EDITOR'S NOTE
I finally retired my crochet Uniqlo belt bag and am currently on the hunt for a fall bag that isn’t too pricey. I’m looking for something spacious, versatile, and is a little more stylish than a basic canvas tote. Here are some options currently sitting in my cart:
A shoulder bag from Vera Bradley (which is making a comeback)
L.L.Bean’s classic silhouette, but smaller
Also, I might be burying the lede, but the queen of goat cheese balls, Stassi Schroeder, is here to Skimm Her Life.

Speks Geode Magnetic Fidget Set
One of our favorite fidget toys is 20% off with code SKIMM20.
We’ve raved about Speks for months now, particularly for their discrete, yet addictive fidget toys for adults. They’ve helped us work through anxious moments and cut back on screen time. For the next three days, their Geode is 20% off with code SKIMM20. It’s a bunch of pentagon-shaped magnets that can be pieced together to create shapes, held, or crushed. Keep them in your bag or at your desk as a stress-relieving companion.

Big Fan by Alexandra Romanoff
The story: A political strategist (whose reputation is on the line after her ex’s sex scandal) helps the lead singer of a One Direction-esque band make a comeback. The twist? He happens to be her ultimate celebrity crush. If you’re in a book rut, pick this up. It’s steamy, just under 180 pages, and reads like TV.
