Ouai anti-dandruff shampoo
Ouai is always popping up in our best-of lists regarding hair care—like scalp products, shampoos, and hair masks—so we were pleasantly surprised by the release of its new anti-dandruff shampoo. The shampoo contains 2% salicylic acid (y’know, the stuff you’ll find in acne-fighting products) to help clear away buildup and excess oil, while helping to keep hair clean and smelling good courtesy of ginger, basil, and spearmint.

Rowing Blazers x Hunter short rain boots
Rowing Blazers loves a good collab, the latest one being a capsule collection with the rain boot legends at Hunter. The five-piece line includes Hunter’s short, tall, and Chelsea boot styles, all done up in classically preppy stripes or chevrons.

Satisfy Justice Cordura hydration vest
You may know Satisfy best for its pre-distressed, moth-hole-ridden running shirts (and for generally being a reliable purveyor of stylish workout apparel), and it’s now turning to something slightly more functional in the genre: a five-liter hydration vest. The cord-heavy number is fully decked out with storage, and comes with two sleek 500ML Hydro Flasks in both front pockets. It’s the perfect accomplice for reaching new heights on a hike or trail run, but the tactical details wouldn’t look out of place on a run to the bodega, either.

Salt & Stone Leon Bridges body wash
No one was asking for it, but our interests are certainly piqued: Salt & Stone’s releasing a new body wash that’ll help you smell like Grammy-winning artist Leon Bridges (or, at least, like Bridges’ dad, who we have to presume has a great scent). The musician worked with Salt & Stone to infuse the brand’s body wash with a black rose and vetiver fragrance, a scent that he says reminds him of the way his father used to smell. The gel cleanser is both cleansing and hydrating, and yeah, you’re gonna hop out the shower smelling delightful.

Ikea Symfonisk floor lamp with WiFi speaker
Sonos has been a long-time collaborator on Ikea’s Symfonisk line, which combines the retailer’s Swedish designs with some excellent Sonos smart speakers—albeit at an affordable price point. This new floor lamp, which stands at five feet tall, is the latest addition—featuring a bamboo lamp shade and built-in speaker that’ll blend in seamlessly with any industrial-style apartment (as well as pair well with any other Sonos audio device).

Food52 x Dansk Købenstyle saucepan
Back in 2018, viewers of chef Samin Nosrat’s Netflix series Salt Fat Acid Heat became obsessed with one of Nosrat’s yellow saucepans, which was later identified as the Købenstyle saucepan from the Danish brand Dansk. The carbon steel saucepan often comes in charming colors, adding in handsome features like wooden handles and lids that doubles as trivets. Food52, which now owns Dansk, is releasing new colorways for the brand’s coveted saucepans, like this blacked-out number (which, as of today, is still primed to ship out for the holidays!).

Castlery Sacha performance bouclé armchair
We’re fans of Castlery for its good-looking, affordable sofas and other seating, which is why we named it one of the best places to buy furniture online. In case you still haven’t jumped in on the white bouclé trend, the brand is releasing a new mod Sacha armchair, decked out in a critically spill-resistant version of the fabric. Bouclé usually doesn’t come cheap, so this under-$1,000 offering is an excellent find that’ll hopefully help you feel less anxiety when your house guests are lingering on it with red wine in hand.
