New Stuff Alert: Rothy’s Heels and John Derian for Target

For this week’s Don’t Dillydallywe’ve rounded up a range of newly released products we’re particularly excited about, including a new LEGO Icons set from Pharrell, Fly By Jing’s take on instant noodles, and a charming line of kid’s calendars.

John Derian’s newly reissued Halloween collection for Target features a cast of pleasantly eccentric, vintage-inflected characters, from a jack-o-lantern juggler to a quartet of ominous owls to this curious black cat cushion. (The life-size skeleton pillow is sadly sold out, but you can sign up for restock notifications and cross your fingers that it comes back.)

Great news for me, as someone who simply can’t abide plain yogurt: Graza has expanded into the breakfast aisle. The brand’s new gluten-free granola, Grazola, is made with Vermont maple syrup and oats toasted in Sizzle olive oil.

Another launch from a Strat-approved pantry brand: Fly by Jing now offers sun-dried, made-in-Sichuan noodles in two tastebud-tingling flavors, Chili Crisp and Sweet and Spicy. Shin Ramyun who?

Rothy’s best-selling flats now come with a bit of lift. Available in six fall-ready colors, the High Points are an “elevated” take on the brand’s ballet flats.

LEGO and Pharrell Williams just dropped a new Icons set to promote the upcoming release of his LEGO-rendered biopic, Pieces by Pieces. The set contains nearly 1,000 bricks that come together to create a sleek black rocket ship launching into space. (The kits are currently backordered but scheduled to ship by October 10.)

Who stole the heart notes out of “I Don’t Know What”? Was it fruity Madam Currant or perhaps earthy Pat Von Chouli? Just in time for spooky season, DS & Durga’s Clue-inspired layering set lets you create your very own scents from a lineup of six perfume “suspects.”

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have a face tattoo, now’s your chance to find out, minus the lifelong commitment. ZitSticka – makers of some of our favorite pimple patches – has teamed up with celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy to launch Undercover patches emblazoned with his signature fine-line designs, including hearts, angel wings, and delicate script.

New brand alert: Away co-founder Steph Korey Goodwin has partnered with Union Square Play co-founder Jennie Monness to launch a new children’s brand, Charmspring. The line’s first product is an actually nice-looking calendar board full of interactive activity tiles; the idea is to help kids understand and take charge of their schedule and routines, so they know when it’s time to brush their teeth, do their homework, or look forward to a play date. You can choose from a few starter pack Springboards, or customize your own depending on your child’s age and needs.

Schoolhouse’s new collaboration with Clare V. is brimming with the fashion designer’s whimsical, colorful sensibility, from funky task lamps to striped ottomans.
