With the arrival of warmer weather, the Camille Styles editorial team has shared their favorite products for May. The picks span fashion, home goods, beauty, wellness, and food, with a focus on simple, warm-weather essentials.
The farmers market is now worth the trip, with cherries, early stone fruit, and basil in season. The team reports spending more time outside and keeping meals simple, reaching for lighter food and routines.
Fashion
For denim, the team recommends a barrel-leg jean from Paige. The $269 Arellia 32″ Barrel Leg Jean is described as a cooler alternative to white denim that works with sandals and a tee. Editor in Chief Camille Styles said the shape is flattering and works with everything.
Another fashion pick is a 100% cashmere v-neck sweater from Jenni Kayne, priced at $325. The Flynn Cashmere V-Neck is described as slightly boxy and light, meant to elevate other pieces in a closet.
A Sézane Farrow Bag, priced at $275, is the day-to-night bag of choice. The editor noted it looks better with wear and is a classic piece planned to be carried for years.
The Negative Slink collection, including a bralette ($98), tank bodysuit ($198), and draped pant ($325), is being worn together as a set for slow mornings and Pilates.
Warby Parker Beale Sunglasses, at $95, are a repeat purchase. The editor said she has replaced them in tortoise many times and added a black pair for daily wear.
A pair of linen pants from J. Crew, the Soleil Pant in Linen for $98, is the only pair making it into one editor’s suitcase for a trip to Portugal. They are described as easy, breathable, and suitable for beach mornings, long lunches, and travel days.
Two pairs of leggings from Elite Eleven have earned a spot in one editor’s rotation. The Airey Petite Leggings ($55) are ultra-lightweight with a fit that hits at the ankle. The Soléa Petite Leggings ($65) offer gentle compression and are not see-through. The editor also plans to try the Aura Micro Shorts ($45) for hot yoga.
A Longchamp Le Pliage Original L Tote Bag, priced at $180, was chosen as an upgrade from a basic tote for a two-month stay in London. The editor said it feels more elevated and looks good with a bag charm.
Home
To keep a house clean, an outdoor entry rug from Ruggable, the Haven Natural Performance Weave Rug at $509, is being placed outside every door at a beach house. The performance weave allows it to live outside and be washed in the machine.
Handmade stemless wine glasses from Casa Zuma, a set of four for $88, are the everyday entertaining glass. The editor said they are the glass people reach for, whether for a dinner party or a Tuesday evening on the patio.
A Topanga Mug from Casa Zuma x Limor Pinz, priced at $42, has become a daily favorite. The editor said the shape, weight, and feel make the first cup of coffee feel more grounding.
Beekeeper’s Naturals Superfood Honey, $39.99, is being used nonstop. The wellness editor drizzles it into Greek yogurt bowls, eats a spoonful before a workout, or stirs it into tea.
La Fermière Vanilla Bean Yogurt, $3.19 at Target, is a new favorite sweet treat. The food editor described it as sweet, creamy, and delicious, and said it comes in a cute clay pot.
A Camp Snap Camera, a screen-free digital camera for $69.95, is being brought on a family trip to Australia. The content marketing director said it feels like a disposable camera but is digital, and it has been fun to let her kids use it.
Beauty and Wellness
AG1 Next Gen Pouch, $99, is the morning greens habit that the editor said makes the cut every time. She described it as a daily foundation for her health.
A supplement trio from Ritual is now in rotation. The editor added a subscription for the Omega-3 DHA & EPA ($33), which she said has no fish taste, alongside the Synbiotic+ ($54) and Stress Relief ($54). She said these are the three she is committed to in her current season.
For summer skin, a Skin & Lip Essentials Set from True Botanicals for $133 includes a Pure Radiance Oil for night and a Lipid Lip Oil to carry everywhere.
A brow gel from Rare Beauty, the Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting and Laminating Eyebrow Gel for $21, is the makeup must-have. The social media manager said it gives a fluffy, lifted look without getting crunchy.
For a sober summer, two products are being used. Alice Mushrooms Party Trick ($59) is a nootropic chocolate formulated with adaptogens for social elevation. Apothékary’s Rosé-Tinted Glasses ($39) are herbal drops for calm and clarity.
A hand cream from Grown Alchemist, the Restorative Hand Cream for $26, has a permanent spot in one editor’s work bag for its hydrating texture and subtle scent.
Two books are recommended for summer reading. “The Windsor Affair” by Melanie Benjamin ($30) is a fictionalized account of the abdication of Edward VIII, told from the perspectives of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Wallis Simpson. “All the Feels: How to Stay Human in the Digital World” by Pamela Pavliscak ($29) argues that how a person engages online shapes their emotional life.
For hair, the Oli G Aqualush Peptide Fiber Mask ($39) is being used before hot yoga. The editorial strategist said it provides shine and makes air drying less chaotic.
A serum from French Farmacie, the Alchemy Serum for $200, is described as providing retinol results without redness or flaking. The editorial strategist said her skin looks better, and applying it has become a favorite part of her day.
Bask Mineral Sunscreen Serum SPF 30, $38, is a skincare-first sunscreen. The beauty editor said it makes sunscreen feel like skincare and reapplying feel like a ritual.
For reactive skin, Activist’s A.M.S Green Botanical Serum ($85) is the serum kept in rotation. The beauty editor said it contains anti-inflammatory ingredients like blue tansy and manuka honey and smells like spring.
