I don’t even have to do a deep dive into our bank account to tell you that Amazon is where we spend most of our “shopping” budget. From diapers to laundry detergent and shoes for the entire family, I’m always clicking “Buy Now with 1-Click.

Today is Prime Day– woop woop! It’s like holiday sales for Prime Members and it lasts for 36 hours. If you aren’t a prime member you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here and test it out.

I thought I’d share the 10 items we are ordering as well as share my top Amazon purchases, so you can get a feel for what we use constantly. I love to read these kinds of posts as I feel they are very “What’s in My Bag” if you will. I’m nosey- OKAY?!ย 

What I’m Grabbing from Prime Day

  1. Daily Ritual Dress: There are a ton of Amazon Fashion deals for today and it all centers around great basics that will make your wardrobe easy to style. These jersey v-neck dresses are $18 today and I have one in the “olive green” shade. I definitely want to get more colors today as that’s such a hard deal to pass up. I wear an XS in them and I’ll show you below how I style mine 3 different ways. I wore mine to dinner last night and we took Maxi to the park after. They are long enough you can chase your little one and feel comfortable. ๐Ÿ™‚
  2. Fix Shoes: In the photos below, you’ll see I wore the Naomi Oversized Bow Slide by The Fix. The Fix is a shoe brand I LOVE {remember these slides I had last year?}. While I already have these bow slides, I wanted to share them with you as they are on sale today. I have them in the denim shade and I love to pair them with cropped wide-leg denim for a chic look. In this brand, I do size up half a size!
  3. Long-Sleeve Terry Tee: As you shop the fashion deals, don’t forget to grab great long-sleeve tees even though it is summer. This brand is the same brand as my jersey dress and I love the quality. I’m going to be grabbing these tees as they are great for layering with vests in the fall and worn alone with workout leggings.
  4. Suede Sling Backs: Ever since Chanel slingbacks had such a moment last year {and still are!}, I’ve been trying to find the perfect suede pair. I think these pair beautifully with distressed boyfriend jeans and a white blouse. This pair is on sale for Prime Day.
  5. Chino Shorts for Paul: Don’t forget your guy! Paul said he wanted me to grab him these chino shorts, and they are $25 today. He has more olive skin, so I love the “muted clay” shade for him!
  6. V-Necks for Paul: Outside of suits for work, Paul probably wears v-necks more than anything else. He’ll wear them with workout shorts, he’ll wear them with regular shorts, he’ll wear them with jeans. He likes to keep his wardrobe pretty simple, so I’m going to grab a few of these as they are $12 and he can wear them whenever.
  7. Workout Tees for Paul: If your guy hates to spend a ton of money on workout tees, these are also part of the deals today.
  8. Fleece Loose-Knit Shorts for Paul: I’m also going to grab these lounge shorts for him!
  9. Lace Bralette: In the summer {who am I kidding? ALL year}, I prefer bralettes to anything else. These come in a ton of colors and are a great price.
  10. Latoire Jade Roller: I jade roll every single morning to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and improve elasticity. It also is the BEST feeling when you start to have a migraine. I put on my peppermint oil and jade roll away. This is the one I use and it is on sale for $13.99 for Prime Day. I pick these up as gifts and if you have won one of my beauty giveaways recently, you know I throw these in as a little extra! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Three Ways I Style My Jersey Dress

To go along with the jersey dress I shared that is $18, I wanted to share the most common ways I style it for summer.

Option 1: If I’m taking Maxi to a museum or an indoor activity, I know it’s going to be freezing even though it is 104 out. I keep my J.Crew denim jacket tied around my waist so I can toss it on when we are inside.

Option 2: An easy way to get a completely different look is to tie a white tee over my jersey dress. I just tie-up a crewneck tee {actual one is sold out} at the waist and this dress looks like a skirt.

Option 3: Of course, you can just wear the dress alone! I paired mine with my go-to espadrilles {the ones I wore in Disneyland!} and a crossbody bag.

Note: If you are fuller chested, I’d size up in this dress. I’m wearing an xs and wear a size 34B.ย 

And this is taking photos with a toddler! For one second she is into it and then, “BRB Mama, gotta go!!” Ha! But I wanted to share a real-life photo of me wearing a look on sale. Many of you have asked for more mirror shots and real-life photos so you can get a better idea of realistic ways to wear what I style on my blog. I hope this helps. ๐Ÿ™‚

Current Amazon Favorites

  1. Purse Organizer: This has been my go-to purse organizer for years as it comfortably fits in satchels and smaller bags. A lot of purse organizers I see are for major totes and this fits a handbag so well. I shared it back in my organization hacks blog post.
  2. Clear Lipstick Caps: These are the lipstick caps I use on my MAC lipsticks so that I can see the color from the front of my GLAMbox. It’s also nice when I’m pulling a lipstick out of my diaper bag and I don’t have to open up 14 different tubes {how many I MUST carry ๐Ÿ˜‰ } to find the right shade. I always have the sticker shades rubbed off on the bottoms since I am constantly messing with my lipstick- so is Maxi. So this just works best!
  3. Diva Detergent: This detergent is one of my favorites for washing our blankets and sheets, it’s also my go-to housewarming gift as it is a little different than the standard candle and bottle of champagne. A little goes a long way, so you can make this last so long by just pouring a tiny bit in with your unscented regular detergent.
  4. Hand Treatment: This is my mom’s favorite hand treatment that my girlfriend, Ashley, introduced us to. Ashley used to work at a beauty store years ago and she said they couldn’t ever keep this in stock because women would come in and buy 5 at a time. I get these for my mom as gifts.
  5. Donna Morgan Dresses: I love to get Donna Morgan dresses off Amazon {remember this one!} and this one is my most recent buy.
  6. Shopping Cart Snack Tray for Maxi: Toddler mamas, this may be the best thing you buy all year. Seriously. This is our shopping cart snack tray that I clip on our shopping cart. My girlfriend, Kate, told me about them and it has made shopping so much easier. I clip this to the cart and Maxi is content and I’m not picking up dropped goldfish like I would be if she were just pulling out of a ziplock bag.
  7. Espadrilles: These are the espadrilles I lived in at Disneyland and use in place of a sneaker when out with Maxi. I can’t get off my soapbox enough about how comfortable they are! I purchased these via Amazon before our trip and adore them.
  8. Diapers: We use Huggies for Maxi, so I couldn’t make an Amazon Prime post without acknowledging the most common item we buy from Amazon. ๐Ÿ˜‰
  9. Folex Cleaner: This is one household item I cannot live without. My friend that is a twin mama introduced me to it when Maxi was a few months old. It gets out everything- even red liquid lipstick. When I was gone this weekend and Paul was with Maxi she busted out a red liquid lipstick {I don’t even know how she got it!} and “painted” in her room. This got everything out perfectly!
  10. Crescent Necklace: I have a crescent necklaceย and each time I post it, they sell out so fast because these are such a sought-after look. I feel like every time I see one I just love it. This one by Gorjana is one I always get for girlfriends for gifts.

I also keep my go-to buys here if you ever need to reference.

Are you grabbing anything for Prime Day?
