Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. A flowy ruffled-hem dress your washing machine will be tired of seeing because of how often you'll end up wearing (and washing) it.
2. A baguette ring to add some sparkle and shine to your fresh mani that looks like a million bucks.
This is my most beloved ring at the moment and I've wanted one in this exact style for some time now. I love the asymmetrical placement of the stones; it adds some character. It honestly looks fab when I wear it on any finger — thumb, index, middle finger (it truly doesn't matter, it looks good ALWAYS). I've washed my hands a bunch with it too and I've seen no signs of wear and tear. This is a jewelry ~steal~.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes 5–9 and seven finishes/styles).
3. A Harry Styles-inspired necklace engraved with "we'll be alright" from the Fine Line album in Harry's handwriting. Treat yourself with ~kindness~ by gifting yourself this cool jewelry piece.
Le Petite Sprout is an AAPI-owned and woman-owned small business located in Brea, California.
Promising review: "It’s so cute! I love it so much, the quality is amazing, and it came so fast! This is probably my favorite thing I own now. It also came with some cute things, which I adore! I would buy from this shop again, and if you’re considering ordering this, do it! 🤍" —Isa Mancilla
Get it from Le Petite Sprout on Etsy for $28.99+ (available in silver and gold and with extenders).
4. A pair of Abercrombie '90s high-rise straight jeans so you'll always have a staple pair of denim you can rely on. These will look good with everything — and we mean everything.
My colleague Abby Kass loves these:
"After two years of only wearing jeans a handful of times, I knew it was time to invest in a great pair. I had heard SO much about these jeans on TikTok and decided to see what the hype was all about. And let me tell you, they are SO worth it. I ended up getting the curve style (because it has two extra inches and fit my waist better), but I love how these jeans look. They're a classic style you can really wear with anything. I've only had them for a couple of weeks, and I've worn them in both casual and dressier settings. I've already gone back to get a second pair in black. That's how good these are. These do sell out fast, so don't delay if you want to add these to your closet."
Promising review: "THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO PURCHASE THESE!! I'm obsessed with these jeans. I'm about to get all the colors. They fit SO WELL. I am 5'4" and got the regulars. They are the perfect length to wear with heels. If you are more a sneaker person, get the short length. I am so proud of Abercrombie. Whoever is behind the fit science of these jeans I salute you. Great job! " —Abercrombie Customer
Get it from Abercrombie for $99 (available in sizes 23–37, extra short, short, regular, long, and extra-long, 15 washes, and in a curve style).
5. A stretchy bodice midi dress for any warm weather outing when you want something light and airy that you won't be uncomfortable in after an hour.
6. A pair of printed full-length leggings because no matter what time of year it is, it's always appropriate to wear leggings.
7. A tie-dye loungewear set so comfy cozy, you'll wonder how you've lived this long without this cutie in your closet.
8. A daisy-covered cardigan to set the next outfit you piece together into full bloom. This will instantly add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit.
Promising review: "This sweater is SUPER cute, good quality, and fits like a glove! Overall, this sweater is definitely great for the spring time, and the material is very cozy and soft!" —Maya Herring
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in one size and seven colors).
9. A one-shoulder cow print top with just the right amount of stretch so you can wear it all day and all night and not feel constricted. It's ~utterly~ perfect.
This top is so comfy cozy and adds a nice pop of pattern to my otherwise neutral wardrobe (this is still a neutral LOL). I've gotten so many compliments on this top and rightfully so — it's fun, supplies killer Y2K vibes, and is all-around a chic wardrobe staple. I love the fit so much I may buy it in more patterns.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and seven patterns).
10. A two-piece set if you want getting dressed in the morning to be as effortless as possible.
After writing about this set so many times in BuzzFeed posts (and reading the glowing reviews of course), I just had to see what the hype was about. I ordered this in pink for a recent trip to California and it was the comfiest and cutest outfit I've ever worn on a trip. I honestly want to order it in more colors that's how much I love it. It was so effortless to throw on and style — just add a cute bag, some sunnies, and sneakers for a cute and ready-to-go 'fit.

13. A faux wrap one-piece bathing suit so you can be the chicest babe on the beach.
14. A flowing baby doll blouse in case you could always use something that pairs well with jeans.
15. An adorable lace mini dress that's sure to fit like a glove with its adjustable spaghetti straps and tiered skirt.
16. A ruffled and strapless maxi dress with major Bridgerton vibes you may just be the diamond of the season at your next gathering.

"Found this dress through a BuzzFeed article and couldn't resist the white sunflowers. The material is stretchy and just fits your body so well. I didn't have any problems with it being see through. The length is cute, the buttons are fake so they stay uniform all the way down, and it's stretchy across the back of the bodice so bigger-chested people would love this. My mom and I have completely different body types and the large fits us both amazingly! Definitely going to try to order as many prints as I can!" —Courtney Clark

The neoprene fabric makes it flexible to be able to fit a ton of necessities inside, like my wallet, keys, some treats for my pup, sunglasses, and even a power bank to recharge my phone. If you're looking for a cute, sleek, and functional fanny pack — get this one.

24. A flowy, ruffled, V-neck swing dress that undoubtedly would be next to the word "flawless" in the dictionary. I mean this with a clutch bag and heels? Iconic.
25. A drawstring bodycon dress in case you're feeling a more flirty look that you can still wear under a solid denim jacket or cardigan.
Promising reviews: "I purchased this dress last minute for my birthday and absolutely loved it... I received a lot of compliments and felt confident wearing this dress. It wasn’t sheer at all and the material is very soft. It hugged all my curves and showed my shape. Definitely will purchase in other colors!" —laniya
"This dress is A-mazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas... To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" —Tonya

Can fit my phone, lip gloss, mascara, blush, brow pencil, bill folder, keys, even my small battery-powered fan and I’ll still have space left. I like to wear it on my shoulder, the strap is the perfect length. I also love the bean shape; it looks luxe and gives it character. Material isn’t cheap at all. Overall a gorgeous addition to my collection and well worth the money." —Nelly
