Did you know there is a Jellycat Diner inside of FAO Schwarz that doesn’t sell edible food but rather plushies in the shape of hamburgers, pancakes, and waffles, and you have to book your reservation weeks in advance? We didn’t either, until our resident toy expert Liza Corsillo alerted us to this fact. We insisted she go and report back. After spending three hours at the Jellycat Diner, she found out why tourists from China to the U.K. are booking these tickets before ones for the Empire State Building and why the diner’s exclusive packaging is so in demand that it’s stored in a padlocked refrigerator.

Also on the site: Arielle Avila spoke to a bunch of fashionable folks about the best knee-high boots and Ambar Pardilla gathered some especially nice-looking catchalls for all sorts of tchotchkes.

The Strategist team has been thinking a lot about moisturizing our skin (see: Tembe Denton-Hurst’s in-shower moisturizing manifesto and Simone Kitchens’s full barrier-repair routine). So, when Brenley Goertzen learned about Osea’s recent addition to the bodywash world, she had to get her hands on it. She was so impressed with how the formula helped calm her red and dry skin, she crowned it our new Best in Class bodywash for skin-barrier support.
