The fashion deals are flowing this week, and we have guides to shop them all smartly: Lands’ End, Nordstrom, Popflex, Reformation, and Zara. For accessories, Baggu’s sale is great; and Old Navy is a really good place to shop for back-to-school fits. It’s also an ideal time to buy boring stuff like laundry stain remover, notebooks, and humidifiers.

As always, make sure to sign up for the Strategist Deal Freaks Daily newsletter to receive each day’s best deals in your inbox (including sales just for newsletter subscribers). And if you want even more, sign up for our regular email newsletter for tons more newsletter exclusives.

The Strategist Womenswear Hall of Fame dropped yesterday, so naturally I checked to see which of the (many) nice basics were on sale. Gap and Lands’ End are always sure bets; grab our favorite tanks and UPF tops for now and best turtleneck and sweatpants for the fall.

I spent some time earlier this week rounding up all the best things in Nordstrom’s sale section. The greatest number of deals is in the women’s section, though color and size availability can vary greatly. My top picks: light-wash Levi’s for 60 percent off, a Reformation pajama set (that’s at an even better discount than the brand’s own summer sale), and organic-cotton undies.

Tonymoly’s I’m Rice face polish is a great inexpensive exfoliator. It comes in a powder form and is activated with water to create a gel-like consistency. “After about a week of consistent use, I noticed my skin felt smoother and looked brighter,” says writer Arielle Avila.

Nurse injector Vanessa Lee told us this sunscreen stick is one of her favorite drugstore buys. “This formula has vitamin E, and it glides on so easily without a greasy feel,” she says. “You get this cooling effect on the skin. It almost feels like when you put on aloe after a sunburn. It’s so pleasant, and it makes you look forward to reapplying, where the other ones kind of feel like a drag to reapply.”

This blackout mask from MyHalos is one of our best tricks for getting a good night’s sleep, even in a dorm. We learned about it from comedian Nikki Glaser, who likes to wear it on planes. “Masks are the No. 1 essential thing in my life,” she says. “I’ve tried every sleep mask. I have hundreds of them; I try new ones all the time. And this one I’ve been committed to for a year now. I buy it for all of my friends who have trouble sleeping.”

Ritual is offering 40 percent off sitewide. The brand’s multivitamins are among our favorites, especially because you can put them on a set-it-and-forget-it subscription.

Lead editor Lauren Levy says this stain-remover spray is her “laundry holy grail.” She spritzes a little on offending marks, soaks the item in a little water, and it gets rid of nearly everything. “Cherries! Mustard! My 3-year-old gets regular overnight nosebleeds, and I promise you would literally think his sheets are brand-new,” she writes. We’ve also previously recommended this stain remover as the key to cleaning underwear; it’s made with a mix of three enzymes, so it easily tackles starch stains, protein stains (including blood), and oil stains.

All Lola blankets are 50 percent off with the code STRATEGIST50 through Wednesday night. Writer Bella Druckman says they’re silky and truly as soft as they look but don’t shed. The signature “gelato-case-display-like folds” come from spandex (most blankets are made of just polyester), which also lets the blanket “stretch when it cocoons you, making it feel even more like a hug,” she says.
