EDITOR'S NOTE

At this point, you guys know the drill. I spent another weekend in New York, and that meant my mom and I stocked up on the Uniqlo goodies we can’t get in the Southeast. One of my most important PSAs? My beloved fleece cardigan is back in time for fall, and now it comes in a chocolate brown shade (which I did buy).

Or, if you’re looking for a fleece that acts as a heavier outer layer, check out this one from Quince. It’s bound to sell out.

Dyson and Shark are both having Labor Day sales

Take advantage of the long weekend to stock up on big-ticket items.

Dyson: Save up to $350 off select tech. Our pick? This cordless vacuum and car-cleaning bundle.
