This week’s dillydally runs the gamut of things you may need (or else strongly desire) for fall: glittery Timberlands created in collaboration with Jimmy Choo, a set of surprisingly nice-looking witches’ brooms created by home-design line Patch NYC and Crate & Barrel, and a sweater by sustainable-fashion brand Alex Mill (and A Cup of Jo founder Joanna Goddard) that has a pocket meant specifically for a bookmark.
Ghetto Gastro — a culinary collective started in the Bronx — is teaming with cookware brand Crux on a seven-piece collection for Williams Sonoma that includes all the basic appliances one might need in the kitchen, like a bread-maker and a blender. The full collection launches on September 29, but this double rotating waffle-maker is currently available to buy and comes in a sleek matte-black shade with eye-catching red accents. Through October, 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the ACLU’s Know Your Rights Camp, which works to end police brutality and demand racial justice.
Our co-workers at the Cut put it best: “Timberland and Jimmy Choo have collaborated on the ‘most expensivest’ Timbs ever.” The two footwear brands joined forces to create a glittery iteration of this classic boot, with the most blingy versions going for a cool $5,500. If you’d like a more moderately priced pair, there are three other styles to choose from, starting at $595, and for each pair produced, Timberland will plant a tree, in keeping with its pledge to plant 50 million trees over the next five years.
In other collaboration news: Patch NYC has teamed with Crate & Barrel for a Halloween-themed collection that the latter describes as one part vintage ephemera and one part “vintage frights.” This includes a whole bunch of — dare we say it? — tasteful Halloween accessories, including a tarantula made of natural buri fiber, a paraffin-wax black cat, and this set of witches’ brooms, which celebrates “the natural forms of mango and coco woods.”
Queer Eye’s Tan France and Etsy have launched a limited-edition collection consisting of goods by 13 makers — including a squiggly, chubby, pastel-colored incense tray and a cedar-scented candle made from soy wax. We’re particularly fond of this wavy concrete floating vase, ideal for single cut plumes and dried-flower arrangements both.
Makeup Revolution is the latest in a long, long line of Friends collaborators (see: PB Teen x Friends, Alex & Ani x Friends, Lego x Friends), and, as expected, it’s selling out quickly. The collection includes lipstick shades inspired by Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel, along with eyeshadow palettes to match their aesthetics. This Rachel-inspired palette, which features shades like Push Over (a vibrant pink) and Crush (a deep brown), is one of the few still in stock, so if you like it — don’t dillydally.
Modern, minimal bra start-up Cuup just released a new colorway, called Moss, in all of its styles. This includes the Scoop (Cuup’s version of a T-shirt bra), which Strategist writer Karen Iorio Adelson called “very comfortable for a bra that’s also rather sexy.”
This eight-ball candle from streetwear brand Stüssy is a verifiable objet d’art that’s perfect if you’re looking to infuse streetwear into your home décor. It features the brand’s iconic eight-ball design and is made from unscented wax.
Made with the mom-on-the-go in mind, this bag from Rebecca Minkoff was designed in collaboration with Medela, which makes breast pumps and breastfeeding accessories. The bag fits all of Medela’s breast pumps and has lots of pockets to store all their various cleaning tools and pieces. It’s also made from a wipeable nylon that’s easy to clean and comes in a sleek black (stain-hiding) hue.
Presumably inspired by her friend Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart is venturing into the world of CBD with the help of Canopy. The home guru is offering softgels, gummies (in citrus or berry flavors), and drops, which can be added to a tincture or consumed on their own, contain 25 mg of hemp-derived CBD per dropper, and are available unflavored and in blood orange or Meyer lemon.
Created with A Cup of Jo founder Joanna Goddard, this chunky knit cardigan from Alex Mill is perfect for the upcoming temperature drop. Called “the Reading Sweater,” it has two pockets big enough to carry a paperback and another made specifically for holding a bookmark. Of course, you can wear it on non-reading-related excursions, too, and it’s available in five fall-appropriate shades: navy, ivory, pale saffron, blue, and green.
