Friends! I’m going to cut to the chase: It’s sale season and I’ve got the shoppies really badly. Between the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and the Net-a-Porter, Ssense, and MyTheresa sales, I am feeling spendy. Since we’ve been doing this thing for almost two years now, I can confidently say that this is a judgement-free zone. So ahead, I’m going to share some things I’ve picked up, other items I have my eye on, and a few fall finds I’m bookmarking for later in the year.

HIGH SUMMER VACATION GEAR:

I’m off to Puerto Rico in August (manifesting Bad Bunny tickets!!!) and I am so, so excited. I generally do not believe in shopping purely for vacay, but something has taken over me and I can’t help myself. I’m justifying these purchases by doubling down on really great pieces I know I’ll wear for many summers to come.

BOOKMARKED FINDS FOR FALL:

It’s never too early to start considering some pieces you may want to pick up now and wear in a few months, right?

THINGS TO WEAR TO WORK:

I’ve lamented enough about getting dressed for work during the summer. Pure and simple: If you live in New York, it absolutely sucks. Schlepping in 90 degree weather only to be met with blasting AC once you arrive at the office—absolutely brutal. But I’ve found that these outfit ingredients make putting together a look much easier.

WISH-LIST ITEMS:

These finds will follow me around from browser to browser for the foreseeable future.
