Design emails people love to get.

Sometimes you’re just in the MOOD for the crème de la crème. So this week we’ve curated your all-time favorite items featured, just in case you missed them the first time around. (The clicks don’t lie.)

I highly recommend you blast this soundtrack as you peruse today’s issue. Enjoy!

If you’re wondering how I maintain my youthful glow, the answer is beauty rest, people. Achieving total darkness at lights out has been much easier since I discovered the Nidra sleep mask. It is lightweight and (critically) doesn’t squish the eyelids.

I love the elegance of a cloth cocktail napkin, so I accept how high maintenance they are. Last year, I spotted this set of Jonathan Adler embroidered lips linen cocktail napkins and am now equally obsessed with this embroidered insect collection from Sferra.

Meet the Socrates corkscrew, by far the most-used gadget in my home — a simple and elegant example of where perfect design meets function.

Need a hostess gift before summer disappears? This is it.

Johnny Was’s designer throw blankets give me a case of choice paralysis. Rumor has it that once you own one, hold on tight, because everyone wants to share.

These colorful, handmade candles from Lithuania seem lifelike because the texture of the hand looks so real — and feels it, too. If this particular gesture is too much for you, browse the entire selection, which includes: Crossed Fingers, Peace, OK, and You Rock.

You never forget the day it happens — glancing down, unable to read the minuscule type on the restaurant menu in front of you. Desperate for some reading lenses with a little style, I ended up forming an expensive habit of snapping up vintage glasses. In the past year, I have lost three pairs and decided it was time to find an all-in-one solution. Well, folks, the search is over. I have discovered Hopper reading glasses by Caddis,

which are pretty darn chic (and have progressive lenses) to boot!

Have you ever been to a new, hip restaurant in Brooklyn, looked down at the menu, and thought, “Am I being pranked?” The overuse of ampersands in restaurant names and absurdist menu descriptions have been satirized in the form of the Brooklyn (Faux) Bar Menu Generator, where you’ll find “lime tormented arugula” served with a side of “massaged watermelon.”

Check it out if you need a laugh today.

Thanks for reading, and see you September 18.
