For the One That Loves Self-Care

Spa Adolphus

Offering a special “Countdown to the Aisle” package, this place is just calling your bride’s name. Be sure to check the deals and give it to her in plenty of time so she can take full advantage before she becomes a Mrs. (And after her spa day, we’ve got tips on keeping that glow up until the big day.)

For the One That Stays at Home

Monrow Pullover and Jogger Pants

Get her something she can do everything in. This waffle-knit set from Monrow is available starting November 15. The definition of comfort, snag it now while you still can. The pieces can be purchased together or separate—In the top, purchase a size up for a longer fit, but in the pants, purchase a size smaller for a more fitted look.

Esther Penn Varsity Set

For the gals who like to sport shorts and sweatshirts together during the fall, this is the set for them. Fit for errands, brunch, or getting work done on the couch, you can buy the pieces separately, and we recommend staying true to size. BTW, this store will get in more sets throughout the season, so keep up with ‘em on Instagram @esther_penn.
