If you’ve got any brunch plans or just want something comfortable to throw on when the weather’s nice, this dress could be it. The light floral print and soft ruffled sleeves make it feel laid-back but still beautiful. It was originally $84, which makes the current price feel even better.

These Versace Medusa Shield Sunglasses make stepping out in style a lot easier on the wallet. Normally $278, they’re marked down to $99.97. The frame feels bold without being heavy, and that gold Medusa detail? Just the right amount of luxury without going overboard.

Lancome Advanced Genifique Serum – $60.00

Not every serum needs to be a miracle worker. Some, like Lancome Advanced Genifique, just get the basics right: smooth application, healthy glow, no greasy aftermath. Works across skin types, so you don’t have to overthink it. Plus, at $60 instead of $90, it’s the kind of “small win” you’ll happily stash on your shelf.

This is one of those kits you might want to keep on hand for when the week feels overwhelming. There are bath bombs and lotions, along with the little things that make a quiet evening feel nicer.

Originally priced at $75, this is quite a steal.
Maggy London Ruched Midi Dress – $59.97

The length also falls just below the knees, making it easy to dress up.
