This navy tonal seersucker maxi dress is one of those easy summer pieces that looks polished but feels incredibly comfortable. The wrinkle-free fabric makes it perfect for long days out, and I paired it with navy patent sandals, patriotic earrings, and my new navy gingham jelly tote that’s roomy enough to carry all the day’s essentials… sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and more.

The flexible sole makes these espadrilles feel like sneakers and the embroidered cherries make them adorable!

I thought it would be fun to share what actually ended up in my Amazon cart this week! Just like most weeks, it was a mix of practical restocks (my beloved Magnesium Bath Flakes that help me sleep so well and printer ink!), things I was happily influenced to buy (thanks, Beth, for convincing me I needed that chicken shredder!), a few surprises for the grandbabies, and a couple of Prime Sale splurges I probably wouldn’t have grabbed otherwise (I’m looking at you, Casemate Jelly Tote!). Not everything is part of Prime Sale, but quite a few of these finds are!

Yep! It's Amazon! This tiered denim dress is such a cute and easy piece for summer! The soft, breathable fabric, feminine flutter sleeves, and three-tier silhouette create a flattering, comfortable fit, while the crew neckline, keyhole back, and pockets add thoughtful details. Dress it up with wedges or keep it casual with sandals for everything from vacation days to everyday outings. I paired it with a classic pair of go-with-everything flip-flops. My treasured grandma name necklace, and my favorite designer dupe earrings.

Modern Americana style is one of my favorite summer fashion trends this year! 🇺🇸 I’m loving classic striped tops, white denim, linen pants, patriotic outfits, coastal style, and timeless red, white, and blue pieces that never go out of style. These summer wardrobe essentials are perfect for vacations, summer holidays, casual outfits, and everyday wear. ❤️🤍💙

Tile and flooring and backsplashes, oh my! 🤎✨

Today, I met with our designer again to make more selections for our empty nester remodel.

We compared tile samples, debated flooring options, held up backsplash choices, and tried to imagine how all the pieces will work together in our new home. Thankfully, this brown gingham jacket and linen-blend shorts combination was comfortable enough for a morning of design decisions and stylish enough to make all those choices feel a little more fun.

I paired it with my favorite platform sandals, a sweet heart toggle necklace, and a white belt for an easy look that was perfect for a productive morning with our design team.

ShopMy Description
This tote was such a thoughtful gift from my son and daughter-in-law, and I love that they had it custom embroidered just for me. It’s roomy, sturdy, and packed with practical details like a wipeable interior and exterior, an interior pocket, and a clever strap that keeps your beach hat secure. I used it nonstop on our recent beach trip and it held everything I needed with room to spare!

This colorful striped dress is such an easy throw-on-and-go piece, with a flattering A-line shape, smocked bodice, and the prettiest little flutter sleeves.
