Perks and Rec: Wedding guest sales to swoon over

Happy first day of summer, y'all. To celebrate, let's crack open a cold one (that emergency pint of ice cream in your freezer). If you're looking to make your own ice cream this year, our value pick in ice cream makers is on sale today. It's easy to use and small enough to store even in the most crowded of freezers. Consider your summer sweet tooth satisfied.

The first of summer also ushers in another major part of the year: peak wedding season. My calendar's filling up fast, and I'm severely lacking in wedding-ready outfits. Cocktail dresses are buy one, get one free at Lulus right now, if you need to stock up for weddings or other events. For shoes and accessories, head over to Anthropologie's sale section.

Hope you can spend some time out in the sun today. Happy shopping.
