EDITOR'S NOTE

We’ve talked a lot about brand comebacks in the last six months. The latest (and equally shocking) one? Lands’ End. I just bought this $40 tote bag for upcoming summer travel, and I like that it isn’t as stiff as L.L.Bean’s Boat and Tote. Not to mention, Lands’ End is pretty much always having a sale (right now, it’s offering up to 60% off select styles sitewide). Call me crazy, but I’m currently eyeing:

• A scalloped sweater tank with Dôen vibes.

• This striped tee that’s on sale.

• A gauzy tiered mini dress to wear on its own or as a cover-up.

• This off-the-shoulder dress that looks like Aritzia.

We stand by the fact that The Honest Company's baby-friendly body-care is equally as good for adults. In fact, our editor has used up countless bottles of this calming bodywash because it’s inexpensive, safe enough for her eczema-prone skin, and smells like a spa. From now until May 11, save 20% off select skincare and baby personal care products, excluding bundles. The deal will automatically apply to your cart.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

Petite Plume Pima Short-Sleeve Short Set

A breathable set that looks as good as it feels.

Grilled Cheese Warmies

Our latest emotional support buy that’s Jellycat-adjacent.

Strapsicle’s Gingham Collection

The cutest summery upgrade for your Kindle (that’s also practical).

Take Note

Warmer weather means more time spent with a beverage in hand. Our latest obsession: These THC-based seltzers from Delta Beverage that provide a subtle buzz you won’t feel the next day. They have three different options in 5, 10, and 20 mg, though if you’re new to drinking a THC-based seltzer, 5 mg is an ideal place to start. Whether you’re looking for a nonalcoholic option or want to carve out a moment of relaxation for yourself, check out our latest favorites (that we also think would make great gifts for Mother’s Day):

• A tropical mango seltzer if you’re obsessed with those peeler gummies going viral.

• One that reminds us of Sour Patch Watermelons.

• Classic lime seltzer if you like to keep it simple.

Reads

Spicy romance book experts told us what to read this summer

We trust 831 Stories founders Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo’s reading recs like our lives depend on it, and you should too. Here are some of the new steamy reads they told us to pick up this summer:

• Square Waves by Alexandra Romanoff. It’s just a little over 200 pages and is a sequel to 831 Stories’ first book ever, Big Fan.

• Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan. A sensual romance that’s also Abby Jimenez-approved.

• How to Fake It in Hollywood by Ava Wilder. If that classic fake dating trope is your jam.
