One of the facts of life is that May is a great month to get some shopping done. The weather is changing, invitations to weddings and other social events might be piling up, and summer trips are getting booked. Not only that, but retailers are still getting new arrivals for spring and early summer on a very regular basis, and many things aren't yet sold out.
All that said, it can be a little overwhelming to decide exactly what to buy and from where, so I narrowed it down to three retailers with tons of great things for all of your upcoming summer plans: Net-a-Porter, Nordstrom, and Madewell. Dresses, jeans, accessories, tops, and more abound, so get excited. I even edited my selection down even further to 10 items from each retailer that I'd personally love to order this May.
Scroll to shop my picks, and I hope that you have a lovely month of May.

You'll wear these so much more than you even think you will.

My advice is to get yourself an orange swimsuit before all the good ones sell out.
