DL EYEWEAR

“Schitt’s Creek” multi-hyphenate Dan Levy recently launched an eyewear brand that is as stylish as it is accessibly priced. One of our favorite designs is the Ramsden in powder pink, which includes the company’s motto: “See with love,” words that are inscribed on every frame. In a similar spirit, each pair benefits Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), which helps small businesses—with priority given to women, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and entrepreneurs located in disadvantaged communities.

CHANEL

The French beauty brand’s Summer Nails: The Sky, The Sun and the Sea collection features a rainbow of pastels and vibrant limited-edition shades. Each polish is exclusive to Chanel’s website and is available for $30 —from left to right: Blanc Ecume (dazzling white), Moon Shell (bright lavender), Sea Sea Green (light seafoam), Cap Corail (vibrant coral), Pastel Sand (delicate coral), and Rose Coquillage (orange pink). Featured in the center is Chanel’s La Base Camelia base coat, which helps prep the nails; but one coat of polish can also be used for a natural, neutral look ($30). We also highly recommend L’Huile Camelia ($32), a hydrating and fortifying oil, which can be used as a cuticle treatment before applying polish. The product is nourishing with a built-in applicator tip to push back cuticles.

Exclusively available at chanel.com.

SUPERGOOP

This is hands down one of our favorite sunscreens out there. Thanks to its clear lotion, which feels more like a serum than a sun protectant, Unseen Sunscreen provides SPF 40 coverage but is so lightweight you’ll forget it was applied.

SABON

The skincare company’s Moisturizing Botanical Water is a great way to refresh your skin after being in and out of the sun, pool, and/or ocean.

Made in California, the fragrance company’s Floating eau de parfum has top notes of bergamot and peach with a hint of wild orchid, crisp linen, and sequoia wood. A perfectly airy scent for summer.

Available for $165 at liisfragrances.com.

CHAMPAGNE LALLIER

Until recently, the Maison — founded in 1906 — was exclusively available at Michelin star restaurants. Thanks to the Campari Group, Champagne Lallier has since made its formal U.S. debut with a fresh Grand Rose that features hints of white cherry, pickled ginger, rose, raspberry, and strawberry.

Available for $64.99 at totalwine.com.

ONESUN FARMS

A combo pack is available for $21.98 at onesunfarm.com.
