EDITOR'S NOTE

When I’m back in New York, one of my nonnegotiables is to do a quick Uniqlo restock. As you probably know by now, the basics are affordable, cute, and surprisingly stylish, so it’s the one chain retailer I miss living in the southeast. Here’s everything I bought on my recent trip while in the city:

• What I’m considering to be my all-time favorite non-denim shorts. I grabbed this neutral striped pair and a couple solids. They have an elastic waistband, an internal drawstring, and are under $30.

• This linen top that I’m planning to wear with said shorts.

• A racerback tank top that has a built-in shelf bra with cups.

• A ruffled, shirred midi dress for the days when it’s too hot to get dressed.

In the event that you do want to shop designer, we’re pointing you to Net-a-Porter’s sale section. It’s offering up to 60% off thousands of styles and there’s even a stackable promo code, FLASH15, right now. We’re eyeing this Hunza G one-piece, these cream carpenter jeans from Mother, and a heat-friendly Tory Burch dress that’s over $200 off.

Today’s Must-Haves

Here are three of the hottest products on the internet this week:

• Zenagen Zenergy Thickening + Volumizing Shampoo: It’ll provide volume and support a healthy scalp environment without the sticky residue. Use code SKIMM20 at checkout.

• Daphne’s The Hannah Tee: This one goes out to all the Paige DeSorbo loyalists. We’re with you.

• Speks Pivot: Our editor is keeping this silicone “flexagon” on hand while she takes calls.
