EDITOR'S NOTE

We’re still in the thick of wedding season…and it’s not resting anytime soon. These are some of the small but mighty gifts I’ve been given that I actually use on a regular basis. Each of them look unique and expensive, and none exceed $160:

Some hefty everyday glasses for everything from an iced latte to a pint of beer.
A design-forward way they can frame mementos from their special day.
A modern vase that’ll make even a basic bunch from the grocery store feel fancy. Shoutout to my mom’s BFF for this one.
A bottle opener bound to spark some joy.
A set of four ceramic, no-frills bowls for oatmeal, pasta, girl dinner (err, I mean..married couple dinner?), you name it.

Anthropologie’s fall collection is officially here

And it’s got sweaters, suede, and tons of cozy dresses.

🍂 A faux suede shacket with fringe detailing. Wear it as a standalone top or over a tee.

🍂 A fall-friendly twofer dress that’ll make it look like you put in way more effort than you did.

🍂 A cashmere sweater tee for every situation. We love this one for its thick neckline.

🍂 An asymmetrical sweater dress. We’re planning on wearing it with heeled booties to the office.

Rails’ Labor Day sale is still going strong

Today’s the last day to save up to 30% off with code LDW2026.

Whatever you do, don’t forget about Rails. While you might know the brand to be a staple at most department stores, we highly rec shopping directly from the site for cute, yet elevated basics that’ll last for years. Our editor still wears a sweater she got six years ago, so use code LDW2026 at checkout for some future cost-per-wear that’s pretty unbeatable. Our picks? This neutral floral sweater and this crochet-trimmed jacket.

Today’s Must-Haves

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

Nair Prep & Smooth Face: Who needs to dermaplane when you have this?
FP Movement Champ Is Here Track Pants: We never felt more put-together in track pants until we tried these.
Martina Calvi’s Craft & Create: Part junk journaling guide, part coloring book.
