Vera Bradley Large Bancroft Backpack

Vera Bradley’s Large Bancroft Backpack is perfect for work, school, or even traveling. ‘I adore the new solid colors and fabrics from Vera Bradley!’ says López. Crafted from durable nylon, it's both lightweight and sturdy, with ample space for a 15-inch laptop. The backpack also features numerous compartments and pockets to keep your belongings neatly organized while on the go.

Levi’s Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans

If there’s one item López highly suggests grabbing this sale, it’s ‘a great pair of jeans for fall.’ These straight ankle jeans from Levi’s are available in various washes and pair well with just about anything—dress them up or down with sneakers or heels. The high-waisted fit is flattering, and they’re made with 99% cotton and 1% elastane, offering the perfect stretch.

The Radley London Longacre Shoulder Bag is a must-have for fall, according to López. With its classic silhouette, this bag is crafted from high-quality leather and adorned with elegant brass hardware. It features multiple compartments to organize your essentials, and it comes in three neutral shades that will seamlessly match your wardrobe. When not in use, store it in the included dust bag to keep it looking pristine.

López says that the Radley London Longacre Shoulder Bag is the perfect 'trendy shoulder bag' for fall. Its elegant and timeless design is made from premium leather and features brass hardware. It also includes ample compartments for your essentials and comes in three neutral tones to match with any outfit. Plus, it’s stored in a dust bag for protection when not in use.

New Balance 515 V3 Sneaker

López recommends these neutral New Balance sneakers, the perfect 'goes-with-everything' option for the season. These versatile white sneakers, or gym shoes, are lightweight and feature soft foam cushioning to keep you comfortable and stylish. Pair them with leggings and an oversized sweatshirt for a relaxed look or dress them up with jeans or trousers for a more polished appearance.

Hanes Essentials Crewneck Tee

López suggests that foundational wardrobe staples, such as a basic white tee or tank, are essential for every season. This timeless crewneck tee from Hanes offers comfort, a flattering fit, and is budget-friendly. At only $8 each, you can easily collect it in multiple colors. Pair them with jeans, trousers, or skirts, or layer them under sweaters to keep them fresh longer. 

Lands' End Supima Cotton Turtleneck

López relies on wardrobe staples, often replenishing her favorite basics, like turtlenecks, each season. This classic Lands’ End supima cotton turtleneck is both lightweight and available in a range of colors. For a sophisticated office look, pair it with high-waisted trousers, a sleek belt, and lug sole loafers, or style it casually under your go-to overalls for a cozy autumn vibe.

Quay Level Up Sunglasses

A stylish pair of sunglasses is a must-have in any wardrobe, and these Level Up sunglasses from Quay are an excellent option. They are polarized to protect your eyes from the sun and have an oversized shape for a bold, fashionable statement. “I have a wide range of sunglasses, from high-end brands like RayBan to budget-friendly finds, and I love browsing Amazon’s collection,” López says.

Leonisa Lace Side Seamless Thong

Seamless thongs, like this one from Leonisa, have become a staple in López’s styling toolbox. Available in both beige and black, they offer exceptional comfort. Wear them with even the tightest clothes without having to worry about visible underwear lines. Be sure to grab a few while they’re on sale.

Hanes Ultimate Comfort Ankle Socks, Pack of 6

López swears by crew socks for pairing with sneakers, especially during Amazon Prime Day Big Deal Days. This six-pack from Hanes offers them for under $2 each, making them an affordable choice for socks that keep your feet comfortable and cool. With just the right amount of spandex for flexibility, and moisture-wicking technology, these socks are perfect for wearing all day long.

Ugg Tazzle Slipper

Ugg slippers, particularly the Tazzle ones, are a top pick for López, and it's easy to see why. Crafted from premium suede and real sheepskin, they’re incredibly soft and cozy. The platform design gives a subtle lift while maintaining comfort, and they’re available in three versatile neutral colors that easily pair with any outfit.

Beautural Travel Steamer

López's secret for ensuring her clients always look perfectly put together is a travel steamer, like this one from Beautural. "This is my go-to handheld steamer; the metal face works as an iron, and it folds in half for easy storage while traveling," she says. It weighs just over 1 pound and heats up in 30 seconds, allowing you to quickly smooth out wrinkles on your clothes.

Lillusory Oversized Slouchy Matching Lounge Set

Amazon is López's top pick for matching lounge sets, and she loves this one from Lillusory. The oversized knit set is super cozy and comes in more than a dozen colors. Featuring a relaxed, slouchy fit with flattering wide-leg pants, it's the perfect outfit for travel, running errands, or a girls’ night in.

Relavel Travel Makeup Case

A must-have for López’s travels is this makeup case from Relavel. It features adjustable dividers, so you can customize the interior to fit your toiletries, makeup, and jewelry perfectly. Available in four sizes, from small to extra large, and in multiple colors, it’s a lightweight case with a waterproof, anti-wear interior, making it durable enough to withstand frequent travel.
