SB Hot List: 12 Game-Changing Discoveries
As another sweltering month starts to wind down, we're sharing some of the hottest items on our radar right now. From products we've added to our makeup bag to Amazon finds we can't stop gushing about, we're sharing a peek into Monday morning conversations among the StyleBlueprint team. Here's this month's edition of the SB Hot List! This article contains product affiliate links. We may receive a commission if you make a purchase after clicking on one of these links. Diyana Impex Cloth Napkins 'I was at a friend's house for dinner, and her colorful little cloth napkins totally stole the show (that and her sassy brood of chickens!). I went straight home and ordered my own. Napkins. Not chickens. They're perfect for dressing up a casual meal, adding charm to picnics and barbecues, and — bonus — cutting down on paper towel waste. With fun patterns and vibrant colors, these are an easy way to make any meal feel a little more fancy (and eco-friendly).' — Jenna Bratcher, Lead Nashville Writer & Associate Editor Pin LIGHT FLIGHT Travel Backpack 'I used to travel with a massive purse, but this backpack was a game-changer! With my laptop, notebooks, books, snacks, and accessories, it's super lightweight, and as someone who loves to stay organized, there are so many compartments to make organization easy. I never have to fumble for my phone, passport, or charger — each has its own dedicated spot! It comes in 11 different colors and can slip easily onto your carry-on.' — Kate Feinberg, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Specialist Pin Yoto Mini 'My cousin recommended the Yoto Mini, and it's my favorite new find for kids. It lets my kids pick stories to listen to at bedtime without having to use a device (and me having to worry about how they are using a device at bedtime). You can get a ton of stories and music on their little cards, or you can buy cards to record your own. I'm asking the grandparents to read aloud stories that they love.' — Sarah Finklea, Sales Operations Manager Cable Management Box 'I have some unsightly cords and powerstrips, and I have finally covered them up using these baskets. I chose a color that matches my wood floors, so they almost disappear. For less than $20 on Amazon, these are great!' — Liza Graves, CEO & Founder Fishwife Tinned Fish 'Tinned seafood is on-trend, and my current obsession is Fishwife. They offer a wide variety of flavors and preparations — think albacore tuna in spicy olive oil, mussels in basil pesto, and smoked salmon with chili crisp. You can serve with grazing boards, in rice bowls, on crackers … there are so many uses. Plus, the packaging is cute and colorful, making this a GREAT go-to for hostess gifts. If you're new to tinned seafood, I recommend the starter pack, but they have a wide variety of other options, and their shipments even come with a clever little box of toothpicks for serving!' — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor Travel Makeup Mirror 'I've landed on the world's best travel mirror. This one packs tightly, has two different height adjustments, three light settings, and dimming capabilities. Plus, it makes for the perfect back-to-school gift!' — Anne Marie Hanna, Marketing Coordinator & Editorial Assistant Side by Side Chai Mix 'I've been loving this chai mix from Side by Side Chai. It's made in Nashville, and I bought it at White's Mercantile. It's been such a nice treat in the mornings (I'm not a huge coffee drinker) and has made me even more excited for fall.' — Hailey Cunningham, Account Executive Sleeveless Maxi Dress 'I bought this dress when I was nine months pregnant, and it's SO flattering even with a bump. But even if you're not expecting, it looks great on any body type and is a perfect transition piece. Throw on a jacket, sweater, sneakers, or sandals. Plus, it's so comfy!' — Katelyn Caughron, Client Relations & Social Media Coordinator YSE Wide Awake Eye Cream ' YSE Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream is a total game-changer! It instantly hydrates and brightens my skin, leaving my under-eyes fresh and awake. I use it every morning — the cooling applicator, brightening boost, and burst of moisture make my tired eyes look revived in seconds.' — Caroline Neely, Account Executive Aplós Chili Margarita Mocktail 'I was recently visiting family in Minnesota when I spotted a pack of Aplós mocktails in my mom's fridge. I'm a margarita lover through and through, so I immediately opted for the chili margarita. Poured into a fancy glass over ice, it's the perfect pick-me-up — equal parts refreshing and delicious. Bonus: The brand offers other fun twists on other classic cocktails, too!' — Brianna Goebel, Sponsored Content Manager & Associate Editor Aritzia Scoopneck Cami Tank 'I am OBSESSED with these Aritzia tanks. They're so flattering and comfortable. Perfect for wearing on their own during this August heat or for layering during transition weather.' — Bailey Torkelson, Marketing Manager Havaianas Flatform Sandals 'The Havaianas Flatform Flip Flops are my summer go‑to: comfortable, durable, and featuring a chunky sole I love. They're the perfect addition to any hot‑weather outfit.' — Madison Huskey, Digital Account Coordinator

It's so comfortable, very flattering, and oh-so chic! I recently wore it on a girls' trip and received so many compliments. I love that it can be dressed up or easily thrown on with a cute pair of sneakers.' — Caroline Neely, Account Executive Pin Miami Two-Strap Sandals 'Baby's first pair of Crocs! After tons of research, I decided to purchase these for a trip overseas with LOTS of rain in the forecast. These sandals saw me through every possible terrain, including a rocky beach. They're super comfortable and INCREDIBLY lightweight, so they're easy to pack — a total win for travel. I went for versatile black (as I tend to do), but there are several other fun colors to choose from. (Heads up: I was only able to find these online on the official Crocs website, and they took a few days to ship.)' — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor Pin Strawberries & Creme Vita Coco 'I've always been a Vita Coco fan because there's nothing quite like naturally hydrating coconut water. But my latest Costco discovery, Strawberries & Creme Vita Coco, just took things to a whole new level. It tastes like the Starbucks Pink Drink, only at a fraction of the price, and now I always have a few bottles chilling in my fridge.' — Robert Conklin, Digital Developer Pin Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen 'This face sunscreen from Neutrogena is my go-to. I use it daily, and I love it because it's lightweight and not too oily. Plus, the bottle is small enough to throw in my purse when I inevitably need to reapply throughout the day.' — Brianna Goebel, Sponsored Content Manager & Associate Editor Pin Men's Training Shorts 'For people who like the WHOOP band (which I also recommend!), I've been loving my new WHOOP shorts for summer.' — Jay Graves, COO Pin Gold Strappy Sandals 'These are my new favorite summer sandals! They're super comfy and match any dress, pair of jean shorts, or romper in your closet. Plus, they're under $50.' — Katelyn Caughron, Client Relations & Social Media Coordinator Pin Medina Market Basket 'The Medina Market Basket is glued to my side all summer long. Not only is it super cute, but it's durable and can tote around just about anything, thanks to its convenient size. I use it for beach days, picnics, boating, and any occasion where I need to toss a variety of miscellaneous things into a bag and call it a day!' — Kate Feinberg, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Specialist Pin Snug Crop T-Shirt 'Give me this shirt in every single color. I've been living in these all summer. They're high quality, fit perfectly, and just make me feel polished and confident.' — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer Pin Every Day Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen 'Serious sun protection with a little shimmer? Yes, please. This reef-safe, water-resistant sunscreen is made with non-nano zinc and tested to be safe for you and the ocean. The shimmer version gives your skin a soft, radiant glow — and just the right amount of sparkle to feel a little extra.' — Mary Breen, Web Designer Pin RYOBI Cordless Misting Fan 'If you despise being outside in the swampy summer air (I do), and your body rejects the heat (mine does), this RYOBI fan is a breath of fresh air. Literally. But wait for it … it's also a mister! Prop it on top of a bucket of water, and voilà — an instant personal cooling station that turns even the stickiest afternoon into something dangerously close to enjoyable.' — Jenna Bratcher, Associate Editor & Lead Nashville Writer Pin Happy summer!
