This list is for my girls who want that effortless, beachy mermaid energy. Think dreamy bikinis, shimmery textures, ocean-inspired colors, and the cutest throw-on coverups for walking from the beach to a sunset drink. Everything here gives that “just swam in the ocean and now I’m glowing” vibe — pieces that are flattering, fun, and perfect for vacation, pool days, or pretending you live in a coastal town for the weekend. If Ariel had a summer wardrobe, this would be it.

This is your linen, slick bun, oversized button-down, cool girl summer. Think: Morning beach walks. Golden hour dinners. Salt in your hair. Neutral, linen, slightly European, slightly Hamptons, fully main character.

Butterfly clips. Denim minis. Glitter boas. Chunky platforms. This is your early 2000s Hilary Duff main character moment — but make it affordable. I curated the best budget-friendly Y2K pieces that scream Lizzie McGuire: scarf tops, cargo minis, baby tees, platform boots, tiny shoulder bags, rhinestone belts, and all the sparkly accessories.

Colorful prints. Playful patterns. Pajamas you can wear outside if you’re bold enough (I respect it). This drop is giving cozy luxury without the luxury price tag. If you love: ✨ Matching sets ✨ Statement prints ✨ Elevated pajama energy ✨ Resort-core but make it Target This is the edit. I pulled the pieces that feel the most wearable, giftable, and actually worth grabbing before they sell out.

If it’s soft, oversized, and makes me feel like the main character in a snowy rom-com, it’s in this list. These are my ride-or-die Aerie winter sets — the ones I actually wear on repeat for coffee runs, couch days, airport fits, and “I’m pretending I have my life together” moments. Think: cozy but flattering. Slouchy but still cute. Effortless but intentional. ENJOY

Polka dots are having their little main character moment and I am fully participating. This list is all my favorite dot-coded finds — from subtle, chic “French girl energy” to bold, playful statement pieces. It’s giving vintage. It’s giving flirty. It’s giving “I romanticize my life on purpose.” If you’ve been influenced by literally one Pinterest board, this one’s for you.

These are the pajamas that make you feel soft, feminine, and slightly delusional in the best way. Matching sets, silky moments, cozy winter vibes — all approved for sleepovers, self-care nights, and spiraling while journaling. Hot girls prioritize cute sleepwear. I don’t make the rules.

Target said “soft western” and I said say LESS. This list is all my favorite pieces from the western-inspired drop — think boots, denim, flirty tops, and that effortless cool-girl ranch energy (even if the only horse you’ve seen recently is on TikTok). Perfect for fall layering, country concert fits, or pretending you live on a ranch in Connecticut.

If it smells like vacation and makes my skin look like I just got back from Hawaii, it’s in this list. These are my favorite Kopari beauty staples — glowy body care, hydrating essentials, and products that make you feel like a clean girl but in a beachy way. She’s glossy. She’s sunkissed. She moisturizes.

This is my “I drink water and mind my business” routine. Everything in here is focused on glow, hydration, and that clean, dewy, reflective skin moment. No 42-step chaos — just products that actually make your skin look expensive. It’s giving soft glam. It’s giving hydrated. It’s giving “what highlighter are you wearing?” (none.)

If it’s in this list, it has survived the purse test. These are my go-to lippies — the ones I reapply in the car, wear to dinner, throw on for “no makeup” days, and panic if I can’t find. Glossy, plump, neutral, spicy — she’s versatile. I’m a simple, little-to-no-makeup girlie… but my lips? They’re doing the most. Here are my latest LIPPY obsessions. Consider these to be at the bottom of your purse at all times
