The article currently swarming my group chats? This one about why sundresses are suddenly so expensive. Because we want to feel cute and be responsible adults, today we're giving you two dress options (at different price points) so you can figure out which one is worth it for you. PSA: There’s no right answer.

Jisulife’s 3-in-1 Hand Fan
For long days spent outside.
This handheld fan from Amazon. We love a hacky product, and we’ll be keeping this compact device in our beach bags all season long. It doubles as a portable charger and a flashlight and we love that it’s rechargeable. You can get nearly a whole day’s use out of one single charge.

“Lies and Weddings” by Kevin Kwan
The story: What's a trust fund baby to do when he discovers that his money is depleted after decades of extravagant spending? In the eyes of his overbearing mother, the solution is to find a wealthy wife….at the luxury resort where his sister's wedding is taking place. There, he's presented with three contenders — a hotel heiress, a venture capitalist, and the daughter of a doctor — and pressed to make the age-old choice: marry for money or love? Oh, and did we mention there’s also a murder? If you’ve missed the twists, laughs, and jetsetting of Kevin Kwan's glamorous novels, check this one out immediately. IOHO, it isn’t summer without him.

(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 tea concentrate for at-home lattes:
“I’m a huge fan of London Fogs (aka delicious Earl Grey lattes) from Starbucks or any good cafe. This year, I've been working on budgeting more and bring my own beverages to work with me. I saw Rishi’s Organic London Fog Concentrate in my neighborhood Whole Foods and was immediately excited. It's $25.50 for three 32-ounce cartons on Amazon. It isn't quite a need, but my morning latte brings a little extra joy to the start of my day.” —Kristina P., 34, Washington, D.C.
