EDITOR'S NOTE
Designer collaborations are back-back, and I am so here for it — mainly because it’s a way to make expensive designer pieces more accessible. The latest: Cult Gaia’s crossover with Gap, which launches today. You can expect Cult Gaia’s unique yet sculptural designs paired with Gap’s casual flare and affordability. Here are some of the pieces I’m itching to buy before they sell out:

Soludos is well known for their bestselling espadrilles, but their Ortholite-soled sneakers are underrated. Because most of them are either covered in leather or suede, they’re dressier than others on the market. Not to mention, they aren’t as expensive. Now until October 31, you can get 20% off all their sneakers and soft leather mules. Click here for the discount.

Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London
The story: We couldn’t not include a vampire romance in this newsletter. One of our editors loved Kate Stayman-London’s Bachelorette-inspired debut and read it in one sitting during the pandemic. Now, over four years later, she’s back with a novel about a grad school dropout who runs a chic Brooklyn hotel and is obsessed with a vampire series called Blood Feud. When one of the very vampires from the book walks through her hotel’s doors, she’s in shock — and maybe a little bit in love. This one is equal parts steamy and entertaining.
