April Amazon Haul

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you are all having a great day. I am so excited to share this month’s haul. I really wanted to focus on finding a variety of items that had great fabrics and bright spring colors and prints. If I don’t say so myself I think I hit the jackpot! All the items in the haul are such great quality AND under $35! Everything is linked below and if you’re a visual person and prefer to watch the try on instead of read about it, you can find the full video on my Instagram @carolinejohnson_ under my April Amazon Haul highlight.

I wanted to mention how the links work to shop. If you’re shopping from your phone, please use Safari instead of the Amazon app to shop. For some reason shopping through the Amazon app doesn’t track back to my site and give me credit. Such a bummer but a lot of time and effort goes into these hauls so if you are looking to snag something and want to give me credit, I would:

  1. Add the items to your cart through the Amazon app.
  2. Navigate to this post on caromarie.com from Safari on your phone or a computer.
  3. Click any of the pictures/links below to take you back to Amazon.com (seriously it doesn’t matter what link you click).
  4. Then sign in to your account to view your cart and purchase the items.

This is weird to do and TRUST me even stranger and more uncomfortable for me to announce, but it means a lot to me for those of you who are shopping to do it this way so the credit gets tracked back to my page! Thank you for the support everyone! Love ya guys! Lets go:

  1. Lemon Two Piece-Can we take a moment of silence for this $20 look please!? I am obsessed with this two piece. It is such a cute print, it makes me want to go to Italy and drink all the limonchello. It is true to size, I am wearing a medium. The top is super stretchy elastic as well as the skirt, making the set super comfortable to wear. Even better, the fabric on the skirt is seriously butter soft. It could even been worn to look like a dress if you tuck the skirt into the bottom of the tub top. I love that you can wear the set together or break up the pieces and wear them with other things like pairing the top with high waisted shorts or a simple knotted white v-neck with the skirt.
  2. Straw Tassel Tote– Everyone needs a cute straw bag! I love the rounded style of this one and the adorable tassel that comes with it. I love that the tassel is detachable so you can use it on other bags too! The bag has one interior zipper. It is $27 but be warned- this is not a super high quality bag, it is a soft straw bag and the lining is on the cheaper side. I plan on using this as a beach bag. You can expect cute with this bag but not fancy!
  3. Printed Maxi Dress– This dress is such a great transition piece going into Spring! It flows really well and the elastic waistband is so flattering. The dress has true- buttons all the way up and down the front. It has a cute tassel tie at the waist. I am 5’4″ and ordered a size small and the length is perfect. You can wear this as a dress or you could even unbutton it all the way and wear it more as a kimono over jean cut offs and a tank. It is under $35 and comes in over 20 prints and colors!
  4. Palm Print Blouse– I love a good palm print and this one may be my new favorite! I love the pinks and oranges that are in the print. The bubble sleeves are so adorable. This is such a great quality top too- the fabric is lined in the front so it is no way see through. I love that the top can be worn to work, out on the town, church, literally anywhere! I sized down to a small and it fits perfectly. The top is under $26 and comes in 10 other colors and prints too.
  5. White Peplum Top– I own this top in two colors now-that’s how good it is you guys! It is so soft and flows so good on. I like that the sleeves are a little bit longer than a normal t-shirt. The material itself is thin, but not see through. The shirt hangs longer in the back which is always a plus in my opinion! It comes in a million colors, I would make sure to order your true size if you want the shirt to be flowy as it is intended, and size down if you want a more fitted look. Either way this is a win win!
  6. Purple Thermal– Ok seriously I am in love! Not only because this is my favorite color in the world, but this top is so cozy. It is the perfect cool weather spring sweater/thermal. I love the quality of it which you can see in the buttons and the woven fabric. I did size down to a small because reviews said it was oversized and I am glad I did! I still have so much room and it still has the oversized look even sizing down. This one comes in four other colors and is only $23.
  7. Black Jumpsuit– I love a good jumpsuit and this one is so cozy. It would be perfect for running around town or a long day of travel. It has an adjustable waist tie, racer back detail and pockets. There is a button closure at the bust which keeps everything in place. I ordered a size small and it fits great except in the bust area the clasp does not shut all the way. My recommendation is if you are larger than a D cup or taller than 5’4″ you should order at least a medium. The jumpsuit comes in five other colors and also comes in a short sleeve option. It’s only $22!
  8. Coral Halter Dress– I love a good chiffon dress! This would be a perfect outfit for a wedding or shower. The coral color is so gorgeous. The dress has a pleated detail along the neck line and it ties at the neck into a halter. The back of the dress is open until about the mid back and has an elastic band to keep everything in place. It is fully lined and strapless bra approved! Comes in over 10 colors and prints and is under $20.
  9. Lilac Romper– Oh My Gosh you guys. I can’t believe this is from Amazon! It is so stinkin cute I can’t handle it. I love a good romper and even better one in my favorite color. It has elastic all around the waist line making it super comfy and easy to get on and off. Then it ties in the front- you can either leave the ties hanging or tie it into a bow like I did-super adjustable and is great for any bust size! When you tie it, there is still a little peek-a-boo cut out in the front under the bow. I ordered a size large and have full booty coverage. Comes in over 10 other prints and colors and is only $20!
  10. Car Clothing Hooks– Not a fancy thing but still so good! I needed more hooks in my car because the ones I have are not very deep and I never have enough space to hang more than a few items at a time. I love that these hook onto the back on the headrest. I hang my purse, grocery bags, and clothes from them. They come in black and beige so you can match them to the color of your car.
  11. Tile Mate– These are live savers! I got the four pack because we have three dogs and a large property and sometimes they go rouge haha. The fourth tile was put on Chase’s keys so we no longer have to go searching for where he left them last. I love that they are small enough and have a hole to hook them on the dogs collar without being annoying. You can call the tiles through an app on your phone and it will make a little jingle. You can name the tiles different things on your app and see where on a map your things are when you loose your tile… or in our case a dog haha. Such a good investment and highly recommend if you are a chronically misplace things or if you have pets that like to roam!

Items worn in the April Try on Session on Instagram purchased from previous Amazon hauls:

  1. Denim Cut Offs– These $25 denim cut offs were a risk and they payed off big time! I read lots of reviews and decided to order the light blue wash. They are a tad darker in person than the photo online- which I was hoping for! They are stretchy so they are super comfortable. I ordered my true size, a medium, and they fit perfectly. I like that they have fraying and distress to them and that there are little slits on the side of the shorts so there is no constriction for my big ole legs. They also come in four other washes.
  2. Straw Fedora– Ok so you know I love hats. I had to get this straw fedora because I was seeing so many pictures of people vacationing on spring break and I realized I do not have a good beachy fedora. This one is only $16 and had the most reviews on Amazon I could find. It is one size fits all with an adjustable strap inside but it fits my head really well (has a good snugness to it so I don’t feel like it will blow off in the wind) and it will go with pretty much anything. I am wearing the color khaki but comes in tons of band styles and colors.
  3. Silver Band– This ring was 100% impulse buy while binge watching tv one night lol. I read lots of good reviews and wanted another silver ring to wear since I only have one other (I am more of a gold person). For under $15 I love it. It is the perfect band width to make a statement. It is so sparkly and true to size so don’t sweat reading the size chart on this one. I got tons of compliments on it. It also comes in gold.
  4. Statement Earrings– These earrings are so cute and SUCH a steal! If you have been following me for a bit you know how obsessed I am with Bauble Bar, and these totally come close to some of their stuff, just for like half the price! These are $15 and come in ten, yes EIGHTEEN, different variations and colors! They are not heavy to wear and the beading seems to be great quality, especially for the price. I will 100% be ordering more.
  5. Knotted Bangle– This bracelet is adorable. I want to start wearing more bracelets and so I snatched this up in a heartbeat. I think the cute little knot is the perfect detail. It can be worn with absolutely anything. The rose gold is nice because I can pair it with gold or silver jewelry and it still makes a statement. The bracelets come in silver, brass, gold and rose gold. You can also buy a four pack of the bangles in same color or a variety of all colors too.
