EDITOR'S NOTE
I feel very in-between seasons right now. I’m noticing the pull of fall, but I like to delay my gratification, so I’m not digging out my pumpkin candles just yet. If you’re a little torn as well, these are the items holding me over until the season actually changes, and I can really go all in on autumn:
A woodsy candle by one of my new favorite brands.
A speckled throw pillow to get my couch ready for cozy season.
A long-sleeve tee perfect for wearing with bike shorts.
A fresh phone case (the only one I trust).

The boatneck Gap tee taking the internet by storm
It’s a dupe for the expensive tee beloved by celebrities.
We’ve seen everyone from Hailey Bieber to Sabrina Carpenter wear Cou Cou Intimates’ Rina tee. And while it’s a cute take on a boatneck tee, it’s hard to justify the $68 price. That said, our editors were pretty elated when we saw that Gap makes a nearly identical version. Just like the original, it has a boatneck silhouette, pointelle detailing at the sleeves, and a curved hemline. The only major difference? The Gap version is also made with modal and elastane, which’ll provide some extra stretch.
Today’s Must-Haves
Here are three of the hottest products on the internet this week:

Fit + Fresh Lunch Bag: It has dual compartments and a slot for your water bottle. Bonus points for the food containers it comes with.
Beekeeper’s Naturals Saline Nasal Spray Max: Keeping this Amazon find on hand going into the cooler months.
We The Free Cute In This Cardi: Throw this chunky cardigan over a jeans and tee, and your outfit is done.
(Not So) Silly Little Treat
In our series (Not So) Silly Little Treat, Skimm’rs share the joy-sparking products they’re buying during the week. Today’s submission? An expensive-looking hair clip with a Walmart budget:
“I plan to wear this statement clip this fall, because I love how the navy makes the horse motif stand out. It gives that Ralph Lauren classic vibe, but with a Walmart budget. I saw this clip when I was looking for a brown suede skirt, and then styled this clip with it. It’s the perfect accessory to some of my more preppy fall outfits.” —Stacey Z., 51, Chicago, IL
