EDITOR'S NOTE

I always know summer has begun when peaches start showing up at my local farmer’s market. And while I’m very excited for the warmer months, I also know that I’m about to start searching for ways to stay cool (more on that in the coming weeks). In the meantime, we are days out from a beloved long weekend, and brands are already kicking off their sales. Here are some standouts, along with some noteworthy launches:

• Our exclusive code with Jenny Bird. Use code SKIMM15 at checkout for 15% off when you buy any two pieces from the brand’s main line. You know I love these earrings. Buy a pair for yourself and your mom.

• FP Movement’s latest collab with Hanes. Eyeing these $20 tanks and tees for workouts, errands, and everything in between.

• A major sample sale from Petite Plume. If you’ve ever wanted to try the fancy PJ brand, now is the time because prices are slashed up to 70%.

• A buy three, get two free underwear deal at Soma. BRB, finally upgrading my underwear drawer.

• And lastly: deals from my favorite furniture brand of all time and this design-forward clothing sale with pieces under $50.

Anthropologie loyalists, rejoice. The retailer’s coveted home section (its best department IOHO), is up to 30% off starting today. We’re using this as an opportunity to refresh our spaces and stock up on gifts for just about every situation. Some standout picks: this cottagecore vase, a beaded trinket dish, and these whimsical picture frames.

Ali’s Picks

Our Senior Commerce Director is sharing what she’s loving this week:

• Heliocare Skin Supplement: Before going to Mexico, my derm recommended I take this to prevent UV damage. PS: I 100% still used topical sunscreen.

• Abercrombie & Fitch Bra-Free Dylan Midi Dress: Get this to wear on repeat this summer. I can’t stress the bra-free design enough.

• Solely Fruit Jerky: I tried this a few weeks ago, and have been addicted ever since. Every single flavor is delicious.

• Hot Dog Shirt: I stumbled across this and audibly laughed. Whether for MDW or Fourth of July, this is perfect (it’s also 25% off).

Take Note

As shopping editors, a lot of skincare comes across our desks, but we’ve recently been floored by Aramore. The brand’s products target anti-aging at the cellular level through its incorporation of NAD+, which means you can expect a restored skin barrier, increased cell production, and plumper skin in as little as a month (with consistent use). If you’re looking for a noninvasive way to improve fine lines, shop its Memorial Day sale from now until May 26. Save 25% sitewide and on our go-to serum treatment. Just make sure to use the code MEMDAY25 at checkout.
