The Playbook Edit No. 2
A major steal on a designer-look sideboard, the best new headphones for my workouts, and the white tee everyone’s raving about.
Welcome to The Playbook Edit—a monthly shopping list of sorts, featuring reader favorites, recent buys I’m loving, great sales, and items that caught my eye. I also love including feel-good finds from small businesses, women and minority-owned brands, and companies doing good work in the world.
Heads up: This one gets a little long, so you may want to open it in your browser or the Substack app to make sure you don’t miss anything good!
I tested this mold + stain gel in our washing machine and WOW—it works. Thanks to those of you who recommended leaving it on overnight for maximum impact!
You all love this UPF athletic shirt as much as I do. It’s comfy, flattering, and great for workouts or project days.
My bestselling nail product of all time is still going strong. It’s so easy to use that I now do my own nails weekly.
Our family loves anything Owala, and these kid cups are no exception.
I’ve shared some recent “Looks for Less”, and this fluted sideboard is SO similar to the one we love in our basement, for only 30% of the cost.
These new noise-canceling headphones are not only a dreamy blue but perfect for podcasts, music, and calls. Over-the-ear styles forever.
Ahead of Father’s Day, I scooped up some of Finn’s fave body wash. It’s luxurious, smells amazing, and looks chic in our shower.
During the first Casey Crowdsources, you helped recommend the best white t-shirts available. This one at Uniqlo was the number one recommendation (size up since it runs small). I recently added it to my closet and am impressed!
I’ve used Nécessaire for years. I typically reach for the Eucalyptus deodorant, but I’m testing out a new deodorant scent, and so far, so good.
I am loving how soft & comfortable this cropped, wide-legged pair of white jeans is. Make sure to size down. They’re also 50% off for Memorial Day weekend.
Since adding the Solo Stove (plus all of the accessories), our Friday pizza nights have leveled up. This hot honey from a Charleston small biz is the perfect topping for grown-up pies.
We use and love Tubby Todd products for the kids. This hair detangler spray makes brushing Rory’s hair a breeze.
I’m trying out a new-to-me cleaning product from the brand Biom. They make microplastic-free, non-toxic wipes, and here’s the best part…they come in a cute dispenser! You can use it on surfaces (I keep some in our bathroom to clean up the sinks) or on skin (I also keep in our car for sticky fingers and messes!).
Most of my daily makeup is from Merit, and I love that their products meet EU standards, are vegan, and cruelty-free. Just restocked my fave bronzer in “Clay.”
Quay makes my favorite sunnies, and I added this pair to my rotation. Stylish, affordable, and designed by music lovers in Australia.
Just in time for summer, I've added some new swimsuits to my closet. I love Summersalt’s one pieces (like this blue one) for pool days at our gym with the kids. The brand kindly offered a $10 discount on any order of $95 or more using code DIYPLAYBOOK10.
Everyone’s favorite bras by EBY are on sale. Take 25% off site-wide by using this link. Their relief bra is my go-to for everyday wear, and their sheer bralettes are a comfy take on a sexier style.
The most perfect pillows are on sale. We have them on every single bed in our house! Use DIYSLEEP20 for 20% off your order.
The Frame TV is an investment, but a worthwhile one. It’s currently on sale for 33% off. If you’ve been thinking about adding one to your home, now is the time!
We love our Article pieces, and they’re offering up to 40% off select items for Memorial Day. This outdoor sofa is from the same collection as our beloved sectional and is more than 30% off.
My all-time favorite dry shampoo is included in Living Proof’s Memorial Day special. Use code FF25 to take 25% off orders over $50 and to get a free dry shampoo when your order is $85 or more. It’s the perfect time to stock up!
To prep for book photoshoots, I scooped up this Nori press which will be perfect for quick wrinkle touch-ups. It’s kind of like a flat iron, but for your clothes and linens. They’re offering 25% off through May 27th.
Bisby, the brand behind several of Rory’s favorite dresses, is offering up to 50% off (no code needed) for Memorial Day weekend, and this sweet floral print is included.
I tested the vest trend in a recent Nuuly order and liked it more than I initially thought I would. If you’re considering adding one to your closet, this one comes in multiple colors and is less than $30.
As always, I keep my ShopMy Page, Flagship Shop, and Amazon Storefront updated with discounts, purchases and products I share on different platforms.
