Essential 8: Golden Week Picks New York City

Nourishing skincare meets buildable coverage in La Mer's travel-friendly makeup compact. Made with the brand's signature Miracle Broth™ moisturizing technology, this luminous foundation is patted on with a sponge and gives the skin a flawless and plumper appearance—all while providing SPF 20 coverage for those sunny destinations.

Discover this age-delay treatment that smoothes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while providing a firmer, luminous look. Best applied at night or after a day of long travel, the firming serum is made with black tea ferment and extract that helps improve the skin's elasticity.

Treat yourself to a new fragrance from Givenchy. L'Interdit Eau de Parfum is a tribute to bold femininity and an invitation to embrace your singularity. White floral notes cut through with dark notes and are complemented by orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose, vetiver and patchouli, unleashing a bold luminosity that flirts with obscurity.

For your next trip, try packing statement jewelry to transform your look. APM Monaco, a contemporary fashion jewelry brand inspired by Monaco and the South of France, offers an elegant statement piece with its asymmetric lucky eye earring, finished with yellow sterling silver and micropave zirconia stones.

A polished option for every day or an evening out, the Whitney shoulder bag is designed in beautiful smooth leather with quilted stitching and sleek push lock gunmetal hardware. An adjustable chain strap converts this style to a crossbody, while the logo-lined interior has space to store your phone, a small wallet and keys.

Women is the first Calvin Klein fragrance by recently-appointed creative director Raf Simons. Inspired by the empowerement and freedom of the modern woman, this light pink fragrance features top notes of eucalyptus acorns, mid notes of orange flower, and end notes of alaskan cedarwood—a light, refreshing scent with depth.

A classic staple, the leather biker jacket gets a modern update from All Saints. The Balfern style is cut for a slim fit, and is made with buttery soft sheep leather that gets better with age. It also includes zipped cuffs, a belted hemline, and slightly cropped length. Call it your favorite carry-on item for years to come.

A good timepiece does more than just tell the time—Michael Kors's 33mm Lauryn watch doubles as an elegant accessory that keeps you on schedule. It features a white mother of pearl dial, and is finished with refined accents such as rose gold hour hands (with a three-hand movement) and interchangeable croc leather straps to suit any style.
