EDITOR'S NOTE
Today we have Steph Chen, founder of Anyday, here to talk about her cookware line. It’s the ultimate problem-solver because it essentially eliminates the need for stovetop cooking. And while microwave cooking may feel taboo, it’s quick, efficient, and a 100% valid way to put a meal on the table. You can read our full review of the brand here, but scroll on to hear about Steph’s go-to products and recipes.

Splurge vs Save
Today’s showdown: two striped sweaters with stylish silhouettes:
The Splurge: La Ligne’s Marina Sweater ($295+)
Buy it if sweaters are a part of your fall/winter uniform or you’re looking for unique colorways.
Skip it if you get hot easily or are sensitive to wool.
Three Totally Random Things
Check out three totally random bestsellers Skimm’rs are loving this week:
Dr. Idriss’ Soft Wash Jelly Cleanser
It’s gentle, effective, and has the same cleansing agents contained in contact solution. Later, burning eyes.
Béis’ Commuter Duffle Bag
Our favorite details: endless pockets and the luggage sleeve.
Dolce Vita’s Annika Pointed Toe Boot
Andy Sachs in a shoe. Need we say more?
Madewell’s The Mini Bag in Ecru
A chain-link detailed bag under $90.
At Skimm Shopping, our editors are thinking about fall fashion effective immediately. In the spirit of never gatekeeping, allow us to put this Madewell Mini Bag on your radar. It’s giving vintage Coach energy at a fraction of the cost, but with updated chain-link detailing. It’s made of smooth leather, has ample room for your essentials, and even has a zippered closure to keep everything safe. Did we mention it’s $88? Buy it before it sells out. We have an inkling it will.
(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? A noteworthy swap for a Stanley cup:
“This water bottle has changed the way I drink water. I had a Stanley but it constantly leaked, was a pain to lug around, and didn't fit into the cup holder in my car. This one doesn't leak and is much more manageable, plus it fits inside said cup holder. It keeps my water cold and I love its sunny color! ” —Nicolle S., 52, Truckee, CA
