Universal Thread Slouchy Bucket Shoulder Bag
Garcia says this brown suede bucket bag walks the line of trendy and timeless. There’s a huge interior pocket for easy access to your phone, keys and other essentials, plus a magnetic closure to keep everything secure. Did we mention this Target find is on sale for Circle Week?

Pavoi 14K Gold Plated Layering Necklaces
The dainty, layered necklace look is so in right now — but nailing it without getting your chains tangled is a challenge. Garcia calls these hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant necklace sets her secret to getting the look.
“All the styling work is done for you!” Garcia praises. “Wear these with a simple T-shirt or tank top or dress it up with a little black dress and heels.”
Lands’ End Facesaver Sun Hat
Heading into the warmer months, skin protection (especially for our face!) is so important. A no-brainer way to protect your face from the sun? This stylish, wide-brim sun hat with a UPF finish of 50+. It has an adjustable interior and tapered back, so whether you’re driving or relaxing on a beach chair, it won’t smush against the seat!
Old Navy Faux-Leather Loafer Mule Shoes for Women
Old Navy Faux-Suede Loafers for Men
Loafers are a staple for every wardrobe and a huge shoe trend for the season, per Garcia. We found an under-$20 option for men and women at Old Navy. Reviewers can't believe how comfortable the women's slip-on-and-go mules are, thanks to a cushioned footbed. The men's style also marries style with comfort, with a slip-on design in faux suede.
"I love that they give a polished, quiet luxury look to your outfit and they give a refined vibe no matter what you pair it with," Garcia adds. "Jeans, slacks, shorts, dresses, skirts — anything!"
Steve Madden Extra Capacity Leather Wallet
In case you missed it, Amazon's Big Spring Sale is happening now, and this men's genuine leather wallet from Steve Madden is a favorite find at 50% off. It features a slim design that has nine card slots, plus a flip-up clear ID tab. Whether you're upgrading your own wallet or snagging a Father's Day or graduation gift, you'll want to add this to your cart before it sells out.

Hanes Cushioned Absolute Active Ankle Socks (Pack of 4)
Let's settle the crew vs. low-rise socks debate once and for all — these newly launched socks from Hanes are the best of both worlds, meeting in the middle at the ankle for a halfway point that peeks out just the right amount in a pair of sneakers. Now is a perfect time to refresh your top drawer, since the four-pack of cushioned socks is included in Amazon's fashion deals.
Flaire & Co. Water-Resistant Baby Everyday Hoops
With the weather warming up, accessories that can take the heat (and sweat) that come with the season are a must-have. These slightly chunky, water-resistant hoops from Flaire & Co. are the perfect everyday earrings you can shower, swim and sweat in without fear of tarnishing.
Uniqlo Round Ultra Mini Bag
Honey, I shrank Uniqlo's viral bag! This "ultra mini" version of the brand's bestselling round mini bag can be worn multiple ways or styled as a crossbody, belt bag or shoulder bag.
