My Latest Amazon Purchases Worth Buying for Summer 2026

Sam Edelman Women’s Isella Sneakers

Low-profile sneakers are a great addition to your wardrobe because they are lightweight, classy, and pair well with pants or dresses for a sporty look.

I looked at a lot of sneakers before I landed on these tan suede sneakers. I love the color that goes with just about anything, and how sleek and fine they look. I never thought I’d call a sneaker elegant, but these sure are, and I am pleasantly surprised at how super comfy they are too!

COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD Radiant Cleansing Balm 

It’s not often I stick with a beauty product for years, but this Radiant Cleansing Balm is one I keep coming back to. It’s rich and buttery, and it melts away my makeup—including mascara—with ease. I’m also completely hooked on the scent. It smells like a luxurious spa and makes my nighttime routine feel like a treat. I’m always happy when I can snag it on sale!

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

Restocking on this all-time favorite of mine. This Liquid Exfoliant with Salicylic Acid is a facial polish for pores, wrinkles, and fine lines. It’s clear and a tad sticky, and you apply it at night on clean skin and wake up with gorgeous skin. Paula is the real deal and puts a lot of research into her products, so it’s no wonder this has such a cult following- it does what it says!

Karl Lagerfeld Short Ruched Sleeve Sheath Dress

A sheath dress is always flattering, and this one stood out to me with its crisp white background and cheerful floral print. It fits true to size and has just the right amount of stretch, making it soft and comfortable without feeling tight. I also love the pretty ruched sleeves. Add a pair of earrings and some strappy sandals, and you’re ready for everything from a garden party to a summer celebration.

 

Sam Edelman Poppy Sneakers

It’s always handy to have a pair of white sneakers, so since I was so happy with my tan Sam Edelman sneakers, I decided to see what they had in white. Boy, did I get lucky! These clean, minimalist white leather Poppy sneakers feel fresh, sporty, and feminine.

What I love most is the classy pebbled leather texture. It’s subtle and sophisticated, adding just the right amount of interest without feeling overdone—exactly my style.

NETVUE by Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder 

Here’s something my husband bought me on Amazon for Mother’s Day that I’m thrilled with. You know how I love watching the birds out my office window? This wireless Wi-Fi Smart Bird Feeder has a built-in HD solar-powered camera that automatically captures every visit from feathered friends, day and night.

You’re sent timely notifications to your phone so you never miss a moment. We’ve had so many cardinals this year already, and I’m hoping for a bluejay too. To be able to see them up close in detail, instead of at a distance for a fleeting moment, is magical!

 

Ultrasonic Retainer Cleaner

I wear Invisalign retainers at night, and over time, these plastic trays start to turn yellow. To keep them clean and free of bacteria, I bought this handy ultrasonic pulse cleaner. It’s the best retainer cleaning device I’ve ever used- keeps my retainers spic and span, and here’s the bonus…. You can also use this gadget to sanitize toothbrush heads, clean whitening trays and dentures, and make your jewelry sparkle!

 

NYDJ Chloe Capri Jeans in Optic White

There’s definitely a fine line between chic and frumpy when it comes to capris. For me, the trick is finding a pair that’s sleek and fitted and hits a little lower on the leg—not as short as old-school pedal pushers. These white denim NYDJ capris check all the boxes. They have nice structure, a bit of stretch, and a rolled hem you can adjust to get the length just right. They’re a great option when I don’t feel like wearing shorts or ankle pants.

 

INNERSY Women’s High Waist Seamless Underwear No Show Panties Full Coverage

I discovered these wonderful panties before a trip to Vietnam, where I knew the heat and humidity would be intense. They’re feather-light, silky-smooth, and a complete no-show under sundresses and shorts. They come in hipster or high-waisted styles (I love the high-waisted version) and are sold in packs of three. I usually buy the nude color, and they’ve become one of my all-time favorite Amazon finds.

 

Healing Your Aloneness

A couple of weeks ago, a friend came over in a panic. She was worrying obsessively, had trouble breathing, and felt very alone and out of control of her life. She has undergone a tremendous amount of family/personal stress in the last couple of years, and it had all built up. I recognized the problem immediately, explained what was happening, and bought her this book. It’s one of my favorites because it teaches you how to recognize your inner critic and use your loving adult self to reconnect with your inner child, creating calm and peace.

 

Karl Lagerfeld Women’s Mock Neck Sleeveless Midi Sheath Dress

I was getting a little tired of the same old dress colors, so when I saw this silky green one with the big, beautiful florals, I decided to order it. This dress feels unique and special – not just the color, but the cool mock neck, sleek cut, and sexy side slit. It’s alluring in a mature, modern way

Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking-In Spray – Detangling & Frizz Control

My hair always looks extra smooth and shiny after a trip to the salon, so the last time I was there I paid attention to what my stylist sprayed on before blow-drying, and this was it! It’s a fantastic multitasking product that detangles, tames frizz, and protects hair from heat while leaving it soft and glossy. Infused with coconut and camellia oils, it’s color-safe, vegan, and packed with 21 hair-loving benefits.

Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

I’ve been loving this all-mineral SPF 50 because it gives great sun protection without the heavy, chalky look that many mineral sunscreens have. It starts out white but blends beautifully into your skin, adapting to your tone for a natural, demi-matte finish with no white cast. It’s the perfect everyday sunscreen when you want a little coverage and serious protection.

Sam Edelman Women’s Camille 2 Heeled Mules

One more pair of shoes from guess who again?? These summery Sam Edelman raffia mules with the dainty kitten heel are just so pretty, I couldn’t resist. I’ve been wearing them with summer dresses, anything white, or light-wash jeans.

They add great texture, and that Breeze Blue is so dreamy, like the sky.
