For this week’s “Don’t Dillydally,” we’ve rounded up a range of newly released products we’re particularly excited about, including Susan Alexandra’s collaboration with Crocs, New York Magazine–branded sweatshirts at Zara, and illustrated Joana Avillez invitations.
New York–based designer Susan Alexandra has teamed up with Crocs on some Jibbitz and a few pairs of shoes, including a mary-jane style. On the Jibbitz front, you can choose between a trio of sweet-looking animals or diner classics (both made from Alexandra’s signature beads), but I’m particularly fond of the tiny bistro set, which comes with a table, two chairs, and a potted plant.
If you’re planning any holiday shindigs, illustrator Joana Avillez has collaborated with Paperless Post on a charming collection of invitations.
Speaking of the holidays, jewelry brand Local Eclectic has just released an Advent calendar. While a beauty Advent calendar is always fun, this one is filled with gold-plated baubles including four rings, three earrings, two necklaces, two charms, and one bracelet.
The Nugget (a modular foam “couch” that kids can rearrange) is a cult-status item among toddlers and their parents. The brand has rereleased a mini version of its beloved couch in five colorways. The Mini Nugget sold out when it was originally released in 2023, so don’t delay, especially if you have any kids on your list you need a gift for.
Quiet Town, the maker of my favorite shower curtain, has a new Up-Cycled Collection. The patchwork robe and curtains are made entirely from the scrap linen left over at the Quiet Town factory.
Shoppy-shop Big Night has released a limited-edition line of 100-percent-cotton linens in a poppy-red striped pattern. There’s a robe, eye mask, duvet, and pillowcases.
Zara has two New York (that’s us!) sweatshirts out: a “Reasons to Love New York” classic crew and an embroidered hoodie.
