Macy’s Black Friday in July Sale Is the Perfect Excuse for a Summer Style Refresh

Summer may already be in full swing, but there is still plenty of time to refresh your wardrobe, and Macy’s Black Friday in July Sale is making it a little too easy. Check out my Macy’s Storefront for my favorites.

From breezy dresses made for warm-weather plans to designer swimwear that instantly upgrades a pool day, the deals are seriously swoon-worthy. Whether you are packing for a vacation, heading to a summer wedding, planning a girls’ weekend, or simply trying to look put together without overheating, this sale is a great opportunity to scoop up everything your summer closet has been missing.

Flowy Dresses for Every Summer Plan

Nothing makes getting dressed easier than a flowy summer dress. Throw one on with sandals and sunglasses, and suddenly you look like you made an effort, even when you were out the door in five minutes.

Macy’s has options for practically every occasion, including colorful maxis for vacation dinners, lightweight midi dresses for brunch, and easy sundresses for running errands or meeting friends. Look for breathable fabrics, flattering waistlines, playful prints, and, of course, pockets whenever possible.

The best part? Many of these styles can transition into early fall with a denim jacket, cardigan, or ankle boots, so they will not feel like one-season purchases.

Designer Swimwear Without the Designer Price

A flattering swimsuit can completely change how you feel at the beach or pool. Macy’s Black Friday in July Sale is a great time to shop designer swimwear, especially if you have been eyeing a suit that normally feels like a splurge.

From supportive one-pieces and high-waisted bikinis to chic cover-ups, there are plenty of styles that combine comfort, coverage, and confidence. This is also the perfect time to replace an older swimsuit that has lost its shape or add something fun and colorful to your rotation.

Pair your suit with an oversized button-down, comfortable slides, a wide-brimmed hat, and a roomy tote for an effortlessly polished poolside look.

Sandals, Sunglasses, and the Finishing Touches

No summer outfit is complete without the right accessories. A simple dress can feel completely different depending on whether you style it with sporty sandals, woven wedges, or a sleek metallic pair.

The sale is also a good excuse to look for sunglasses, straw bags, statement earrings, and travel-friendly totes. These smaller additions can make pieces you already own feel fresh again without requiring an entirely new wardrobe.

Do Not Forget the Beauty Deals

Summer beauty is all about glowing skin, lightweight makeup, sun protection, and products that can hold up in the heat. Macy’s sale events often make it easier to stock up on favorite beauty products or finally try something that has been sitting in your cart.

Think hydrating skincare, bronzers, fresh fragrances, waterproof mascara, and easy lip colors that work for everyday wear. Beauty gift sets can also be a great value, especially when they include full-size products or travel-friendly extras.

Summer style should feel colorful, comfortable, and fun—and a swoon-worthy sale certainly does not hurt.

Tips for Choosing The Right Foundation


Hey there, Chicks! Today, let’s dive into one of the most crucial steps in our makeup routine: finding the perfect foundation match. As we age, our skin evolves, and so do our needs when it comes to makeup. So, whether you’re dealing with fine lines and wrinkles or just looking to achieve that flawless finish, I’ve got you covered with some savvy tips to ensure you’re picking the right foundation every time.

  1. Know Your Skin Type: Understanding your skin type is key to selecting the right foundation. Is your skin oily, dry, combination, or normal? Different formulas work better for different skin types. For instance, if you have oily skin, opt for oil-free or matte foundations to control shine. Dry skin? Look for hydrating or luminous formulas to add moisture and glow. I have normal skin; sometimes it is dry, and sometimes it is oily. My go-to moisturizer with SPF works for me all year long; shop it here. For my chicks with drier skin, use a hydrating spray, I keep the small bottles everywhere, in my car, makeup bag, and travel bag!
  2. Identify Your Undertone: This is a game-changer! Undertones come in three main categories: warm, cool, and neutral. Knowing yours can help you choose a foundation that blends seamlessly with your skin. Quick tip: Check the veins on your wrist. If they appear greenish, you likely have warm undertones. If they appear bluish, you’re more on the cool side. If you can’t really tell, you might have neutral undertones. For a lighter foundation finish, try my new favorite tinted balm.
  1. Test, Test, Test: Never underestimate the power of testing foundation before purchasing. Swipe a few shades in natural light along your jawline (not just your wrist!). The right shade should disappear seamlessly into your skin. Don’t be afraid to ask for samples to try out in different lighting throughout the day. This is where shopping online is hard, take a few minutes to go into the store to try and test.
  2. Consider Coverage and Finish: Foundations come in various coverages, from sheer to full. Consider what level of coverage you prefer and what your skin needs. As for the finish, options range from matte to dewy. If you have mature skin, you might want to lean towards hydrating or satin finishes to avoid accentuating fine lines. The older I get, the lighter my coverage gets. Check out my current foundation favorites.
  3. Don’t Forget SPF: Sun protection is non-negotiable! Opt for a foundation with added SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. While this isn’t a substitute for dedicated sunscreen, it’s an extra layer of defense, especially if you wear makeup daily.
  4. Adapt with the Seasons: Your skin tone can change throughout the year, so don’t be surprised if you need to switch shades with the seasons. Consider having a lighter shade for winter when your skin may be paler and a slightly darker one for summer when you have a bit more color.

Remember, the perfect foundation should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. So, take your time, experiment, and embrace your unique glow! With these tips, you’re on your way to flawless, fabulous skin. Stay beautiful, inside and out!
