For this week’s “Don’t Dillydally,” we’ve rounded up a range of newly released products we’re particularly excited about, including bag charms from La Bonne Brosse and Hulken x Susan Alexandra, “deconstructed” UGGs, freshening body wipes from Nécessaire, and Nugget’s latest piece of “play furniture.”

Strategist writer Bella Druckman just declared thatglasses are the latest frontier in bag charms, but not even a week later, a new contender has emerged: mini hairbrushes courtesy ofLa Bonne Brosse, which launched created micro-keychain versions of its N.01 and N.02 hairbrushes, designed for shine and detangling, respectively. They come in five colors: Lagoon Blue, Cherry Red, Powder Pink, Saffron Yellow, and Light Blue. They look very nice, even if I don’t love the idea of my hairbrush making contact with the outside world as much as a bag charm does. At $128 a pop, they’re the least-expensive way to get your hands on a La Bonne Brosse brush (which normally retails for $155 and up).
You can also accessorize your mini brush by adding a charm from La Bonne Brosse’s complementaryCall It by Your Namecollaboration. Each design has a bandana-inspired print.
Lots of bag charms this week — you can also now outfit your Hulken bag (or any other bag) with a “Schlep-Mates” charm by Susan Alexandra. The beaded charms — a “love letter to the city we schlep in” — include a bagel, a to-go coffee cup, a heart, and the word “SCHLEP” spelled out.
British designer Matthew Williamson teamed up with Free People on a collection that’s ready-made for a beach vacation. The 15-piece capsule includes maximalist-patterned swimsuits, flowy dresses, stripe-y pants, and a fringe-y sarong. If your summer plans are taking you to Mallorca, you can also check out the goods in person at Williamson’s new concept storeCaserra 71, which opened today.

Nécessaire The Body Wipe
With summer weather upon us, Nécessaire released a new body wipe for shower-free freshening up. The wipes are formulated to invigorate and soften the skin, with a light eucalyptus scent to keep you smelling good.
Looks likeTaylor Swiftisn’t the only one teaming up with Pixar forToy Story 5, which comes out on June 19. Strategist-favoritesuitcasemaker Away launched aToy Story–themed collection of travel gear including suitcases, backpacks, packing cubes, stadium bags, keychains, and bag charms. TheMediumandBigger Carry-Onsizes each come in two newToy Story–inspired colorways, while the kid-size suitcases are themed with specific characters like Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, and Woody.

First came the Nugget Play Couch, then theChunk Ottoman. Now Nugget has released the modular Smore chair so that you can furnish an entire living room with the brand’s kid-friendly foam “play furniture.” The Smore has three pieces that can be configured in multiple ways to build a mini-chair, a fort, or anything else you can imagine. It’s also designed to “grow with” your child — you can raise or lower the back and seat moving the Block and Elbow pieces. You’ll also get a discounted introductory price on the Smore if you buy between now and June 23.

While the shade that writer Erin Schwartz dubbed“gross green”may have been well-suited for late winter and spring, I love a more vibrant shade for summer. Leather-goods maker Lindquist released several of its most-beloved bags in a limited-edition lime green, including the Eggi bag, which is even shaped a bit like a lime.

Known-duper Steve Maddenjust released a summery Firkin. The bag is made from canvas with frayed edges, a turn-lock closure, and ribbon trim in either navy blue or red for a slightly nautical look. According to the brand, it’s large enough to fit a laptop, tablet, book, and water bottle — and unlike an actual Birkin, it’s cheap enough that you won’t feel bad taking it to the pool or beach this summer.

Speaking of summer bags, Parker Thatch partnered with shoppy-shop Big Night to create the “ultimate summer market tote” that can go with you from the farmers’ market to the beach. The bag is made of mesh with vegan-leather trim and comes in three colorways, Sungold (yellow with blue accents), Sardine (blue), and Spritz (red). Each bag also comes with its own constrating charm. You can purchase them online at both retailers or in-person at Big Night’s NYC locations.

Senior editor Winnie Yang spotted quite a few denim rugs in Annie Selke’s newest collection, which she says remind her of the woven rugs from the now-defunct Williamsburg shop Joinery. I particularly like this diamond design, but there arestriped,bordered, andabstractdenim options as well.

Kate McLeod’s beloved lotion bars are now available in a third limited-edition summer scent: Lavender Lemonade. I previously tried the brand’s first two limited-edition summer scents,Tangerine & VanillaandTonka Bean & Coconut, both of which smell delightfully summery, so I expect Lavender Lemonade to be just as good.
