April 11, 2022 – With that long-awaited getaway looming, you might be in the mood for a luggage upgrade. Thankfully, Arlo Skye’s newly launched collection of handsome backpacks and weekender bags will have you jet-setting in style. Perfect for short stays and even more practical pursuits, like your daily commute to the office, these chic designs are available in neutral black, for an understated look, or even a fresh shade of mint green for more adventurous tastes.

April 11, 2022 – Though summer may be a couple of months away, this new scent collab between Nest New York and Gray Malin should tide you over until then. Inspired by each brand’s shared love of photography, interior design, and travel, this fragrant collection of wanderlust-themed scents is the perfect way to refresh your space for summer 2022. We’re particularly fond of the Sicilian Tangerine candle, which is housed in a handblown glass vessel and diffuses sweet notes of juicy tangerine, bergamot, exotic mango, and passionfruit.

April 12, 2022 – Biom is the new cleaning brand here to challenge the notion that your everyday household wipes can’t be fashionable.

April 12, 2022 – Since 4/20 is an occasion that calls for something extra special, we highly recommend the newest collab from Dad Grass and George Harrison. Crafted from a special blend of organic CBD and CBG hemp flower, these joints designed with the famed singer in mind are the chill way to unwind after a long day, not to mention the perfect cool-dad gift (or cool-mom!), when paired with the guitarist’s acclaimed discography.

April 15, 2022 – We think a sectional sofa is always a good investment, especially if it’s coming from a Clever-approved brand like Sabai, whose Essential Sectional was deemed “slightly luxe, [with a] midcentury-modern vibe” by our SEO manager Mark Burka. Last week, the BIPOC- and female-founded brand unveiled an ample corner version of the Essential, available in five-, six-, and seven-seater options and designed to accommodate large households, or customers who like to entertain.

April 19, 2022 – Here’s a bright spot in our week: Schoolhouse, the lighting masters that have been designing and manufacturing iconic fixtures and one-of-a-kind homewares for close to 20 years, just unveiled their colorful summer collection. Though there are lots of lovely lamps and sconces to ogle at, we’re fond of this 1960s-eque Ray pendant, made in homage to the late design powerhouse Ray Eames and whose form is inspired by her sophisticated yet whimsical aesthetic.

Dubbed the Ogle My Office collection, anyone who’s looking to revamp their space with a little bit of cheer should look to the colorfully reimagined Cleo chair or Eave desk. Act fast, their last collab sold out in no time.
