Because minimalism is deeply, deeply overrated.

I am a contributor and former editor on the BuzzFeed Shopping team based in NYC (I've been writing posts for BuzzFeed Shopping for almost a decade!) whose primary passions are fashion, animals, pasta, and finding ways to work Taylor Swift references into as many posts as possible.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising review: "Wow! Love how these sunglasses look. Feel like a superstar. They fit great, not too big. They don’t slip. They are lightweight and the frames are not too thick. I like the lighter lenses; everything is very clear. I wasn’t squinting with them on so I would say the sun protection is good. They came with a cleaning cloth as well. I will be ordering in more colors." —Tracey

Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 33 colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "This is my second time purchasing these sunglasses because I wanted a backup pair of black and wanted to try a new fun color for summer. Whenever I wear these out in public, I get a ton of compliments! The shape is super trendy! People are always shocked to hear that I bought them from Amazon for under $20! Although they are inexpensive, they have a good weight to them and do not feel like cheap plastic sunglasses. The lenses are very dark, so I feel like my eyes are protected when I'm in the sun. These sunglasses have been a summer staple!" —DEAN S. YOSHIMURA

Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors).

I have this, and it's gorgeous and high-quality in person! It's flexible, not too heavy, and great for wearing with jeans.

Promising review: "Punk elegant! So awesome. Comfy, solid, not too shiny, certainly not flat. My whole life, I'd wanted to own a silver 'tough-ish' belt for casual blue or white jeans. Haven’t worn it yet, still thinking of the shoes." —Meowsythecat

"Perfect and fun. Fits your essentials like phone, wallet, and a few other things, and is so super cute!! A few wears now while being careful and haven’t had any issues with loose beads or sequins, so the bag is delicate but holding up better than I’d hoped!" —Lauren

I'm a huge fan of Kate Spade sunnies — mine last me years and years!

Promising review: "I’ve enjoyed Kate Spade sunglasses for years now. I appreciate how sturdy they are. This particular pair is just fabulous. The shape is very square without being huge. I really like how stylish these are. I would buy two more pairs." —dlb2022

Promising review: "I love these shoes so much. I bought them about a month ago and haven’t worn any other shoes since then. I have wider feet, and they don’t squeeze or hurt at all. There was no breaking in time; they were immediately comfortable. I have since ordered two more pairs." —Julie

Promising review: "This bag looks high-end! I loved the look of this bag online, so I took a chance and purchased it, and I am very happy that I did! The quality is A+, the perfect size, and amazing value for the money. I wore it out for date night with my husband, which helped pull the look together. The bag honestly rivals a few of the high-end designer bags I own. Get it, you won’t regret it!" —Chantel Walden

Get it from Amazon for $84.15+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "You won't regret these! I was skeptical as I have wide feet and heels can tend to be narrow, but not only were these perfect, they were super comfortable! I broke these in straight out of the box for a benefit event, and they were an absolute success! My pinky toe was the slightest bit sore, but nothing major." —Pbnmex3

Get them from Target for $35 (available in sizes 6–11).

This brand, Nadri, makes the most stunning crystal costume jewelry — I've been obsessed lately!

Get them from Nordstrom Rack for $14.99 (originally $19.99).

Promising review: "First, let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now, and in the beginning, I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks, I just decided to leave it on, and it has been fine. I never take it off; the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that, I love it, couldn't be happier, it's great for the price, and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels

I’ve been in search of a clear bag that was cute and didn’t overtake an outfit. It’s so versatile! I had to have it for concerts, sporting events, school activities, and more! It looks exactly like the picture." —MissMaya

"Amazing. I have a concert and graduation all in one week, where a clear bag is required. This handbag is super cute and very stylish. I can’t wait to carry this handbag. Also, it’s adjustable. You can use it as a crossbody or with two handles." —Texasgal4life
