Last-Minute Shopping? These Ready-To-Pack Looks Are All on Amazon
Below, take inspiration and shoppable cues from my 11 outfit ideas for days when you put on more than just a swimsuit. And if you think I didn't legitimately order several of these exact looks for myself in the process, guess again.
The Bubble Skirt
The charming return of bubble skirts was a shock to us all, but suddenly, I can't get enough. Now is the time to wear your favorite white pieces and all the raffia you can find.
Dressed Up
I know the drill: beach bum by day, five-star restaurant for dinner. It's quite literally what I look forward to all year. On those evenings when you feel like showing up and showing out, I recommend a silky dress.
Resort Vibes
'Tis the season to wear a cover-up as an outfit, and call it a day. Of course, this crochet duo will look incredible over a swimsuit, but don't let that discourage you from getting creative. The best part about packing coordinating sets is that they can be styled as separates, too. That's at least three different outfits from just two items. Girl math!
All Black
Think you can't get away with all black in the summer? Au contraire, mon ami. While everyone's favorite color does attract the sun—and thus can become hotter than its light-hued counterparts—black can be very chic for summer, especially if you're vacationing somewhere like Paris or New York City. I'm personally obsessed with these tailored Bermuda shorts and this toe-ring sandal.
Guava Girl
Allegedly it's 'guava girl summer' and 'sardine girl summer'? It's hard to keep up, but here's what you need to know: The hottest trend this season is dress like you're having fun. And the best way to do that is, yes, to actually have fun with your wardrobe. Guava girls are turning to hibiscus motifs and tropical palettes, while sardine gals are opting for all things fish-shaped (obviously). I think I'm more of the former variety, so here's my take on a playful guava-inspired ensemble.
Laidback Prep
When temperatures are truly oppressive, minimal effort is key. You can never go wrong with a matching set, bonus points if it's linen. To elevate an otherwise simple look, try adding boat shoes, which offer a nautical touch, and statement accessories. This hat is Kendall Jenner-approved, by the way.
A Halter & Kitten Heels
Among ELLE's shopping team, we're collectively obsessed with halter tops for summer. I have at least four in my own rotation. And I'm very into the combo of loose jeans and kitten heels at the moment. I can't believe I didn't find this barrel style sooner—it's basically an exact replica of my favorite $100 pair for less than half the price.
Lowkey Comfort
First of all, an Olsen-endorsed sandal for walking? Say less. I've never ordered something so fast. For chill afternoons that don't require getting dolled up or for travel days when you want to be cozy and cute, this ensemble never misses. A flowy pull-on pant and a white tank top will always be a winning recipe. Add a light layer and beachy accessories to taste.
Neutral Glam
Not to be dramatic, but I'm pretty sure I would die for this Simon Miller bag. It's the only purse I want to use this summer. For the understated icon, this outfit is all about clean girl energy. Freshly washed hair in a slick bun, sun-kissed skin, and a spritz with a view...take me there now. (And P.S., anklets are so in.)
Polka Dots
By now you're probably heard that patterns are having a moment this summer—gingham, polka dots, and stripes, namely. I love them all equally, but this darling dress was too cute to ignore, so we'll stick with spots this time. With a little cardi wrapped around your shoulder in case it gets chilly? Très magnifique.
Denim Shorts
I have to show some love to my casual girls, too. After all, not every vacation is sun, sea, and sand. For the urban explorer or mountain mama, summerify your everyday go-tos by adding pops of color. Besides, no suitcase feels complete without a pair of jean shorts.

I'm a Solo Traveler, and My 15 Essential Safety Devices Are on Sale at Amazon for the Fourth of July—From $8
As a food and travel writer, a certain level of risk is unavoidable when traveling alone and exploring unfamiliar spaces. I love my job so much, and it's always so exciting to meet new people and try new foods and flavors—but there's absolutely been a few not-so-great moments along the way. Like many of my travel writer friends, I've been pickpocketed in the past—I was lucky in that I didn't lose my passport or my phone in the process, but I have lots of friends who weren't as lucky. None of us wants to scale back on the travel we love, but we can make efforts to stay safer when we're out and about, whether as a solo female traveler or just in crowded tourist-heavy spots. We can take easy steps to protect ourselves, with personal safety devices and other items that will help avoid potential theft and risk. Thankfully, Amazon's July 4th sales make that a lot easier, as some of my very favorite go-to packables for anti-theft protection and personal safety are now on sale—some as much as 50 percent off. There are plenty of places that we need to protect our valuables—trains, planes, the gym, while at the pool or the beach—and this cute and portable lockbox is a great way to get the job done. It's light, compact, and easy to use: just set your own combination and go. Despite its portable size, it's still roomy enough to keep passports, credit cards, cash, phone, keys, and anything else you need safe. One five-star Amazon reviewer calls this lock box "a must-have for peace of mind." It even comes with a handy included cable loop so you can secure the box to a fixed object, like your bike, bed post at the hostel, beach chair, or just about anywhere else. We want our valuables to be safe and secure at all times, but we can't always keep them in our sight. This TSA-approved luggage lock with a flexible steel cable is ideal for airports and on public transportation; it can keep our luggage and anything else we need to keep secure, safe, and sealed. "Bought this to lock up my skis at the ski resort so I don't have to worry about them walking off," shares an Amazon five-star review. It's easy to use, too, since you just set the code and lock it, no key required. These zipper clips are great to keep purses or backpacks more securely closed when traveling. Clip one onto the existing zipper and it'll be a deterrent for pickpockets. "Purchased these for backpacks we'll be using in Europe. But not just Europe, anywhere we're in a crowd where there is the possibility of a pickpocket getting into our packs,' shares a five-star Amazon review. They're easy to use and come in a pack of six, so you can use them on all of your travel bags. Pickpockets are going to go for open-topped purses or backpacks first and foremost; they want the easy grab-and-run. This neck wallet will be much harder to get into without you noticing; plus, its durable water-resistant fabric and RFID-blocking properties will keep the contents safe, no matter where you are. Amazon shoppers love how secure and well-designed this neck wallet is, calling it 'great for travel' because of how much it can hold—phone, keys, credit cards, and a passport. As a solo female traveler, I'm always extra alert when staying at hotels or Airbnbs. My personal safety is always front of my mind, and I know sometimes people get the wrong key card or a door can swing open. This door stop alarm is so easy to carry and use; you don't have to be handy because there's no installation necessary. Just place the alarm behind any inner pull door and have added peace of mind when showering, changing, or going to bed for the night. "I appreciate the extra sense of security I feel when I travel alone. It's easy to use and the alarm is loud enough that it would most certainly get my attention," shares an Amazon reviewer. A crossbody is the perfect way to keep items secure and attached to you, while also in your line of sight and your hands free. This Skysper bag's main compartment is large enough for your phones and keys, while the RFID-blocking zippered pocket is a perfect spot for your passport, other IDs, and credit cards. There are absolute horror stories about vacation rental and Airbnb hosts leaving hidden cameras in even the most sensitive areas of their home in order to monitor their guests. This means you could possibly be a victim of listening devices or hidden cameras, even while in the bedroom or bathroom. Hidden camera detectors are surprisingly affordable and help keep you safe by scanning the area for any signals. "I actually used this at a hotel we stayed at. Busted!" says one Amazon five-star reviewer of this hidden camera detector. The Tracki GPS Tracker is a handy device when traveling as it's an app that works as a GPS tracker for cars, luggage, keys, and more—even children and pets, making it truly priceless when traveling or even right at home. Use it to keep an eye on your belongings, or keep it on your person and have a friend or family member know where you are when traveling solo. It's the best tracker on the market, says an Amazon five-star reviewer. "Not only is it incredibly reliable and easy to use, but it's also surprisingly affordable compared to other options on the market,' they write. 'I've been impressed with its accuracy and consistency—it gives me peace of mind knowing I can track what matters most without any hassle." Whether keeping our phone in a pocket or holding onto it, it can drop, get lost, or be grabbed—and travel is a nightmare without our phone at our fingertips, not to mention the safety or cost concerns. This phone anchor is super secure with a double-gated carabiner with a twist-to-lock center locking mechanism. This is a must for peace of mind when traveling, according to Amazon shoppers. "On a recent trip overseas, I had my phone in my hand most of the day, every day, in a city that has recently become notorious for phone snatchers,' writes one five-star reviewer. 'The design gives the flexibility to attach this to an item (bag, pants, etc) or loop around your wrist, but I ended up using it around my wrist most of the time.' Hackers pose a serious risk, and I live in constant fear of fraud and identity theft. Access to passports, other IDs, and credit cards makes theft that much easier, so a pouch that protects against those RFID readers scanning our chips is a huge help. These signal-blocking bags can protect bank cards, credit cards, and anything else that has our crucial private information from being tracked or hacked. Even more fun? Put your phone in the bag and it won't get a signal either…great for avoiding phone calls or texts when trying to get some shuteye on another time zone. "Worth every penny!" shares an Amazon shopper. A portable charger can literally be a lifesaver if we need to access maps to find our way home when lost or call an Uber to get us out of a dangerous situation. This Anker device charges quickly, is lightweight, and even comes with a built-in USB-C cable so you won't worry about forgetting yours in the hotel room. "This is a great piece of tech, compact in size, has just enough capacity for what can be needed in day-to-day life as a backup power device," says an Amazon shopper. RFID-blocking gets increasingly important as hackers continue to become more sophisticated; these secure sleeves couldn't be simpler to use. Protect bank cards, credit cards, ID, or passports from scanners that can hack and commit fraud and theft by sliding them into the sleeves. "I was a victim of someone scanning my credit cards while they were in my wallet, and I came across this product,' shares an Amazon shopper. 'It fits snugly in your wallet. It comes in various colors ,which can assist you in organizing your cards if you have multiple cards, like I do. The sleeves are very durable, weightless, so it doesn't make your wallet too bulky. Since I've purchased this, I have had no more problems with RFID scamming.' As a solo female traveler, there are a lot of dangerous situations we can find ourselves in. It's very easy for someone to slip something into our drink if it's unattended or uncovered. These reusable drink-cover scrunchies are an easy solution for peace of mind by covering cups to block someone from slipping nefarious drugs inside. As an added bonus, reviewers say they use them while at the beach or camping to keep sand and bugs out of drinks, too. There are many reasons to consider packing a mini flashlight when traveling. They offer a light source in emergencies or blackouts, or simply a dark room where a light isn't accessible. If you are lost or injured and trying to find your way back, it can be a lifesaver—and, if you are simply trying to read instructions, a label, or even relaxing with a book in a dark room, that light can be helpful then too. "Perfect for travel. Lightweight, small, and easy to fit in a carry-on. Love the glow in the dark feature; makes them easy to locate in the dark, yet it is not obnoxious," says one Amazon shopper. Pickpockets know to look for purses and backpacks, but hidden pockets are a great line of defense. This cute fleece vest is great for layering and feeling comfortable and casual while exploring, but it also boasts six pockets, both internal and external, and some zippered and hidden, ideal for keeping valuables and personal items secure. "This is a necessary part of my travel apparel when I fly. I fill the pockets with my passport, boarding passes, phone, ear buds, reading glasses, etc. It looks nice with black stretchy pants and a white blouse, plus it keeps me warm in a chilly airplane," says one five-star Amazon reviewer.

This golf sale beats Prime Day — take an extra 25% off clearance apparel at PGA TOUR Superstore
It's that time of year when everyone online is fixated on the best Amazon Prime Day deals. And there's nothing wrong with that — Amazon has some good stuff available at more than 50% off in some cases. But other retailers will often launch sales to combat Prime Day. In the case of PGA TOUR Superstore (one of the best places to shop for golf equipment and apparel), you can save an additional 25% off already reduced clearance golf apparel. The price shown includes the extra 25% off, so you don't need to worry about dealing with promo codes or clickable coupons — simply add the goods to your cart and check out as you usually would. Chubbies is one of the golf apparel brands that doesn't generate as much hype as the likes of FootJoy, Puma and some of the other big names, but it should. The company makes some incredibly soft polos with fun designs, and the Moon Shadow is no exception. If you haven't tried one, this is the perfect time to do so, as this polo is an affordable option. I have several pairs of Puma golf shorts and pants, and they're among my favorites. The shorts, available in every size from 30 to 42, are on the shorter side, which is a good look if you have the confidence to pull it off. Made with 86% recycled polyester and 14% elastane, these are a quality pair worth picking up at this price. I've gone on record stating that Johnnie-O is one of my favorite golf apparel brands, and when you get a chance to get one of the company's ultra-soft polos for $52, it's not a deal you want to miss. It's made with an interesting blend of 57% cotton, 38% modal and 5% spandex, and I'm confident that it'll be one of the most comfortable garments in your closet. Travis Mathew is one of the more expensive golf clothing brands. Even with the 25% discount on clearance, this one will still hit the wallet fairly hard. However, if you're a big fan of the feel of the company's shirts, saving $22 is a significant discount on the shirt that's designed ot be used as a golf polo, a work polo or an everyday polo (I use all of my golf polos as everyday polos, but that's me). Here's another bold proclamation from me: FootJoy makes the best and most comfortable golf joggers on the market. With close to 50% off, this is the perfect time to snag a pair and see what I mean. They're available in the full size range from 30 to 42, but they won't last at this price. A skort is the perfect item for warmer days when you don't want pants (or, you can pair it with leggings on the colder days). This one comes from FootJoy, one of the most popular golf apparel brands, and it's available at a massive discount. Size small is already sold out, so don't snooze if you're an XS, M, L or XL. Tail makes expensive golf clothing for women, and this skort falls within the same high price range when it is at its full price. With it dropped by 63% to $39, though, it's way more affordable (and it still looks just as good with its layered details). This shirt is fantastic from a visual standpoint. I prefer my golf shirts to be visually appealing, and this one fits the bill with its bright colors and interesting design. For now, all sizes are in stock, so if this polo resonates with your sense of style, you'll want to grab it while you can. If you need a thinner long-sleeved shirt for breezy days on the course, the Jamie Sadock Q-zip is just what you need. With its 92% polyester and 8% spandex materials, it'll be just as comfortable as your golf polos, but a little warmer. And the viper design will certainly stand out from the crowd. This shirt features an intriguing orchid design that's designed to draw attention. It also has full sleeves to keep your arms covered when the temperature drops a few degrees (it's no substitute for a jacket, but if it's just a little cool, it'll do the job). The 84% polyester and 16% spandex build promises plenty of comfort and quality, and the $55 price is solid for such a nice long-sleeved shirt.
