thanks, i found it on phia 🕵️♀️
ALSO INSIDE: ofc we have to talk about the Abercrombie sale, the cutest rolled scarf bracelet, and more
Happy Friday, my friends! We’re just about hitting the time where I hope you’re reading this with an Aperol Spritz or a glass of wine or some lovely little bevvie in your hand on an outdoor patio!
And today, we are CELEBRATING! As I mentioned,
, , the amazing team over at have launched their site publicly!!! I am a HUGE fan, and I wanted to show you all why I love it.First, a quick rundown: Phia is a browser extension that you can download here that will pop up whenever you’re viewing an item online (which, for me and, I’m guessing, for you, is roughly 1000x a day) and give you a status on whether or not you’re getting a good price AND if you can thrift that exact item or something very similar.
Here’s what the price breakdown looks like (on this Motel Rocks dress, which I now know is a steal!):
And here’s what looking at your options looks like – in this case, I saw that there was the exact Aritzia dress that I was looking for available on Poshmark for more than $100 less.
As you can see, it’s SO HELPFUL. And I made a lil
collage with some of my favorite recent Phia finds, all of which are $100 or less.Some stand-outs for me:
The Sam Edelman flower heels in both pink + green and yellow for $78!!!
That gorgeous half-straw, half-leather shoulder purse for $28
The Ralph Lauren (!!) striped tube top in Size L for $35
Full list is here! And hope you all enjoy Phia as much as I do :) They also sent me a GORGEOUS crewneck that I WILL want to show y’all as soon as my schedule is less of a disaster, and I have a moment at home!
Now onto more good stuff!

1. The Ava Top from Abercrombie, $32 (sale)
You didn’t think we’d miss the Abercrombie sale did you???? Also, can personally confirm that this top is wildly flattering!
2. Marina One-Piece Swimsuit from Abercrombie, $56 (sale)
If someone is going eurotripping or on any type of cute beach vacation, I am literally begging!!!
3. Low-Back Tee from Madewell, $58
I saw this on a girl on TikTok and it looked SO GOOD I literally Google reverse image searched to find it lol.
4. The Camren Mini Bag from Madewell, $75 (sale)
Ok, the sale energy must be high this weekend because Madewell is apparently also doing one with their bags and accessories.

2. For Love & Lemons Muna Cover-Up Shorts from Nuuly @ Free People, Sizes XS + S, $30

Ok, I’m really enjoying the rolled scarf bracelets and feel like they’re going to be big this summer (and this small biz has a bunch of good ones).

Yet another reminder of why we love you, Harry Styles.
In case you are also considering Nuuly… here’s a link! Sneak peek of my review: so far, it’s been really, really great – only one item wasn’t a slay.
The most-clicked links from the last ATSC are:
The comfiest knit pants from Uniqlo for $30 (can confirm my mom is obsessed with these too)
The farmers market shorts that I might have to snag a pair of… for $46
The Skims boyfriend pants which I can also personally confirm are ridiculously comfy for $58
