In the Thick of Summer, These 30 Heavy Hitters Are All We Care About
Sponsor Content Created With Macy's
We're deep into summer, which means our wardrobes are already filled to the brim with everything we've been recommending for the last few months. But before we sign off on warm-weather must-haves and start fall shopping, there are just a few more things we want to squeeze in.
As always, we've been turning to Macy's to find everything from the perfect summer dress to the beauty items we absolutely need to try. This month, fiveBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors and two of our favorite fashion friends, Natalie Lim Suarez and Jasmine Crockett, told us what's currently in their cart, and we had to share. From cut-out dresses to frizz-free haircare finds, these are all the items you need to pick up before it's too late.
"Tie-up tops are still a huge trend, so for me, there's no better time than now to hop on the bandwagon for this suiting separate. What I love about this version is that it comes in crisp white cotton, which is ideal for surviving the summer heat in New York City. Plus, it has a crewneck, which balances out the amount of skin you're flaunting."
"In addition to investing in a great hair mask for the summer, I also love to retool my skincare routine. Summer in New York is extremely humid and always manages to make my skin break out in eczema patches and pimples. So at the start of the season, I always swap out my moisturizer for a more lightweight formula. This hydrating, oil-free cream is at the top of my wish list."
"Two things I'm hoping to do this summer: travel and make sure my makeup stays put through the heat. This travel-sized Urban Decay setting spray is the perfect product for that. This spray will ensure your makeup lasts all night long sans touch-ups."
"In summer, I'm always deciding whether or not to bring a cardigan with me in case it gets cold at night. Since this one is crochet, it's a great choice for those moments because the open weaving keeps it from being too hot. It would look good over a bikini or your favorite summer dress."
"This ultra-luxe cream from Shiseido is all I'll be wearing this season. It's packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like raspberry extract and rose apple leaf extract to help skin maintain its elasticity and protect it from damaging heat and other environmental stressors."
"Whenever I need to do my makeup in less than 15 minutes, I'll use a Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow Stick. The shade Incandescent really does it for me because it's the perfect, shimmery, rose-gold hue for summer. The formula also lasts extra long, so it can easily transition from day to night."
"This is such a flattering one-piece bikini, and it feels super elegant. I would wear it to the pool with a white sarong wrapped around my waist or pair it with white linen trousers to wear to dinner. A solid white swimsuit is a must, and the halter neckline feels so beautiful."
"During the summer, I swap my cream blush for powder blush. This one really lasts all day long. I think a rosy cheek gives everyone a super-healthy, happy summer look! This one from Laura Mercier has just the right amount of pigment, and all you need is a little bit on the apples of your cheeks!"
