For Your Attention: 17 Brief Reviews of Some of My Current Favorites
In today's world, it is entirely feasible to avoid making a purchase until you've read a review online. I personally rely heavily on reviews for everything, from socks to sunscreen, but I also enjoy being the reviewer at times. If I come across something I truly adore, I will share it with anyone willing to listen. This has happened numerous times in recent weeks, so I'm opting to share my new favorite items rather than keeping them to myself. Some of my most cherished purchases were influenced by first-hand reviews, and I’m eager to pay that forward.
With each change of season, I'm motivated to explore new items across fashion, home, beauty, and travel, and this fall has proven no different. From my new favorite coat from Zara to a stylish dog bed and earrings that receive constant compliments, my mini-review topics vary widely, which adds to the excitement.

**Zara Wool Blend Short Coat With Scarf**
I regret to inform you that this coat is quickly selling out, but I'm not surprised at all. It looks well-crafted and much more expensive than its price suggests. The scarf is detachable if you prefer a chic collarless look, though I personally like it attached. The color I’m wearing in the photo is nearly gone, but it's still available in Black or Mink. You know what to do.
**Sarah Creal No Further Questions High Glide Peptide Lip Gloss**
I possess more lip glosses than anyone should own (yes, it's a problem), but this one truly impressed me. The Sarah Creal buzz is warranted. It's not sticky at all, yet it lasts longer than a lot of other luxury lip glosses available. I bought it in “My Pleasure,” and it’s the most sophisticated shimmery gloss I've ever used—hands down.
**Agolde Adine Shrunken Tee**
I’m on a continual hunt for the best T-shirts, and this one has captured my attention in every color. The Agolde Adine Tee has a slightly cropped, boxy fit that is incredibly flattering. It's not sheer or flimsy, but it's soft and has a medium weight that's ideal for all seasons. My other T-shirts are currently on a break.
**Nécessaire Olibanum Eau de Parfum Set**
I first encountered Nécessaire's Olibanum scent in its body wash form and was captivated at first whiff. Releasing it as a fragrance is brilliant, and I’ve been using it daily. It's warm and cozy yet remains fresh without being overly sweet. Nécessaire, if you’re reading, please consider a larger size.
**Reformation Lian Cashmere Crew Sweater**
While my collection of Reformation cashmere sweaters is substantial, my latest addition is my current favorite. Most of my sweaters tend to be oversized, so I was attracted to the slim fit of this one, which is even sleek enough to serve as a winter going-out top. The brown striped version fits perfectly into my wardrobe.
**Merit The Winter 2025 Set**
At this point, I don’t think there’s a Merit product I haven’t tried, and everything has been great and visually appealing. I have my favorites, and the new Winter 2025 Set contains all of them in limited-edition hues. The sheer brown shades are gorgeous, perfect for winter yet versatile for year-round wear.
**Alex Mill x Margaux The Clara Mules**
Right now, I am really into flat mules, and when I saw the new Alex Mill x Margaux collaboration, I knew I had to have a pair. The square toe is elegantly designed, and the cushioned insole is extremely comfortable. I could genuinely walk for miles in them. They make for the ideal "throw on and go" winter flats.
**Calpak Luka Large Duffel**
I wouldn't label myself as a light packer, but I also dislike checking in luggage these days, so I stick to carry-on only. I always opt for a spacious duffel bag, and the highly-rated Calpak Luka has been on my radar. I recently got it and tested it on a trip, and it excelled. It fit nicely under the seat in front of me and is padded well, giving me peace of mind about my belongings. Its capacity is impressive, with several pockets and compartments for organization.
**Heaven Mayhem Rhey Sunglasses**
If you enjoy the Heaven Mayhem jewelry aesthetic, you’ll definitely want to check out their sunglasses. I ordered the Rhey shades and have been wearing them non-stop since they arrived. The quality is excellent, and they are incredibly flattering. Take my advice and buy a pair while they’re on sale for Black Friday.
**M.Ph by Mary Phillips Lip Ciggy Sheer Lipstick Balm**
I am entirely enamored with M.Ph by Mary Phillips's Lip Ciggy, having ordered it in every
