Steve Madden has been one of my favorite brands of shoes for years. I’ve worn them since high school – crazy! We’ve both grown and evolved over the years and they still make some of my favorite shoes. This year I’ve been living in their sandals and wanted to share some of my favorites that are on sale right now. Currently 25% off but they gave me a discount code for 30% – ASHLEY for 30% off any sale styles.
4th of July has always been one of my favorite, if not favorite, holidays. It’s such a fun summer day… and I can’t believe it’s less than a month away. Our neighborhood goes all out for the holiday and does a huge parade in the morning. I ordered this kids outfits yesterday and came across so many cute options I wanted to share in a blog post.
One of my favorite stores right now is Aerie, they have everything from swimsuits, to active wear, to lounge to cute summer tops. I’ve been shopping there for a few years but really love what I’ve purchased recently I wanted to share a round up of what I own and love as well as what I have my eyes on.
Swimsuits
This year I’ve been all about a good one piece. My time at the pool is the opposite of relaxing – I’m in the water with the kids practicing their swimming so I’ve looked for comfortable one pieces that have enough coverage and are still cute. I’ve purchased a few from Aerie over the last few months – this ribbed leopard suit with the cut out is really fun. I think this one shoulder scalloped suit looks so much more expensive than it’s $36 tag. I just ordered this cute floral print.
Bike Shorts
Over the past few years I’ve really leaned into the bike short trend. At first I didn’t think they were my style but then I realized they’re just short leggings – waaaay more practical for the summer months. Aerie is always my go-to place to purchase them. I have several pairs from previous years that are no longer in stock but I just orderedthis floral pair. I also love that they make them in different lengths – something for everyone.
Tops
I purchased this little $18 smocked tank a couple months back and think it’s so cute for summer. It’s slightly cropped so I wear it with high waisted pants or shorts. I ended up getting it in this floral print too – and it comes in other colors and prints. Great top for under $20.
Lounge
This might be what Aerie is most known for – their loungewear is AMAZING. I’ve purchased a lot from them over the years. They have the softest sweatshirts, sweaters and pants. I purchased these cozy corded shorts last month and I’ll even wear them out.
Happy June! This is always one of my favorite months… I love the start of summer and everything that comes with it. I can’t believe how fast May flew by and I’m sure this month will be even faster. The kids have started summer camp two days a week and we have a lot of other fun activities lined up. Sharing my top five sellers from last month today.
Mesh Striped Sweater – I love how unique this sweater is! It’s light weight and perfect for spring and summer. I’ve worn it with a white cami under, but I think it will be really cute over a swimsuit too. It’s under $100 and runs a little big.
Agolde Parker Shorts – my favorite denim shorts for the past few years. I think they’re worth the price, especially if you factor in cost per wear. My tip is to wash them as little as possible and let them air dry! They will get too distressed if you put them in the dryer/wash them a lot.
Beige Outdoor Rug – I got this last year for our patio and love how it brightens up the space. The colors are soft and neutral and it’s easy to clean too.
Steve Madden Drips Sandals – the best throw and go sandals. I’ve been wearing these so much lately – everywhere from the pool to preschool drop off to errands, etc! They’re comfy and go with everything.
Bp Romper – I always love a romper in the summer. This one is a great price + it’s comfy, light weight and comes in a few other prints. True to size!
I can’t believe it’s almost Memorial Day! I always love this holiday and see it as the unofficial start to summer. Beach days, afternoons at the pool, BBQ’s and other fun events are right around the corner which means it’s time for a refresh on some of our summer staples. I recently placed a big Walmart+ delivery order that came as soon as same day for new sunscreen (both for adults and kids), swim diapers for Wilder, juice boxes and bubbles (+ some other household essentials we’re always needing).
I’ve been a Walmart+ member for 8 months now and continue to use the membership weekly to make my life easier. I can’t tell you how many times I realize we’re low on something one night (like bread, peanut butter, cheese, etc), place an order and receive it before I even need it the next day.
The best thing about Walmart+ is the speed! Depending on what you need and how fast you need it, Walmart+ offers a variety of delivery and shipping methods:
I need it now – you can get with Express Delivery and as a W+ member the delivery fee will be waved (but you still need to pay the $10 express fee).
I need it soon – you can get it with Free Delivery from your store, as soon as same day ($35 minimum restrictions apply).
I need it tomorrow – you can choose from hundreds of thousands of items, shipped to your home with Free Shipping no order minimum required (make sure to select W+ eligible products – excludes freight & Marketplace items).
Assortment – free delivery from your store is not just for groceries, but for almost anything they sell in store. Unlike other grocery delivery memberships, you don’t have to buy from different places if you need, on top of your groceries, items like: a birthday gift, a toy, new swimsuit, socks, batteries, etc.
Walmart+ membership lasts for a year and it costs $98 (broken down that’s only $2 per week – annual plan only. Calculated based on 52 weeks) or $12.95 per month. As a Walmart+ member you get Walmart+ FREE SHIPPING from Walmart.com with no order minimum (excludes freight & Marketplace items) as well as free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (restrictions apply) on groceries and more as soon as same day!
Here’s a little glimpse into my most recent order of summer favorites:
More benefits:
Member prices on fuel – Walmart+ also saves you 5¢ per gallon at Walmart & Murphy stations. You can also access the member pricing at Sam’s Club fuel centers.
Mobile Scan & Go – Walmart+ also offers a mobile scan & go so you can scan items with your phone as you shop then go to checkout. Just scan, pay & be on your way!
We’ve been spending a lot of time at the pool swimming with the kids recently. They finished a 10 day swim program last month so we’ve been practicing as much as possible. With all the time in the pool I’ve come to love one piece swimsuits and found five I absolutely love and wanted to share. They’re all true to size and under $100, most are under $50.
