Anyone else counting down the days until September with baited breath? I’ve seen the term “False Fall” thrown around, and yep — that’s exactly where we are. So even though I’m in a sweater state of mind… I’m still reaching for tees and tanks these days. Laura recently featured this cute graphic tank (now on sale at Saks!) and it’s just the mood-booster I need to carry me through the next few weeks; perfect for transitioning seasons, too, with a light jacket that can slip on/off for cooler mornings and warm afternoons.
The 5 Best Sales This Weekend
- Gap – Take 30% off orders $99+. Amy loves the silhouette of these denim trousers from the DOEN collab and Em’s been reaching for these barrel jeans on the daily.
- Nordstrom Rack – Top picks include: these Seychelles clogs are under $35 (yes, you read that right), Rails’ 100% silk striped button-up shirt (under $100) and this Rebecca Minkoff mini tote crossbody bag (60% off).
- Reformation – 50% off sale! Sizes are going fast, so snap up this luxe cashmere cardigan while you can; we’re also big fans of the Mason trousers (under $100), pretty midi dresses like this one, and their denim skirts (under $75).
- Stanley – Just ordered this for a friend who’s big into hiking/camping — easy coffee/soup on-the-go! Use code TME20 for a special 20% off!
- Walmart – 50% off Walmart+ membership for students (offer ends 9/13). If you have a college-bound kiddo heading back to campus this fall, students get free delivery, shipping, Paramount+ streaming, and more perks for $49/year. Worth it for emergency snack re-stocks alone!

Hello, everyone! It’s been a minute–I just got back from a ridiculously amazing boat trip to Greece/Turkey with the family and school is now right around the corner. This summer absolutely flew by…I’m so not ready for fall yet. I’m already seeing Thanksgiving decor in stores…like, whaaaat? Let us enjoy the last few days of summer!
In sale news, J. Crew’s swim is up to 70% off (this suit is adorable), my go-to eye shadow sticks are on sale (they’re the easiest, quickest way to do eyes) and I’m also loving this long necklace that’s 25% off right now.
Happy weekend!
Jeans (27), sweater (s), boots | jeans (28)
ONE: The J.Crew jeans that NEVER go on sale (and I know, because I check every. single. weekly sales report.) are finally on sale! I’m not kidding when I say I get compliments on these every time I wear them — and they come in three different lengths for the perfect fit. (The cashmere sweater and boots I’m wearing are also on sale!)
TWO: These PAIGE jeans are selling out quickly because they’re 60% off… snag them while you can! Also wearing: bodysuit (m, also in floral print) | bag

Well, if this didn’t feel like the longest. week. ever. No? Anyone else? Chris and I both agreed that, by Monday evening, it fully felt like Thursday. So yeah. Happy Finally Friday! I’m helping in the wee one’s class today (YES, did we talk about the fact that Elle is in the cutest little 2-year-old preschool program there ever was? my heart…), so keeping this super short.
Annoyingly, this is pre-order only, but it’s absurdly gorgeous and would be such a pretty layer under blazers, lady jackets, or just with trousers for date night. Maybe with these, even – equal parts edgy and French. And that little travel steamer that’s been indispensable of late (I don’t…own…an iron) is $18 with a sale discount and a promo code. All good things.
Amy called it. (No one is surprised.) These are the only jeans I’ve reached for this week, then I washed them after 4 days of wear — only because I spilled my matcha on them — and wore them fresh outta the wash again. So yeah. GOOD. I’d throw the black pair in my cart, too, to get the promo. They’re 100% cotton so they’ll stretch some over time, but I sized up for slouch. Also wearing: top | flats (TTS)

Gap’s home page is the kind of energy I need on this Friday (make sure you have their little volume button turned up!). I’ve always said that in another life I would have been a dancer, doing funky dances like that on Gap’s website (and touring the world on The Eras Tour, naturally) and I get so excited by seeing fun + unique choreography like that. I’m taking their “…get loose means just ridding yourself of all the pressure you normally put on yourself” sentiment into the weekend and giving myself permission to CHILL before we head into a back-to-school schedule.
I think big sales are quiet for a moment before we hit Labor Day promos, but there’s a few key gems I dug up: the famous boots that have been on my wishlist since last rainy season (and literally were sitting in my cart for the past few weeks) are 25% off, plus the St. Tropez crewneck we’ve all been eyeing up is also, finally, 25% off (also on sale here – or GASP an even better discount is here!).
ONE: I’ve hesitated trying these jeans for months because there are no inseam options and I was convinced they wouldn’t work on my frame… I mean, the model has them sitting super low to achieve a normal length, and these are considered a high rise jean (LOL). While I was right, they don’t hit me long at the top of the foot, something about the crop length with the large leg silhouette is AMAZING. These are super lightweight and have the most flattering waistband that, combined with the wide leg, makes it appear as though I have a waistline?! IDK. But I DO know these are 30% off this weekend and if you, too, have been curious…this is your sign to do it.
TWO: I’m maybe most excited about this mockneck waffle-knit top for Fall… it’s available in the actual perfect seasonal colors, and 30% off when you spend $99+.

Hey, Friday! Welp, school starts next Tuesday I guess that means the official/unofficial end of summer. I’m hoping for a lazily long summer…I ’m not done with this weather yet! This is typically my time of year to get in gear around the house and I’ve started a decluttering project. So far I’ve cleared stuff off the fridge (I had no idea that would be so rewarding) and most of the bathrooms are done. It even spurred my tween to work on her room. I know. Magical. Obviously I love that my kid is going back to school soon, but I also love the energy this time of year.
Salessss. I’m still a fan of what Gap has going on right now. This soft looking denim shirt on sale would be a good compliment to the more structured one I’ve been living in lately. And while I do love my giant Stanley 40oz Quenchers, this 30oz Iceflow Flip Straw Tumbler has been my new BFF. It’s got a top carry handle and is just a more manageable size for going to barre3, adventuring, etc. But it still has a straw, which is a must for me. (Use code TME20 to get 20% off this guy!). Oh, and our team fav striped linen pants are just $44 right now down from $60. Been living in those, too (I used this little quick-hem tool from Amazon.)
Cargo Pants (M)
I’ve been living in these soft, comfy, cool cargo pants for the past 2 months. And they’re on sale in some other pretty shades for under $50 at Nordstrom! They adjust at the waist and ankles, and are made of a soft, cotton-y material that is so great to wear. I’ve worn them on the plane, horseback riding in Aspen and running errands — they feel on-trend, but not fussy. LOVE.

Greetings from Sky Valley, GA! Jon and I drove 13 hours to spend a week or so with my parents in the Smoky Mountains. It is so beautiful up here. This is our second year doing this and it’s been a highlight of our year. It’s so restful and peaceful, and there is so much natural beauty to soak in. Jon and I are on a waterfall trail hunt — we’ve been to three so far — and tomorrow, we’re hitting up two of the local flea markets. I am unbelievably excited to get my hand on some fun lil’ vintage knick knacks!
A denim trench is one of the pieces I most want for my fall and winter wardrobe, and I’m obsessed with this on at Gap (30% off at checkout). Definitely buying that one today. Also, I’ve had my eye on the Ganni dupe slingbacks by Steve Madden for so long and they are finally on sale! I am currently deciding between the white pair or the denim pair.
Jeans (29, Run Small)
I absolutely love these MOTHER jeans and they’re a staggering 50% off at Revolve right now! The dark blue denim is perfect for fall and winter styling, and, as always, I can’t resist the unique carpenter-esque seaming on the thighs. They don’t have much give to them so I ordered a size up from my usual, and they fit perfectly.
Xo,
Team TME
