Prime Day can be a little overwhelming … to say the least.
Every content creator with 500+ followers is trying to influence you to buy this and shop that from their affiliate links.
Unfortunately, most of the sh*t out there just isn’t … worth it.
I’m here to break down what I already own and love, what I’m eyeing, and what I’m buying.

Fash
If you follow me for one thing only, I’m sure it’s fashion.
You guys know how picky I am, though, so a lot of Amazon fashion doesn’t really do it for me, ya know?
Thankfully, many reputable retailers have Amazon stores that also have Prime Day deals, which is where you’ll see me grab most of my picks from.
I can’t recommend the Free City sweats enough. I am someone who doesn’t love a super thick, bulky sweat. If you’re the same, and you’re on the hunt for something that is equal parts breathable, easy to style, and reminiscent of the early aughts, these are the ones for you. In addition to how chic they are, they also wash and dry really well, which is a huge plus. I love these, too.
I also can’t *not* mention my fave denim shorts on earth. They really are so flattering. They’re the actual perfect length and wash. You know how difficult it is to find good jean shorts, so look no further! I know we’re all into fall fashion right now, but realistically you can still wear these for a few more weeks most places AND you’ll be able to wear them next spring and summer because this style will be in for years. I’m challenging myself to style them with boots this fall. Join me!
Only a couple sizes left in this cute little top (so Doen), but it looks perfect. Style with jorts above, ecru denim, and a trouser for fall. Add a blazer, and you’re Gucci!
I don’t own this exact bag, but I have one that is the same color and material from this brand, and it’s such a fall staple. This one is a good size and very reasonably price compared to other bags I like. (You know I have expensive taste!)
Jenny Bird is a brand I don’t talk about enough tbh. I would say 1/4 of my earring collection comes from them, and they are all 10/10. I invest here in there in jewelry, but if you want fun (sleek!) pieces that are affordable, this is the brand I recommend. I also haven’t had any issues with anything tarnishing. These are chic af. I also highly recommend these. So cool and effortless.
This is one of my favorite “throw-on-and-go” pieces basically all year long. Wear now with shorts, and rock with sweats and jeans when it cools down. It’s so comfortable and easy. Only a few left!
It’s also a great idea to stock up on Levi’s right now! These look pretty perfect.
Beauty
If there is one thing I am more serious about than fashion, it’s beauty. I. Do. Not. Skimp.
I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin. I’m also 37, so I don’t need anything that is going to create or exacerbate any fine lines. These are picks that I swear by. Inside and out!
I’m including these in the beauty category because beauty rest is REAL, y’all! If I don’t get enough sleep, I feel uggo as sin. The more you sleep, the better you look. It’s just a fact! Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplements, as your mileage may vary! That being said, these ensure I get ample sleep and wake up feeling rested and hot!
I also cannot live without my Dyson Airwrap. I’ll make this quick because I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but it really is the only tool that can fully tame my frizz at home. It is a Holy Grail item for me.
I forgot to pack these when we went to Nashville, so I found myself buying subpar paper towels at the Broadway Whole Foods at 8 p.m. because I literally refuse to use a wash cloth on my face (and haven’t in decades). If you are an acne-prone girlie, these are an absolute must. Please discard the makeup wipes and go for these instead!
If you have any discoloration, dark circles, or a breakout that you actually want covered, this concealer is a must. I know not everyone wants a super bright undereye, but I live for that. It’s tea. So I order a shade or two lighter than my skin tone for undereyes. Order your normal shade for breakout coverage!
I have tried every pimple patch on planet earth, and these are by far the best. And yes, I leave my house with them on. I truly don’t give af! And neither should you!
This mascara is always best in class for a reason. I’ve tried so many designer mascaras, and almost every drugstore alternative under the sun, but this is THE. BEST. I get compliments all the time. And while my lashes are naturally on the longer side, this mascara is what takes them where they need to go. It’s natural looking — I’m talking zero clumps — and you lit can’t beat the price. Trust. TRUST!
Misc.
Perhaps kind of a random rec, but I can’t function without these earbuds. I even favor them to my Apple headphones. I use them constantly for editing, and listening to podcasts and Audible. They’re perfect for hot girl walks. And I immensely prefer these to the Pro version. I’ve tried other brands, but I always come back to these. They’re so good. (I actually prefer the non-noise cancelling version, but do whichever!)
And I know every influencer posts about this brand, but it really is the best probiotic imo! And I swear they’re not paying me to say that (I wish!!). It’s the perfect time to check them out. Again, proceed at your own risk — def do your own research + consult with your preferred medical professional before trying new supplements!
I also love this product (and this brand in general!). If you’re looking to stay well this season, this spray is worth a try!
