May Amazon Haul

Okay, Ladies.

I. Am. Pumped.

I’ve got soooooooo much great stuff to share with y’all today!  I always have so much fun doing these AMAZON HAULS, and I get so excited to share the deals I’ve found with ya’ll. This month’s haul is really flipping good. Here’s a little peek into my May finds…

Let’s kick things off with a bang.

I had no idea how much I was going to love this strapless maxi dress.  AND GIRLS, I LOVE THIS DRESS.

First of all, there are THOUSANDS of 5 star reviews.  A lot of the reviewers posted pics of themselves in the dress as well if you want to see it on different body types (I know this is often super helpful).  It comes in a multitude of colors and prints.  I’m wearing “red”, but I also really love the “pink”.  It’s a pull on dress without any zippers, and it’s insanely comfortable.   It’s smocked across the bust, and it stays put.  I’m not even wearing a bra with it here, but my favorite strapless bra would also work perfectly.

It’s tiered and has little ruffles on the tiers.  It’s adorable.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This tie dye dress comes in tons of color options (not all are tie dye), and most colors and sizes are UNDER $25.  It’s a rayon and spandex combo, so it’s got some stretch to it.  It’s not a clingy fit, and it has pockets!  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium for a more relaxed fit here.  In just a second you’ll see the exact dress (in a striped pattern) on me in a small so you can compare the fits.

This is totally cute as a dress, but it would also make a great cover up. It’s a perfect little dress to go from the beach to lunch or dinner on vacation.

I think it looks awesome paired with this striped tote that could totally be used for a beach or pool bag.  It’s straight up awesome.  The colors are so vibrant and I love the stripe pattern.  It’s super lightweight, very roomy, and has interior pockets.  This is a great tote!  It’s SO FREAKING CUTE!

Here’s the striped version. For size reference, I’m wearing a small in this one (and a medium in the tie dye dress).

This kimono is FANTASTIC.  I’m wearing the “green”, but I think it’s more like a turquoise.  It also comes in black, blue, and orange as well as a couple in a different pattern. I’m wearing it here with denim shorts, but it would also look great with white jeans and wedges!

kimono / white tee / bezel set diamond necklace /  denim shorts  /  sandals (size up a 1/2)

When you see it closed like this, you see the kimono could also make a fabulous swimsuit cover up.

You originally saw this blouse on me last year, and it’s one that I still own and wear.

This floral tie waist top is DARLING, it’s great with denim shorts, but I love wearing it with white jeans as well.  As you can see, I have it tied in a knot on the left, and on the right I have it tucked in.  I also sometimes wear it in a bow and love that look too.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the top.

How would you like a simple (but awesome!) t shirt dress for only $20!  I’m wearing the charcoal leopard, but it also comes in camel leopard and a muted camo, AND BOTH ARE AWEOME.  This is the kind of dress I want to live in during the summer months, so I’m thinking I’m going to grab the camel leopard as well.

I love that it’s super lightweight, and I like the short length, but if you are 5’5″ or above it might be too short on you.  It is quite thin, but not see thru.  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

The tassel necklace is only $13.99!

dress /  gold hoop earrings / tassel necklace / sandals (size up a 1/2)

It of course looks great with a denim jacket thrown on top.

This ruffle sleeve camo dress is yet another dress for summer that’s easy to just thrown on and look great. I really like the added detail of the ruffled sleeve on this one!  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.  It’s a little roomy across the shoulders, but I think a small would be too tight across the chest.

Next up, I have a great basic tee with a little extra flare!  This tulip sleeve tee is one I can see many of you falling in love with and deciding to grab it in additional colors.  I’m wearing the light blue here, but it also comes in black, grey, purple, green and white.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

I’ve had so many requests for v necks (vs. crew necks) and the v neck on this one is very flattering (and not too deep).  The little detail on the sleeve is so pretty and makes the regular ol’ t-shirt a little special.

Although not from Amazon, these white distressed denim shorts are the best white denim shorts I’ve found (so I knew they deserved a close up).  Just a tiny bit of distressing, a frayed hem, and the perfect amount of stretch.  I’m wearing my regular size 4.

I wanted to show you three of my current favorite Amazon bags with this basic tee and cut off outfit.

All 3 bags are awesome, all are under $35, and they are ALL from Amazon!

I wanted y’all to see this heathered blue tee with my regular denim shorts as well.

tulip sleeve tee / rainbow beaded earrings /  bezel set diamond necklace / hope bracelet stack / denim shorts /  neutral patent sandals (size up a 1/2)

This hope bracelet stack is ONLY $13.99 and I think it’s so cute!

The neutral patent sandals are a great option for those of you that love the look of the Tory Burch Miller Sandals, but you don’t want to pay the price.

This blush sweater is so sweet, incredibly soft, and a perfect light weight to be worn all spring and summer long.  It comes in 10 colors, but as I often do, I fell in love with the blush.  The collar, the sleeves, and the pointelle knit are all just perfectly adorable.   If you have a long torso, this might not be long enough for you.  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I showed it to you last month with jeans, but I love it styled with white shorts.

These white denim shorts are from Amazon and I LOVE the fit.  They look like a bright white here, but they definitely have a bit of cream in them.  I would prefer it if they were a true bright white.  For size reference, I did size up one to a 6.

blush sweater /white denim shorts / bracelet / neutral patent sandals (size up a 1/2)

The same blush sweater looks great with my washed black denim shorts too.

And here is how I styled it last month with jeans…

This white sweater is from the same link and is also a pointelle knit, but you can see it’s a different style.  It’s cut quite a bit more generously, so I’m wearing a small in this one.  It’s a beautiful white sweater and I’m excited to have it in my closet.  It comes in several other pastel colors as well.

These washed black denim shorts are new to my closet this year, and I’m happy to have them.  I’ve really enjoyed pulling them out to mix up my outfits a bit.  Last year I think I wore my regular denim cut offs almost every single day.

I styled this one last month with jeans as well…

I had this puff sleeved dress in a print last year and loved it, but it sold out.  I posted the black last month and have received so many messages from y’all about how you love it and how it’s such great quality! It’s soooooooooooo incredibly soft.  The material isn’t heavy, but it’s thicker than a regular tee, so it feels very well made.  I love the fit (it’s very forgiving) and the puff sleeves are such a nice design element, without being too dramatic.  It is such a great dress.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.  For a more relaxed fit, size up.

The reviews on this dress are great, so if you’re on the fence, go see what other people have to say about it! Some have posted pics of them in the dress as well.

And here it is with black from last month styled with this super colorful bag.  The pattern is so fun and whimsical, and it’s a great large size!

puff sleeved dress / gold hoop earrings / bezel set diamond necklace / bracelet / sandals (size up a 1/2) / bag

This romper isn’t for me because I think the shorts are the wrong proportion on me. You can’t really tell from this angle, but they are a little long.  That’s great news for you taller ladies though!  I know that rompers are hard to find when you’re taller, so I definitely wanted to show this as an option for those of you that are vertically blessed!  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This pajama set is a great option for lounging around the house.  Even in the heat of summer, I typically like for my pj tops to have sleeves (because we sleep with a.c. and a fan).  I don’t hate the material, but I don’t love it either.  I would definitely prefer them to be 100% cotton.  However, it is a cute little set.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

AMAZON FAVORITES

I found some more of my favorites BACK IN STOCK.

Y’all know I love a great basic cardi, and this is a great basic cardi.  I’m wearing the rose, but it comes in 14 colors!  It’s super soft and very well made. It’s a crew neck, and I prefer a v neck for casual wear, but as you can see below I just kind of fold the neckline a bit when I want it to not look like the basic crew neck.

I love it dressed down with cut offs, but it’s definitely nice enough to wear to the office as well.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

cardi / white tee / beaded teardrop earrings / dainty necklace / sea green necklace /  leopard tote / denim shorts sold out / sandals (size up a 1/2)

I accessorized this outfit with some great earrings and a fun leopard tote.

cardi / white tee / beaded teardrop earrings / dainty necklace / sea green necklace /  leopard tote / denim shorts sold out / sandals (size up a 1/2)

How darling are these earrings!  They come in several colorways, and mine are officially called “yellow” although they combine turquoise, yellow, orange, pink, red, and gold.  I also love the pretty pastel “pink” option.

Okay!  Let’s talk about the leopard tote.  I first showed this last year, and I still pull it out every so often.

If you like a big bag, this is a great option for you.  It’s realllllllly big, holds a ton, and can definitely accommodate the XL felt bag organizer.

This off the shoulder shift dress is DARLING.

It’s got a little stretchy under slip that’s attached (so it’s not see thru), it’s got give, it’s got movement, and it stays off the shoulder.  The little off the shoulder ruffle is very cute, and I love how the sleeves have a double ruffle.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.  I’m almost 5’4″ and it’s short, but not too short for me!  I absolutely adore the swingy fit.

It comes in other colors too, but the lighter colors show a seam on the ruffle that the darker colors don’t show.  Because of that, I say stick with the darker color options.

And, ladies.

This dress.

THIS. DRESS. IS. STUNNING.

STUNNING!!!

I ordered this particular dress on a whim because the reviews were great, but I had no idea how much I was going to love it.  I’ve had several friends borrow it for various occasions and it’s always a hit. And it’s right at $30.  WHAT?  That’s right.  I said $30.

It’s elegant, it’s flattering, and it’s comfy.  And get this…it stays off your shoulders without having to mess with it!  The tiered layers are gorgeous and I absolutely love the tiny little pleats on each tier.  I have trouble finding dresses that I love because I always have to size up for room in the chest, which makes the bottom of the dress too roomy.

I feel great in this dress.

It also comes in pink, yellow, blue, and purple  For size reference, I’m wearing a size small.

This dress is definitely in my TOP 10 Amazon Finds OF ALL TIME.

How fun is a breezy caftan?  This one is incredibly chic and looks much more expensive than it is.  It’s ONLY $25.99!

I showed this dress in a 5 SUMMER OUTFITS post last summer, but here I’ve dressed it down with a ball cap.

It’s a perfect maxi, y’all.

First of all, it’s ONLY $26.90.

I love that it’s not clingy, but it’s also not boxy at all.  It drapes really nicely and is super flattering.  The material is soft and light, and it feels great on the skin.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small, and that’s the only size remaining.

And get this.  IT DOESN’T WRINKLE.  I pulled it right out of the package and it looked great.  This would be a  great little travel dress.

I love the little straw tote with pom poms.  It’s just plain fun!

striped maxi / denim jacket /Judith March hat / sunglasses / statement earrings / sea green necklace / straw tote with pom poms / colorful tile bracelets / slide sandals

The cover up is only $18.99 and comes in tons of color options! They are one size fits all, which seemed realllllllly weird to me, but I really like the fit.  You can also click HERE for a more classic beach cover up option.

The neoprene tote is FANTASTIC and comes in lots of color choices  It has snaps on the sides that allow you to adjust the size, and it’s plenty of big for lots of towels, water bottles, sun screens, and snacks.

LAST 5 THINGS I PURCHASED ON AMAZON

I always love seeing what’s in other people’s Amazon carts, so here’s what was just in mine (that’s now on it’s way to me):

•  I can’t believe this, but I grabbed another graphic tee.  This one says “Country Roads, Take Me Home”, so I couldn’t resist.  I mean, obviously.
• I got the “Pat 3 Light Blue” in this swimsuit cover up.  I love that it looks like an oversized shirt!
• I also picked up this swimsuit cover up in watermelon red.
• My cousin’s daughter is getting married, and she was registered on Amazon (which was so convenient).  I ordered her this 3 piece serving bowl set and this 12 piece dinnerware service for 4 in matte grey.
• I got the medium size in this soft side jewelry travel bag (in the soft pink).

OH, WAIT!

If you missed my post on Wednesday, you need to go check out all of our skincare questions that were answered by COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD herself!  She’s got a 25% OFF SITEWIDE SALE going on, and she’s answering a lot of great questions on that post.

Question:  Based on Sheaffer’s reviews, I have tried a variety of CR products. I’m not sure that I have found the right combination for me though. I am 52 years old, so fine lines, wrinkles and dull skin are an awareness for me. The challenge comes in that I am also prone to regular breakouts, mainly whiteheads on my chin and the side of my nose. Please help! -Michelle

Answer:  I recommend trying out the Glycolic Peel Pads with Blue Agave. The pads have quickly become a top seller and for good reason – the 10% blend of glycolic and lactic acids increase cellular turnover, keeping skin super clear and bright.  (These pads are sold out right now, but we are working hard to get them back soon!)

That’s it for today, y’all!

I hope you scored some great deals and had some fun along the way.  Have a great weekend with your people!
