    In the mood for a summer shopping spree? You're not alone. This time of the year always calls for a pre-summer wardrobe and vanity refresh. Especially after seeing all the save-worthy outfit and makeup inspiration at Marie Claire's Power Play event (NBD, just a gathering of the top tastemakers in fashion, beauty, business, and media), I've filled my cart with new finds, and I can't keep them to myself. Luckily, I've listed every last elevated fashion staple and summer-proof beauty product you'll want to shop this season from brands you know and love and up-and-coming designers. Keep scrolling to shop 24 power picks for your summer lineup.
