What our editors couldn’t do without in August

Every month we bring you NYLON’s Obsessed – Your go-to source for everything NYLON editors can’t live without. The monthly roundup includes the must-have products missing from your makeup bag, up-and-coming new bands to stream, and other timely style and entertainment tips.

FASHION

Scarlett Gasque – Wisteria silk briefs

“Charli might want us to guess the color of her underwear, but I wore these silk panties with sheer skirts so everyone could fully appreciate the frivolity of the keyhole (with a dangling rhinestone, to boot).” — Chelsea Peng, Editor in Chief

Aje – Cordelia – Maxi dress with corset

“I’ve officially reached the peak of my wedding spending, more than I’m allowed to spend on summer weekends at rehearsal dinners, receptions and hungover Sunday brunches. Throughout the season, AJE has become my go-to dress brand for all the festivities. They’re really girly (my taste) and most have a bit of playfulness (totally my taste).” — Samantha Leach, Assistant Director of Special Projects

Tank top “Isa Boulder” in green and cream white

“I’m so glad Isa Boulder decided to do menswear. I’ve been a fan of her innovative, sustainably made knitwear for years. I bought this tank top from Dolores in Palm Heights. It’s both substantial and sheer, and perfect for sweaty girls like me who still want to look somewhat put-together at the 95-degree event.” – Kevin LeBlanc, Style Editor

Pandora Organic Shaped Stacking Rings

“I always like to have at least seven rings on my fingers. When I saw this Pandora stacking set, I knew I had to have them in my collection immediately. The sterling silver has a satisfying weight and, most importantly, is extremely durable.” – Kelly Reed, Senior Social Strategist

ENTERTAINMENT/CULTURE

industry on HBO MAX

“There is a much what you can expect from the latest season of industrybut I keep thinking of the Linda Farrow sunglasses that Marisa Abela’s character wears all the time. They’re the perfect bitchy celebrity look for off-duty days and I love them (and now own them).” – Leach

Gustaf Westman wine glasses

“Finally, a fun wine glass on the market. The Stockholm designer’s latest product may be his best yet. I can’t wait to host again just to have an excuse to break out his fabulous, functional and quirky glassware.” – Reed

Didi

“Didi is a funny, emotional time machine that catapulted me straight back to 2008. This coming-of-age film is for everyone whose freshman year was also marked by Myspace, AIM chat sounds, Hellogoodbye, Paramore T-shirts and all the embarrassment that comes with it.” – Lindsay Hattrick, Senior Designer

Othership in Flatiron, New York

“‘Emotional rave’ best describes the class portion of this new bathhouse, but I’m even more obsessed with the music in the ice bath room, which made sitting in a coffin full of cold water feel like a Sam Mendes war epic.” – Peng

BEAUTY

BVLGARI Men’s Perfume Rain Essence

“This BVLGARI cologne smells like what I imagine Edward Cullen’s signature scent would be. With its woody and musky notes, it is a highly evocative scent, like folding clean laundry with the window open during a light summer rain.” – Reed

Paya Hydrating Hyaluronic Highlighter Skincare Gummies

“The original reddish gummy bears were my best buy of 2022, but these newer orange ones are just as good – they’re a nutritional bomb for the skin, leaving you looking extra even and radiant.” – Peng

Auntie Anne’s Knead Eau de Parfum

“Yes, Knead actually smells Exactly like the Auntie Anne’s you see at the mall. Foodies rejoice, because this is salty, buttery pretzel perfection.” — Hattrick

MUSIC

“Bad idea” – Ravyn Lenae

“Ravyn Lenae’s second full-length project Bird’s eye view sees the singer go from success to success, and on “Bad Idea” she floats over a percussive neo-soul/R&B beat, warning her ex-lover not to come back for more.” – LeBlanc

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 wireless earphones

“I don’t want to sound like a nerd, but the bevel is So nice. The case also functions as a Bluetooth transmitter, so you don’t have to pack one for flights where you’re not smoking. (NB: jade green is the best color.)” —Peng

“Realms” – Sarah Kinsley

“I’m already preparing myself to be completely absorbed by Sarah Kinsley’s debut album. Escapee. Following the release of their new single ‘Realms’ – which came out earlier this month and has been on repeat in my apartment ever since – I can’t wait to see them live at their show at Webster Hall next month.” – Reed
