This incredibly stylish top-handle bag is very, very ready for you to take it to a rooftop/backard/beer garden. Prepare yourself for roughly 57 “where’d you get thats.”

Zella Tank

These Zella tanks, shoppable at Nordstrom, are absolutely ideal. They’re billed for working out and are certainly amazing for a good sweat sesh, but their subtle, simple design doesn’t scream athleticwear which makes them supremely versatile outside of the gym, too. You can layer them underneath any number of spring styles, or even wear them on their own with jeans or leggings. I’m telling you, you won’t find a better tank in terms of affordability and versatility. I’ve purchased in both black and white and the white is not see-through, which is another big win. I recommend snagging these before…

Amazon Pajamas

This particular style of long sleeve button-down pajamas is my personal favorite, and therefore I am constantly purchasing new versions to stay abreast of which brands make the very best pair. While you can absolutely invest in pricier versions with luxe fabrics, this Amazon version is… outstanding. They’re incredibly soft and comfortable, the fit is spot-on, and they wash really well. Honestly, the hardest part is picking a color but at a price point that’s roughly one-third of comparable alternatives, you can go ahead and pick three.

H&M Linen

If you’re looking for some super easy summer linen style staples, you really need to take a look at H&M’s linen offerings this season. So far, I’ve purchased joggers (in three colors because I loved my first pair and decided to hoard more), plus these cropped pants and button-down in the happiest apricot hue which make the sweetest, airiest matching set!

Willow Hands-Free Pump

This product is a lifesaver for those who are breastfeeding. The Willow pump is a wearable, in-bra breast pump that has thought of everything. It’s completely mobile and spill-proof, meaning you can do other things that you need to do as you pump. Its smart suction technology means it’s literally been engineered for comfort, and you can pump into storage bags or reusable containers—all while using a super quiet product. This pump has thought of every practical checklist item that mothers care about, and then delivered on them. I am eternally grateful.

Artipoppe Zeitgeist Carrier

These super chic baby carriers are bringing me such joy right now. While they’re definitely an investment that originally had me very skeptical, they are SO COMFORTABLE, adjust easily from infancy to toddler stage, and have the added benefit of offering a little more style to your overall look than typical carriers. I’ve found this to be especially important during the postpartum period when I rarely (if ever?) feel stylish. Instead of feeling like a pack mule, putting on this carrier actually makes me feel like there’s “a look” happening, and that works wonders for my mood during these special-but-challenging…

Aveda Blonde Revival Purple Toning Shampoo and Conditioner

Blondes know the importance of reliable toning products—especially in summertime. And, Memorandum readers obviously know how I feel about Aveda. The brand recently launched a new purple toning shampoo and conditioner pairing and it is outstanding. They let me test it out a couple months before launch, so believe me when I tell you that I know it’s GOOD. Better still, Nordstrom has it on sale for 25% off right now!

Krewe Sunglasses Sale

There is a MASSIVE (like, up to 70% off massive) sale happening at Krewe starting today. This New Orleans-based brand is one of my favorites, and if you’re looking for sunglasses that will literally get you compliments every time you leave the house, look no further. If all your other shades get jealous, I take zero responsibility. The Earhart and Simone styles are two of my favorites that you’ve seen on heavy rotation in my instagram stories.

Agua by Agua Bendita

Agua by Agua Bendita has become one of my favorite splurge-worthy dress brands for spring and summer in recent years. If you haven’t been charmed by these colorful, feminine pieces yet, you really need to take a look. Every garment is absolutely breathtaking—unique yet classic so you can invest with confidence knowing they’ll be worn year after year. If you need proof, check out my two most recently purchased pieces here and here. (P.S. Their swimwear is jaw-dropped as well!)

Lululemon Leggings With Pockets

Did you know that Lululemon has gathered all of their leggings with pockets into one conveniently shoppable section?? You know a brand loves its customers when it does something so thoughtful. They get us. Leggings with pockets have arguably been my greatest discovery of the pandemic because I’m obviously not carrying a handbag around the house so if I don’t have a place to put my snacks I mean my phone, I’m not interested.
