wear with practically anything,” she notes.

Any great top requires equally great trousers, and according to LaBarbera, these fit the bill quite nicely. “And last I'm obsessed with the unique color of these corduroy pants from Trovata. I think I'll be able to easily dress them up or down and the added elastic at the waist should keep them comfy.” Made with soft cotton, they come into two versatile shades.

Speaking of Cali fashion, I’m absolutely in love with these barrel jeans for its retro 1980s style. Oversized/baggy jeans are totally in right now, and these fit well while not being too loose to the point where they feel like they’re falling off your hips. You can pair these jeans with a wide range of boots/platforms, making them an excellent pick for fall.

Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay has her eyes on a pragmatic standing desk. “A recent move made me realize my family and I have more than enough stuff, so this month it's practical purchases only,” she notes, adding, “For years, my husband has wanted a standing desk, and now that we finally have the space, I plan to surprise him with one. Flexispot is his preferred brand (and lucky for me they're almost always on sale). He's been eyeing the E7 since it's one of the less expensive versions, but I may splurge and get him the E7 Plus since it's sturdier, comes with monitor mounts, a USB charging port and programmable height presets, and has been voted best in performance and value.”

The holidays bring about a lot of short trips for me, which makes this chic weekender bag a necessity for traveling. It’s super spacious, as it can fit up to seven-to-eight outfits, a 16-inch laptop and more. It is also water-resistant if the instance you get stuck in the rain, which is another bonus. Throw in the fact that it comes in three different colors, and the $170 price tag is totally worth it.

Skin care is essential during the cooler months, which is why LaBarbera is reupping one of her favorites. “I just ran out of my favorite Joanna Vargas face wash (it has such a nice, creamy feel and I love that it's packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C to give my skin a boost in the mornings), so I'll be restocking ASAP.”

Tired eyes are always a problem for me, which is exactly why I’m picking up this limited-edition kit from Peter Thomas for the holidays. It comes with gold and water hydra-gel patches that brightens your eyes, and even includes a line-smoothing peptide patches that help with softening your skin. Valued at $200, the $85 price tag is major steal.

Assistant Editor Delia Curtis recently purchased this stunning lamp and has nothing but glowing reviews. “I have had the same industrial style lamp for about 10 years from HomeGoods and it finally clunked out on me, they noted, adding, “So, because my room has no overhead lighting, I was in desperate need of a new one. I knew that I wanted to get something fun and funky, yet functional, so I scoured Urban Outfitters and settled on this colorful iridescent. I love the look of the large base and faux shade as well as the fact that it’s transparent so you can see the bulb inside. I’m looking forward to adding in some Edison bulbs for a vintage feel, but with the modern twist of the multi-colored glass.”

My life has changed since purchasing this shower filter set from Sproos, and I'm not joking either. My skin and hair are starting to look healthier because of the purifier that filters chlorine, sediments and other stuff that may not be the healthiest for you. It only takes about five minutes to set up and it comes with three different types of sprays. I'm fond of the pink color, but if that isn't your fancy, there are five additional shades to pick from.
