New this week
On July 25, kitchenware company W&P launched their first-ever Lunch Box as a part of their larger Porter collection. Inspired by the design of the bento box, the Lunch Box has a 4-cup bowl, a bowl divider, a 2-cup removable tray and a lid with a snap strap. All is made from BPA-free plastic that you can throw in the microwave.
Stitch Fix, a favorite personalized shopping service of ours at Select, debuted The Commons on July 26.

Ariana Grande’s r.e.m. beauty — similar to Rihanna’s ever-popular Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin lines — introduced the chapter 4: out of body collection. The line includes four products: sweetener concealer, dreamcloud blender, lunar magic blurring primer, and satin sheets blotting papers.

What we bought this week
I haven't found myself engulfed in a book in a while, but "The Measure" by Nicki Erlick immediately sucked me in. If you're a fan of "The Midnight Library" or "The Immortalists" (both of which I also recommend), then you'll probably enjoy this fantastical read that centers around mysterious boxes that predict the life spans of every adult on the planet. Within this mystery, there are touching stories about love, loss, friendship and what it means to live with an expiration date. — Morgan Greenwald, senior editor
Opening a kitchen cabinet and seeing tangled cords dangling from small appliances drives me crazy. In my quest to organize better, I found these ZYP cord wrappers. You can stick them onto appliances like blenders, toasters and coffee makers and wrap the cord around the center piece, or the “cord keeper.” (I find them so useful that — even though they’re marketed for us in the kitchen — I use them in my living room, too.) Despite being so small, these cord wrappers really tidy up my apartment. — Zoe Malin, editorial intern
