We've never considered using a tote bag as a pillow. Until now. This multi-pocket tote combines practicality with a real sense of comfort, making it a great companion for your daily routine. Designed with quilted padding, the bag draws inspiration from vintage flight liner jackets, offering both durability and a unique aesthetic. Available in four colorways, they're all garment dyed and pre-shrunk for an easy, washable daily bag.

Nike makes some of our favorite day-to-day socks. They're comfortable, durable and never get slouchy. But they're typically only available in white or black. But MoMA has released an exclusive set of Nike signature socks that come in a kaleidoscope of colors. They'll look great with your white spring kicks, slid into your Birkenstocks or popping out from loafers.

Aimé Leon Dore takes on the classic spring jacket. The brand's version of the Harrington is cut from a vintage-inspired cotton/nylon blend and tailored in a boxy, relaxed silhouette with a slightly cropped, elasticated hem. It's also got raglan sleeves for greater ease of movement and a sweet little floral embroidered crest on the chest. It comes in four shades, but this rich “pine green” color is our favorite.

This kind of mirror usually costs over $200. It's large, asymmetrical and trimmed in a carved wood frame. The organic shape gives an added sculptural element to the practicality of a good wall mirror, which is why it's a solid investment. But now you can get one from H&M's underrated home line for less than 55 bucks. Don't sleep on such a good interior design piece.
