Summer’s in full swing, and so are the markdowns—perfect timing to refresh the pieces that make warm-weather living a joy. In this roundup, you’ll find patio-friendly essentials for dinners under the stars, breezy beach wear that keeps you cool from sunrise swims to sunset strolls, and a few tried-and-true gadgets I rely on all season long. Let’s dive in and make the most of every sunny day (and every generous discount) ahead.
AMAZON PRIME DAY
- Nothing says easy summer entertaining like a little wicker utensil caddy set out at a backyard barbecue! It's an easy and chic way to carry everything from utensils to condiments.
- These chic travel capsules are my favorite for traveling with shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, and more! I've never had a leak, and they make pulling out your liquids a breeze at TSA. They're pricey but worth it, and such a great gift for the avid traveler—or a smart upgrade for your own summer travels.
- Switching to cleaner products can be a pricey undertaking, so Prime Day is a smart way to save a bit. My top picks if you're trying to clean up your kitchen: these glass food storage containers, non-toxic baking sheets (great for everything from cookies to veggies), and our favorite non-toxic cleaning products. (I've never seen them on sale before!)
- Upgrade a simple ponytail with this gorgeous gold hair band.
- I have little lamps in many of the corners of our house and this mini gourd lamp looks like my prized Christopher Spitzmiller lamp but is under $50. (Pick a glazed finish—they look more expensive than the matte ones.)
- We gave my father-in-law a Theragun Pro as a gift last year and love using it when we're at his place. Well, Theragun kindly gifted me their mini massager and we all fight over it after a family tennis match! It makes a massive difference on sore muscles and is small enough you can take it anywhere. I used it on my sore back/shoulders after a long road trip and felt 100% afterwards. (I'm also tempted to try their 3-in-1 facial massager/red light/microcurrent device, which is much more compact than the red light masks!) They're running a prime day deal on their site so you can find the best prices on Therabody.com. Would make an amazing gift for your guy (that you can steal for yourself) and I cannot recommend it enough!
HOME DECOR FINDS
- Today is the last day of the Serena & Lily sale and my cute little side table that readers always ask about is on sale for under $200! It looks so good next to our favorite chair, which is also on major sale. We have this chair in different colors in several rooms in our house. It's so comfortable for people of all sizes, from toddlers to tall guys! (See it in our bedroom here!)
- If you want to get the look of my July 4th table I recommend scooping up some of this beautiful spongeware! The plates are perfect for serving summer delights like strawberry shortcake or ice cream cookie sandwiches, and look fabulous against this tablecloth!
- If your backyard needs a spruce, consider these classic chaise loungers (2,000 5 star reviews!) and a cute little garden stool between them. I love the lounger in natural with a navy cushion, and would throw thes cabana striped towels over the back for an inviting spot to enjoy the sun!
WARDROBE SALE FAVORITES
- The bandana print sundress I wore in Italy looks good on women of all ages. My mom stole it and wore it with a little white sweater jacket last Sunday. So chic! This brand makes such high quality staples and it's worth perusing their sale section to round out your wardrobe with timeless pieces like this eyelet top or this sweater polo.
- One of my go-to summer outfit formulas is a fun cotton or linen top paired with my favorite white shorts. This striped linen shirt has a great cut and is only $56, I also love this navy block print top, and this aqua shirt.
- These nautical rope slides just arrived and they are so fun and crazy comfortable. (I have the white but also love the eggplant color - and they're under $80!)
- Two dreamy dresses from one of my favorite brands are on major sale for under $200. This midi dress and this sweater dress are great late-summer-to-fall transitional pieces - wear with sandals now and heeled boots later! (Their whole sale section is amazing!)
- My gauze set above (top here, bottoms here) is super soft and 25% off with code "FEELS25". It's the perfect thing to throw over your swimsuit during long beach days to protect sun-kissed shoulders.
- This romantic cotton voile dress is 30% off and perfect for summer's hottest days. Wear this or this underneath for a smooth silhouette!
- Being outside a lot calls for a great pair of sunnies - or two! I'm on the hunt for a few new pairs and just ordered these in two colors to try!
