When you think luxury body lotions, an English cowshed may be the last image to pop into your head. But with one sniff of Cowshed's luxe lotions, you'll be an instant convert. The British brand recently became available stateside at Barneys, making it easier for those of us on the other side of the pond to get our hands on it. And with therapeutic, natural ingredients like wild-crafted plant extracts and pure essential oils, you'll want to add these lotions to your wish list.

Available in six "moods," ranging from relaxing to invigorating to balancing, my favorite is the brand's Grumpy Cow ($28). Don't let the cheeky name fool you; this creamy concoction boasts an invigorating scent that instantly adds a jolt of energy when you swipe it on. So the next time you're in a mood, pay a visit to the Cowshed.

In honor of its 60th anniversary, French fashion house Chloé, founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, has re-released some of its most iconic fashion moments in a special anniversary collection. The celebratory array includes 16 exceptional creations by some of its past designers — Gaby Aghion, Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo, and Hannah MacGibbon — including McCartney's pop-art-inspired pineapple t-shirt and Lagerfeld's embellished violin cutout dress. The heritage styles, including accessories in a range of colors, are newly available at Net-a-Porter and Barneys New York; shop them below!

Starting next Monday, your (and our) online shopping outlook will be enhanced tenfold. The reason? Barneys New York is launching a permanent barneyswarehouse.com website. As in, what once was a biannual all-out designer markdown battle of wits, strength, and style savvy will soon be available to us 24/7. Now, no matter where you live (right now there are only 13 outlet stores nationwide), you'll be privy to past-season sale items, discounted to up to 75 percent. "I certainly think this could be our biggest store," said Barneys Executive Vice President Daniella Vitale. And with all this talk of "liquidation" ecommerce, and the obvious excitement that comes with the iconic retailer's move into the digital outlet space, we can't help but hope that this factory fever (J.Crew announced its full-time J.Crew Factory site back in October) continues to grow. Do you think the burgeoning trend of online markdown oases actually prompts us to shop more? Or is it merely the idea of having a more affordable (and accessible) option that makes this news all the sweeter? Weigh in below.
