Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty sale — one of the year’s most highly anticipated shopping events — is back for fall, and the deals are better than ever before. From August 28 until September 17, there will be flash sales every day with 50% off different products, from makeup and skincare to hair and beauty tools. But here's the exciting twist: Alongside these daily 24-hour markdowns, the retailer is adding Weekly Beauty Steals, giving you an entire seven days to snag discounts on cult favorite products.

Lululemon knows a thing or two about creating viral belt bags, chic travel accessories, and conversation-starting tote bags. The R29 reader-favorite brand also knows how to do them especially well, with most bag styles receiving at least 4 out of 5 stars from thousands of devout customers. And there’s a whole lot of range and variety.

I'm a self-declared Gap girl, so I was super eager to preview GapStudio's fall collection, which launches today. The premium clothing line under Gap and Zac Posen's direction has entered its second fall season with a capsule of elevated denim, matching sets, workwear, and wardrobe essentials. "It’s a natural evolution of the language we’ve been building at GapStudio, but this season, we pushed proportion and construction much further," Posen tells Refinery29.

I've always had a penchant for frilly, awe-inducing things. That applies whether it's a ruffled baby doll dress or a twirl-worthy skirt. But right now, it's the Victorian-era inspired tops that are taking up space in my shopping cart. Think subtly sheer fabrics and volume-maxxing sleeves. Of course, dainty, statement blouses have always been a thing, but I think my newfound love for them started when Chemena Kamali made her debut at Chloé.

Fruity fragrances often get a reputation for being twee, but we promise this fall’s take on the category will have you thinking otherwise. While popular fruity notes typically skew tropical or berry-forward, there’s a new fruit in town this season: plum. The succulent stone fruit has the same juicy quality as peach, only with a darker, richer flavor profile that makes it especially well-suited to cooler weather.

Whether you're catching an early morning flight, running errands around town, or grabbing an iced matcha post-workout, the athlete off-duty aesthetic continues to dominate casually cool moments. It's the art of looking effortlessly put-together while leaning heavily into performance-worthy gear typically reserved for competitive jocks. The key to nailing it isn't just throwing on a pair of sweatpants.

R29 babes, September begins with a collective exhale because we made it through the final two eclipses of 2026, and Virgo Season is giving our nervous systems a chance to recalibrate after life has been life-ing. The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini on September 4th acts like a cosmic check-in one week after the Pisces lunar eclipse, helping us look at what changed with a little more perspective and a lot less emotional intensity.
