My ideal night includes a perfectly curated playlist, a sweet treat, and a little bit of online shopping. While this is unfortunately not a regular occurrence, one thing that remains consistent in my nighttime routine is a burning hot laptop and more browser tabs than necessary. (You say I’m impulse shopping, I say I’m working late.) As we transition into a new season, I tend to spend more time perusing my favorite sites for inspiration. How else can I keep up with the trends? Leopard print! Satin! Rugby shirts! The trend cycle is changing fast, and while I don’t endorse buying into every single trend that catches your eye, it’s fun to indulge in the occasional buy.

New Yorkers have coined the term “pre-fall,” which is that in-between season when it feels chilly but we all know temperatures will rise again before the end of the week. I’ve spent the majority of pre-fall scoring some of my best fall pieces yet (and making the conscious decision not to buy all the items I send in the group chat). To make these 1 a.m. shopping sessions feel a bit more productive, I’m sharing the gems I’ve found with you below. You can thank me later—for now, take a look at the pieces that have been keeping my screen time high and my precious hours of beauty rest low.
