My Amazon IT list of what I'm feeling and loving right now. That prime gets me everytime. Here are the fashion, accessory and other random items I recommend:
Cute totes and purses for summer are great to find for cheaper on Amazon! I love this round wicker purse for under $30, this popular bamboo tote and this black/white stripe beach tote for under $25.
All the things you need for summer at the pool or beach are on Amazon! My favorite sunscreen, this cute and flattering strapless swimsuit, these birkenstock knock-off and waterproof slip on sandals, and a lace swimsuit coverup that can double as a summer layer to an outfit (worn here).
I get a lot of my everyday hair tools and products, as well as fun trendy pieces from Amazon. I have been using this hot tools curling iron for 10+ years. It's inexpensive and works like a charm. And I use these crocodile clips to keep pieces of hair back while I style my hair.
I am loving the fun hair clip trend and have picked up these pearl ones (seen on Nora and I above) and geometric/tortoise shell ones. Nora and I share these clips - she still thinks it's fun to match. :) I've also just ordered these knot headbands for under $15.
My closet isn't hurting either - I love Amazon's workout pants (worn above) for workout classes or shorter/cooler workouts (they just don't breath as well as more expensive versions, but at $25 and a ton of fun colors - worth it!). I also love stocking up on summer dresses - like this stripe short-sleeve dress.
And what's a closet without a million stripe shirts? This one is under $18, and I love how it's longer in the back - perfect for wearing with leggings.
A light weight and fun earring to add to your summer rotation are these tortoise shell hoops.
And probably one of the most popular buys from previous Amazon posts over on my Like2Know.it account, and that I also love myself is this faux-marble tray that I use as a sink caddy for my soaps and, another favorite item, this soap dispenser that suds up in the dish with the brush.
Target is legit my go-to for everything. From lunch for the day to groceries for my home, to clothing for my kids to the latest fun trendy piece for me - I can't stop. I have especially taken up shopping their online site, which has so many more items, sizes and styles to select from (then you can return in store, easily if it doesn't work - so I always order several items/sizes if I'm not sure).
But the site of all the options and selections can also be overwhelming (not to mention, the site isn't the smoothest of retail sites...). Since I'm constantly poking around the site and spending all-too many lunch breaks roaming the aisles (now that my newer job is right next door...), I find it easy to give you my top 10 Target picks!
1. Under $13, super soft and comfortable and waterproof white sandals - perfect for the beach or pool this summer. I wore mine to FL for girls trip and realized quickly they'd be my go-to for the summer! (and in fact, this line has several cute sandals!)
3. Some of my longtime most favorite leopard pieces are from Target, and I am loving this new leopard top. And as a bonus, this leopard skirt is the bomb.
4. We get 85% of our kids' clothing from Target from basics to trendy. Like this freakin' adorable leopard dress and our favorite everyday shorts for Nora.
5. This is the bra you have to try! This seemingly same bra by the same brand is also sold at Nordstrom for more than double the cost. Comes in multiple colors and all sizes.
6. My favorite storage baskets - we have both sizes in our bathroom to store hair products, toilet paper and smaller day to day products.
7. My favorite sunglasses of the season! Two of my friends and I picked up these sames ones (planned) and have been rocking them since (see two of us in them here).
8. This hat looks similar to the more expensive one that I have (worn here) - I love the classic look and the sun protection in one!
9. I am on a plant hunt for both faux and real alike. I love the fresh look and pop of color that plants bring, but few places (or people) in my home can actually keep a real one alive. I love this faux-plant in white pot at a good price!
10. I am also loving Target's workout wear - and this top is super soft with a great mesh panel in the back for warmer weather. I also love the length of the back of the shirt to cover my bum.
The season ahead looks very clear! Pops of transparent bags and straps on shoes filled the runways, showing us what Spring and Summer 2019 accessories will be all about (and not talking about those clear bags to get into NFL games).
And even if you aren't totally cool with revealing all your insides, there are baby steps towards the trend you can take. Like this semi-transparent holographic bag that I got last summer after my good friend Katie inspired me with the cute way she styled hers.
My recent clear/white leather bag has been one I have been eying for awhile! I love the mod style, and how easy it is to use with any outfit. I shared more about it - and this look - here.
The other half of the clear trend I'm seeing everywhere are on your feet! I love love love these clear sandals (more sizes here & here), but decided to take a cheaper route to this trend with these ones (more sizes here). These clear sandals are actually comfortable and the studs break up all that clearness. I love that they can really be worn with anything, and add a little something extra to a look.
A round up of these and other cute clear sandals and bags (at all price points) to try this season:
