Ann Taylor Semiannual Sale

The retailer extended their semiannual sale for an extra day.

Today is the last day of Ann Taylor’s Semiannual Sale. If you’re looking to stock up on officewear essentials or elevated basics for any events you have coming up, shop now. After today, head to the sale section for an extra 60% off sale styles.

"We Could Be Rats" by Emily Austin

We Could Be Rats by Emily Austin

  • The story: Sigrid and Margit are estranged sisters that could not be more different. Sigrid works at a dollar store and refuses to conventionally “grow up.” Margit can’t understand why her sister won’t conform. When Sigrid navigates a mental health emergency, the two sisters reconnect, and as they do, they unpack everything in their childhood that got them to this point. It’s a love letter to sisterhood we’re keeping in our TBR stack for February.

TW: This book has mentions of suicide.
