Starting with a new favorite destination for the summer-dress obsessed, moving onto the choice TV subscription service for streaming Suni Lee getting those golds, and ending with an excellent under-$100 deal on a pair of Ray-Bans (courtesy of that Nordstrom Anniversary Sale we mentioned earlier!), these 29 popular purchases are an offbeat ode to summer. Make the most of your remaining sunshine month by shopping the best-selling medley ahead — there are plenty of Amazon hidden gems and very good vibrators to be had, too.

Eau de Juice BeachPlease Eau De Parfum
Our Deputy Director, Elizabeth Buxton, swears by this sunscreen-scented $25 perfume — so much so, she made it one of her July MVPs (and it made it to the top of the bestselling charts). She says, "I was not disappointed by the first spritz. Waves of smooth vanilla and creamy coconuts cut by juicy pineapple washed over me. It was as though Bobbi Brown Beach grew up and gave birth to a zestier Gen-Z Beach baby. I spray it on every morning before sitting down to work and often catch myself absentmindedly dragging my wrists across my nose to catch a whiff of what can only be described as 'vacation in a bottle."

You can shop the brand or on Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and beyond.

Ray-Ban 50mm Wayfarer Sunglasses
For big events like Nordstrom's long-awaited Anniversary sale, the Shopping team editors like to share a few top picks we're adding to cart ourselves. This year, our Deputy Director, Liz Buxton's cheap Ray Ban find was (and still is) the star of the show.
"I do not sleep on an under-$100 Ray-Ban deal — especially when 100%-UV-protective lenses are involved," she said. "These very classic Wayfarer frames are going to be my go-to pair for fall; I’m envisioning jeans-white-tee-and-blazer-with-boot lewks for days."

Miracle-Gro Sticks
What first started as a bestselling MVP from our Market Beauty Editor Karina Hoshikawa has now become a hot topic over on our most useful Amazon products story. According to reviewers, these magic spikes don't just revive your plant buddy, it also keeps them alive and well for years to come. One reviewer explains, "We've only had this in the soil for a few weeks, but I can see a noticeable difference in the color of our plants. They've taken a bit of a downturn during the winter months and these Plant Food Spikes seem to have brought back some of the color — I think it will help these to thrive year-round."

In our round-up of passionately reviewed summer dresses, this Treasure & Bond rushed t-shirt dress was labeled "The Miracle Worker." Thanks to its strategically-placed ruching, this dress actually helped restore a reviewer’s confidence in herself. "I’m middle-aged with children, so [my] body has many, many imperfections," she said. "I had no expectations for this dress when I purchased it. I was greatly surprised at how forgiving it really is. The ruched side really helps to hide those imperfections."
