Best of Amazon, Vol. 1.

Best of Amazon

Ever since writing this post, I have developed a bit of an obsession with finding the best things on Amazon. Up until more recently I really only used Amazon for books and things for my apartment when I was too lazy to run to the store (i.e. dish soap, etc!). But there is like this whole UNIVERSE of amazing stuff on Amazon. You just have to put in a little bit of work to find it. You might remember my favorite pearl bag from last month – it’s one of my most favorite things. This month, I bought this gold cage bag and was surprised + excited by how luxe it looks in person. It’s the perfect statement bag for events and parties.

I also included my fav sonix sunglasses as they’re finally back at a normal price (for some reason they were showing up as $458!!!) They are the best. And these clear earrings are JUST like my Rachel Comey earrings which seem to have sold out yet again in clear. Lastly, this white sweater – such a good price and looks just like Madewell!

Two other standout things to share:

one: I am really into Amazon’s collab with The Cut. The tees are so great, especially this one. You can read more about the collaboration here.

two: J.Crew Mercantile just launched! Everything looks great – amazing basics at great prices! I got this chambray shirt and it’s perfect.

    You’ve got me really curious about using Amazon for clothes too now. I really like the wooden laptop case! 🙂

    I love your amazon reccs! I recently got a purse from there as well and was quite impressed. Anytime I find a more trendy item I like, I check for it on Amazon first and usually get it at a way cheaper price.

    Thanks!! Can you share more about this facial essence? I love SK-II but I love the price point of this product…

      I like it! I would say it’s not as good as SK-II but still pretty good. There’s a good conversation about it in the comments section of this post: https://thestripe.com/2018/08/affordable-ish-skincare/

        Curious, Grace — did you get Intensive or Intensive Moist? I think I like the moist better!

    Thank you for doing this round-up of amazon finds! I love amazon and recently furnished my apartment (headboard, couch, and all) from things found on amazon. But haven’t yet bought much of their clothing. These are awesome finds!

    I swear by Missha’s facial essence, but I did start ordering it directly from the company, because I read in some of the reviews that people were getting old version or the wrong version of it. I think you just need to be really careful about who the actual Amazon vendor is. But thanks as always for all the recommendations Grace! Always appreciate many of your finds!

    Ordered the button down sweater and LOVE. Def ordering it in more colors. I also came across these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HMR3JDQ?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=M6YG7W0YRQVAG4MRJFKF while looking at the earrings on your post and I’m obsessed.
