Each week, The Hot List brings together a round-up of the best pieces currently out there. Think of it as your cheat sheet for what’s worth your investment in beauty, fashion, interiors, and beyond. (Not to mention an opportunity to get the inside scoop on some of the coolest brands founded by your fellow members, too).
