[This Weekend's Best Online Sales](#)
If you didnât scratch your get-more-for-less itch last weekend with the tidal wave of spring sales around Memorial Day, you didnât miss much â a ton of these sales are still going strong.
Youâll find designer markdowns everywhere: From luxury e-commerce sites like [Net-a-Porter](, [Moda Operandi](, and [Farfetch]( to the spring sales popping up at indie boutiques and individual brand sites, it kind of still feels like the whole internet is on sale. (No, seriously â pick a website and go there, because thereâs probably a sale.)
If you need a little help pointing the compass, weâve listed the best sales below, with some suggestions for exactly what to snag, too. â[Tanisha Pina](, associate market editor

[Aritzia Bodel T-Shirt ($20)](
[Net-a-Porter](: Take up to 50% off select items. Net-a-Porterâs spring sale just launched last week, and there are pages and pages and pages of markdowns. We picked out a few items for you [here](.
[Farfetch](: Take 50% off or more on spring items. Farfetch sells designer products from dozens of chic boutiques across the globe, so youâre likely to find some very cool pieces for cheap. (Chloé pumps for [half-off](? Sure, why not!)
[Tibi](: Take 50% off resort 2017 and select items from spring 2017. This sale only happens twice a year; you can snag a few of the brandâs simple, elegant pieces for under $200, like this [ruffled halter top]( (now $133).
[Moda Operandi](: Take 60% off select items (yep, thatâs 10% more than last week). The retailer continues to refresh the sale section with new items, so even if youâve already scoped this one, itâs worth scoping again.
[Steven Alan](: Take an extra 40% off sale items. If youâre a fan of the designer, now is the time to buy. You can snag wintry things for extra cheap, but there are some summer pieces too, like this [lovely cross-back jumpsuit]( (now $145).
[Aritzia](: Take up to 50% off summer items. The most steeply discounted section is filled with sweaters and jackets... but also lots of summery tops, like [this off-shoulder one]( for $20.
[Nordstrom](: Take up to 40% off spring items. This twice-yearly sale features over 200 pages of designer markdowns.
[Goop](: Up to 40% off select items. Everything is still pretty (okay, very) expensive, but everything is also so lovely. There are a few almost affordable finds, like this pink color-blocked [Araks bikini](.
[Opening Ceremony](: Up to 50% off select items. So! Much! Cool! Stuff! Iâm dying over these [Mari Giudicelli mules](, but a practical buy would be one of the many colorful pairs of Vans or Converse that are [in the mix]( at the moment.
[The Dreslyn](: Take up to 50% off spring items. Thereâs a lot lot lot lot to want here, from swimsuits to basic tees and tank tops to really pretty jewelry, like these [gold loop earrings]( by Lizzie Fortunato and this [cool ring]( by Pamela Love.
[Eloquii](: Take 40% off dresses and tops with code SHOPEJUNE. This is a clutch deal for anyone heading to a summer wedding who happens to be size 14 through 28, which probably translates to, like, half the women in the country.

What Are Brands Going to Do About Climate Change?
Yesterday, President Trump announced his intention to [withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord](, a pact signed in 2015 by 195 countries rallying to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Under President Obama, the US pledged to reduce its own emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, and give $3 billion to a climate fund benefiting poorer nations.
Itâs the current presidentâs view that adhering to the agreement would result in sweeping industrial job losses, though economists and executives at companies like Apple and Unilever [contend]( that investing in the renewable energy sector would in fact create jobs. Indeed, it didnât take long for [business leaders](, [politicians](, and brands to start speaking out against Trumpâs plan and reaffirm their commitment to the goals set out in the Paris agreement.
âWe are deeply disappointed by the recent shift in climate policy,â Nike said in a [statement](. âWe will continue to honor the core commitments of the American Business Act on Climate Change Pledge, including reaching 100% renewable energy in all Nike owned or operated facilities around the world by 2025, participating in the US Department of Energyâs Better Buildings Challenge and advancing materials innovation globally.â
âSustainability has always been part of our DNA: itâs integral to how we live and work and is essential to our environment. As a business leader concerned with creating American jobs, I disagree with the decision to exit the Paris Accord,â [said]( Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank.
âAmazon continues to support the Paris climate agreement and action on climate change,â Amazon [tweeted](. Vivienne Westwood, a longtime advocate of fighting climate change, [tore into]( Trumpâs environmental stance on British television.
Itâs worth noting that the global apparel industry remains an undeniably resource-intensive system, though itâs difficult to quantify [just how bad it is]( for the environment. Elsewhere in the business world, companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft [have stated]( their opposition to Trumpâs climate change stance. Michael Bloomberg, the businessman and former New York City mayor, has [offered the United Nations as much as $15 million]( to make up for the climate change funding it could lose from Washington.
Despite the presidentâs plan to renegotiate US participation in the accord, leaders of Germany, France, and Italy [say the agreement is irreversible](. â[Eliza Brooke](, senior reporter

[Facebook Wants Me to Dress Like âThe Handmaid's Taleâ](
[Still from the show](
I am not immune to wanting to âget the lookâ from a television show. I will confess to researching Audrey Horneâs classic tapered sweaters from Twin Peaks, deciding to power clash thanks to Sharon Horganâs unimpeachable patterns on Catastrophe, and watching the first two minutes of a Khaleesi hair tutorial before realizing that, nope, I was woefully out of my depth. But the dour visual landscape of Margaret Atwoodâs pioneering 1985 novel The Handmaidâs Tale, while classic dystopian fare, has always remained at a reassuring remove: heightened, eerie, and unshoppable.
That is, until 2017 â when I'm scrolling through my Facebook feed and I am served an advertisement for a [floor-length Moroccan blue belted maxi dress]( that looks disturbingly similar to the [mandatory uniform]( that the fundamentalist Christian wives of Gilead wear in the current Hulu adaptation of The Handmaidâs Tale. This is a dystopia where a class of women are forbidden to read, stripped of their names, and raped in a monthly religious ceremony in the hopes that they breed future generations of true believers â and, yes, each caste of women is designated a color-coded wardrobe.
âWhat is this Serena Joy lewk?â I post incredulously, with a link to the ensemble from online retailer eShakti. The dress has an A-line silhouette and Virgin Mary hue that is close enough to the pious and domineering commanderâs wife, Serena Joy, that I feel queasy. Within a week, Facebook pushes a [garnet ruched-waist maxi dress]( thatâs a dead ringer for the eye-catching, [iconic Handmaidâs dress]( like that of the main character, Offred. The algorithms-that-be had decided that if I were in the company of headlines of compromised elections, missile tests, and thwarted government agencies, it was time I dressed for a dystopia.
