We all know Amazon is taking over the world, but we just can’t deny how many great things they have on the site and how much we love two-day shipping. This time of year it feels like everything needs a refresh - especially our wardrobes and our homes, so we are always on the hunt for more affordable items to mix in with our investment purchases. We’ve pulled together some of the staples that will be getting us through the early summer days and this new era of parties without capacity limits and entertaining friends at home again. Is anyone else equal parts nervous and excited about being back in the world again?

1. I am patiently waiting for this blue swiss dot wrap dress to arrive in the mail- it looks like the perfect amount of flattering and floaty for hot summer nights. - D

2. These rattan coasters would be such a cute hostess gift. -E

3. The first Instagram ads that I truly fell victim to were for Cupshe bathing suits, which are the easiest to buy on Amazon with their returns system. This navy and yellow color block is the newest in my collection and I can’t wait to bust it out this year (it’s sold out, but here is a link to a similar one), and this one shoulder suit is my favorite from last year. - D

4. I’m swapping out my warm winter throws for lighter summer blankets and this blue and white buffalo check throw would fit in seamlessly. -E

5. This Grace Atwood designed dress is cute and easy. I got it in green for the summer and it’s a great day to night option that you can dress up or down. -E

6. I love my all white Tretorns, but these gold accented ones are just a tiny bit more fun! - D

7. Now that it’s nice out, I want to eat every meal outdoors and these floral melamine plates would really up my outside dining look. -E

8. I’ve been on the hunt for a cute wicker bag and this one looks like such a good option. I love the little ribbon detail. -E

9. Doesn’t everyone need new sunglasses at this time of year? A bunch of my favorite stylish bloggers recommend these super affordable super giant ones. Most glamorous $15 ever. -E

10. I saw this dress on Julia Berlozheimer (who makes everything look good!) so I had to order one. I’ll let you know how the quality is once it arrives, but it looks like the perfect day dress for warm weather. -E

11. I realized the other day that I have a bunch of old and mismatched dish towels that really need to go, so I moved them all to the rag bin and ordered a new set of matching and fresh ones. Now I feel like an organization queen and ready for my spin on The Home Edit. -E

12. How perfect is this white garden stool for inside or out? I just added some to our pool area so that no matter where you’re sitting, you have a spot to stash a drink and book. -E

13. This Ella Moss shirt is the perfect mix of easy to wear with pretty, feminine details. - D

14. Minimalist, everyday earrings can hard to find, but these thin gold bars are perfect for a less preppy but still chic look. - D

15. My friend Kim got me into quick drying towels for the boat and beach last summer. We would always end up with a bunch of heavy damp towels by the end of a day on the water, but she had these thin, fast-drying towels that the kids loved. I’m stocking up on them this year. -E

16. The Freedom Moses sandals were everywhere last summer, but we still love them, especially in this shimmery pink color. - D
