Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

+ NET SUSTAIN Adrien Nubuck Sandals

“I have been on a sandal search almost all summer, looking everywhere for something that felt substantial enough to walk all afternoon in, but not too clunky. These are classic and exceedingly comfortable but have enough support to take me through the Park and back again. And the nude color works with both my cropped black pant uniform and the summer dresses that have allowed me to survive this heat. I'll wear them through mid September I think. There are no rules about that are there?” —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief

Diane L20 Heritage Leather

"The French leather goods label Joseph Duclos enjoys the endorsement of two paragons of Parisian style, both of them, as a matter of fact, first ladies of the Fifth Republic: the current president's spouse, Brigitte Macron, and the model-chanteuse-turned-political wife Carla Bruni. What is it that draws them to the this emerging handbags label with the historic name? We'll only know if we ask them, but creative director Ramesh Nair seems to have an intuition for what women want out of their purses. Before his appointment, he was responsible for the revival of the trunk maker Moynat into an accessories powerhouse." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Platform Block Heel Sandal

"As my T&C coworkers know, I wear these chunky platform sandals every single day in the summer. Not only are they the comfiest heels I've ever owned, but they go with nearly everything—making them the perfect summer shoe." —Emily Burack, News Writer

Zina 360 Sneakers

"I bought these sneakers at the start of the summer and they've easily been my most worn item this season. The cushioning in their heels is absurdly coddling, making them a no brainer for all of those days when I simply can't stay off my feet, and their classic look goes with practically anything." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

Marieta Dress

"I love a maxi dress, like this gorgeous blue and white look from Carolina K for late summer because the length offers some warmth when the sun goes down, but it still feels fun and seasonal." —Caroline Hallemann, Digital Director

Fisherman Espadrille Platform

"The perfect summer sandal to wear for the rest of the season." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

Kent Tee

"The other day I wanted to go to Film Forum to see a Billy Wilder movie—Sunset Boulevard, if you must know—but it was so hot outside I couldn't figure out what to wear from Point A, my air-conditioned living room, to Point B, their air-conditioned screening room. A light and elegant solution came into view: a sleeveless shirt from that paragon of downtown cool Nili Lotan." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Grace Dress

"In the heat of summer, I almost exclusively wear dresses. This Lisa Says Gah dress reminds me of summer on the Italian coast, rather than the dense humidity of my subway stop I find myself in every day. A sweet escape!" —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

Lasse Dress

"As the days start to get shorter, I’ll be holding onto easy summer dressing as long as I can. This dress from Merlette will be a great transition piece for slightly cooler days with it’s long sleeves. And it will look equally great with either flat sandals or boots." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

QUEBO Zip-Pouch Slipper

"Armando Cabral, Zip-Pouch Slippers...I have never been a slipper person but these slippers are like angel wings." —Darrick Harris, Visuals Director

Schon Tech Sandal / Onwuad x Benna Co

"In late summer, I’ll be spending as much time outside as possible to soak up the warmth while it lasts. For my strolls all over Brooklyn, I’ll be strapping on these comfy yet cool sandals from Onwuad so my feet don’t get tired." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

Gabriela Dress

"It's not often I get an Instagram ad that piques my interest, but all summer long I've been getting pop ups of Ciao Lucia dresses all over my feed—and now I need one (or two!) for myself. I'm heading to Europe later this summer and I can already see it being the workhorse dress of my travel wardrobe. Now... which color(s) should I get?" —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Striped (Women)

"I'm strictly a sandals-only girl in the summers but by the time the second half of the season rolls around and there's a hint of that cool breeze in the evenings, I crave something versatile that is still summery but also a great transition piece. Enter espadrilles. I particularly love these from Stubbs and Wootton that come in a shade to last well into September." —Leena Kim, Editor

Bulldog Bonded

"The model Jordan Barrett knows a thing or two about the off-duty look. Now, he's collab'ed with Orlebar Brown on a capsule revolving around late summer fits." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

Blaire Leather Slide Sandals

"In the summertime I'm always running around and spending time outdoors—and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that comfy shoes are a MUST. And these Dr. Martens sandals are not only extremely comfortable, but they compliment any outfit." —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor

Ila Dress

"When I'm lounging around outside, I love an easy dress that I can throw on and go. Even better if it's in a gorgeous print a la the Ila."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

Rose in Nero

"As we enter the second half of summer, I am spending as much time as possible outside—and these Koio black sandals are coming everywhere with me. I love how simple and minimilist they are, but designed in a way that they don't go unnoticed. I also can't get over how well they go with everything: jeans and tee, sundresses, rompers, elegant evening gowns. It truly is the epitome of a wear-with-everything pair." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

Simple Wedge in Caramel Suede

"I love late summer dressing because it means that I can start working in accessories that have a more transitional appeal. These stunning yet simple wedges from Emme Parsons are sleek and timeless, and I love that they come in a rich hue and supple suede. It's the addition of that little detail that takes an outfit up a notch. And as is the case with all of my Emme Parsons pieces, I know I'll wear these season after season."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
