Strategist writer Rachael Griffiths dreams in double denim. She’s been on the hunt for the perfect jeans to pair with an indigo denim jacket she thrifted last year and finally found its match — these ones from Topshop. According to Griffiths, “Topshop has rediscovered its mojo” post-ASOS acquisition. The 2010s are back! Also on her mind: the Tower 28 blush that made her less prone to blush blindness and vintage Hermès and Ferragamo ties for her boyfriend.

Elsewhere on the site: Brenley Goertzen polled many fashionable women to find the best trench coats (her top pick is on sale for under $100!), and Kiki Aranita sourced the best edible and non-edible gifts for vegans.

Mark your calendars — on Friday, November 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, Strategist writer and gifting expert Dominique Pariso is going to answer all your questions about the best gifts under $50, live in the comments. Ask away here.

My favorite spatula works much harder than its name gives it credit for. Though its slightly bendy silicone head is ideal for scooping warm cookies off a baking sheet, it’s also fantastic for flipping pancakes and preventing scrambled eggs from sticking to the side of your pan. So, if you're worried about scraping your pots and pans with a metal spatula, this one is the answer. It's soft enough to never pose a threat to your cookware and sturdy enough to handle anything from a burger to some to fresh corn tortillas. —Bella Druckman, junior writer
