News that set the Strategist-staffer Slack channel abuzz with awws: Zara Kids and Sea New York. The collaboration is full of eyelet trimmings and ruffled edges — details that the latter is famous for. I wish it all came in actual adult sizes.

As seen in our newest Beauty Brief newsletter: Merit launched a brow pencil with a very fine tip for “natural-looking fullness.” No more brow blindness!

The latest addition to Tower28’s SOS skin-care line (you’ve probably seen many an influencer spritz on its spray) is a gel cleanser. It’s been described by the brand as an “intentionally basic formula” — fragrance-free, pH-balancing, and safe for sensitive skin types — featuring oat extract with aloe vera.

Christy Dawn’s first foray into menswear is as cottagecore-cosplaying as you’d expect. The collection includes a short-sleeve button-up (in a zinnia stripe or a daisy print), a pair of matching shorts, and pants.

For the real Deadheads: This is the second time Rowing Blazers and the Grateful Dead made merch together (the first was last May). Of course, there’s a dancing bear hat and tie-dye rugby shirt, but I like the intarsia-knit stealie sweater the most.

A sure-to-be hot-ticket on the Halloweenhead circuit: The homewares in Anthropologie’s Halloween Shop. This year’s decorations include cobweb candles that smell of cypress and Halloween-icon-themed juice glasses.

The Y2K trend keeps trending, and two icons of the era — Juicy Couture and Reebok — have dropped some sportswear. I predict these rhinestoned, logo’d slides are going to go especially quick.

This is the Citizenry’s cheapest bedding yet, with the percale pieces — sheets, pillowcases, and a duvet — priced at under $200 in most sizes (or, only slightly over, if you’re a lucky California king owner). Though she’s only two nights in to sleeping with the sheet set, Strategist associate editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell describes it as “very soft and not sweaty at all so far.”

A quilter of Gee’s Bend — JoeAnn Pettway-West, a third-generation artisan — worked with Crate & Kids on quilts and pillow shams that could become heirlooms. How sweet would this flower-patterned, patchwork quilt be in a little one’s crib?

Our site’s resident toy tester, Liza Corsillo, told me about the new preschool toys from Gigglescape (that’s Target’s in-house toy line), with a pop-goes-the-alligator with a fish hammer and a coffee-house set for making their first latte. One of our senior editors, Winnie Yang, noted a kid-friendly version of the Always Pan and the Dutchess.

Brooklinen introduced a “new-and-improved” version of its waffle-weave months ago — now, it has expanded that into a whole line called Dreamwave. The shower curtain is designed to be lightweight, absorbent, and fast-drying.

What might be the wackiest collaboration in the last week is a limited-edition necklace between Susan Alexandra and Baskin-Robbins. The charms on the chain include a cotton-candy ice cream in a cone, whipped-cream-topped cappuccino Blast drink, and BR-branded pink spoon.
