It feels like we’ve discovered a new sale pretty much every day this week. The latest: Skims’ Biannual Sale. If you’ve been itching to try the viral brand or simply are a loyalist, now is the time to stock up. They’re doing markdowns on thousands of styles, including their popular loungewear. As the queen of pajama sets, my personal favorite is this pair of shorts with this tank. They’re soft, stretchy, and constantly in the wash because of how much I wear them.

Target Circle Week

Target Circle Week

Now until July 13, Circle members can get countless deals and gift cards back after spending in select categories.

Margo, here. IMHO, one of the most underrated loyalty programs is Target’s Circle program. I have the Target app on my phone, which makes it easy to find daily deals before I shop, and accrue cash back over time. To my pleasant surprise, this week is Target Circle Week, ending July 13. If you’re a Circle member (it’s free), discounts across categories including clothing, household essentials, beauty, and bedding will automatically apply at checkout. Plus, if you spend a certain amount in select categories, you’ll get a gift card back. Time to make a Target run just because.

All This and More by Peng Shepherd

All This and More by Peng Shepherd

  • The story: If you could go back in time and alter your life choices, would you? Marsh definitely would. The protagonist of Peng Shepherd’s stunningly inventive new novel is recently divorced, pursuing an uninspired career as a paralegal, and is approaching middle age saddled with regrets about the path her life has taken. Then she gets the chance to participate in a reality show called All This and More, in which players get to relive past events and make different choices — and alter their present memories to match — using quantum technology. The premise alone is wildly original, but Shepherd takes the immersiveness a step further by looping in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” format, wherein the reader can decide which path Marsh takes.

(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? Our Senior Editor shares the ultimate pick for those who are beverage obsessed:

Anthropologie Icon Glasses

“My coworker Abby alerted us to these Anthropologie Icon Juice Glasses in our team Slack chat, and I have never added an item to my cart so quickly. I’m a strong believer that a stylish vessel vastly improves the taste of whatever you’re eating or drinking out of it. These glasses prove that theory — even drinking plain seltzer out of these makes me feel like I’m treating myself. Plus, the quality is super impressive — they’re bigger than I’d expected and have an expensive-feeling weight to them. I ordered the Black Bow version for myself, and I’ll be getting the Mushrooms as a housewarming gift for my friend.” —Caroline G., 32, New York, NY
