EDITOR'S NOTE

If you saw this mind-boggling interview with Steve Madden and immediately texted your friends, you’re not alone. Our team has basically been freaking out about it, which has caused an ongoing conversation about how the teen brand of our dreams is still going strong. Scroll on for some of our latest picks (that also happen to be under $100). I just bought another pair of the most comfortable heels of all time for my bridal era.

the daily steal
Rifle Paper Co. sale

Rifle Paper Co.’s Memorial Day Sale

Pro tip: The sale section’s where it’s at.

Tomorrow is the last day to shop Rifle Paper Co.’s Memorial Day Sale. While you can save up to 25% off sitewide, we personally think you should be hitting the sale section. It’s offering up to 50% off new items, and we can attest that this sale section is far from picked over. Stock up on these cottagecore placemats, some stemless double-walled wineglasses, and this $9 grocery notepad. Plus, use code FREESHIP for free shipping on all orders.

Three Totally Random Things

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

Dieux Ethereal Cleansing Oil

Take Note

FP Movement matching sets

Margo here. I might be late to the game, but I recently discovered the ease of wearing a coordinated workout set during busy travel days. I did this recently on a trip to Charleston, and it made all the difference in feeling both comfortable and confident. If you’re also managing lots of travel coming up, here are some FP Movement pieces I’m eyeing:
