We've been keeping tabs on the Prime Day markdowns shoppers are adding to their carts, and these bestselling picks are worth grabbing before the prices go back up: |
-
So, sleeveless dresses and tops just aren't your thing, no matter the weather? Then you'll want to pick up this cable knit polo sweater. The preppy-chic style screams stealth wealth, and it's versatile enough to wear with skirts, shorts, trousers and jeans.
- Whether for summer strolls or dinners al fresco, this portable neck fan is a summer must-have. It weighs under 10 ounces, doesn't make much noise and ensures a cool breeze is never far away.
-
If a stuck lid is all that's stopping you from indulging in your favorite pickles or pasta sauce, invest in this genius jar opener tool ASAP. It's designed for folks with weak hands, and perfectly grips metal tops to unseal them with ease.
-
Good news: You don't need to spend a small fortune on comfortable footwear this season. These stylish, supportive walking sandals have a cushioned sole with superior arch support, which earned them a seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.

I've been eyeing Prime Day discounts over the last three days, trying to decide what I actually want to buy. With just a few hours left to shop, these are the final picks I'm pulling the trigger on: |
-
I can't stand shoes that pinch and squeeze, so these cute, comfy sneakers are an easy yes for me. I love that they are a little more special than a plain white pair, but will still match everything in my wardrobe.
-
Yes, I'm probably one of the last people on earth who doesn't own an air fryer, but that's changing today. I'm picking up this powerful Chefman model to cook up delicious summer dinners without having to turn on the oven (and turn my apartment into a sauna in the process!).
-
The sun makes my skin incredibly dry, so I'll be slathering myself in this luxurious shower oil every morning. It transforms into a milky body wash when mixed with water and leaves your skin smooth and supple once you rinse it off. Yes, please!
-
And before you call me selfish, I'm not just shopping for myself! I'm blessing my boyfriend with a pair of these handsome Under Armour shorts that one shopper called the "perfect pair of shorts for everyday wear."

Of all the dresses I tried on at Walmart, I loved this striped maxi dress the most. It's made from breathable cotton, it hits below the knee but doesn't feel dowdy, and the color combo is so pretty without feeling predictable.
-
This halter design is one of those dresses that's easily glammed up with heels, jewelry and a bold lip, but also just as well-suited for more casual occasions with flats and a denim jacket. The color is just as stunning IRL as it is on the website, and the neckline is really flattering.
-
I don't have July 4 plans just yet, but when I do, I know I'll be wearing this festive all-cotton number. It's red, white and blue in the chicest way possible, and the straps are adjustable, so you can customize them for a comfortable fit. Yes, there are pockets, and no, it's not totally see-through.
-
Perfect for settings that require a bit more modesty, I was instantly sold on this printed dress with elbow-length sleeves. I really appreciate that I feel fully clothed in it, and the pattern doesn't overwhelm my frame. And again, another 100% cotton style that's naturally breathable ... and machine washable too!

My apartment has air conditioning, but it's actually this virtually silent tower fan that saves me on hot summer days and nights. You see, I just can't get comfortable when it's freezing cold because the AC is blasting. Instead, I rely on this sleek blower to keep me comfortably cool indoors, even when the temps outside are soaring. I love it so much, I currently own three — one in the living room and another pair for my bedrooms. Read my full review here.
