Getting dressed in the morning can be a total slog — even for style writer Frances Solá-Santiago. One thing that’s helped? This wardrobe cataloging app. It organizes her 200 pieces of clothing and accessories into in an Instagram-like feed that she can sort by category, season, color, and more. (If it sounds similar to Cher Horowitz’s robo-closet in Clueless, that’s because it is.)

“I can tell you that my mornings have transformed from angst-filled chaos to calm, organized bliss,” says Frances. “And my closet no longer intimidates me.”

These colorful porcelain coasters are pleasantly smooth and heavy enough that they won’t be knocked around by accident. And the coastal designs — a coral reef, a cheerful sun, a sailboat — make them ideal for summertime entertaining.

Frances swears by this timeless cotton crewneck tee for its boxy-yet-shaping silhouette. It looks great tucked or untucked, feels soft and thick to the touch, and can withstand multiple back-to-back wears in a week. A winning combo.
