Sale PSA: A classic Patagonia sweater fleece, now 30% off (I’m obligated to recommend living in the Bay Area), a Vince satin silk top, now 40% off (I also like the matching pants, also 40% off) and a really cute swimsuit from Tularosa, now $70 (poke around if you’re looking for swim here – tons of great options)
