The unofficial start to summer is here, and deals are heating up along with the weather.
Memorial Day weekend brings plenty of deep discounts across the internet, from big retailers like Nordstrom and Amazon to some of celebrities’ favorite beauty brands.
With so many options out there, our expert editors are spilling what we’re actually adding to our carts — including a “flattering” bikini, pretty home decor and a chic phone case that just might be calling your name, too.
“After testing out the Rag & Bone Miramar track pants for a story, I’m hooked. They’re a compliment magnet, and feel just as soft as sweatpants. While I’m tempted to buy them in every color, I’m going to start with this cute double-layered option that’s on sale right now.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Commerce Editor
“Ever since seeing Jenny Bird’s Dane bangle anklets on both Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson, I knew I had to make them mine. Since the brand is offering 15% off two pieces from its water-resistant line this week, I’m definitely shopping those — and I’ve got my eye on some pretty hoops to go with them.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“Unfortunately, our cat’s enthusiastic bedtime biscuit-making finally left our fitted sheet with several holes. As a replacement, I’m thinking of ordering this Quince set that’s garnered so many glowing reviews. People seem to swear by Quince bedding, and I’m eager to see if it’s worth the hype!” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“This is my new favorite thing to do, and I believe it’s ‘Benjamin Button’-ing me. It has a short cycle and only needs to be used five times a week. After a month and a half, I see a marked improvement in my skin tone and clarity. Dare I say my wrinkles are even less visible? I use the Firm cycle, then Glow or Rejuvenate for maximum benefits, and add my favorite skin care after. It’s also super relaxing to use!” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“I got the viral So Chic one-piece from Gooseberry Intimates (the one Kourtney Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney have worn), and I can’t rave about it enough. It’s truly the most flattering swimsuit I own, so I have no doubt the brand’s bikinis are the same amazing quality!” — Brooke Matalon, Social Media Manager
“I recently traded my bulky old phone case for this cute Bandolier design, and I’m not sure how I ever lived without it. The attached wallet is a lifesaver — no more digging through my seemingly bottomless tote when running to catch a train.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Commerce Editor
“After using this Aware shampoo, I felt a noticeable difference in how clean my scalp felt. I’ve been using the hair comb to generate more blood flow to the scalp, so I can’t wait to see the results.” — Michelle Moezam, Senior Social Media Manager
“I just got one of these and it’s so fun. I bring it everywhere; it’s the perfect solution for getting the look, feel and disconnected nature of disposable cameras without having to send a million rolls of film to the lab. It’s quickly become one of my most reached-for cameras in my arsenal (and I have a ton!).” — Jacq Kozak, Senior Photo Editor
“I’m lost without this soothing French thermal water spray. In winter, it hydrates dry skin; in summer, it refreshes. I love to stock up on holiday sales while I can save a bit.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“This rollneck from Alex Mill will look just as good worn normally as it will draped over my shoulders as an accessory for this unpredictable, in-between summer weather. I love the almost-Yves-Klein blue as a pop of color.” — Michelle Moezam, Senior Social Media Manager
“When I say I live in Abercrombie exercise dresses over the summer, I’m not kidding. While I already own at least four of them, I’m eyeing the scrunchie-strap and double-layered versions too while they’re 20% off.” — Hannah Southwick, Associate Commerce Editor
“Sales are also when I snap up some of my favorite mascaras — like Charlotte Tilbury’s, which never leaves me smudged.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“My husband and I are now the proud owners of a gorgeous vintage china cabinet, and while we’ve filled it about halfway with drinkware, I want to pepper in a few larger pieces of tableware, too. Anthopologie’s long been my favorite place to shop for home goods, and a multitude of items are up to 40% off for Memorial Day weekend. I’m eyeing this pretty botanical platter.” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“I’m obsessed with Anthropologie’s mirrors, which are truly a cut above any others. They add so much style while reflecting light in my home (but I always buy them on sale). While I’m absolutely crushing on this full-length style with birds. I may settle on this pretty, floral tabletop style. Such a great option for putting on jewelry or taking a last glance before running out the door.” — Erica Radol, Commerce Reporter
“Put simply, my bra wardrobe is in a dire place right now. I know I need more than the few bras I’ve been rotating for the past several years, and I’m intrigued by the idea of transitioning to comfier wireless styles, as a few friends of mine have. This option from Aerie — purveyor of my favorite undies — has well over 1,000 five-star reviews, and I’m thinking of giving it a try.” — Elana Fishman, Style & Shopping Director
“As we head into summer, I’m looking forward to refreshing my swim wardrobe to enjoy some time on the beach. Kulani Kinis is everywhere lately — even on celebs like Ciara Miller and Charli XCX. I love their patterns and I’m so excited to try some new cuts during this sale.” — Jacq Kozak, Senior Photo Editor
“I’m so obsessed with this brand. I’ve had my eye on these black-and-plaid split pants for months and now is the perfect time to snag them. For the alt girlies out there, you’re going to love this brand (and they’re size inclusive!)” — Jacq Kozak, Senior Photo Editor
