Vera Bradley Large Bancroft Backpack

Vera Bradley’s Large Bancroft Backpack is super cute for work, school, or even travel. “I love the new Vera Bradley solid colors and fabrics!” says López. It’s made from durable nylon and it’s lightweight yet sturdy, and can carry up to a 15-inch laptop. The bag has plenty of compartments and pockets to keep you organized while you’re on the go.

Levi’s Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans

If there’s one piece López recommends grabbing during this sale, it’s “a great pair of jeans for fall.” These straight ankle jeans from Levi’s come in a wide range of washes and go with pretty much anything—dress them up or down with sneakers or heels. The high waist is super flattering, and they are made from 99 percent cotton and 1 percent elastane for just the right amount of stretch.

Radley London Longacre Shoulder Bag

Radley London’s Longacre Shoulder Bag is the “trendy shoulder bag” López says is a must-have for fall. Its silhouette is timeless, and it’s made from high-quality leather with beautiful brass hardware. The bag has plenty of compartments so it’s easy to access all of your essentials. Choose from one of three neutral shades to best suit your wardrobe, and store it in its included dust bag when it’s not in use (which won’t be very often).

New Balance 515 V3 Sneaker

These neutral sneakers from New Balance are goes-with-everything “white sneakers or gym shoes,” that López says every wardrobe needs this season. They’re lightweight, made from a soft foam cushioning, keeping you comfy and chic all at the same time. Style them with leggings and an oversized sweatshirt for a casual look for running errands or wear them with jeans or trousers for a more elevated look.

Hanes Essentials Crewneck Tee

According to López, basic layers, like a white tee or tank, are key regardless of the season. This classic crewneck tee from Hanes is soft, flattering, and affordable. At just $8 each, you can stock up one in every color. Style them with jeans, trousers, or skirts, and wear them underneath your sweaters to keep them fresher longer. 

Lands’ End Supima Cotton Turtleneck

Because basics are the most worn pieces in López’s wardrobe, she likes to restock go-tos, like turtlenecks, each season. This Lands’ End supima cotton turtleneck is timeless, lightweight, and comes in more than half a dozen colors. Style it with high-waisted trousers, a chic belt and a lug sole loafer for an elevated office outfit or under your favorite overalls for a more casual autumnal look.

Quay Level Up Sunglasses

Every wardrobe needs a trendy pair of shades, and these Level Up sunglasses from Quay are a great choice. They’re polarized to protect your eyes from the sun and perfectly oversized for a dramatic look. “My sunglass collection varies from name-brand like RayBan to $10 steals, so I always love looking through Amazon’s options,” says López.  

Leonisa Lace Side Seamless Thong

Seamless thongs, like this one from Leonisa, are a permanent fixture in López’s styling kit. They come in both beige and black, and are super comfy. Wear them with even the most form fitting clothes without ever having to worry about underwear lines showing. You’ll definitely want to stock up while they’re on sale.

Hanes Ultimate Comfort Ankle Socks, Pack of 6

According to López, crew socks to wear with sneakers are a must-buy during Amazon Prime Day Big Deal Days. This six-pack from Hanes drops the cost down to under $2 per pair, which is a small price to pay for socks that keep your feet comfortable and cool. They have a little bit of spandex for just the right amount of stretch, and because they’re moisture wicking you’ll want to wear them all day-long.

Ugg Tazzle Slipper

Ugg slippers, like these Tazzle ones, are a favorite of López’s, and for good reason. They’re made from high-quality suede and genuine sheep fur, making them super soft and cozy. The platform design gives you a little bit of a lift without compromising comfort, and they come in three neutral shades that match almost any outfit.

Beautural Travel Steamer

López’s secret for making sure her clients always look perfectly polished is a travel steamer, like this one from Beautural. “This is my favorite handheld steamer; the metal face doubles as an iron and it folds in half so it’s compact for travel,” she says. It weighs just over 1 pound and heats up in only 30 seconds, making it easy to quickly remove wrinkles from your clothes.

Lillusory Oversized Slouchy Matching Lounge Set

Amazon is López’s favorite destination for matching lounge sets, and she’s a fan of this one from Lillusory. The knit set is delightfully oversized and cozy, and it comes in over a dozen colors. It has a slouchy, relaxed fit with flattering wide-leg pants. It’s perfect for travel, running errands, or a girls’ night in. 

Relavel Travel Makeup Case

One of López’s essential items for travel is this makeup case from Relavel. It has adjustable dividers, allowing you to configure the interior to perfectly suit your toiletries, makeup, and jewelry. It comes in four sizes, ranging from small to extra large, and several colors. The case is lightweight, with a waterproof, anti-wear interior, so it will hold up even in the face of nonstop travel.
