We took the girls out for some post dinner Pressed “Freezes” last night, and as we sat there eating them, watching the sunset, I started to think about this upcoming summer. We have a couple of trips we’re all really excited for, but I was more or less thinking about the day to day routine in the summertime. We’ve had a rhythm and routine for the past 9ish months and sometimes those routines can be hard for me to release on, because they provide good structure. But Harper has been begging to stay up a bit later during summer (actually, she’s also been begging to stay up until midnight on NYE… already….) and while we haven’t made any definitive decisions about the former (not even broaching NYE right now…) it was a reminder to me that they’re getting older. Our summers are evolving out of scheduled nap-times spent indoors, and we’re able to push the limits a bit more with “special occasion” bedtimes (we had a fun BBQ with friends last Friday, and I was nervous how they would do with a later bedtime, but they did remarkably well… stretched it by about 1.5 hours)… and the flexibility that provides excites me for the summer season ahead.
Random and rambling thoughts as we head into the weekend, but now back to what this post is actually about…
I rounded up items I personally own and recommend from some of the Memorial Day weekend sales. Hopefully it’s helpful if you’ve had your eye on something, but as I say with all my sale posts, if you don’t need anything, just consider this post a happy long weekend from me to you post!
Have a wonderful few days!

SHOPBOP
While SHOPBOP isn’t having a big site-wide sale, I did find this flowy black dress, which is lined, and has pockets, on sale. Love it for summer…
I also use this toiletry bag for travels (made from sustainable products) and it’s 15% off…
Additionally they’re having 15% off of beauty, and a lot of my favorite products are included, like the Olaplex Hair mask I use once a week, and the shampoo and conditioner, as well as the exfoliating treatment I use on my scalp (which I swear is how my hair grew so fast). I also use this bonding oil as a finishing style product.
Also, one of my go-to sunscreens for summer (smells like everything summer is in a bottle) and the supergoop glow sunscreen (which I use on my face).
I have also been using these TanLuxe self tanning drops and lotion for about 4 years now and love them…
When I wear eyeshadow, this Lawless palette is one of my go-to’s (love the neutral colors)…
I just purchased the Olaplex lash serum… I’ve only been using it for a week, but I’ll report back…
These moisturizing heel socks are part of my at home pedicure routines… I put a heel balm on and them wear these for a couple of hours around the house and my heels feel so soft!
J.CREW
J.Crew is having 40% off on a wide variety of items (unfortunately the linen pants and shorts I recently purchased from them aren’t included….) but I wanted to share a few of the items that are…
Like this strapless swimsuit and striped white and navy button down cover-up (I purchased it last season and it’s still one of my favorites…)
I also purchased this light blue and white long linen cover-up… not sure how it fits, but the colors are beautiful…
If you like the Clare V. Sandy crochet tote, this rope tote is a great alternative and the black color is on sale… I have it and it’s pretty spacious…
And if you’re looking for the man in your life, TJ has these swim trunks in so many different colors and they’re some of his favorite… he also has several colors of these linen shorts, as well as these white and black contrast dock shorts…

My go-to cashmere cocoon cardigan is also included… there is a cotton version as well if you’re not a cashmere fan…
These sweatpants and this sweatshirt, which have been in my previous capsules are also on sale… and so comfortable…
And this white flowy dress, which I purchased back in 2021 and took with me on so many travels. It’s so comfortable (it was perfect in Italy for that very reason, haha!)
I have these fisherman sandals in my cart…
MADEWELL
Madewell is having 30% off… some of my go-to items, and some I think are cute include…
this oversized white button down cover-up… I bought this for Hawaii last year (2022) and it’s still a favorite. Love that it can be buttoned down as well and worn as an oversized dress…
These basic ribbed tanks are so comfortable…
And my favorite vintage tees…

I also have this zip up, and these pajamas (shorts), and this bodysuit, all of which are so comfortable and keep me nice and cool…
EVERLANE
Everlane has many items marked down up to 30%, including my go-to oversized black hoodie. I love the fit and feel of the material, it’s soft while having some oversized structure to it! I would recommend going up one size if you want it to fit even more oversized…

Elemis makes some of my go-to skincare products… they typically offer anywhere form 20-30% off during Memorial Day… and since iI haven’t seen the sale posted yet, I’m not sure if it will come tomorrow, or if it’s not happening this year. Either way, I thought I would include my go-to products in case the sale opens up tomorrow…
The pro-collagen moisturizing cream
The pro-collagen oxygenating overnight cream
And the cleansing balm (my absolute favorite)
Dynamic Resurfacing Pads (love these and how they make my skin glow)
And I just started this tri-acid peel and I think it’s really working to smooth out my skin (it’s hard to know in the beginning, haha)
