Brazil Editors Reveal Their Top Picks for May

The farmers market is finally worth the trip again. Cherries, early stone fruit, basil that brings back memories of summer in Italy. May is when the season stops teasing and starts delivering. More time is being spent outside, meals are kept simple, and there is a familiar pull toward lighter everything: food, routines, and getting dressed in the morning.

This month’s Editor’s Picks are rooted in that feeling. They include warm-weather pieces that are being reached for, beauty and wellness finds that support a low-maintenance, sun-kissed vibe, and a few home essentials that make the most of being outside. The selections are simple, considered, and ready for what’s ahead.

Fashion

Jeans of the Season

Everyone reaches for white denim when it gets warm, but these feel like a cooler, more elevated alternative. The barrel shape works with everything and is flattering with sandals and a tee. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

The Softest Staple

If you are going to treat yourself to one thing this month, make it this sweater. It is 100% cashmere, slightly boxy, and impossibly light. It is the kind of piece that makes everything else in your closet look more elevated. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

The Day-to-Night Bag

This bag has been a constant companion since the sun came out. It has been used for farmers markets, long dinners, and the kind of days that stretch later. It somehow looks even better with a little wear, making it a classic to carry for years. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

My Slow Morning Set

My love affair with Negative continues, and their new Slink collection is exactly why. The bralette, tank bodysuit, and draped pant were all purchased in Espresso and have been worn together as a set for slow mornings, Pilates, and everything in between. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

No-Fail Frames

These sunglasses in tortoise have been replaced so many times I’ve lost count, and black was just added so they can be worn every single day, without exception. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Pants of the Summer

I’m headed to Portugal for a few weeks, and these are the only linen pants making it into my suitcase. They are easy, breathable, and somehow work for everything: beach mornings, long lunches, travel days, and dinner with sandals. They are the ideal summer pant you end up living in all season long. — Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager

The Leggings That Finally Got the Petite Fit Right

I’m not someone who used to care much about activewear, until I started caring a lot. Two pairs from Elite Eleven have earned a spot in my regular rotation. The Airey Petite Leggings are ultra-lightweight with a second-skin stretch, and a petite fit that actually hits at the ankle instead of bunching at the calf. The Soléa Petite Leggings offer gentle compression, are sculpted without being restrictive, and are not see-through. The Airey is reached for when I want to forget I’m wearing leggings. The Soléa is reached for when I need them to work harder. Next on my list are the Aura Micro Shorts for hot yoga.

Elevated Tote Bag

I’m spending the next two months in London, and I’ve just upgraded my very basic tote bag with a Longchamp Le Pliage bag. It is a classic bag that feels a bit more elevated than a regular tote, and I’m loving walking through the city with it. — Kristen Garaffo, Design Editor

Home

Outdoor Entry Essential

The best way to keep a house clean is to stop the dirt before it comes in. That is why I’m putting these outside every door at our beach house. The performance weave means they can live outside, and they can be thrown in the washer whenever they need a freshen-up. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

The Everyday Entertaining Glass

We just restocked our handmade glassware from Oaxaca, designed to be the glass you reach for, whether it’s a dinner party or a Tuesday evening on the patio. People will ask where you got them. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

My New Fave Mug

I’ve been reaching for this mug every single morning, and it’s made its way into my whole routine. The shape, the weight, and the way it feels in your hands make that first cup of coffee feel a little more grounding. — Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager

Honey With Benefits

I’ve been reaching for Beekeeper’s Naturals Superfood Honey nonstop lately. I’ll drizzle it into Greek yogurt bowls, eat a spoonful before a workout for a quick energy boost, or stir it into tea in the afternoon. It is an underrated pantry staple that feels both delicious and functional. — Edie Horstman, Wellness Editor

Not-Your-Basic Yogurt

I’ve found one of my new favorite sweet treats, and it comes in the cutest little clay pot. This whole milk yogurt is sweet, creamy, and so delicious. Tasting the difference for a sweet and creamy whole milk yogurt is actually wild, and an afternoon bowl of La Fermière with fruit and granola has become my favorite afternoon sweet treat. My current favorite flavors are the vanilla bean and orange blossom honey. — Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor + Photographer

Family Travel Favorite

I’m heading to Australia with my family this month, and I’m so excited to bring this camera. It is a digital camera but feels like a disposable. It has no screen, so you can fully be in the moment. It has been especially fun to let my kids use it, then plug it in later and see what caught their eye. — Brittany Chatburn, Content Marketing Director

Beauty & Wellness

Morning Greens Moment

Summer is when I audit what I’m actually doing versus what I think I should be doing, and my morning AG1 habit makes the cut every time. I think of it as a daily foundation for my health in the simplest way possible. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Trusted Supplement Trio

My most-trusted supplement source. This month, I added a subscription for their Omega-3, the only one I’ve ever taken on an empty stomach with zero fish taste, alongside the synbiotic and stress support. These are the three I’m committed to in my current season. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Hydrated Skin Duo

A shortcut to the summer skin I’m always chasing: plump, glowy, and hydrated without a 12-step routine. The Pure Radiance Oil goes on at night, and the Lipid Lip Oil goes everywhere with me. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Makeup Must-Have

I’ve tried what feels like every brow gel on the market and somehow always end up disappointed, but this one finally locked me in. It gives that fluffy, lifted look without getting crunchy or overly done. — Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager

My Sober Summer Faves

I’m a grateful sober girlie, and what I really want to talk about is the functional mood lift I’ve found that makes social situations feel effortless. Alice Mushrooms Party Trick is a nootropic chocolate formulated with adaptogens and mood-supporting ingredients like cordyceps, kanna, and mucuna pruriens. It delivers calm confidence and lowered inhibitions. For the wind-down version, I’ve been reaching for Apothékary’s Rosé-Tinted Glasses, herbal drops with lion’s mane and schisandra berry that deliver clarity and calm. — Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist

Permanent Purse Staple

I’ve recently joined the club of constantly having hand cream in my bag at all times. This one from Grown Alchemist has a permanent spot in my work bag for its hydrating texture and subtle scent. — Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor + Photographer

My Summer Page-Turners

The Windsor Affair by Melanie Benjamin comes out June 26. It is a fictionalized account of the abdication of Edward VIII, told from the perspectives of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Wallis Simpson. All the Feels: How to Stay Human in the Digital World by Pamela Pavliscak argues that it is not how much time you spend online that shapes your emotional life, but how you engage. Available June 9. — Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist

Hair That Actually Earns a Compliment

I’m growing my hair out super long and am committed to air drying this summer. The Oli G Aqualush Peptide Fiber Mask has become my secret weapon. I apply it before hot yoga in a slicked-back bun, shower in cold water after, and let my hair air dry. The result is shine that makes people ask what I’m doing differently. — Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist

The Serum I’d Rather Not Share

I’m in my get my finances straight era, so I’m being intentional about where the money goes. I’ve leaned in hard on skincare that actually does something. The French Farmacie Alchemy Serum delivers retinol results with none of the redness or flaking. — Isabelle Eyman, Editorial Strategist

Skincare-First Sunscreen

I have been a big Bask girl since their first drop, and I return to it every summer. I was eager to try the new Serum SPF, which promised even more lightweight protection for my face. It truly makes sunscreen feel like skincare. — Langa Chinyoka, Beauty Editor

Stressed Skin Savior

My skin has been reactive lately, and I always pare down my routine when I’m breaking out. The serum I always keep in rotation is this no-fuss, no filler botanical serum. It is full of anti-inflammatory ingredients like blue tansy and manuka honey. — Langa Chinyoka, Beauty Editor
