Jackery Portable Power Station Is Back at Its Prime Day Price, Now Amazon Wants to Clear Out Stock
Prime Day may have passed nearly two weeks ago but summer is not a time for Amazon to take a break. If you're looking for a portable power station for van life or camping, there is no better time than now: Jackery Explorer models are very popular and they're currently on sale at Amazon. Today, the Jackery portable power station Explorer 300 is an all-time low at Amazon, dropping to just $169 from its usual $259 price. The 35% discount puts it at the lower end for power stations available on the market for both planned holidays and unexpected power outages. See at Amazon The Jackery Explorer 300 boasts a 293Wh lithium-ion battery pack housed in a light and compact body and weighs only 7 pounds. Even though it's small, you have plenty of power which is strong enough to charge essentials such as smartphones, cameras, drones, laptops, and small appliances when you're out of the house. Six devices are chargeable at the same time by users because of a wide variety of ports: two pure sine wave AC ports for continuous charging, a USB-C PD 60W port that is both input and output, a Quick Charge 3.0 port, a common USB-A, and a DC car port. One of the major advantages is how fast the Explorer 300 can recharge: Using a standard wall plug and the USB-C PD charging input, you can charge up to 80% in just two hours from flat. Road life is taken care of by charging the power station from your car plug, or (if you own a Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panel) by topping off on sunshine. Because it is battery-powered and not gasoline, there are no fumes, no sound, and no upkeep to worry about, no complicated installation to navigate. Put it alongside the campsite, in a van, or in your living room in the event of a blackout. With summer in full swing, Amazon's current deal won't last long. See at Amazon

13 Linen Clothes I'm Packing for a Month in France
After nearly 15 years of traveling around the South of France in the summer, there's one thing I tell everyone to pack for their own séjours: linen. Piles of it, preferably. It's the perfect fabric for surviving the scorching summers in a country where air conditioning and iced drinks can be hard to come by. The lightweight fiber's natural breathability and moisture-wicking properties are ideal for keeping cool, whether you're exploring the produce markets of Aix-en-Provence or the beach club scene in St. Tropez. Plus, linen clothes are supremely packable, given their soft shape and thinner weave, so you can fit weeks' worth of clothing into a small bag. I managed to pack a month's worth of clothes into my carry-on luggage for my upcoming trip, including several of the items on this list. Below, I've rounded up the best French-inspired linen finds at Amazon, several of which are currently on sale, up to 40 percent off. From ultra-versatile dresses to trendy two-piece sets, these breezy picks will help you channel the casual-yet-polished aesthetic that the French have mastered. Best Overall Picks Cider Linen Boat Neck Backless Top Amazon Boat neck tops are a timeless staple of French style, first popularized by Coco Chanel in the 1930s as a tribute to the French naval uniforms of the previous century. I love the backless, knotted design of this slightly-cropped top from Cider, which offers much-appreciated ventilation, particularly given France's aversion to air conditioning. The ties in the back add an elegant touch, and better yet, can be adjusted to find your perfect fit. As someone who prefers to go braless, I'm always looking for lightweight tops that aren't too sheer—this one delivers with breathable double lining in the front, even in the lighter colors. Given the affordable price point, I'm tempted to stock up on both the white and black versions, which I'm envisioning with high-waisted trousers and sandals for a breezy day-to-night look. Shy Velvet Linen Maxi Dress Amazon Minimalist, airy dresses like this linen maxi dress are the foundation of my summer wardrobe. I'll wear them over a swimsuit at the beach or with sneakers for a stroll through the morning market, then slip into heeled sandals and my Great Aunt's vintage jewelry for dinner in town. The breathable linen fabric is a lifesaver on hot days, yet has just enough weight to wear in shoulder seasons as well; on cooler evenings, this maxi dress looks great layered under a cropped sweater. It's available in a rainbow of 16 shades, all topped off with black contrast trim and travel-friendly details, like adjustable spaghetti straps and hidden side pockets. Faleave Cotton‑linen Palazzo Pants Amazon Linen pants are my airport uniform of choice in the summer, thanks to their laidback-yet-polished look and pajama-like comfort. These wide-leg pants are a perfect dupe for my favorite pair from Reformation—except you could buy numerous pairs of these for the low $30 price. (Tempting, given that they come in 15 colors, from neutral khaki to rosy pink.) The elastic waistband is easily adjustable, so you can comfortably indulge in the miracle that is the French cheese cart when dessert rolls around. Plus, deep side pockets offer plenty of space for storing your phone, keys, or sunglasses while you're out on the town. Anrabess Drawstring Linen Shorts Amazon A day trip to Calanques National Park is all but mandatory on a trip to Marseille, and these lightweight linen shorts are perfect for keeping cool while hiking down the limestone cliffs to the gleaming turquoise swimming holes below. Linen is naturally moisture-wicking and quick-drying, so it's a chic alternative for athleisure, which is generally frowned upon in France. They're available in 13 different summer-ready shades, including red-brown and classic navy. Idealsanxun Drawstring Linen Midi Skirt Amazon After spotting this calf-length linen skirt on sale, I immediately added the beige and black styles to my cart. I'll be living in this all summer long, pairing it with tank tops or wearing it over my favorite one-piece swimsuits so I can easily shimmy out of it for a quick swim between courses at Tuba Club, a dreamy seaside hotel and restaurant in Les Goudes. The skirt's elastic waistband and modest side slit ensure comfort and full range of movement, and there's even a silky lining for added coverage. Plus, as a petite traveler, I'm a sucker for bottoms I can toss in my suitcase without a trip to the tailor first, and this midi-length skirt is ultra-flattering. Idealsanxun Linen Cropped Tank Amazon For a full linen 'fit, the Idealsanxun skirt boasts a matching cropped tank that comes in 19 colors—and they're all on sale. It's a steal for the price, considering that you can wear it two ways: forwards for a more streamlined look or backwards to show off the chic button-down design (which is decorative rather than functional). Aeneontrue Linen Wide-leg Pants Amazon These ankle-length trousers offer a more sophisticated alternative to drawstring linen pants, thanks to a stylish button closure and flattering cropped fit. Luckily, they don't sacrifice comfort, as there's an elastic waistband on the back that makes them easy to pull on. Two side pockets offer a convenient place to stash small travel essentials as well, like hotel keys or earbuds. Just note that the lighter shades tend to be somewhat sheer. Anrabess Matching Linen Set Amazon It doesn't get more effortless than this trendy two-piece set, consisting of flowy palazzo pants and a square-neck tank that you can throw on for long travel days or afternoons of sightseeing. The boxy top looks just like my favorite linen tank from Reformation, with a slightly looser fit that allows for plenty of air flow on stuffy days. I love the versatility of matching sets, as you can maximize your outfit potential by wearing the pieces together or separately. I'd also pair the top with denim shorts or a silk midi skirt, while the pull-on pants—which feature a stretchy elastic waistband and two side pockets—would look great with a vintage scarf top. Given the low price point, you could even buy two colors (there are a whopping 17 vibrant hues available) to mix and match the tops and bottoms. Marie Mapis Linen Tote Bag Amazon Crafted from 100 percent French flax linen, this ultra-chic tote reminds me of a fabulous home goods shop in Marseille, Maison Empereur, where I picked up a handful of linen tote bags on my last visit. Soft yet sturdy, linen bags like this are durable enough to hold a laptop, books, and other travel essentials, yet they can be tucked into your pocket when empty. I carry one at all times while traveling, in case I pick up picnic supplies or souvenirs during the day and need a stylish, more sustainable bag to carry them in. Siliteelon Linen Button‑down Shirt Amazon Everyone should own at least one linen button-down shirt, especially if you're headed to France in the summertime, where it seems to be the uniform of choice. They're incredibly versatile, and this cotton-linen blend top comes in 23 different colors and sizes ranging from XS to 5X. Wear it open over a bathing suit or partially buttoned with high-waisted shorts or trousers. For a nostalgic twist, take a cue from Jean Seberg in Bonjour Tristesse and grab one in light blue, then tie a knot at your waist with the shirt ends. Chouyatou Adjustable Spaghetti Strap Midi Dress Amazon Flirty, feminine dresses like this midi style always wind up on constant repeat in my summer wardrobe, whether I'm visiting vineyards or lingering over a long lunch with friends. I'm all about sleeveless styles and breezy fits to avoid potential sweat stains, and this A-line dress delivers on both fronts. Plus, it has side pockets and adjustable straps (that can be tied in a sweet little bow) for added convenience. LNX Linen High-waisted Trousers Amazon Another irresistible option for my fellow linen pants lovers: these cropped trousers. I'm eyeing the adorable striped patterns, which give me classic beach club vibes. The elastic waistband and dual side pockets make these a great travel pant, especially given how easy they are to pack. Just note that this cotton-linen blend looks best after a quick steam to smooth out any creases. Idealsanxun Linen Blazer Amazon For a more elevated alternative to a button-down, a soft linen blazer adds structure and style to any outfit. Wear it over a mini dress or a tank top and wide-leg pants for an instant outfit upgrade, complete with two handy pockets for extra storage. I love the summery look of the three-quarter-length sleeves and the relaxed fit, which adds polish without looking too fancy. Love a great deal?

This Under-$40 Matching Skirt Set Has Been My Go-to Summer Outfit—Plus, 10 More I'm Eyeing for My Next Trip
As I prep for two back-to-back summer trips, one to France and one through Italy, there's one outfit that's already earned a permanent spot in my suitcase: the Prettygarden Matching Skirt Set I found on Amazon for under $40. I've worn it on repeat this season, from dinners in NYC to beach strolls in the Hamptons, and it continues to check all the boxes. It's breezy, flattering, and effortlessly easy to dress up or down; I'll pair it with sandals and sunglasses for day and swap in gold hoops and heels for night. What I really love, though, is the versatility. The set easily breaks into separates: the skirt with a simple white tee for a casual look, or the top with denim shorts or linen trousers. Matching sets like this one make travel packing easier and smarter since you get a full outfit with built-in styling options that can take you from morning coffee runs to golden-hour dinners. After falling in love with the Prettygarden 2-piece Skirt Set, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole and found even more matching skirt sets on Amazon that are just as travel-ready—and under $50. Whether you're planning a beach escape, city weekend, or just want to refresh your warm-weather wardrobe, these are the sets I'm eyeing for summer travel and beyond. This crochet set is a no-brainer for beach days, whether you're heading to a resort pool or a coastal lunch spot. It's a chic cover-up and looks especially pulled together layered over a swimsuit with slides and sunglasses. At $15 per piece, it feels like a designer find at a budget-friendly price. I instantly pictured this vest set at a café table in Paris—cappuccino, croissant, and all. The monochromatic buttons elevate the tailored silhouette, while the soft fabric keeps it wearable even on warmer days. Great for exploring city streets or hopping between museums, this one brings polish to any travel itinerary. With its vibrant blue hue and airy fabric, this matching set from my favorite Amazon label was made for summer events abroad—think garden parties, sunset dinners, or even an alfresco wedding. It packs light, resists wrinkling, and feels breezy even in the heat, making it an ideal companion for Mediterranean destinations. Several reviewers rave about this two-piece skirt set's comfort, including one who wore it to a bridal shower, 'felt like I was in pajamas.' It's tailored enough to wear to a daytime celebration or dinner reservation, but soft and flexible for travel days, too. A smart pick when you need one outfit to do it all. With its maxi skirt and sleeveless vest, the Elleven 2-piece Set is versatile and breathable, ideal for countryside walks, day trips, or even a casual office setting abroad. The fabric is moisture-wicking, which helps on long days in the sun, and both pieces can be restyled with other staples in your carry-on. I'd pair the skirt with a tee for daytime, or wear the vest open over a tank and jeans, too. This halter skirt set leans flirty in the best way—with its tie-back top, twist-front detail, and flowy maxi skirt, it's the kind of look that fits right in at rooftop bars or coastal resorts. The open back and lightweight fabric also make it a great pick for tropical destinations or warm-weather nights. The Exlura Matching Skirt Set is one of those grab-and-go outfits that make travel dressing effortless. The relaxed silhouette is polished without being fussy, and the knit texture adds just enough dimension to feel styled. Wear it to the airport with sneakers, or dress it up with sandals and a cardigan for sightseeing or café hopping. Another Prettygarden pick, this soft, breathable, and cut from lightweight viscose matching set is perfect for hot, humid destinations. The midi skirt features a subtle back slit for movement, while the simple top balances comfort and structure. I'd pack this one for city travel or nights out, paired with low heels and a woven clutch. This bold yellow skirt set brings a pop of color to your travel wardrobe and takes up almost no space in a suitcase. The asymmetric tube top and mini skirt combo make it ideal for warm getaways where you want to look stylish but stay cool. It's playful, trendy, and made for vacation photos. With a relaxed fit and smooth, drapey fabric, this matching set walks the line between loungewear and daywear—a reliable option for long-haul flights, casual sightseeing, or laid-back dinners. The crew neckline keeps it clean and classic, while the vibrant colorways add interest without overpowering the look. Love a great deal?
