Shop: Nordstrom Rack | DSW
UGG Sungaze Strappy Sandals
When one TFGer couldn’t stop raving about her UGG Sungraze Strappy Sandals after her recent trip to Rome, they sparked instant interest with our community.
The subtle platform adds just the right amount of polish, making them easy to style from daytime exploring to evening dinners. With an adjustable strap for a secure fit and a cushioned foam footbed, they deliver both style and all-day comfort, often described as feeling like walking on clouds.
Shop: Nordstrom
Pom Pom London Original Purse
The Pom Pom London Original Purse, our surprise No. 1 bestseller of 2025, has everyone excited again now that it’s available at Nordstrom (complete with free shipping and easy returns.).
Made from soft, high-quality leather, this versatile crossbody puts a modern spin on a timeless design. What truly sets it apart is its adaptability: with three removable straps, one leather and two fabric, you can effortlessly change up your look to suit any outfit or occasion. The wide range of vibrant and neutral shades ensures there’s a color to suit every personality.
From timeless favorites to fresh finds, many of your must-haves are now available at Nordstrom for the first time, definitely worth a browse.
Shop Sizes XS-XL: Toad&Co | Nordstrom
Toad & Co Sunkissed Maxi Dress
If you haven’t explored Toad&Co’s Sunkissed line yet, their maxi dress is the perfect place to start. It’s made from one of the best travel fabrics I’ve come across; wrinkle-free, lightweight, quick-drying, and finished with UPF 50+ protection, all without compromising on style.
The tulip-inspired front detailing, bra-friendly straps, and subtle back cutout adds just the right touch of interest. It’s the kind of easy, throw-on-and-go summer dress that works for everything.
Toad&Co has since expanded its Sunkissed line, and as someone who loves a jumpsuit, I had to try the Livvy Jumpsuit. I first bought it in another color last spring and it quickly became one of my most-packed travel pieces, worn everywhere from Southeast Asia to Playa del Carmen.
When I spotted a new print this season, it was an easy addition to my spring haul and, as expected, I’m loving it all over again. Here’s my mini try-on video!
If you missed what else made it into my shopping cart this spring, catch up here!
Shop Sizes: XS-XL Regular | XS-XL Petite | S-XL Tall | 1X-3X Plus: Lands’ End
Lands’ End Slim Leg Wrinkle Free Pants
This month’s standout from Lands’ End is their Starfish Mid Rise Slim Leg Pants. Made from a soft, cotton-rich knit with just the right amount of stretch, the packable, easy to care fabric helps them look fresh straight out of a suitcase, and they hold their shape even after hours of wear.
Their streamlined slim-leg silhouette is ideal for everyday wear yet stylish enough for more formal settings. Finished with a fuss-free and comfortable pull-on waistband, these pants are ideal for flights, all-day sightseeing, and everything in between.
Shop Sizes XXS-XXL: Banana Republic Factory
Banana Republic Timeless V-Neck T-Shirt
The Banana Republic Timeless Tee lives up to its name as a reliable wardrobe staple. Made from a soft cotton-modal blend, it resists pilling and holds its shape through long sightseeing days and back-to-back flights.
Easy to dress up or down, it works just as well worn on its own for a classic travel look as it does layered with your favorite pieces. An affordable option that doesn’t compromise on quality, it’s a go-to for effortless, year round style.

While it sits firmly in the investment category, it delivers the salon-quality results Dyson is known for in a sleek, travel-ready package.
Naturally, attention has now turned to hopes that the iconic Airwrap will be next to receive a dual-voltage upgrade.
